Chiba... What had he gone through...?
So much blood, so many bandages... Had Hirohiko given him emergency treatment? What exactly had they encountered? Why had Chiba lost so much blood? And these bandages were all Medical Chakra bandages, along with these Medical Ninjutsu sealing scrolls. Nearly every Medical Ninjutsu sealing scroll Hirohiko had been carrying was here, wasn't it?
Taking a deep breath, Yukina lowered her right hand from her mouth and slowly stood up. Her gaze wandered, and her already furrowed brows tightened even further.
Before setting out, Chiba had evenly distributed all the sealing scrolls, Medical Chakra bandages, and special Ration Balls he had accumulated during this period—ones too recent to report to the village—among them. She had handled the distribution herself, so she knew exactly how many bandages and sealing scrolls Hirohiko and Chiba had carried.
In truth, sealing ninjutsu into sealing scrolls was an extremely difficult task. Even at Chiba's level of Sealing Jutsu, he had only sealed a little over sixty techniques during this time, most of them Medical Ninjutsu and support techniques. The Mystical Palm Technique and Rock Hardening Technique in particular made Chiba's intentions clear: he wanted them to be able to save each other's lives. Most of what he sealed were techniques for survival and rescue, while offensive techniques were comparatively few.
Therefore, from the number of sealing scrolls scattered across the ground, Yukina could roughly infer how many Hirohiko still had on him.
Since Hirohiko had left behind a trap like this, it meant he was all right. But something had forced him to abandon Chiba here and leave to do it. That was why he had given Chiba emergency treatment, even using the medical sealing scrolls and bandages on his person, as well as some of the medical sealing scrolls
