Jiraiya's Arm Transplant
"Jiraiya, come up here and give it a try."
Tsunade called out to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya stretched his neck, looking somewhat bewildered.
"So fast?"
"I don't need to lie in a hospital bed and have some kind of blood type test done?"
He felt that this seemed a bit hasty.
However, after he finished speaking, Tsunade frowned.
"Didn't you yourself say you'd just match directly, all about efficiency?"
According to her original plan, she would definitely need to undergo blood type matching and minor adjustments to the wound.
However, because Jiraiya had previously instructed her to act quickly and prioritize efficiency, she simplified all the steps.
With the help of Tono Katazuke, the two of them spent only one day reconstructing Hashirama Cells into the shape of a human hand.
Of course, research on Hashirama Cells has actually been going on for far more than just one day.
Because of the acceleration, this arm is not actually perfect; the outer surface is whitish.
In a normal medical transplant, the skin should be as consistent as possible with the patient's.
The most common way to maintain consistency is to take a piece of skin from the patient's body, transplant it, and culture it.
However, this process is much longer, often taking years.
"I was right..." Jiraiya scratched his head sheepishly, "Then there should be some anesthetic, right?"
Haha, no.
After Tsunade finished laughing, she looked at Jiraiya and said...
Suddenly, Jiraiya felt dizzy and disoriented.
No, they won't even give you anesthesia?
Are you going to stitch me up right there in my wound? Do you want me to die?!
He experienced phantom limb pain just imagining the scene of stitches being put into his shoulder.
"Come here, what's there for a grown man to be in pain about?"
Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya and pulled him to her side.
He casually thrust his left arm, made of Hashirama Cells, into the gap in Jiraiya's shoulder.
"No, they won't even disinfect!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened.
"Don't I, a medical Ninja, know more than you? Just close your eyes and feel it!"
"Tsunade said impatiently."
She was naturally aware of the disinfection issue, but those green nutrient solutions were already the best disinfection method available.
Moreover, she now wants to check if the arms are too thick, too long, or too short to match Jiraiya's.
This is the most important thing.
Because Hashirama Cells naturally possess extremely strong healing abilities.
If she doesn't take advantage of this short time to quickly make small-scale corrections, it's very likely that Jiraiya will later have a problem where his left arm is noticeably longer or shorter than his right arm.
It's unrealistic to make adjustments once everything is fully integrated.
As for issues like infection due to lack of disinfection, those will not occur.
After making some minor adjustments, Tsunade used Chakra to condense into a bubble and repeatedly absorbed impurities from the spot where Jiraiya's left arm was reattached.
"Don't move around, it might hurt a little."
The moment Jiraiya watched the bubble enter his body, a stinging sensation spread from the point of entry.
Suddenly, his facial expression turned ferocious.
"This isn't just a little pain, it's a ton of pain!"
The pain in his body made him instinctively want to pull his arm away, but he resisted.
Don't ask, the answer is simply that unwavering will Jiraiya.
The main reason was that he dared not move his arm anymore, thinking that it was his newborn arm.
Of course, apart from the left arm and left shoulder that were as steady as a mountain, the rest of his body was already wildly thrashing around in all four directions.
"Is it ready yet?"
Jiraiya asked, his voice trembling.
Every time the Chakra bubble in Tsunade moved a little further into his body, his pain intensified.
It's like a doctor finishing surgery and finding that the scissors fell inside the patient's internal organs, so they turn on a flashlight and start searching for the missing scissors inside the patient's internal organs.
Tsunade's movements are remarkably similar.
The bubble in her hand was like a sophisticated medical instrument; no matter how it was moved, it wouldn't harm Jiraiya's internal organs, but it would cause him great pain during the search.
"Alright."
Finally, after an Jiraiya amount of time, Tsunade slowly removed the transparent bubble from Jiraiya's body.
After removal, only a small amount of dirt was found inside the transparent bubble.
"This is the filth inside your body."
Tsunade spoke, she threw the bubble in her hand into a basin of water.
"Katasuke, come and lend a hand."
Upon returning, Tsunade greeted Tono Katazuke.
Tono Katazuke nodded and hurriedly ran over.
"Hold Jiraiya's hand firmly, I need to stitch him up."
Tsunade had somehow acquired needles of various sizes that Shizune usually wore on her inner thigh.
Tsunade would always have Shizune observe and learn from her when it came to suturing and other medical-related tasks.
However, after becoming Hokage, Tsunade wanted to conduct her own research on Hashirama Cells, so she had to have Shizune cover for her.
After all, the Hokage's daily workload is also quite complex, and Tsunade has a syndrome of getting sleepy when handling affairs, so the accumulated workload is even more astonishing.
At this moment, Shizune was still in the Hokage's Office, frantically taking over for Tsunade and handling various tasks.
"Jiraiya, you'll have to be more patient this time."
Tsunade spoke, she first gave Jiraiya an injection of Anesthetic Needle.
It's impossible to say there was no pain; it's just that the previous painful phase was used to allow Jiraiya.
This is because the later stages will be even more painful.
Even with anesthesia, Tsunade wasn't sure Jiraiya could withstand it.
"Don't worry, I am one of the Legendary Sannin, Lord Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya made a reassuring expression.
Tono Katazuke also shone brightly.
"Lord Jiraiya is truly amazing!"
When the Anesthetic Needle began to take effect, Tsunade no longer hesitated.
Her expression was solemn, and she held a needle in her hand.
"I'm about to begin, Katasuke."
"Okay, I'm ready!"
Tono Katazuke immediately hugged Jiraiya tightly Jiraiya both hands.
Shouldn't you be asking me if I'm ready?
Jiraiya was wondering what was going on, Tsunade's suture needles had already swiftly and skillfully stitched dozens of stitches into the joint on his arm!
"Ouch! This hurts!"
In an instant, he understood why he had to have Tono Katazuke prepare, instead of him.
The pain was so intense that his body instinctively tried to back away and break free!
Fortunately, Tono Katazuke had all his strength on him, and Tsunade's Super Strength allowed her to control Jiraiya with one hand, preventing him from breaking free.
In less than ten minutes, the arm formed from Hashirama Cells had perfectly overlapped with Jiraiya's.
Tsunade's stitching technique and speed were the most efficient she had ever achieved.
She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. "Finally done. Jiraiya, try using your left arm to see if it works normally."
Upon hearing that his arm was healed, Jiraiya, who had been drooling, immediately calmed down.
"Okay, let me give it a try!"
