The wound was distinctly purplish red, and a closer look revealed patches that had turned black.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted sharply.
The kunai was poisoned!
He considered it for a moment, then said:
"After your friend was injured, someone must have tried to remove the poison.
"But they didn't remove it completely. The remaining poison caused the wound to worsen!"
The ninja beside the bed paled and said urgently:
"Lord Lin Mu, please, you have to save my friend!"
Lin Mu nodded slightly without answering.
He extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand, forming a deep blue chakra scalpel once more.
His gaze fixed on the injured man's exposed flesh. Once he located the right spot, he made a cut.

He reflected on his progress. After all, he had been studying medical ninjutsu for less than a month.
An expert performing this surgery could probably seal the blood vessels and prevent any bleeding the instant the scalpel passed through.

A surge of wood release chakra poured out, life energy gathering and spreading.
The wound on the ninja's leg healed rapidly before their eyes.
