Genjutsu: Self-Healing.
Tobitake Tonbo gave Hagoromo Ken medicine, then used Genjutsu to deceive his body and make it begin healing itself.
He tossed aside the bloodstained senbon in his hand.
"Mr. Hagoromo Ken, it seems something happened to your clan!"
Hagoromo Ken felt the injury in his leg beginning to improve, and his expression darkened at those words.
"My clan miscalculated. We should have asked you to help deal with the enemy."
Regret showed on his face.
But this was not the time to discuss that.
Hagoromo Ken continued, "Sir, the mission has changed. Please lead your team and take my clan's ten children away, or they may be hunted down by the enemy."
He knew that the most urgent matter was protecting the remaining younger generation.

And this time, there was clearly more than one or two enemy Jōnin.
It was definitely S-rank.
Hagoromo Ken choked up, but he still displayed a merchant's decisiveness. "No problem. Raise the mission to S-rank and double the reward. Please make sure to protect us.
"Don't worry. My clan has arrangements for unexpected situations. You will not be shorted on the mission reward."
"Deal. I also hope Mr. Hagoromo Ken will not be unable to pay."
Tobitake Tonbo agreed with a smile.

He could come whenever he wanted then.
Hagoromo Ken sighed in relief. He had feared Tobitake Tonbo would not dare accept, or would not believe
