Destined Death

This wasn't Jujutsu Kaisen the world, Eiji didn't know what effect it would have, but seeing that the fish in front of him was about to die again, Eiji had no better options and could only give it a try.

Because Eiji's Reverse Cursed Technique was always active, he placed his hand directly on the fish's belly.

Eiji began attempting to transfer Positive Energy into the fish's body using the Mystical Palm Technique Chakra.

Stay calm, channel Positive Energy in, channel...

"Wow, it worked!"

Hearing Kushina's voice beside him, Eiji immediately opened his eyes.

He noticed that the gutted Koi was now showing signs of budding flesh growing from its internal organs!

... How could this actually work?

Could it be that the Chakra rules of the Shinobi World are compatible with the theory of Positive Energy transfer?

Therefore, is Yang Release roughly equivalent to Positive Energy?

Could Yin Release) also be roughly equivalent to Negative Energy?

If that's the case...

Eiji began to intensify his efforts, but unfortunately, the Koi's recovery rate could not keep up with its rate of death.

Soon the Koi stopped breathing and died completely.

It's still not quite there. Eiji predicts it will take a year and a half, and that's considered fast, if you want to learn this skill on your own.

Kushina patted Eiji on the shoulder. "It's okay, we'll have Koi for dinner tonight!"

Looking at the mountain of dead fish piled up on one side of the kitchen, Eiji could only nod helplessly for a moment.

After that, I'll send some to Minato, Fugaku, Hiashi.

Land of Rain Border -- Konoha Camp -- Frontline Medical Tent

Orochimaru frowned as he looked at Nawaki, who was lying on the hospital bed making "hoho" sounds.

The cries of pain emanating from Ninja could be heard from time to time. Even Ninja had long since disregarded life and death would suffer a heavy blow, both physically and mentally, after experiencing the loss of an arm or a leg.

Life is truly fragile.

I can't believe this happened.

Despite Eiji's earnest instructions to keep an eye on Nawaki, and despite being Nawaki's teacher, he still watched helplessly as Nawaki stepped on the Explosive Tag.

Perhaps it was their first time stepping onto the battlefield, and they were completely unaware of the dangers involved, simply relaxing their guard because they thought they could gain merit.

His left leg was completely blown off by the Explosive Tag and was nowhere to be found. His right leg was held together by only a little bit of muscle and connective tissue. His abdomen was blown open, and his intestines were no longer intact. Even more dangerous Organs were damaged.

Thankfully, Eiji had that breastplate, otherwise his heart would have exploded and been burned as well.

Logically, one should be preparing for the worst and not staying here wasting beds and medical resources.

However, he is Tsunade's younger brother, so as long as he has a breath left, he will be continuously resuscitated. But how can he be resuscitated under such circumstances?

Orochimaru was an expert in biology, so he was well aware of Nawaki's current condition: he was on his last breath and could only wait to die.

"Tsunade, you must stay calm. No matter what you see afterward, you must remain calm--"

"Shut up, Jiraiya! Get out of my way!"

The sound of Jiraiya and Tsunade arguing could be heard outside the tent.

Ah, she's back from the battlefield.

It's ridiculous that someone who was full of vigor yesterday has to face the death of a loved one today.

The tent was flung open, revealing Tsunade rushed towards Orochimaru.

Before that, Orochimaru had thoughtfully covered Nawaki with a white cloth, at least to make him look more presentable; this was the last thing he could do as a master.

He was not a good teacher, but Tsunade was not a good older sister either. He failed to protect his disciple, and she failed to protect her younger brother.

The biggest problem was that Nawaki shouldn't have become Ninja; his impulsive and reckless personality was a major flaw.

Even if you don't step on Explosive Tag and die today, you'll still become someone else's victim tomorrow.

Where is Nawaki?

Tsunade stared blankly at Orochimaru's face.

"Can't you tell? As the older sister, you should know very well who's covered under the white sheet next to me."

Orochimaru said in a sinister tone, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

Then he handed the Nawaki that Nawaki had received as a birthday gift yesterday to Tsunade. He had originally wanted to keep it as a memento, but since it belonged to Tsunade, he decided to return it to Tsunade.

Leaving this thing behind would only make him realize how fragile life is.

"Nawaki..." Tsunade approached Nawaki, staring blankly at the person wrapped in white cloth, hesitating whether to uncover it.

"I advise you not to reveal it, you'll have nightmares."

In the end, Tsunade revealed the truth, and as Orochimaru expected, Tsunade lost strength in her legs and collapsed to the ground.

Later, Jiraiya helped Tsunade leave the tent, seemingly to comfort her.

However, Orochimaru thought that with Jiraiya's dull tongue, he probably wouldn't be able to persuade Tsunade.

Eiji- kun, did your eyes foresee this scene long ago?

If that's the case, why don't you stop Nawaki?

Do you feel that stopping them is pointless?

Orochimaru suddenly remembered Eiji's parting words: if he encountered any trouble, he should contact him using the Summoning Technique.

He might have a solution.

"Luckily, I left a small summoning snake for Eiji beforehand, so I can only pray that he can help."

Orochimaru bit his thumb, then knelt on one knee and slammed his hand on the ground.

"Summoning Technique"

With a loud bang, a small, pure white snake emerged, its tongue flicking out. For some reason, it was wearing a pair of round black sunglasses.

Although Eiji doesn't wear this, Orochimaru can imagine what he would look like wearing it, and it seems to suit his personality perfectly.

Regardless of all that, Orochimaru took out a scroll, quickly wrote down the situation on it, and then had the white snake bite it.

With a bang, the white snake turned into smoke and disappeared.

Orochimaru is now starting to feel a little hopeful. Even he, a master of biology, is helpless in this seemingly hopeless situation. If it were you, Eiji, how would you break this deadlock?

Kushina is becoming increasingly clingy.

As a boy, he knew very well that he should control himself at this time.

However, Kushina seemed to be constantly provoking him.

They would sit close together while eating, sometimes even deliberately getting so close that their arms would touch.

When reading, she would come closer, put her arms around his neck, and press her face almost against his to read together, all while acting as if it were perfectly natural.

Actually, these things are quite normal. After all, when watching harem anime in my past life, some tomboyish girlfriends with a carefree personality would do the same thing. It's a very common occurrence.

At the time, Eiji just thought the male protagonist was so lucky, since he could get free perks.
