Mito Uzumaki heard Uchiha Yama say that Uchiha Mikoto had gotten angry and upset Uchiha Lei so badly that he had ended up in the emergency room!
Only then did Mito Uzumaki remember how she had tested Mikoto earlier. She had never expected it to indirectly cause Lei's accident. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and her body fell backward uncontrollably!
Kushina Uzumaki quickly reached out to support Grandma Mito, her expression anxious as she asked with concern:
"Grandma Mito, don't scare me...
Something has already happened to Lei. Please don't let anything happen to you too."
Mito Uzumaki steadied herself and raised a hand to rub Kushina Uzumaki's head. Tears spilled from the corners of her eyes as she apologized softly:
"Kushina... I'm sorry.
It's all Grandma's fault for testing Mikoto and causing all of this!"
"Grandma Mito... what are you saying?
How could this be your fault? Let's hurry to the hospital and see Lei!"
Seeing Kushina Uzumaki's anxious expression, Mito Uzumaki finally remembered Uchiha Lei in the emergency room. She immediately grabbed her shoulder and used the Body Flicker Technique, rushing toward Konoha Hospital!
Once the oppressive pressure around Uchiha Yama was gone, his back was soaked in cold sweat. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and rushed toward the hospital too!
Dan Katō had stood frozen after witnessing the series of events. When he came to his senses, he realized everyone had left and the door to Tsunade's mansion was still wide open. He immediately shouted through the doorway:
"Lady Tsunade..."
Nawaki's shout came from inside~
"My sister isn't home! Why are you shouting in the middle of the night?"
Dan Katō realized Tsunade had gone to the hospital after all. Her standing in his heart immediately rose another level, and he rushed toward the hospital with the Body Flicker Technique!
Nawaki came downstairs from the second floor, his eyes bleary with sleep. Seeing the wide-open front door, he instantly woke up, hurried over to close and lock it, and checked what was missing!
"Someone actually came to steal from my house in the middle of the night!
I'll see who's got that much nerve."
Elsewhere~
In the emergency room on the third floor of Konoha Hospital~
After Tsunade entered the emergency room, her eyes filled with surprise and her mouth opened slightly. Thinking she had seen wrong, she deliberately rubbed her eyes with her fair hands!
Because emergency bed number one held Uchiha Lei.
Emergency bed number two held Uchiha Miko.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Mikoto stood beside her mother with both legs wrapped in bandages, looking sorrowfully at Uchiha Lei in bed number one!
Once Tsunade confirmed she had not seen wrong, she immediately went to the wardrobe beside her, opened it, put on her medical uniform and mask, and walked toward bed number one with some hesitation!
Seeing Uchiha Lei in bed number one brought the scene of her grandmother spanking her to mind, and she rubbed her peach-shaped bottom with her fair hand!
"Lady Tsunade... you're finally here!"
"Tell me this brat's current condition!"
The young attending medical ninja beside her was Ten Nohara, a brown-haired man with half his handsome face exposed, a slender build, and a white medical uniform (an original character, needed for the plot!). He would later be Rin Nohara's father!
"Uchiha Lei's condition is very strange... his heart is beating extremely slowly!
But his constitution is unusual, and it's keeping him alive by sheer force. He's saving himself, but his life is rapidly slipping away!"
Hearing Ten Nohara's report reminded Tsunade of Uchiha Yama's words, and she confirmed that Uchiha Lei was Chiaki's child!
Tsunade immediately walked to bed number one, put the stethoscope in her ears, and held it against Lei's chest with her left hand!
Thump----thump----thump...
"His heart really is beating very slowly. I'll have to use the Mystical Palm Technique to stimulate it!"
Tsunade placed her fair right hand over Uchiha Lei's heart and used the Mystical Palm Technique. Her right hand immediately shone with green chakra!
Tsunade felt that Uchiha Lei's heartbeat seemed to have recovered, and a smile appeared on her fair face!
Just as she was about to remove her hand, a suction force suddenly held her right hand fast. Her own chakra rapidly drained away, flowing into Uchiha Lei's body!
"Brat... don't suck away my chakra!"
No matter how Tsunade pulled her right hand away, even lifting Uchiha Lei off the bed, she could not shake him off!
Helpless, she could only ask Ten Nohara to bring her a stool and sit beside the bed. Her fair, rosy face slowly turned pale as her chakra drained away, and she glared at Lei!
"You annoying brat... do I owe you something?"
Meanwhile, Uchiha Lei's complexion gradually improved from deathly white to pale, and it was still recovering!
Seeing that Tsunade's complexion looked wrong, Ten Nohara asked with concern:
"Lady Tsunade, are you all right?"
"I'm fine... this brat's condition has stabilized!
Go check on Miko. Everyone else, go back and rest!"
Hearing Tsunade's orders, Ten Nohara nodded in agreement. He walked over to Uchiha Miko's bed and observed that she had only fainted from excessive fright!
Ten Nohara explained this to Tsunade, then left the emergency room too!
Outside, Uchiha Yama, Mito Uzumaki, and Kushina Uzumaki heard that Uchiha Miko and Uchiha Lei were all right, and sat quietly waiting on a nearby bench!
Just moments earlier~
The system's voice had sounded in Uchiha Lei's mind~
[Host detected to be unconscious. Automatically plundering character Tsunade's basic Senju sage body. Plunder target: 50% of basic Senju sage body. Countdown: 1 hour...]
One hour later~
[Plundering 50% of Tsunade's basic Senju sage body complete. Automatically fusing basic Senju sage body. Countdown: 1 hour...]
In reality~
Tsunade's face was somewhat pale. She felt the suction disappear, but she also felt unbearably sleepy, and collapsed directly onto Uchiha Lei, falling into a deep sleep!
Thud!
Uchiha Mikoto walked over to bed number one with concern. Seeing that Uchiha Lei's complexion was a little pale but already much better, she felt relieved!
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Tsunade, who was slumped beside him, and placed her fair hand beneath Tsunade's nose to check. She was still breathing; her face was just a little too pale!
Uchiha Mikoto walked to the entrance and opened the emergency room door!
Uchiha Yama, Mito Uzumaki, and Kushina Uzumaki immediately came up to Uchiha Mikoto from outside!
Uchiha Mikoto told them that Tsunade had fallen into a deep sleep!
The four entered the emergency ward together!
Seeing that there were only two beds, Mito Uzumaki instructed Uchiha Yama to take Uchiha Miko and Uchiha Mikoto out of the ward!
Mito Uzumaki lifted Tsunade onto Uchiha Lei's bed. With Kushina Uzumaki's help, she wheeled them out of the emergency ward and into intensive care room number one next door!
One hour later~
Uchiha Lei regained consciousness. After seeing the information on the system panel, he immediately asked the system:
System, directly plundering Tsunade's sage body won't harm her body, will it?
[No, host. It will only cause Tsunade to lose a large amount of chakra. At most, she may fall into a deep sleep!]
That's good...
This misfortune turned out to be a blessing. I obtained a complete basic Senju sage body!
[Reminder to host: even with 56 units of chakra, it is best not to overuse the Rinnegan's power. You won't be lucky enough to happen upon a sage body every time!]
You're right to lecture me, system. From now on, I'll control myself and use no more than two-thirds of my power!
[Plundered Tsunade's basic sage body through the ordinary method for 1 hour. Plundered 1%. Obtained 0.5 units of chakra!] [Special-method plundering of Tsunade's basic Senju sage body detected. Plunder value: 2%. Progress: 1%. Countdown: 1 hour...] [Ordinary-method plundering of Kushina Uzumaki's basic Uzumaki sage body detected. Plunder value: 1%. Countdown: 1 hour...] [Character Mito Uzumaki's basic Uzumaki sage body detected. Plunder?]
System, plunder!
[Two identical basic Uzumaki sage bodies detected. Plundering both through the ordinary method grants double plunder progress and rewards!]
I'm rather looking forward to how much chakra I can plunder tomorrow!
In reality~
Uchiha Lei lay under a blanket on the hospital bed. Tsunade lay deeply asleep beside the blanket on Lei's right, her left arm wrapped around him!
Kushina Uzumaki sat on a white stool to the left of the bed, her fair hand holding Uchiha Lei's right hand. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Though she had wiped away her tears, tear tracks remained on her face as she looked at Lei with concern!
Mito Uzumaki also sat on a white stool to the left of the bed, holding Uchiha Lei's hand. Her condition was similar to Kushina Uzumaki's, and she looked at Lei with a somewhat sorrowful expression!
