Rinto's footsteps stopped in place, his eyes crossed the stretcher group at the entrance of the hospital, and was firmly locked on the dozen or so wounded in the corner.

The surrounding medical ninjas held their breath for a moment, and even Tsunade walked over quickly, with unconcealable fatigue and weakness on their faces. "These are the most difficult wounded, and we are completely helpless."

She pointed at a young Chunin in the front row who was in a deep coma, and spoke in a low voice, "This child belongs to Police Force. When Shinra Tensei broke out, he was within the coverage of the shock wave and did not suffer too serious physical trauma. However, he never woke up after the shock wave. We have checked that his body functions are intact, Chakra The E cycle has not completely collapsed, but the consciousness has completely dissipated, and the soul and body seem to be disconnected. Mr. Inoichi Yamanaka tried to use Yamanaka Clan's secret technique to detect it, and said that most of his soul has been shaken away from the body, leaving only a weak connection. If this continues, it will not take a long time, and the soul will completely dissipate and can never be saved."

Shizune next to him also added, "There are still a few who were hit by Pain's Genjutsu or Chakra's rampage and injured their mental cores. Their mental power has been half broken. Even in the end, The basic Chakra cannot be condensed, and consciousness comes and goes. Conventional spiritual nourishment Ninjutsu is completely useless, but will aggravate the disintegration of the spiritual core. We can only watch as their breath becomes weaker and weaker, and nothing can be done."

Shinobi World's medical system has always centered on body repair and Chakra conditioning. Even the top medical ninjas are mostly helpless against damage at the mental level, let alone the illusory soul level. Yamanaka Clan's secret technique can only read memories, transfer consciousness, and at most do some superficial mental interference, but cannot touch the anchoring core of the soul and the body at all; even if Strength of a Hundred Technique of Tsunade can achieve the ultimate regeneration of the body, it cannot touch the soul at all.

For Konoha's medical system, this kind of extreme damage to the soul and spirit is no different from a direct death sentence. They can't even accurately detect the extent of the damage, let alone repair it.

But in the eyes of Tsunade and the medical ninjas, these cases are undoubtedly fatal, but in the eyes of Rinto, they are research materials that are a hundred times more precious than pulverizing internal organs.

His previous research on mental power only stayed at the application level of Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu backlash defense and Yin Release Chakra. His understanding of the soul only came from Human Path soul pumping. The sensory data obtained and the scattered records in a few documents. Shinobi World's research on the soul is almost blank. No one can explain clearly what the soul is and what the binding mechanism between the soul and the body is, let alone repair the extreme damage such as soul shock.

The dozen cases in front of him covered the full gradient of damage from loosening of soul anchors and partial shock to the collapse of the spiritual core and the complete collapse of consciousness. They were unique living samples that he could never simulate or obtain in the laboratory. More importantly, he knew better than anyone else that the death of these wounded people was caused by the soul layer. Even if Nagato activates Rinne Rebirth later, it is impossible to recall them from Pure Land - their souls will not go to Pure Land at all, and will only completely dissipate between heaven and earth in a few hours.

If he misses it, he may never get such complete first-hand research data on soul damage.

"Bring them all in, sort them by the degree of consciousness dissipation, clear the place, and don't make a sound." Rinto's tone was filled with a trace of undisguised eagerness. It was not to save people, but because he was afraid that these samples would not be able to hold on and would completely dissipate before he could get the complete data.

"Yes!" The ninja next to him immediately responded, carefully carrying the stretcher, and carried a dozen wounded people into the yard one by one, and lined them up neatly next to the formation. Even the movement of putting down the stretcher was extremely gentle, for fear of disturbing the already weak soul connection.

Rinto raised his hand and waved, and the array disk originally used for body detection was instantly extinguished, and a new set of formation patterns glowing with light blue light relit on the ground. This set of array disks was designed by him and Yin Release Chakra in order to study mental power. It is specially used to capture mental fluctuations and soul aura. Its accuracy is several orders of magnitude higher than the perception secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan. It can accurately capture the anchoring state of the soul and body, the integrity of the spiritual core, and even the weak fluctuations of consciousness fragments.

The moment the array disk was activated, more than a dozen light blue beams fell, covering each wounded person. A dense array of parameters instantly refreshed on the light screen, from the anchoring synchronization rate of the soul and the body, the integrity of the soul fragments, the collapse ratio of the spiritual core, to the residual viability of Yin Release Chakra, and the intensity of consciousness fluctuations. All data were accurately quantified and clearly presented in front of everyone.

The medical ninjas gathered around were dumbfounded. They could not even touch the edge of soul damage. Rinto could actually dismantle such an ethereal thing into numbers accurate to two decimal places. This completely exceeded the boundaries of their understanding of Ninjutsu and medical treatment.

Tsunade looked at the parameters on the light screen, and her pupils shrank slightly. She had lived for decades and had seen countless difficult and complicated diseases, but she had never thought that even something like the soul could be accurately quantified and accurately detected. She finally understood why Rinto could do so many things that she couldn't do - from the root, he understood the rules of this world better than anyone else, whether it was Chakra, the body, or the soul.

Rinto completely ignored the shock of the people around him. His eyes were firmly locked on the light screen, and the charcoal pen in his hand was writing quickly on the record board. From time to time, he leaned down, and his fingertips condensed a very thin, non-aggressive sense of perception Chakra. He gently brushed the forehead of the wounded, capturing the subtler soul fluctuations, and whispered terms that others could not understand.

"The first case, Shinra Tensei shock wave caused injuries, the soul-body anchoring synchronization rate was 12%, the main anchor points were broken in 7 places, 37% of the soul body was separated from the physical body, and the fluctuation of consciousness was almost zero, which is a severe soul shock."

"The second case, Genjutsu backfired and superimposed Chakra went berserk, the mental core collapsed by 68%, Yin Release Chakra's origin was damaged, and the mental power was severely fragmented, accompanied by a slight loosening of the anchor."

"The third case is a compound injury. The shock wave broke most of the anchor points. At the same time, the spiritual core was damaged. The soul body showed signs of fragmentation. The survival window did not exceed 2 hours."

He moved very quickly. In just ten minutes, he completed the full-dimensional inspection of more than a dozen wounded people. He clearly dismantled the injury type, severity, and underlying mechanism of each case, and even accurately predicted the time it would take for each wounded person's soul to completely dissipate.

During the inspection process, he also thoroughly understood the core logic of these two types of extreme injuries.

The soul shock caused by Shinra Tensei is essentially an ultra-high-pressure shock wave. It not only shatters the meridians and cells at the physical level, but also transmits it to the soul body through the binding link between the body and the soul, breaking the anchor between the soul and the body. Node. Just like the cable between the ship and the dock was broken, the ship (soul) broke away from the dock (body), drifted further and further away, and eventually completely dissipated. For the regular Medical Ninjutsu, the cable cannot be found anywhere, let alone reconnected.

Most cases of semi-mental collapse are caused by the impact of Genjutsu and the rampage of Chakra. Spiritual energy is the origin of Yin Release and an important link between the soul and the body. The destruction of the spiritual core is equivalent to the "rudder" of the soul being broken. It will not only lead to the collapse of consciousness, but also further aggravate the disconnection between the soul and the body, and eventually lead to the dissolution of the soul.

What interests him even more is that through high-precision detection, he discovered the binding rules between the soul and the body - the soul is not an ethereal thing, it has a fixed fluctuation frequency, and is deeply bound to the source of chakra of the human body and the vitality of cells, and is the anchor point between the two. , is distributed on the core nodes of the human body's chakra circulation, and is deeply related to the meridian system and nervous system. The shock wave of Shinra Tianzheng breaks the nodes of the chakra circulation, and incidentally breaks the anchor point of the soul, causing this kind of seemingly harmless but actually fatal damage.

This discovery directly overturned Shinobi World's metaphysical understanding of the soul that had been circulating for thousands of years, and brought this nihilistic thing like the soul to a level that can be quantified, analyzed, and even intervened.

Rinto's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he kept holding the charcoal pen in his hand, recording all the detected data and the disassembled underlying mechanism. These data directly helped him open the door to the study of soul rules, which is a deeper and more original field than Chakra rules and space rules.

After recording all the basic data, his eyes fell on the most critically injured patient - the young Chunin whom Tsunade mentioned first. The synchronization rate between the soul and the body was only 12%, the main anchor point was almost completely broken, most of the soul body had separated from the body, and the fluctuations in consciousness were so weak that they were almost undetectable. According to his calculations, in one hour at most, his soul would completely separate from the body and dissipate.

This is the most extreme sample and the most valuable sample for research. Once the soul of this case can be re-anchored back to the body, it means that he has completely mastered the binding rules between soul and body and can solve all soul-shock damage.

"Everyone else, please retreat outside the yard, leaving Shizune alone to take action." Rinto raised his eyes, with a cold tone and an unquestionable order, "Everyone should be quiet, don't interfere with the detection data, and don't touch anything."

Tsunade immediately led the others back to the courtyard gate, even breathing calmly. They looked nervously at the movement in the courtyard across the courtyard gate, and no one dared to say a word. They all knew that what Rinto would do next was something that Shinobi World had never done before - repair the soul that had been shaken away.

In the yard, Rinto put down the record board, walked to the dying Chunin, squatted down, and condensed light blue Chakra on his fingertips again. This time, his Chakra incorporates the Yin Release anchoring configuration, as well as its extremely mild perception frequency band specially designed for soul fluctuations, which will not cause any additional damage to the already fragile soul body.

His fingertips hung above the wounded man's forehead, Chakra slowly penetrated in, and accurately touched the weak soul body that was about to leave the body. He could clearly "see" that the soul body was covered with traces of broken anchor points. The link that was originally bound to the body was almost completely broken, leaving only a few threads as thin as a gossamer to maintain the final vitality.

What's even more troublesome is that the soul body that has broken away from the physical body has begun to show signs of fragmentation. The fragments of consciousness on the edge are dissipating little by little. Even if it is forcibly pulled back to the physical body now, the broken anchor point cannot be connected, and it will eventually break away again.

Rinto's fingertips did not move, and his mind had already begun to quickly deduce the repair plan. The conventional idea is to forcibly stuff the soul body back into the body, but this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. If the anchor point is not repaired, the soul will still break away again, and even more serious soul fragmentation will occur due to forceful pulling.

What he has to do is not to pull forcefully, but to first stabilize the soul body that is about to dissipate, then repair the broken anchor point, and finally re-anchor the soul back to the body to establish a stable and irreversible binding relationship. Moreover, the entire process must not deplete the wounded person's own mental power and soul origin - the wounded person's soul is already on the verge of collapse, and even a small amount of loss may directly lead to complete dissipation.

This is an area that Shinobi World has never set foot in. He has no experience to refer to and no literature to draw from. He can only rely on himself to build a repair system from scratch based on the underlying rules he just detected.

Rinto closed his eyes and quickly went through all the data just recorded in his mind, including the soul's fluctuation frequency, the structure of the anchor point, and the binding mechanism to the body Chakra. All the information was quickly integrated and deduced in his mind, and a complete soul anchoring plan was quickly formed in his mind.

He opened his eyes without any hesitation. He raised his hand and grabbed the sterile operating table next to him. The special sealing charm and Chakra conduction needle that had been prepared in advance automatically flew into his hand.

"Shizune, be optimistic about the soul synchronization rate and consciousness fluctuation values on the light screen. If any parameter fluctuates by more than 0.5%, tell me immediately." Rinto's voice was very calm, but with unquestionable precision, and the movements in his hands were ready.

"Yes! I will keep an eye on it!" Shizune immediately tensed up and stared at the beating values on the light screen, her palms sweating. She knew very well that what Rinto was going to do next was an unprecedented attempt. Once it failed, the wounded man's soul would dissipate in an instant, and even the last trace of life would be gone.

Rinto's eyes fell back on the wounded person. The Chakra needle held between his fingertips was precisely aimed at the core node of the wounded person's Chakra cycle, which is the location where the soul anchor point is broken.

His first shot is about to fall.
