"I feel like this surgery is a done deal!"
"I think so too. For a child this age to already have Delicate Illness Extraction Technique makes me, a senior practitioner, feel incredibly ashamed!"
"The important thing is that he already won by daring to take that step!"
This child has a limitless future!
"This is the future of our Konoha medical-nin!"
"No wonder Lady Tsunade gave him such a high evaluation!"
"..."
The high-ranking officials of Konoha Hospital at the scene were all impressed by Araki's actions, and the way they looked at Huang had changed.
On the other side.
Utatane Koharu's facial features softened further.
Why didn't Tsunade explain this earlier...?
Her eyes were fixed on Araki, never leaving him, those almost emotionless eyes constantly flashing with admiration and satisfaction.
"I haven't seen a young man like this in a long time. I hope he succeeds in the end and doesn't let me down!"
Even she herself was unaware of the change in her heart, from originally wanting to see a medical accident to now wanting to see a medical miracle.
Chapter 46 Famous at Konoha Hospital (Part 2)
The operating room has transparent glass, allowing people to see in from the outside but not from the inside. It is also soundproof, so even if it is very noisy outside, it will not disturb the person performing surgery inside.
Araki was oblivious to the shocked gasps of the crowd outside, completely absorbed in the surgery and ignoring the gazes that kept appearing.
He can't care about any of that now.
He hadn't investigated Might Teacher Duy's condition himself. It was Tsunade-sensei conducted the full-body diagnosis, and he only received a scroll similar to a medical examination report. He devised the entire treatment plan in his mind and personally carried out the treatment process, so he didn't know the specific extent of the illness. It wasn't until he actually used the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to treat him that he truly realized how serious Might Teacher Duy's condition was.
This is no small matter.
There is no room left in the entire gallbladder, completely restricting bile secretion. This is closely related to diet and lifestyle.
certainly.
The most important thing is...
Might Teacher Duy is incredibly resilient!
The Chakra nature of the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique is gentle. After all, it comes into direct contact with organs, so it must be treated in an extremely gentle way. If it is too sharp, it will cause harm instead.
The best way to dissolve gallstones is to dissolve them slowly, little by little, which requires precise control of Chakra and sustained effort.
As time ticked by.
Araki has been performing this action for over half an hour. From the outside, it looks as if he's frozen in time. Only the green light constantly seeping from Might Duy's belly tells everyone that the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique is still ongoing.
Outside the operating room.
Almost everyone present kept their eyes glued to the operating table, and tension was evident in everyone's gaze.
If this scene were placed in another location...
Or perhaps it will be a different group of onlookers.
They might get bored from doing that kind of thing repeatedly.
but.
Everyone here.
They all watched it with great interest.
"That little guy actually lasted so long, that really surprised me!"
Utatane Koharu's exclamation suddenly rang out, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, instantly silencing the whispers that had been circulating outside.
He is, after all, an advisor to Konoha.
When she speaks, others still have to be somewhat considerate; this is the least one can do to show respect to those in power.
only...
Upon hearing Utatane Koharu's exclamation, everyone present exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting the shock in each other's gazes.
" Lady Koharu, I've told you before, my disciple is incredibly skilled. Now you believe me, right?" Tsunade said with a smile, clearly pleased with herself.
On the surface, she seemed to be happy for herself; her disciple had left everyone here in awe, and the teacher's reputation was shining brightly.
However, in reality, Tsunade didn't care about these mundane things. She didn't think about saving face at all. Instead, she felt happy and proud to have such a disciple.
" Tsunade, you didn't say he was that strong!" Utatane Koharu laughed too. The two chatted very gently, as if their previous conflict had never happened.
"I did say that, you just didn't believe me," Tsunade said with a smile.
"I was wrong. I really didn't expect there to be such a talented young man in the village. He is the future of medical-nin in Konoha!" Utatane Koharu exclaimed, readily admitting her mistake. "I just don't know if he has the ability to complete this surgery."
"It's only been half an hour, nothing to him." Tsunade with a smile. As Araki's teacher, she knew all too well Araki's amazing stamina. This level of surgery didn't tire him out as much as Araki usual training.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Utatane Koharu said with great interest. After what had just happened, the way she looked at Araki had changed, her eyes filled with anticipation.
immediately.
The scene fell silent.
The higher-ups at Konoha Hospital originally wanted to express their feelings, but because Lady Koharu and Lady Tsunade had just spoken, no one dared to say anything more, so they simply swallowed their words.
As the two fell silent, the entire environment became quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop; almost everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
In an instant.
Everyone had no choice but to refocus all their attention on Araki.
Another half hour or so passed.
Araki had been in the operating room for over an hour.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he maintained this posture, and the Chakra in his hands showed no signs of diminishing or losing control.
It'll be ready soon!
Araki sensed that Might Duy's gallbladder, under the effect of the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, had almost completely dissolved the gallstones inside. The stones flowed out with the bile, and with the nourishment of the life-giving Chakra, it seemed to be reborn.
"The next step is to treat the inflammation of the pancreas and to repair some kidney function."
Araki discovered that Might Teacher Duy's problems were all related to long-term fatigue, while his other organs, such as his heart, had become exceptionally strong due to years of exercise.
"If I'm not mistaken, in the original timeline, Might Teacher Duy should have had his gallbladder removed around this point in time, which might also be related to his kidney function. This would have made him thin and weak, which is why he managed to allow a few of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Might Teacher Duy escape when he used the Eight Gates Released Formation, since he had already surrounded them at that time."
Araki pondered to himself, based on past historical trends, Might Duy simply couldn't find someone to patiently treat him.
He couldn't find Tsunade-sensei to perform the surgery on him personally, nor could he persuade Utatane Koharu to do the surgery, so he could only undergo the most routine treatment.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense...
Araki had pondered this question countless times before. When Might Duy opened the Gate of Death, he didn't unleash an overwhelmingly powerful attack, but this definitely couldn't be attributed to physical attributes.
After all, the Eight Gates Released Formation has very strict physical requirements for implementation. If one's physical condition does not meet these requirements, then it is impossible to open the Gate of Death. Rock Lee is a prime example of this.
Even until the very end, Rock Lee could only open up to the Sixth Gate, far from being able to do what Might Duy did.
This question has puzzled Huangwu for a long time, because even though both instances involved opening the Eight Gates Released Formation, why is there such a significant difference?
It wasn't until today, during the surgery, that Araki realized just how serious Might Duy's condition was. Considering the power a patient would generate when opening the Eight Gates Released Formation, everything they had was still somewhat manageable.
"Don't worry, Teacher Duy, I will definitely cure you!"
Araki's eyes flashed with intense determination, because the most difficult part was over, and the remaining areas could be treated using the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique.
Immediately afterwards...
Araki continued the treatment.
Time passed slowly, but in reality, it was fast. Before they knew it, almost two hours had passed since Araki entered the operating room.
Outside the operating room.
The expressions on the faces of the various high-ranking officials from Konoha Hospital gathered there changed to varying degrees after witnessing Araki's continued treatment.
The way these people look at Araki has completely changed!
At first, they only regarded Araki as a child, and even after they saw that Araki was quite strong, they still regarded him as Tsunade's disciple.
But even now...
They suddenly developed a sense of awe towards Araki, and now regarded Araki as a true medical-nin.
All previous doubts have been dispelled at this moment.
It is already extremely difficult to create such an ability merely on the surface, let alone to maintain it for nearly two hours.
Right now.
Araki remained in his original state, his left hand using the Subtle Twister Technique inside Might Duy's body, while his right hand used the Mystical Palm Technique Healing Technique to keep the wound near the cut, preventing infection and bleeding.
"This is terrifying!"
"Just how much Chakra does this child have?"
"With such terrifyingly precise Chakra control, coupled with such prolonged Chakra usage, he's simply a monster!"
"Even if I were to perform this surgery, even if I knew the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, I would probably need someone to take my place!"
"I feel that Lady Tsunade came here wanting to replace him, but she didn't get the chance."
"This is absolutely insane!"
"Under such control for such a long time, the consumption increases exponentially, yet he has managed to persist for so long. Every second that passes now will cause an terrifying drain on his Chakra, but look at his face, it doesn't seem to have changed at all, as if there's no problem at all."
"This child is a born medical-nin!"
"That was absolutely terrifying!"
"..."
The high-ranking officials of Konoha Hospital present couldn't hold back any longer. Even with Lady Koharu and Lady Tsunade there, they still couldn't help but express their amazement, because Araki's performance was simply too stunning.
