"..."
Upon hearing Araki's words, the ninjas from Uzushiogakure all turned their attention to him, and each of them let out a slightly sarcastic sigh.
"If you still want to save the village chief, take me with you."
Araki's expression didn't change because of these people's points; his tone simply became colder. After all, the skeptical attitude they displayed made him somewhat dissatisfied, but there was nothing particularly unusual about it. In essence, these people didn't know what kind of strength he possessed, so raising a reasonable question wasn't hard to understand.
That's why Araki didn't hold it against them, but his request was very clear: he wanted to see the village chief, because he believed he could save him.
"..."
A moment of silence fell over the scene, because none of them particularly trusted Araki, but given the village chief's current condition, none of the medical-nin from Uzushiogakure would be able to help.
What exactly do you want?
The gatekeeper ninja who brought Araki over had a very solemn expression and stared intently at Araki. Because he was closest to Araki, his questioning attracted the attention of many people, since this was the same thing everyone was concerned about.
"I can save the village chief," Araki said in a deep voice.
"Just believe him!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Kushina hadn't spoken until now, suddenly spoke!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kushina showed no stage fright, but instead stood tall and proud, meeting their gazes head-on.
Some of the Uzushiogakure present did not recognize Kushina, but they could identify her as a Uzushiogakure by her red hair.
"His name is Araki, a medical-nin from Konoha. His teacher is Lady Tsunade. I think since the village chief is seriously injured, let him give it a try. Maybe he'll have a chance." Kushina immediately said, "Even if it doesn't work out in the end, that's the worst that can happen. You don't want the village chief to just wait to die, do you?"
Kushina spoke, the room fell into complete silence, and everyone was in a state of torment.
Especially Kushina's last words, which were like a sharp blade, pierced their hearts.
Of course, nobody wanted the village chief to die like this!
But there was nothing they could do!
Should we really trust such a stranger?
But...
According to Kushina, this person's teacher was Tsunade from Konoha.
That might be more plausible.
For a moment, the few ninjas from Uzushiogakure present fell silent, their minds preoccupied with weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
What are you waiting for?!
Kushina's voice rang out again, forcefully pulling everyone from their other thoughts and drawing their attention back to the situation.
"By saying nothing now, you're committing the greatest inaction. If you still care about the village chief, then let Araki give it a try. Do you have any other ideas?"
Kushina's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking the most vulnerable part of these people's hearts.
Thinking of this, they felt a surge of warmth in their hearts and stopped trying to stop them.
"I see."
The Uzumaki Clan ninja who had been speaking nodded immediately, his eyes focusing on Araki. The sharpness in his eyes softened into a pleading tone as he said, "Please!"
"Um."
Araki nodded slightly, then walked directly towards the village chief's direction. The buildings there had been burned to ashes, and in the distance, some medical-nin could be seen rescuing the people inside.
The village chief's location was very easy to spot because the largest number of medical-nin were gathered there. However, although these medical-nin were there, each of them wore an indescribable look of helplessness on their faces, because their medical skills were far from being able to rival the heavens and earth.
Judging from the current situation, they all believe that the village chief cannot hold on for another half hour.
"Let me see!"
Just then, Araki's voice rang out, clearly reaching every medical-nin.
Immediately afterwards.
Araki pushed his way out of the crowd and went straight to where the village chief was located.
The medical-nin present had a very strange feeling: when Araki came over, it was as if there was an invisible wall of energy around him, pushing everyone away and making it impossible to stop him.
These scenes were also witnessed by the ninjas from Uzushiogakure who followed, further convincing them that Araki was not a simple individual but a master.
There might be a chance!
Those who initially had no expectations now felt a sense of anticipation.
To some extent, they have already accepted the strength that Araki has shown, so perhaps his Medical Ninjutsu is not simple either; maybe this is a cause-and-effect relationship.
In an instant.
Whether it was the medical-nin gathered here or the other ninjas who had come with them, all eyes were focused on Araki.
All I saw was...
Araki reached out and looked directly at the village chief's chest, where a pool of blood and flesh lay, and his palm was always shrouded in a hazy green aura, radiating a strong life force.

Konoha: Nobody knew I could use Wood Release! Chapter 31: Breaking the Cycle - The Finale
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.
The majority of those observing the scene were medical-nin from the Uzumaki Clan, some of whom were quite powerful and had mastered the Mystical Palm Technique.
They recognized at a glance that Araki was using the Mystical Palm Technique, and it was a Chakra Mystical Palm Technique. They could clearly feel the rich life energy from a distance.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this scene, everyone present gasped in shock and gradually began to believe what Araki had said.
Kushina saw everyone's reactions and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She was very pleased to see Araki perform like this.
The feeling was indescribable, like gold she had discovered that had gone unnoticed until now, finally beginning to shine.
Araki paid no attention to what the people around him thought, focusing all his attention on the old man in front of him.
The old man had white hair and beard, and looked to be over sixty years old. He no longer had the red hair characteristic of the Uzumaki Clan. He was thin, especially his face, which was so thin that it looked like skin and bones. His slightly open eyes shone with a faint light, and this light was gradually dimming.
This is not good!
Araki stared at the old village chief's ripped-open abdomen, some organs exposed to the air, blood flowing uncontrollably, already causing a potentially fatal open wound.
The reason this person is still alive is largely due to the physique of the Uzumaki Clan. However, even though the Uzumaki Clan has a strong vitality, the old village chief is old, and his physical indicators are not as good as before.
No wonder these medical-nin were helpless!
Even he found it extremely difficult.
"Don't let anyone bother me."
Araki stared at the old village chief's wound and spoke in an unquestionable tone. He wasn't speaking to any particular person, but to all the Uzumaki Clan ninjas present. At this point, healing the old village chief would require an immense amount of effort; the slightest mistake could ruin everything.
"Yes!"
The ninjas hesitated for a moment, but considering the strength Araki had displayed, at least in the area of Medical Ninjutsu, they couldn't help but respond and went into a state of alert.
At the same time, an unrealistic fantasy arose in their hearts: they wondered if there was still any hope for the old village chief.
After giving instructions to the others, Araki focused all his attention on the old village chief. He didn't even know why he was saving this man, nor did he recognize him at all, but he had this feeling in his heart.
"Call..."
Araki suddenly took a deep breath and immediately stretched out both hands, which contained a rich green Chakra. A powerful vitality permeated the old village chief's body. He suddenly used the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to grasp the old village chief's ruptured liver directly in his hands. Then, he used the Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth Strength of a Hundred Technique to control the green Chakra to surge into the old village chief's body.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In an instant, green light emanated from the old village chief's body, and powerful life energy swelled up within him, continuously repairing his damaged organs.
This scene, witnessed by everyone present, immediately shocked them even more; almost everyone stared wide-eyed at this astonishing sight.
This scene continued for nearly half an hour.
Large beads of sweat kept sliding down Araki's forehead. Even with his seemingly inexhaustible supply of green Chakra, this treatment still made him feel extremely strained.
boom!
Suddenly, at that moment, Araki's head trembled slightly, and he lost control of his entire body, as if he had fallen into a strange state of mind.
At the same time, the old village chief, who had been being treated by Araki, opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a strong green light, and his eyes met Araki's.
boom!
Araki's body trembled again, and everything around him changed at that moment.
This is a strange space, pitch black, yet seemingly not lacking in light, allowing everything here to be clearly presented to Araki. On the ground is a pool of lush green water, rippling gently.
What's going on?
A big question mark popped into Araki's mind. The restlessness in his cells had completely disappeared, and he had returned to his original state.
Under these circumstances, Araki remained extremely calm, without any sense of being drawn in by his soul, and he did not believe that the Uzumaki Clan would encounter any problems.
What's going on?
Araki frowned deeply. He had a vague feeling that this whole thing was just a ploy to lure him in, and that the changes in the Uzumaki Clan were a manifestation of something else entirely.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of Araki.
This was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in white clothes with black Tomoe symbols on his collar. He sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, with black spheres beneath him.
Araki's heart skipped a beat when he saw the old man, because he had seen him in the Naruto anime. He just didn't expect to see such a thing in this kind of situation. Then, he looked closely and found that the old man's skin was pale, he had two horns on his forehead, his eyes were the ring-shaped Rinnegan, and there was a red circle between his eyebrows.
"Hiss..."
Araki silently gasped inwardly. Of course, he recognized the old man; he was none other than Hagoromo Otsutsuki Sage of Six Paths from Naruto.
Why?
How could I possibly encounter the Sage of Six Paths in a place like this?
What exactly happened?
