Even as someone who was as much of an outsider as one could be, Haori could tell just how serious Yashamaru's injuries were. If there had been a powerful medical ninja there, they could probably have saved her. But unfortunately, there wasn't one, so it was up to Haori.
And he needed to act immediately.
So, Haori used his clone to stay vigilant, while his real body immediately began to perform emergency treatment on Yashamaru.
While it was still fresh.
He first pressed his finger against her carotid artery. As expected, he didn't detect any pulse.
"Her heart has stopped beating…"
After all, theoretically speaking, Yashamaru was already dead.
One kunai could hardly kill a Jōnin, but N kunai could. That's the legendary quantitative change leading to qualitative change… The blood loss alone was enough to kill a Jōnin.
"Fortunately, there wasn't an attack that directly pierced her heart."
At the moment, Yashamaru was lying on her back, and her injuries were almost all on her back. This was convenient for Haori to examine and assess. If there had been an attack that had gone through her heart, he wouldn't have bothered. He would have just sealed her body and left.
"Then…"
Haori clenched his fist, making a crisp cracking sound. He was ready to use his treatment method… let's call it treatment.
The current situation was perfect for Haori to use his "medical" skills. If he were to experiment on a healthy person, that would be too disrespectful to them. And if he were to treat someone who was on the verge of death, he might accidentally kill them when they didn't need to die. So, this situation, where Yashamaru had just died and could still be saved, was perfect for him.
If he saved her, everyone would be happy. If he couldn't save her, it wouldn't be his fault.
"To save a ninja, you need to follow these steps…"
"First, you have to stop the bleeding."
There was one situation that didn't need to be explained and that everyone could understand: Haori actually didn't know any medical ninjutsu. Although he had some medical knowledge, that knowledge was useless in Yashamaru's situation.
So, his "saving people" method was rough, very rough.
His right hand was still in that two-fingered position, but electric arcs began to flash at his fingertips. But he wasn't going to electrocute anyone yet. Instead, he directly converted the electrical energy into heat.
As I said, the first step was to stop the bleeding.
So, he used both hands and his "hemostasis" treatment was incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless.
He pulled out a kunai with his left hand, and with his right hand, he hovered above the wound, two or three centimeters away, before she started bleeding. Then, he directly cauterized the fresh wound.
… No one could admit that this was a medical treatment method. It could only be attributed to the unreliable plots he had learned from certain works.
Haori followed the same procedure, as smooth as flowing water.
It was a good thing that Yashamaru had passed out. Otherwise, she would have died several times during this treatment process.
Haori wasn't unaware that extensive burns could be fatal. But since this person was already dead, what did it matter? Besides, were ninjas ordinary people?
There were ninjas who had survived 100% burns.
Within three minutes, he had cauterized all of Yashamaru's wounds, like burning a cigarette.
Some of Haori's knowledge told him that the limit for cardiac arrest was 4 minutes. But he wasn't sure if this applied to ninjas. After all, it was hard to say whether ninjas and humans were the same species.
"Whoa…"
After he was done, when he saw the shapes of the burns, Haori was surprised.
Five circles and four bars. Let's put it this way, if it were in another world, this shape would be like carving the four characters. (Loyal to the Emperor and Dedicated to the Country). He could directly join the World Government.
Then, he flipped Yashamaru over so she was lying on her back.
"Next, we'll deal with the poison…"
Haori was just working according to his own order. You should give her a heart shock first. What poison are you trying to detoxify? Can you even do that? Does it even make sense?
At this time, his clone had finished searching for the enemy, but hadn't found anything obvious that could be used to detoxify. So, Haori could only use his own antidote.
He pried open her mouth, then used two fingers to pinch a few pills and insert them deep into her throat… To be strict, you don't need a detailed description to know that this was a very seductive action, and it easily reminded people of a friend named Araragi Koyomi and his sister's play.
But at this moment, Haori had dedicated himself completely to the god of medicine – although this god would never admit to having such a disciple.
A slight electric current from his fingertips stimulated the muscles in her throat, using muscular contractions and spasms to complete the swallowing action. He used this high-end method to avoid certain actions that would be considered indecent.
After doing this, he reached out with his right hand towards her left chest, then stopped instantly… This was still not good. It was also indecent. So, he changed to a "V" shape with his hands.
"I remember… the energy that can be instantly transmitted through the heart can't exceed 600 joules, right? For ninjas, it's okay to double or triple that, right?"
Electrocuting people, Haori was a professional. Whether it was directly carbonizing a person or doing this kind of micro-operation, it wasn't a problem.
He placed two fingers directly above her heart and began to perform cardiac defibrillation.
After he was done, Haori felt like he could go work in the emergency room at Konoha Hospital. Because her heartbeat really recovered.
"And… uh, spontaneous breathing…"
Just as Haori was considering whether to bravely face every encounter, he didn't need to worry anymore. Yashamaru had started to cough.
Her breathing had recovered.
"Damn, she's still alive?!"
Yes, Haori was surprised himself. He was so surprised that he swore. In fact, he himself doubted whether this whole process was actually saving people or abusing corpses…
You have to admire the resilience of ninjas. Sometimes they are as fragile as deep-fried dough sticks, and sometimes they are as tenacious as cockroaches.
The moment she opened her eyes again, Yashamaru did what a ninja should do. As if she hadn't noticed her injuries, she instinctively reached for a kunai beside her.
But her action was too slow. Haori mercilessly stepped on her hand.
"Sunagakure's Yashamaru, I'm sorry, but I'm here to inform you that you've been captured by Konoha."
His tone was cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Haori had saved Yashamaru. This wasn't an act of kindness, nor was it about developing any feelings for her.
For Yashamaru, it would have been better to die here than to fall into Konoha's hands.
Because Konoha was Sunagakure's ally, so they would send her back to Sunagakure Village? Are you kidding? How could such a good thing happen?
Haori would take Yashamaru back to Konoha. Her fate… if she fell into the hands of the Anbu, it would definitely be miserable.
In addition, she might also fall into the hands of Root…
So, if she had a choice, she should choose the miserable Anbu.
