44: Chapter 44 The "Medical Ninja Art" of Dimensional Reduction(Dear readers, I sincerely apologize.I felt the earlier chapters progressed too quickly, and there was too little interaction between Jiraiya and Naruto.Therefore, I revised the story starting from chapter 38, adding three more chapters featuring interaction.Reading from here onwards will not affect your enjoyment of the later chapters.)
Kabuto's movements were incredibly fast.
That hand, imbued with sharp chakra, wasn't a thorn, but a slash.
He didn't want a simple puncture wound; he wanted to use the most precise technique to sever the target's heart muscle and aorta in an instant, causing irreversible and complete death.
[Ding!Sensing 6500 units of intense killing intent from Kabuto Yakushi!]
[Ding!Sensing 4000 units of [contempt] from Kabuto Yakushi!]
His gentle smile remained unchanged, but beneath that smile lay a venomous, predatory coldness and efficiency.
However, just a fraction of a second before the green chakra light touched Naruto's chest.
Naruto Uzumaki moved.
He did not retreat, did not dodge, and did not even look at the deadly attack.
He simply, casually, even lazily, raised his left forearm and, with an indifferent air, placed it across the fatal trajectory.
Pfft.
A sickening, dull thud, like flesh being sliced open by a sharp blade.
Kabuto Yakushi's chakra scalpel precisely sliced open Naruto's arm.
Blood spurted out, flesh torn open, a horrific, deep wound stretching from his wrist to his elbow.White bone was faintly visible deep within the wound.
"Naruto!"
Tsunade's eyes, which were slightly unfocused due to alcohol and sadness, suddenly narrowed in that instant, and a gasp escaped her lips.
She hadn't expected the boy to be completely unable to react, nor had she expected the bespectacled youth to be so ruthless.
On Kabuto's face, the gentle smile was finally mixed with a hint of undisguised, condescending sarcasm.
They are easily defeated.
This was his final assessment of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Just then, accompanied by a loud crash as a wall collapsed, Jiraiya emerged from the ruins in a disheveled state.He happened to see Naruto's arm covered in blood, and his hair and beard stood on end.
"Dou!You dare!"
However, the anger, worry, and contempt of everyone present were replaced in the next second by an even greater, indescribable emotion.
shock.
On Naruto's bloodied arm, where the wound was deep enough to expose bone, a faint yet pure light suddenly shone from the wound.
The light was not dazzling, but it contained a warm yet domineering life force that was completely different from any other ninjutsu in this world.
No hand seals were used.
There was no treatment process.
The rolled-up flesh, the broken blood vessels, and even the bones slashed by the blade, all began to writhe, proliferate, and regenerate within this shimmering light at a speed that defied the laws of nature and overturned everyone's understanding.
One second.
Just one second.
The terrifying wound that would have rendered any ninja unable to fight completely disappeared.
The newly formed skin was as smooth as ever, without even the slightest scar.
Before the spurting blood even hit the ground, the arm itself was already perfectly intact.
[Ding!You have received 13,000 Extreme [Shocking] items from Kabuto!]
[Ding!You have received 15,000 of Tsunade's ultimate [Incredible] items!]
[Ding!You have received 8000 of Jiraiya's ultimate [Grim] skill!]
The mocking smile on the pharmacist's face froze completely.
For the first time, his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, lost all composure and calculation, leaving only pure, incomprehensible astonishment.
What's this?
What is this?
Medical ninjutsu?Impossible!
Even if Lady Tsunade were to personally perform the Creation Regeneration technique, it would still require a process of hand seals and chakra accumulation.Moreover, the healing effect is achieved by accelerating cell division, so it's impossible for it to be this fast, let alone leave no scars.
This is not treatment.
This is.a reshaping.
Naruto slowly raised the arm that had been bleeding profusely just moments before, but was now as smooth as new.He even moved his fingers with great interest, as if the wound had never existed.
He glanced at Yakushi Kabuto, whose expression was beginning to crack, and chuckled softly.
"Your medical ninjutsu is just patching things up at the cellular level."
His voice was calm, yet it was like an invisible hammer that slammed into the hearts of Kabuto and Tsunade.
[Ding!You have received 11,000 units of ultimate [humiliation] from Kabuto!]
Mending and repairing.
For Kabuto Yakushi, who had perfected medical ninjutsu to the extreme and was even proud of it, this word was a more severe insult than any physical attack.
Naruto ignored his face, which turned ashen in an instant.He turned to look at Tsunade, his blue eyes revealing a calmness that was almost pity.
"My approach is to create at an even higher level."
create.
boom!
These two words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded deep within Tsunade's mind.
As the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu in the ninja world, the woman who understands the meaning of "healing" best in the world, she instantly grasped the soul-chilling meaning behind those words.
All her medical ninjutsu, whether it's the Palm Healing Technique or the Creation Regeneration Technique, are essentially about stimulating, guiding, and accelerating the body's own cells' ability to divide and regenerate.
Like Yakushi Kabuto, they both repair and compensate within the existing framework of the human body's rules.
It means "to mend".
The "creation" that Naruto talks about means.creating something from nothing.
Ignoring the cell division cycle and the law of conservation of energy, it directly uses some higher-dimensional force.A completely new and perfect organization was created out of thin air.
This is not ninjutsu.
This is a miracle.
This was a realm belonging to "gods" that she had never even dared to dream of in her entire life.
[Ding!You have received 18,000 Ultimate [Awakening] from Tsunade!]
[Ding!You have received 16,000 Extreme [Shakedown] from Tsunade!]
Orochimaru's tempting deal suddenly seemed somewhat ridiculous in the face of Naruto's higher-dimensional "creation."
"Playing hard to get!"
Kabuto Yakushi finally recovered from the shock of his worldview collapsing, replaced by an uncontrollable rage.
He cannot accept it!He absolutely cannot accept it!
His pride and joy, his wisdom that surpassed countless others, were utterly belittled in front of this brat.
"I don't believe it!"
He let out a suppressed growl, unleashing all the chakra within his body without reservation.
The green light on his right hand was several times brighter than before, and its sharpness was enough to easily cut through steel.
"Since your arms can create, then I'll rip out your heart and see how you can create then!"
[Ding!You have received 9000 of the ultimate [Crazy] items from Kabuto!]
He launched another attack, his figure blurring into a blur.This time, he held nothing back, concentrating all his power at his fingertips, and with the force of thunder, aimed straight for Naruto's heart.
He wanted to use the bloodiest and most direct method to tear apart this brat's pretentious facade.
However, this time.
Naruto Uzumaki was too lazy to even lift his arm.
He stood there quietly, watching the hand burning with green chakra rapidly enlarge in his field of vision.
It's getting closer.
We're closer now.
Kabuto could even see his own face, distorted by madness, reflected in Naruto's azure eyes.
Now!
Go to hell!
With a determination to tear everything apart, he pressed down hard.
As expected, the sensation of flesh piercing through blood and flesh did not come.
His hand stopped.
Strangely and inexplicably, it stopped in mid-air less than a centimeter away from Naruto's chest clothing.
It was as if there was an invisible, absolutely insurmountable wall there.
Pharmacist Kabuto's mind went blank.
He could feel his chakra scalpel still spinning wildly, and his arm pushing forward with all its might.
But no matter how hard he tried or how much chakra he channeled, he couldn't move forward even a millimeter.
That one-centimeter distance, at that moment, seemed to be stretched into infinity.
He can't reach him.
[Ding!You have received 18,000 units of ultimate [Fear] from Kabuto!]
What's this?
What is this?
Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene.
At the door of the hotel room, all the emotions in Tsunade's beautiful brown eyes—shock, awakening, and wavering—faded away at this moment, leaving only a deeper, purer sense of [confusion].
She looked at the calmly standing boy, and at the young man whose attack was strangely frozen in mid-air.
All the common sense she had about ninjutsu, chakra, and the rules of this world was utterly crushed in that instant.
She muttered to herself unconsciously.
"What.what kind of power is this?"
