Bai Yu quickly ran to the third floor and came to the operating room at the corner.
Orochimaru stood quietly outside the door of the operating room, his jounin uniform covered in blood.
Although he looked relatively calm and did not see much emotional changes, Bai Yu noticed that his fists were clenched very hard.
Bai Yu came to Orochimaru, bowed respectfully, and asked:
"Lord Orochimaru! How is the rope tree?"
"Tsunade is inside rescuing..." Orochimaru responded, his voice unusually hoarse and dry.
Rescue... Bai Yu's heart sank.
The operation was still going on, and the entire corridor was deathly silent.
After a while, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly arrived.
"Orochimaru, how is the rope tree? Why is this happening?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was a bit harsh, with a hint of questioning.
He never thought that he would ask Orochimaru to take the rope tree to the Land of Rain, which is not dangerous, to experience it, to make good deals with the jounin of the former Senju clan, and to ease the relationship.
As a result, Naoki was seriously injured and almost died under Orochimaru's nose.
You must know that Orochimaru is the disciple he has high hopes for, the most powerful competitor of the Fourth Hokage, and the best successor in his heart!
Nezuki's talent is also very good. The most important thing is that he is the grandson of the first Hokage, and he even hopes to become the fifth Hokage in the future.
Although the Senju Clan was disbanded on the spot, abandoned their surnames, and completely integrated into Konoha, these people are still in Konoha, and they still have a sense of belonging to the Senju Clan. This is a quite powerful force.
Although Tsunade and Naoki also gave up the surname "Senju", they were still able to rely on the prestige of the first and second generations in the village to gain support from the original Senju clan ninjas.
Many old guys from the original Senju Clan want to rebuild the Senju Clan. In the future, Roeshu can even restore the Senju Clan's surname by just raising his arms.
Orochimaru was born into a civilian ninja family and was very popular in the village. After accepting the rope tree as his disciple, he would be able to get the support of Tsunade and the former Senju clan ninjas.
Coupled with the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, even the famous Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge could not gain an advantage in the competition with Orochimaru.
Now that something like this has happened, what do the former Thousand Hands people think?
In any case, they have to bear considerable responsibility.
The position of the Third Hokage of Sarutobi Hiruzen itself has the meaning of being appointed by the Second Generation, and it is not chosen by everyone.
Although he relied on his own efforts and the help of his three companions to secure the position of Hokage and gained support from civilian ninjas and small and medium-sized families, the two giants like Hinata and Uchiha were still somewhat dissatisfied.
Especially for the Uchiha clan, it was crucial for the Uchiha and Senju clan to reconcile when Konoha was established.
The first Hokage even promised to make Uchiha Madara the second Hokage, but he gave up after being opposed by everyone.
However, the Uchiha clan has never stopped coveting the position of Hokage.
"It was my negligence." Orochimaru said solemnly.
After a while, the other three Hokage consultants Koharu, Mito Kadoyan, and Shimura Danzo also arrived at the door of the operating room.
Among Konoha's jounin and chuunin, at least one-fifth of the ninjas are inextricably linked to the Senju clan.
Once the rope tree dies, it will definitely cause an uproar in the village.
...
Soon, the indicator light on the operating room door turned from red to green.
The operation is over.
When the door of the operating room opened, the medical squad leader, Minami, and Nonoyu came out first.
"Third generation sir, advisor."
"How's the rope tree doing?"
"Rose Tree is temporarily out of danger, but his legs...can no longer be saved."
At this time, the medical staff pushed the unconscious Rooshu out of the operating room.
Bai Yu noticed that Naoshu's calf and the knee had been amputated.
Although he saved his life, his ninja career was over.
For ninjas, hands are the most important. Losing one hand means losing almost all ninjutsu.
The ultra-high-end technique of one-handed hand seal is not universal.
The second is the loss of a leg. If the rope tree is now an adult, and his physical development and strength have basically reached a certain level, then he loses a leg and can still maintain a certain level of combat power with a prosthetic limb.
But he is only 12 years old now and is in a period of rapid development, especially since both his legs are broken and even the knees are amputated. I am afraid that he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Bai Yu noticed that the bracelet he gave to Shengshu's wrist had lost its response to the energy field. Apparently the [Barrier] spell had been activated.
He has done tests and found that if a single detonating talisman explodes at close range, two [Barrier] spells superimposed can completely prevent it.
You must know that when the detonating talisman explodes at zero distance, no matter what jounin or shadow you are, if you don't have strong defense means, you will die or be disabled.
As a magical item made with level 0 spells, this defense is already quite powerful.
The rope tree was injured so badly. It was obvious that he directly stepped on multiple detonating charms.
Bai Yu felt a little heavy.
In the face of a cruel war, no matter what genius you are or how prominent your status is, as long as you go to the battlefield, you only have one life.
There can be no carelessness.
Not only did Bai Yu make demonic items, he also repeatedly reminded him to be careful during his daily practice and before Shengshu left.
Although the ending of Roe Shu's death has been changed now, this result feels like he has been "killed".
There is no medical ninjutsu of this level in the ninja world to regenerate a severed limb.
Even in the wizarding world, low-level wizards can't do it.
Bai Yu might be able to do something about it in the future, but obviously he can't help Shengshu now.
"Gather the best medical resources and make sure to save the life of the tree." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Where is Tsunade?"
"Tsunade-sama is still in the operating room, she..." Minami looked a little pale, not only because she was tired, but also because she felt sorry for Naoki. After all, this child was very popular.
"Hey~" Sandai sighed, having a headache.
"Sandaime-sama, can I go see Teacher Tsunade?" Bai Yu asked softly.
"You?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
I'm afraid there's nothing they can do to comfort Tsunade.
"Orochimaru, come with me." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.
Orochimaru followed him silently and left, along with Danzo and others.
Bai Yu took a deep breath and walked into the operating room.
Tsunade was seen leaning against the corner next to the operating table, her whole body curled up, her body covered in blood, her body trembling slightly, trying to suppress her cries.
Bai Yu came to Tsunade and knelt down.
Hearing the noise, Tsunade raised her head slightly. Her eyes were swollen and as red as a rabbit.
"Tsunade-sensei, if you want to cry, just cry loudly. It will make you feel better." Bai Yu gently wiped away Tsunade's tears.
[Obtain the tears of powerful radiation creatures (1/1), the emotional power is perfect, meets the standards, quality: perfect]
Only this time, the information displayed by the "Eye of Truth" did not bring Bai Yu the slightest joy.
"Ugh——!" Tsunade let out a shocking cry. Looking at Bai Yu, who was about the same age as her younger brother, she hugged him suddenly.
...
In the Hokage's office.
"Orochimaru, do you know what consequences this matter will bring?!"
"It is my fault."
Facing the teacher's questioning, Orochimaru finally stopped suppressing his emotions, his voice filled with regret and self-blame.
"Fortunately, the rope tree survived! Tsunade's mood is not suitable for returning to the battlefield immediately. You should leave the village immediately and go to the front line to lead the team." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
After all, he couldn't bear to criticize this disciple who had high hopes. After all, what happened to the rope tree was an accident. Now Orochimaru needs to continue to build up his military exploits to make up for his mistakes.
"The people pretending to be wandering ninjas in the Kingdom of Rain are people from Hidden Cloud Village. I want to go to the Kingdom of Thunder first!"
Orochimaru said solemnly.
"What do you want to do?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked shocked when he heard this, "If you provoke Kumogakure at this time, once they join the war, the situation will quickly deteriorate. Now you need to take charge of the overall situation on the frontal battlefield."
"Jiraiya has been summoned. He will arrive at the front line soon...I will be back soon."
Orochimaru's expression turned cold.
"I will make Kumogakure unable to participate in the battle!"
After saying that, he turned and left directly.
Orochimaru has always been consistent with Sarutobi Hiruzen on major matters.
For the first time, I chose to disobey.
