“Cough, cough.”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Uchiha Raimon’s breathing was rapid, his face grew even paler, his eyes dim and lifeless.
His spiritual energy was damaged, and the forced extraction of Chakra caused his body to be overwhelmed.
He would be unable to act for some time and needed quiet recuperation to recover.
Not to mention…
The damage to his lifespan.
At this rate, he likely only had a few years left!
“Elder Raimon, are you alright?!”
Uchiha Tenxiu hurried forward, placing his hand on Uchiha Raimon’s wound, preparing to cast a Medical Ninjutsu to alleviate his pain.
The moment the light of the Medical Ninjutsu shone, that warm and gentle radiance was like a clear spring, slowly flowing over Uchiha Raimon’s body.
As the Medical Ninjutsu was used, Uchiha Raimon’s originally paper-white face gradually took on a faint hint of redness under the illumination of the light.
His tightly shut eyes also trembled slightly, slowly opening, clearly indicating that his pain had been alleviated.
However, despite the slight improvement brought by the Medical Ninjutsu, Uchiha Raimon’s body remained very weak.
Though his breathing was no longer as rapid and difficult as before, it still seemed somewhat labored.
His body no longer trembled as violently as before, but had become relatively stable.
However, it must be clearly understood that this Medical Ninjutsu, though enhanced by Uchiha Tenxiu by several levels, was ultimately just a low-level Ninjutsu to begin with.
Even if Uchiha Tenxiu had developed and utilized this Ninjutsu extensively, he could never exceed the limits of a low-level Ninjutsu, making it impossible for him to bring people back from the dead.
At this moment, Uchiha Tenxiu also urgently yearned for his Medical Ninjutsu to be stronger.
If he possessed Tsunade’s medical abilities from the original plot, injuries of this severity could be treated with ease, instead of him being helpless as he was now.
But currently, Tsunade hadn’t even been born yet.
Medical Ninjutsu throughout the Ninja World had not yet been effectively developed, belonging to a barren desert.
To specialize in Medical Ninjutsu, there was no way to effectively learn it; one could only grow continuously through self-study.
As for the Medical Ninjutsu that seemed somewhat useful now…
While it could alleviate Uchiha Raimon’s physical pain to a certain extent, it absolutely could not defy fate.
This was like a lone boat in a storm; while it could temporarily withstand the assault of the wind and waves, it ultimately could not escape the fate of being swallowed.
“Damn you, Senju Tobirama, and the clan traitors, one day.
I will make you pay for your blood debt!” Uchiha Tenxiu swore fiercely in his heart again.
A moment later.
Uchiha Tenxiu lowered his hands; all of Uchiha Raimon’s injuries had been dealt with.
At this moment, Uchiha Raimon’s body beneath the bandages actually didn’t have severe external injuries.
It was merely superficial damage.
But because spiritual power forcibly extracted the body’s energy, the body had now lost its ability to recover.
If it didn’t absorb energy from external contact, it would likely only worsen the injuries, eventually depleting the body’s energy step by step, leading to death.
Uchiha Tenxiu had no good way to deal with this kind of loss of life limit caused by forcibly extracting Chakra.
Because in the history of the Ninja World since ancient times…
The result of forcibly extracting a large amount of Chakra exceeding one’s limit was death due to mental and physical abnormalities.
In Uchiha Tenxiu’s view…
This already involved the domain of Yin-Yang Release, something ordinary people simply couldn’t solve.
As for external injuries, the Uchiha Clan had plenty of secret medicines to provide external energy contact for repairing these flesh wounds, so Uchiha Tenxiu didn’t need to worry about it.
“All I can do is alleviate his pain!” Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself, feeling helpless.
“Don’t worry, the clan's physician has already seen me; at least, I don’t need to worry about my condition for a few years.”
Uchiha Raimon forced himself to wave his hand, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he spoke to Uchiha Tenxiu.
Even if Uchiha Raimon appeared utterly nonchalant at this moment, who truly wouldn’t care about their own life!
“I’m afraid I don’t have much time left! I’m not worried about Lingyue; her talent is exceptionally outstanding, and given time, she will surely become an exceptional Ninja, fully capable of protecting herself in this crisis-filled world.”
“However, my younger daughter Yukino’s health worries me deeply; if it’s Yukino…”
Uchiha Raimon pondered silently, his brows tightly furrowed, worry clearly etched on his face.
Yukino was different from Lingyue; her personality was softer, and she was born with a Bloodline Limit-induced illness, making it impossible for her to train.
To survive in this cruel Ninja World, her own strength alone would likely be far from enough.
After much deliberation and years of observation…
Uchiha Raimon had actually already made up his mind to entrust his second daughter, Uchiha Yukino, to Uchiha Tenxiu even before Uchiha Tenxiu arrived.
Uchiha Tenxiu was not only immensely talented but also intelligent and resourceful, so no one could ever get the better of him.
Although he couldn't be described as upright and kind, he was a person who valued loyalty and gratitude extremely highly.
His personal tutelage over the past few years, coupled with his usual interactions with Yukino, had forged a deep bond between them.
Even with his ambitious and unyielding nature, he would be able to command the subordinates he left behind.
With his strength, as long as he was given a few years to grow, he would not suffer in the struggles of the Ninja World.
After all, with that kid’s eight hundred cunning minds, he was actually the most trustworthy person in the Ninja World.
If he entrusted his younger daughter Yukino to him, Uchiha Raimon believed that even if he one day left this world, Uchiha Yukino would receive the most proper care and protection.
After making this decision…
Uchiha Raimon felt a little lighter.
He knew this was the best arrangement for Yukino at the moment.
Though his heart was still filled with reluctance, for his daughter’s future, he had to do this.
Thinking of this…
Uchiha Raimon no longer hesitated, gently placing his hand on Uchiha Tenxiu’s shoulder, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Tenxiu’s eyes, and suddenly asked, “Tenxiu. What do you think of Yukino?!”
“Yukino?” Faced with the sudden question, Uchiha Tenxiu said without the slightest hesitation, “Yukino’s personality is gentle and she’s very cute; I like her a lot, much cuter than Lingyue!”
Uchiha Tenxiu praised, inadvertently mentioning Yukino’s older sister, Lingyue.
He thought of that tsundere girl who always bothered him, picked on his minor flaws, and constantly watched him and Yukino.
Strange.
It just occurred to him, why hadn’t she come out today?
A hint of doubt crossed Uchiha Tenxiu’s mind.
The next moment…
His thoughts were interrupted by a single sentence from Uchiha Raimon.
“What if I intend to entrust Yukino to you! What do you think? Are you willing?”
Uchiha Raimon gazed at Uchiha Tenxiu, speaking seriously without any hesitation in his words.
“Hmm!” Uchiha Tenxiu was first puzzled, then his expression became serious as he patted his chest, saying, “Although I don’t know why Elder Raimon you’ve made this decision, I only know that Yukino is one of the most important people in my life.
No matter what happens, no matter when, I will not allow anyone to harm her, I guarantee it with my life.”
Uchiha Tenxiu’s eyes were filled with determination; no matter if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, nothing could obstruct his will.
