Chapter 122: Complete Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu
Uchiha Dali's words caused every ninja in Sunagakure to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
It felt like—everyone was saved.
This man had no intention of destroying Sunagakure.
Still, everyone remained highly vigilant, and their hearts were filled with grief.
Because their Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was on the brink of death due to extreme chakra depletion—his life force was fading.
Granny Chiyo walked toward Rasa.
As a medical ninja, she naturally knew how to save someone.
After carefully checking Rasa's condition, Granny Chiyo's expression grew grave.
"To think it's come to this…"
"You've done well, Rasa."
Murmuring to herself, she placed both hands on Rasa's chest and released a powerful surge of chakra.
She was attempting to use her medical ninjutsu to restore his vital signs.
At that moment, Uchiha Dali also approached.
He curiously watched Granny Chiyo's every movement—when suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.
[You are currently observing the second-greatest medical ninja in the world performing medical ninjutsu. Your understanding of medical ninjutsu has deepened. You have comprehended: Complete Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu!]
[Complete Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu: A comprehensive collection of all existing low-, mid-, and high-level medical ninjutsu in the world today—including secret arts capable of resurrecting the dead. All techniques comprehended are in perfect form.]
Upon hearing the voice, Uchiha Dali's heart stirred.
He noticed that Granny Chiyo had begun using a forbidden technique unique to Sunagakure—one of only two jutsu in the entire Naruto world capable of resurrecting the dead: One's Own Life Reincarnation.
The principle behind this technique was actually quite simple.
Using one's own chakra as a medium, it was continuously converted into life force.
Granny Chiyo had developed this secret jutsu as a last resort to revive the parents of her grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand. It could even grant life to puppets that were never alive to begin with.
However, before she had the chance to use it, Sasori had already killed the Third Kazekage and betrayed Sunagakure.
While One's Own Life Reincarnation could bring the dead back to life, it could also be used to heal injuries.
The mechanism was the same.
Chakra was consumed and transformed into life force to heal another.
Its healing effect should be on par with Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal.
The Strength of a Hundred Seal could also heal wounds of any kind. As long as there was enough chakra, injuries could be instantly regenerated to a fully restored state.
The difference was, Tsunade's jutsu simply consumed an enormous amount of chakra.
In extreme cases, excessive chakra use might make her appear older.
But Granny Chiyo's forbidden jutsu—One's Own Life Reincarnation—when used for healing, truly consumed her own life force.
And to revive someone who had already died, she had to convert all of her chakra into life force. It was a suicidal technique.
That's why it was classified as a forbidden jutsu.
But the Complete Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu that Uchiha Dali had just unlocked with his heaven-defying comprehension not only included the Strength of a Hundred Seal—it also contained One's Own Life Reincarnation.
What made it even more remarkable was that the versions of these forbidden techniques he had comprehended were all in perfect form.
What did that mean?
It meant that when Uchiha Dali used these medical jutsu, he wouldn't suffer their original side effects.
For example, he could freely use the Strength of a Hundred Seal to heal injuries without becoming weakened or appearing aged due to chakra depletion.
This ability was practically on par with Hashirama Senju's Sage Body.
And when he used One's Own Life Reincarnation, it simply required more chakra—it didn't cost him his life.
Seeing that Granny Chiyo was about to sacrifice herself using One's Own Life Reincarnation to save Rasa, Uchiha Dali stepped forward.
"Let me give it a try."
"You?"
Granny Chiyo, just moments from transforming all her chakra into life force to revive Rasa, looked up in astonishment.
The surrounding Sunagakure shinobi all wore expressions of disbelief.
They watched, half-doubtful, as Uchiha Dali rolled up his sleeves, knelt down, and began examining Rasa's body.
Rasa's skin had already turned a bluish-purple.
Ignoring Granny Chiyo's questioning gaze, Uchiha Dali calmly raised his hand and unleashed the perfect version of One's Own Life Reincarnation he had just acquired.
His vast ocean-like chakra burst forth, and in an instant, boundless life energy began to radiate from his body.
As one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, Granny Chiyo immediately sensed it.
Her entire body trembled as she looked at Uchiha Dali in utter shock.
"Such… such powerful life energy!"
"I never imagined you'd mastered such astonishing medical ninjutsu…"
Granny Chiyo stared at the young man before her in disbelief.
As the saying goes, a true expert is revealed with a single move.
The medical ninjutsu that Uchiha Dali was displaying right now had already exceeded her expectations.
Even she, a master of the craft, felt utterly outclassed.
What shocked her even more was that the immense life energy flowing from Uchiha Dali's body was being continuously infused into Rasa.
"This technique…"
Granny Chiyo's body trembled again, her face now showing even greater astonishment.
She recognized it.
"This is… isn't this my One's Own Life Reincarnation?!"
Though filled with shock, Granny Chiyo was also deeply confused.
One's Own Life Reincarnation was a secret jutsu she had personally developed. Not even the other Sunagakure shinobi knew of it—let alone a ninja from Konoha hundreds of miles away.
Yet at this moment, Uchiha Dali's hand signs, chakra transformation, and jutsu flow were all identical to her forbidden technique.
So how could he possibly know it?
It was unbelievable!
As Granny Chiyo reeled in disbelief, the purplish tinge on Rasa's skin began to quickly recede thanks to Uchiha Dali's steady infusion of life energy.
Before long, Rasa started breathing on his own again.
And in less than ten seconds, Rasa suddenly gasped for air—then opened his eyes and sat upright.
Witnessing this scene, all the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas were completely stunned.
Only Granny Chiyo stared at Uchiha Dali with a solemn expression.
Because she was the only one here who truly understood the cost of using One's Own Life Reincarnation.
If nothing unexpected happens next—something very unexpected is about to happen.
