Chapter 96 Rescuing Karin's Mother! Blood Healing Properties! (Fourth Update)
"Hold the formation!"
One of the Kusagakure ninja shouted, but Kiyoha did not give them a chance to regroup.
Qingyu formed hand seals, channeled chakra into his throat, and then suddenly exhaled it.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
Flames erupted from Qingyu's mouth, coalescing in the air to form the shape of a giant dragon.
The Flame Dragon pounced towards the area where the Grass Village ninjas were most concentrated.
The blazing flames swept across, instantly turning the grass on the ground into ashes.
"Get out of my way!"
"There's no escaping it now, ahhh!"
Three Kusagakure ninjas who couldn't dodge in time were reduced to burning figures in the flames, screaming as they collapsed to the ground and soon fell silent.
In Qingyu's hands, fire jutsu is not a benevolent technique.
The Grass Village ninjas were forced to retreat by Kiyoha's Fire Release technique. A few surviving Grass Village ninjas exchanged glances and then quickly formed hand seals.
Water Release: Great Water Bullet!
Several thick water jets shot towards Qingyu from different directions, weaving into a water net in the air, attempting to suppress Qingyu's fire escape technique by using water to counter fire.
"Water escape?"
Qingyu swung his sword horizontally, and a fan-shaped flame blade shot out, crashing head-on into the water column that was at the forefront.
Uchiha Style: Flame Flash!
The moment the fiery slash collided with the water column, a large amount of white mist rose up.
The flames showed no signs of slowing down, continuing to slash at the Kusagakure ninjas.
The Kusagakure ninjas were so stunned by this scene that they were a beat slow to react. By the time they realized what was happening and tried to dodge, it was too late.
Konoha Style: Willow!
Qingyu's figure suddenly disappeared before their eyes.
The sword light exploded in the air, transforming into countless crisscrossing sword shadows that surged towards the Kusagakure ninjas.
The Grass Village ninjas were thrown into chaos.
Some people swung their knives in an attempt to block, but the blades did not touch anything when they passed through the sword shadows.
Amidst the chaos, Qingyu's true form appeared behind a Kusagakure Jonin.
The ninja from Kusagakure had a sharper sense of perception than the others. He sensed the danger at the last moment, turned around abruptly, and thrust his kunai at Kiyoyu.
But it was too late.
Thor's sword pierced his back and emerged from his chest.
Qingyu drew her sword, drawing a string of blood beads.
The Grass Village Jonin swayed, then fell straight down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Lord Qingyu is truly amazing."
The slug on my shoulder spoke in a gentle tone, its antennae swaying softly.
"It's nothing."
Qingyu flicked the blood off the Thor's Sword and scanned the battlefield.
The enemies on the perimeter have been mostly eliminated.
Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka have also finished their battle and are currently cleaning up the remaining enemies.
The corpses of the Kusagakure ninjas lay scattered on the ground, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and burnt flesh.
Qingyu sheathed the Thunder God Sword and walked towards the direction where Hatake Sakumo was.
The outpost was built of rough timber and earth and stone, surrounded by a simple fence, and the watchtowers were deserted.
The bodies of two Kusagakure ninjas lay dead at the main gate, their wounds appearing to have been inflicted by Sakumo Hatake's short sword.
Qingyu pushed open the half-closed wooden door and walked into the outpost.
Sakumo Hatake stood inside, blood still dripping from his short sword.
On the ground in front of him, a red-haired woman was curled up in a ball.
She looked to be only in her early twenties, with a haggard face.
The Uzumaki Clan?
Qingyu's heart stirred.
"Qingyu, you've arrived."
Sakumo Hatake glanced at Kiyoha and the other two behind him.
"The situation outside has been taken care of, Lord Sakumo."
Qingyu said.
He walked over to Sakumo Hatake and crouched down to check on the woman's condition.
She was still conscious, but her physical condition was very bad.
Qingyu's gaze swept over her exposed arms and noticed some teeth marks.
The teeth marks were of different sizes and shapes, clearly not left by the same person.
Qingyu instantly confirmed her guess.
This woman is very likely Xiang's mother.
"Lord Sakumo, let me treat her."
Qingyu rolled up her sleeves.
Sakumo Hatake nodded and stepped back a few paces.
That was exactly what he was thinking.
Qingyu formed hand seals, and a faint green medical chakra glow emanated from his palms.
He placed his palm on the woman's shoulder, and Yang Release chakra seeped into her body along her meridians.
The Grade B trait, Cell Activation, came into play at this moment.
The amplification brought by the Yang Release chakra effect made Qingyu's healing efficiency far exceed that of ordinary medical ninjas.
The woman's breathing gradually calmed down.
Her previously haggard complexion regained some color at a visible speed.
She looked up at Qingyu, somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Because she didn't know what Qingyu and the others wanted to do to her.
Qingyu withdrew her hand and gave her a gentle expression.
"You are out of danger. We are Konoha ninjas."
The woman didn't speak, but curled up even tighter, hugging her knees to her chest.
"Her hair is red, just like Kushina-senpai's, so she might be a member of the Uzumaki clan."
Kakashi spoke.
Sakumo Hatake nodded.
"I feel the same way."
"Why don't we go see Lady Tsunade? She should know more about the Uzumaki clan."
Kakashi made the suggestion.
"We meant no harm."
Qingyu looked at the red-haired woman, said that they meant no harm, and asked her name.
"Whirlpool—Karin".
Uzumaki Karin realized that Kiyoha didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so she revealed her name.
"Then we're relatives."
Qingyu said.
Just as Uzumaki Karin was wondering, Kiyoha told her that he was a member of the Senju clan.
When he needs the Sharingan, he is an Uchiha; when he needs an identity, he is a Senju.
Qingyu's moral bottom line is so flexible.
"A relative—the Senju clan?"
Upon hearing these words, Uzumaki Karin's unease immediately dissipated.
The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan are indeed distant relatives.
If you really want to say who Qingyu and she are, you could say they're relatives.
Qingyu also mentioned that his older sister Tsunade was a member of the Senju clan, and he guessed that Uzumaki Karin had probably heard of her.
After all, the title of the Three Legendary Sannin is known throughout the entire ninja world.
Karin Uzumaki's eyes widened; she had indeed heard of Tsunade's name.
After hesitating for a moment, Uzumaki Karin agreed to go out with Kiyoyu and the others.
[Collectible trait detected: Blood healing]
[C-level trait: Blood healing]
[Effect: By drinking the blood of a host, one can quickly restore their own or another's chakra and heal injuries.]
[Synthesis: Perform ten surgeries to synthesize a Grade B trait: Physical Healing.]
Looking at this trait, Qingyu instantly thought of the true source of the tragic fate of the Uzumaki mother and daughter.
By biting the skin of Uzumaki Kaori and her mother, the person who bites can quickly recover from injuries or chakra.
Qingyu's current trait is clearly weaker and needs to be restored through blood as a medium.
However, if upgraded, it is possible to gain a similar ability, except that it bites skin instead of drinking blood.
"However, we could also extract some of my blood beforehand and store it in a bottle as a blood vial. Wouldn't that allow ninjas who don't know medical ninjutsu to recover immediately?"
Qingyu pondered.
But soon, he shook his head.
It's not that simple.
These all require his blood, but the blood supply inside the human body is limited.
Unless Kiyoha learns a ninjutsu similar to "Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique" from Jujutsu Kaisen, which can convert the caster's mana bar into a health bar, it's unlikely to work.
Otherwise, the effect of this trait is still somewhat lackluster, so it's better to upgrade it sooner and see what the effect of the next level of trait is.
Before long, the group finished cleaning up the traces of the outpost and quickly left.
Tsunade, who was waiting outside, frowned when she saw Kiyoyu helping a red-haired woman out.
"Who is this?"
She walked over and observed the woman beside Qingyu.
While red hair is a defining characteristic of the Uzumaki clan, many people who are not members of the Uzumaki clan also have red hair.
Therefore, Tsunade did not connect the dots and realize that Uzumaki Karin was also a member of the Uzumaki clan.
"Tsunade-nee, she is Uzumaki Karin, imprisoned by those Kusagakure people. When we found her, she still had a lot of teeth marks on her."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes widened immediately.
The whirlpool and the Thousand Hands are distant relatives.
Her grandmother was also a member of the Whirlpool Clan, making them even closer relatives.
When she was a child, Tsunade also visited the Uzumaki clan.
Unfortunately, the Uzumaki clan was later wiped out.
In Tsunade's view, Konoha owes the Uzumaki clan a debt.
They sent him to be a Jinchūriki and gave him sealing techniques, yet they still managed to have their country destroyed?
"These ninja from the Grass Village are truly inhuman."
Tsunade is currently filled with anger and sympathy for Karin Uzumaki's plight.
Tsunade stepped forward and hugged her.
"Don't be afraid, you're alright now."
Tsunade said in a low voice.
Uzumaki Karin paused for a moment, then looked up at the blonde woman in front of her.
I suspect she is Tsunade.
Seeing Tsunade's concerned look, she could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
"Come back to Konoha with us. There are still Uzumaki clan members in the village."
Tsunade said.
Uzumaki Karin nodded.
She knew a little about it.
In the early years, the Uzumaki clan sent a clansman with special chakra to Konoha, where he was taken care of by Mito Uzumaki.
"I'm willing to go with you."
Whirlpool Pear Path.
If even a powerful figure like Tsunade is extending a helping hand to her, then perhaps this time it really will be different.
Qingyu watched from behind.
Those people from the Land of Grass are indeed quite ruthless.
In the original work, Karin Uzumaki suffers a tragic fate, ultimately dying after her chakra is drained.
However, after her death, the young Xiang was also placed on top and used as a blood bag for treatment.
If Uzumaki Karin were to return to Konoha, it would certainly be a good thing.
"Tsunade, she still needs further treatment. Let's settle her in first."
Tsunade nodded.
Several days later, Konoha Village.
In his office in the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the mission report in his hand and exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"A survivor of the vortex?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uzumaki Karin, who had been brought back by Kiyoha and her group, and his expression was extremely varied.
He never imagined that after the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, there would be orphans left behind in the Land of Grass.
And Qingyu and the others even brought them back!
"Uzumaki Karin."
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone softened a bit.
"The Uzumaki clan and Konoha have been allies since ancient times. Mito Uzumaki was the wife of the First Hokage and a senior I respect. You are a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, so you are a member of Konoha. From today onwards, you can live in Konoha, and no one will hurt you anymore."
Uzumaki Karin nodded.
Tsunade reached out and gently patted her back.
"Don't be afraid. Although the old man may not look good, he keeps his word."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice after Tsunade called him an old man.
"Then you can live with Kushina; she's also a member of the Uzumaki clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.
Both of them were members of the Whirlpool Clan, so they naturally felt more empathy for each other.
"What's the reward for this mission?"
Tsunade said.
"You all performed exceptionally well this time, so I'll give you extra rewards."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.
Bringing back a member of the Vortex Clan—that's a mission of immense value, easily qualifying as an S-rank mission.
The Uzumaki clan has a unique advantage in sealing techniques. Once Uzumaki Karin learns the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha will have another powerful sealing ninja.
Moreover—as everyone knows, the Whirlpool Sealing Technique is especially effective against Tailed Beasts!
If Kushina were to go berserk again, Karin Uzumaki would be able to help stabilize her.
Seeing this, Tsunade was satisfied and left with Kiyoyu, Uzumaki Karin, and the others.
After receiving their mission rewards, Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi, and Hyuga Ginkai dispersed.
As Qingyu looked at Uzumaki Karin, he wondered if he could get a taste of the sealing techniques if Kushina taught Uzumaki Karin.
After all, in this version, those who have mastered sealing techniques are considered to be among the elite.
"Let's go, Kiyoyu, let's find Kushina."
Tsunade pulled on Uzumaki Karin, urging Kiyoha to hurry up.
The heavy burden made Qingyu raise an eyebrow.
He thought to himself how good the quality of Tsunade's clothes was.
