Chapter 122 Detoxification, Secret Talk
Daimyo Prefecture, the province of Kawano.
Unlike the low-rise houses in the surrounding area, Damingfu covers a vast area and has well-organized and solemn buildings.
In the darkness of night, the patrolling guards moved in an orderly fashion, and torches and lanterns tried to illuminate every dark corner, but also cast more flickering shadows.
The teams from Sunagakure and Konoha met here.
Although Yuanqiu Du and his four guards were exhausted, their expressions revealed excitement.
They were led to the front of the procession to negotiate with the guards of the Daming Prefecture.
"The daimyo of the River Kingdom is quite prestigious. Even in a coma, he can still maintain such order in his residence," Hoshigen Sensaku thought to himself. "This is definitely not something that one or two loyal retainers could maintain. It seems that this person's rule is quite well-organized."
Guided by the guards, the group entered the Daming Mansion and headed straight for the Daming's residence where he was recuperating.
Inside the mansion, in a room built of bluestone, candlelight flickered.
The candlelight illuminated Genjuoka's furious face. He pointed to the two men in front of him: one dressed as a ninja from the Land of Rivers, his nominal subordinate, Sagane; the other, with brown hair and black clothes, calm yet with indifferent eyes, was none other than Rasa from Sunagakure.
Yuanqiu Hui wanted to curse loudly, but when he met Luo Sha's cold gaze, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He never expected that in just one day, the position of Daimyo that was about to be his would slip away. The Sand Village actually joined forces with the Leaf Village, intending to revive his comatose father.
This is utterly shameless! The poison was originally supplied by Sunagakure, yet now they want to use it to treat those they poisoned.
Crash—Bang! Smash!
Enraged, Yuanqiu Hui swept all the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones off the table and then grabbed the antique porcelain from the bookshelf and smashed it on the ground.
The sound of shattering echoed in the room, as if his heart was being torn apart.
A few minutes later, he slumped into a wooden chair, panting heavily, his face full of dejection.
"Can the Konoha ninja really revive my father?" Genjuu asked in a hoarse voice, clinging to the last shred of hope.
"Tsunade is among those who came from Konoha," Rasa said calmly.
The person before him was neither a daimyo nor a nobleman of the Land of Wind. He did not need to be overly respectful, nor did he need to be overly indifferent. Everything was for the benefit of Sunagakure.
Upon hearing the name "Tsunade," Genjuu was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a long, dejected sigh, his expression completely collapsing.
He now deeply regrets his actions: if he had known this would happen, why did he pursue any "legitimate" succession? He should have seized the opportunity, eliminated his father's guards, and suppressed all dissenting voices.
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.
The teams from Konoha and Sunagakure were led to a courtyard.
The courtyard was brightly lit and heavily guarded.
"Halt! Proceeding is prohibited!" a guard captain shouted sternly.
"Captain Chongche, this is a Konoha ninja who has come to treat my father," said Yuanqiu Du.
Hoshigen Chisaku scanned the guards before him—all solemn samurai with sharp, piercing gazes. They didn't care which country the newcomer was from; they were only loyal to their duty, protecting the daimyo's safety.
Captain Chongche's gaze swept over the crowd, lingering briefly on the Sand Village ninja.
"Feng, go and inform the chief commander," he ordered in a deep voice.
"yes!"
A young samurai turned around in response and strode into the house.
A short while later, a man in his late thirties, dressed in armor, strode out.
He wore two samurai swords, one long and one short, at his waist. A hideous scar marred his right cheek. His cold gaze swept over the people of Konoha and Sunagakure before finally settling on Genjiro Wataru, at which point his expression softened slightly.
"Your Highness, please bring the medical ninjas inside. The rest of you, please wait a moment."
"Thank you very much, Lord Kuki Gen." Genki Wataru said excitedly.
"Hmm." Kuki Yan nodded slightly.
Hoshigen Chisaku thought to himself, "This Kuki Yan, a samurai, is probably at the Jonin level—and seems to be more inclined to side with the daimyo's second son."
Without further thought, he turned and exchanged a glance with Tsunade, and the two nodded simultaneously.
"Senior Shuo Mao, let's go in first," said Xingyuan Qian Shuo.
"Go ahead," Sakumo Hatake replied.
Ebizo remained calm, silent and motionless.
So, Hoshino Senju and Tsunade followed Minamoto no Wataru into the house.
The room was filled with candlesticks, illuminating the room brightly.
The group entered the inner room and saw Minamoto no Mori, the daimyo of the land of rivers, lying unconscious on the tatami mats.
He was breathing weakly and occasionally let out a low moan of pain.
Yuanqiu Du knelt beside his father, tears streaming down his face: "Father, I am late—I am an unfilial son."
O
This outpouring of genuine emotion moved everyone in the room.
Besides the three of them, there were four samurai standing quietly in a corner inside the house, as well as two physicians in their sixties or seventies who were obviously the physicians in charge of taking care of the daimyo.
"Chisaku, let's begin." Upon seeing the patient, Tsunade's expression immediately turned solemn.
"Okay, I'll assist you," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied.
Although he gained a lot of knowledge about poisons from the system, Tsunade was still more skilled in the practical application of detoxification.
She unfurled a scroll, summoning various bottles and containers, then placed her hand on Minamoto no Mori's body, using her chakra to sense his physical condition.
At this moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo also examined his condition through the system:
【Name: Yuanqiu Sheng】
[Condition: Severe poisoning, organ failure, nearing the end of life]
"His internal organs are severely depleted, and he's only holding on by sheer willpower—" Tsunade frowned slightly, then gave the order, "Chisaku, use Yang-attribute chakra to nourish his internal organs, focusing on his liver and kidneys."
"clear."
Xingyuan Qianshuo's hands glowed with green light, covering the dam's abdomen and slowly nourishing the failing organs with the power of life.
Tsunade didn't delay either. She took a needle to draw blood, dripped the blood into different test tubes, and quickly prepared the reagents.
"What an insidious poison—was it that old woman Chiyo's doing again?" she thought to herself.
Xingyuan Qianshuo watched Tsunade's complex yet orderly actions, a look of admiration flashing in his eyes.
When he first took Jingyin as his apprentice, he was given a "Poison Knowledge and Experience Scroll," so he could roughly understand her steps. However, if he tried it himself, he would never be able to do it as smoothly and accurately.
Seven or eight minutes later, Tsunade, holding a vial of medicine, let out a long sigh: "I'm a little rusty."
She supported Genjuu Mori's upper body, and Genjuu Watari quickly knelt down to help her.
"Chisaku, continue maintaining chakra output," Tsunade instructed before feeding the Daimyo the antidote.
The medicine is gradually absorbed and circulates throughout the body via the bloodstream.
Xingyuan Qianshuo could clearly sense that Yuanqiu Sheng's liver and blood were beginning to detoxify. He increased his chakra output, and green light enveloped most of his body.
The unconscious man gradually stopped groaning, and his breathing became steady.
Yuanqiu Du's face lit up with joy, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially those two old doctors—they didn't want to get involved in the political struggle, but they had no choice; now that Daming has been saved, they have also escaped a calamity.
Five minutes later, Genjuoka Mori slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually clearing, and he mumbled a single word: "Water—"
"Yes, yes! Father, I'll go fetch water right away!" Yuanqiu Du excitedly got up and poured water.
Genjuu Mori turned his gaze and saw the scene in the room: two people wearing Konoha headbands, guards, and a doctor—he gradually recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.
He sighed softly.
I never imagined that my eldest son, Genjuki, would poison me.
After fetching water from Yuanqiu Ferry, he carefully helped his father drink it.
"Your Excellency, I am Tsunade, a medical ninja from Konoha. There are a few points regarding your condition that need to be explained separately," Tsunade said.
"So it's Lady Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. Thank you for your trouble." Minamoto no Mori's voice was still weak.
"Just call me Tsunade," Tsunade said directly. "The illness involves important matters, so please leave for now."
"Alright—you can all go out now," Yuanqiu Sheng instructed, then after a moment's thought, added, "Watari, you stay."
"Yes, Father," Genjuu Watari replied.
"Yes, my lord."
The two doctors and four guards respectfully withdrew and closed the door.
"Your Excellency, although the poison you suffered from has been cured, the poisoning lasted too long, causing severe organ failure and a significant reduction in your lifespan," Tsunade said calmly.
Minamoto no Mori's expression remained unchanged, but Minamoto no Wataru's expression suddenly turned sorrowful, his eyes revealing grief and resentment.
"Please speak freely, Lady Tsunade. How much time do I have left?" Minamoto no Mori asked.
"I can prescribe a gentle and nourishing formula, but at most—I only have two months left."
"Two months, huh? —" Genjiro Mori murmured repeatedly.
He was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "Thank you both for your hard work. Please go and rest first; I will express my gratitude later."
"it is good."
Tsunade didn't say much. After tidying up her tools, she and Chisaku left together.
Hoshino Senju carefully closed the door, leaving the father and son alone to talk—Yuanqiu Sheng clearly needed to know everything that had happened during his coma.
He then glanced at the system notification:
[You helped cure Minamoto no Mori's poisoning symptoms and have received the following reward: Scroll of Political Experience *1, Mental Strength increased by 5%]
It's quite unexpected that such a reward would be given for treating a daimyo of a country.
The political scroll is understandable, but the improvement in mental strength—it seems that this Minamoto no Mori is indeed mentally resilient.
He did not immediately claim the reward, but shut down the system, intending to process it together with his previous earnings.
The two returned to the courtyard, where all was quiet.
The Konoha ninja, the Sunagakure ninja, and the Daimyo's guards were divided into three factions with clear boundaries.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the two people who walked out.
Although they had already learned from the doctors and guards who had left earlier that the daimyo had awakened, they still wanted to get confirmation from the medical ninja.
Upon seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo said, "Your Excellency has regained consciousness, but he is still recovering from a serious illness and needs to rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, both Hatake Sakumo and Ebizo knew that the daimyo was inquiring about the situation with his second son, Genjutsu.
Ebizo remained calm.
Even if the mission appears to have failed, Sunagakure can still profit from it. He understands Minamoto no Mori's style: this man is adept at maintaining a balance between the Kingdoms of Wind and Fire, and if he benefits Konoha, he will certainly benefit Sunagakure as well.
The crowd waited patiently, not yet leaving.
Soon after, Genjika Wataru pushed open the door and said, "Lord Sakumo, Lord Ebizo, my father invites you both inside for a chat."
He then turned to the captain of the guards: "Lord Kuki Yan, please come in as well."
"Wait here for a moment," Sakumo Hatake instructed his subordinates.
Ebizo nodded to the Sunagakure members, and then the group went into the room.
Ten minutes later, they walked out again with calm expressions, making it impossible to tell whether the negotiations were genuine or not.
Genjutsu then instructed the guard captain, Shigetsu, to lead the Konoha and Sunagakure personnel to their guest rooms to rest.
As they stepped out of the courtyard, they saw that many ministers and nobles from the land of rivers had already gathered outside.
They had been waiting inside or nearby the mansion, but upon hearing that Prince Watari and the ninjas had arrived, they all gathered there.
The Konoha and Sunagakure ninja ignored them and walked straight through the crowd. They didn't dare to stop them and quickly made way. As soon as Genjiro Wataru and Kuki Genji stepped out of the courtyard, they were immediately surrounded by the crowd, who bombarded them with questions.
Whether intentionally or not, Captain Shigechi arranged for Konoha and Sunagakure to be in two adjacent courtyards.
Tonight, neither side will likely be able to sleep peacefully.
