Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

But he didn't dare to be angry with Orochimaru, so he directed all his resentment at Chiba.

If it weren't for Chiba, how could he have been reprimanded by Nohara-gumi and Orochimaru-sama!

"Rope Tree is doomed. I'll see how you get out of this."

Wu Gang stared angrily at Qianye's retreating figure, thinking viciously.

Chapter 3: Generous Rewards, This System is Amazing!

Chiba didn't take Wu Gang seriously at all. He planned to get his reward first and then deal with this old man, Deng, when he got back!

"System, use 'Miraculous Healing'!"

Chiba placed his hands on Nawaki's body, focused intently on the system interface, and silently recited.

[Ding! The host has consumed 1 "Miraculous Healing" usage right. The skill is in effect...]

Zizzi~

A mysterious greenish-blue chakra appeared out of nowhere in Chiba's body, flowing out from his hands and continuously into Nawaki's body.

"This is... the Palm Healing Technique?"

"Chiba actually mastered the Palm Healing Technique?!"

Behind Chiba, Takeo, who was observing his every move, was first taken aback and felt a little jealous, but then he laughed coldly.

"This kid has a lot of talent, it's just a pity he's a fool!"

Palm Healing Technique is a technique that uses chakra to stimulate the patient's wounds, depleting the patient's own life force, thereby enhancing the wounds' healing ability.

The rope tree was already on its last breath, its faint life force like a candle flickering in the wind. Chiba's "fierce wind" blowing in would not only fail to reignite the candle, but would also extinguish it completely!

"What an idiot. With your talent, you could easily become the leader of a group if you just followed the rules," Wu Gang thought to himself.

"But you, of all people, insisted on showing off your lousy medical skills in front of important figures... Hah, now you've not only ruined your promising future, but you might even lose your life!"

Wu Gang felt exceptionally pleased, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

He had already begun to fantasize about the scene where, after Nawaki lost his vital signs, Chiba would be tossed and turned by the enraged Orochimaru.

"...Huh? What's going on?"

Wu Gang secretly glanced at Orochimaru, and was quite surprised to find that Orochimaru's face not only showed no anger, but even faintly revealed... a hint of joy?

“Rope Tree-kun…”

Wu Gang's intuition was correct; at that moment, Orochimaru was staring expectantly at Rope Tree on the stretcher.

In his perception, Nawaki's originally broken body and lifeless chakra were gradually revitalized under the nourishment of the strange energy released by Chiba.

It's like a withered tree coming back to life!

"Cough...cough...cough cough cough!"

At the same time, a barely perceptible cough sounded, which then grew louder and louder, emitting a hysterical wheezing sound like a bellows.

Many people were drawn to the commotion and turned to look.

Suddenly, the rope tree on the stretcher began to cough violently without warning, its whole body convulsing as if it were coughing up its lungs!

"Rope Tree!"

Orochimaru was not surprised but delighted, and appeared beside Nawaki in a flash.

Previously, Rope Tree's trachea was severely burned by the heat generated by the explosion, and a large area of ​​the respiratory mucosa was necrotic, so he could not make a sound at all.

The fact that Nawaki can cough so loudly now means that the boy in front of him has really saved him!

"This, how is this possible?!"

Wu Gang looked like he'd seen a ghost.

As a medical ninja, he naturally knew what Nawaki's reaction meant.

Wu Gang couldn't understand how Rope Tree, who was clearly on the verge of death, could be revived by Chiba's palm technique!

"Huh...huh..."

Rope Tree had not yet regained consciousness and remained in a coma, but his gradually stabilizing breathing was enough to show that he had "come back to life".

"He was so badly injured just now, I never expected he would actually be saved."

"Yes, it's truly shameful. I've been a doctor for most of my life, but when it comes to upholding medical ethics, I'm not even as good as a child."

"That kid Chiba really taught us all a lesson..."

"Well done, Chiba!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd started cheering, and even some of the less seriously injured joined in the cheering for Chiba.

When everyone thought Nawaki was doomed, it was Chiba who steadfastly withstood the pressure and performed treatment, saving a young life.

Tell me, who among those present wouldn't wish to encounter a dedicated medical ninja like Chiba when they were injured?

Even if someone is truly beyond saving, everyone still hopes they can be saved at least once.

"Chiba, you, you are truly our role model."

Wu Gang's smile was more like a grimace, but he still forced a smile and offered insincere compliments to Qianye.

"Damn it, utterly damn it!"

The thought that Chiba would not only escape punishment but might even gain the favor of important figures was more unbearable than killing Takeo.

"If I had known that Rope Tree was so easy to revive, I would have rushed to show off in front of Lord Orochimaru!" Takeshi was filled with regret.

Despite being the center of attention, Chiba remained calm and composed, showing no signs of arrogance despite the praise. This further enhanced everyone's opinion of him.

"Unperturbed by favor or disgrace, this young man will surely marry you someday—no, he'll definitely amount to something!"

In reality, Chiba was simply stunned by the system's generous rewards and didn't care about the reactions of others.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Unfortunately, Chiba lacked cultural knowledge; all he could say was "Holy crap!"

Although the system had already said that using "Miraculous Healing" would definitely result in a high-quality reward, this is just... way too good!

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Thousand Hands Bloodline" and "Perfect Chakra Control"!]

Thousand Hands Bloodline!

Perfect chakra control!

This system is effective; they really do give out rewards!

The Senju bloodline goes without saying; it's one of the top bloodlines comparable to the Uchiha clan.

Once Chiba possesses the Thousand Hands bloodline, it will be enough to bring about a qualitative change in his talent, allowing him to leap from "mediocre" to "amazing"!

The reward of "Perfect Chakra Control" made Chiba so excited that he was breathing rapidly and his heart was pounding.

"Perfect Chakra Control": Grants the host chakra control comparable to Indra's.

Chiba couldn't help but be excited!

That's Indra, the first human to use chakra in battle!

Indra's understanding and application of chakra can be described as unparalleled and unmatched; it would not be an exaggeration to call him the god of ninjutsu.

To put it simply, with a "nighttime-level" understanding of chakra, a single chakra in Chiba's hands can unleash twice, or even ten times, its power!

“The system is awesome!!!”

Chiba really wanted to scream a few times to vent his excitement.

[Ding! Rewards will now be distributed to the host!]

A system notification sounded.

A warm current surged from the depths of Chiba's soul, transforming into countless threads that seeped into his body, constantly reshaping every inch of his bones and flesh.

At the same time, countless images flashed through Chiba's mind, memories of his constant refinement and use of chakra, as if he had personally experienced them.

[Rewards have been distributed. Host, please continue your efforts in saving lives!]

"The existence of this system is truly amazing..."

Feeling the dual transformation and enhancement of both his body and memory, Chiba couldn't help but sigh.

Not long ago, he was a weakling with no fighting ability, but now, he feels that he can sing, dance and rap all day without getting tired!

"Your name is Chiba, right?"

At this moment, Orochimaru, having confirmed that Nawaki was out of danger, narrowed his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"……Um?"

Orochimaru's voice pulled Chiba back to reality. His eyes narrowed as he saw Orochimaru staring down at him, his golden vertical pupils flashing with an eerie light.

"The medical ninjutsu you just used wasn't the Healing Palm Technique, was it?"

Orochimaru licked his lips and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Can you tell me how you just saved Nawaki-kun?"

"This is such a hassle..."

Chiba felt a chill run down his spine; he sensed a dangerous aura in Orochimaru's words.

Chiba knew that he had attracted Orochimaru's attention, and if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation that would satisfy the other party, he might be in danger!

.

.

(Timeline: The time of Nawaki's death is unclear; it is only known that it occurred in the early stages of the Second Shinobi World War.)

Due to plot requirements, the story has been moved to the current timeline, specifically the later stages of the Second Shinobi World War.

Chapter 4 The True Great Clans of Konoha

However, Chiba had anticipated Orochimaru's attention when he was treating Nawaki, so he was not flustered.

This is an acceptable price to pay in order to change one's fate.
