Chapter 63: Reversal Technique

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Reversal Technique

As soon as these words were spoken, Hatake Sakumo—who had been frowning at Uchiha Xuan’s rude remarks—underwent a change in expression. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tsunade, then at Uchiha Xuan, before finally settling his gaze on his wife.

Suddenly, he found himself unable to speak.

Was it because of excitement? His wife... could she be saved?

He was afraid that speaking might shatter this dream-like scenario. After all, he knew his wife’s condition all too well.

"Short-lived"—that was the verdict given by every doctor who had examined her before. Yet now... a young Uchiha boy was telling him his wife could be saved. ℯℯ𝘭.

"Xuan, are you serious? You haven’t even examined Nadeshiko’s condition. Though I haven’t either, judging by Nadeshiko’s complexion, her body is almost completely depleted."

Seeing the couple rendered speechless, Tsunade nervously tapped Uchiha Xuan’s arm with her finger and whispered.

She could tell that Uchiha Xuan’s words had ignited a spark of hope in the couple.

If this was just a joke by Uchiha Xuan...

"Xuan... Xuan-kun, my wife... really..."

After a moment, Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, stepped forward, knelt before Uchiha Xuan, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Her body suffers from congenital multi-organ failure. Because it cannot maintain normal physiological functions, she appears so weak.

Now, she is pregnant, placing an even greater burden on her already fragile body. Under normal circumstances, once she gives birth to this child, she will die shortly after.

However, extending her life isn’t difficult. One method is to replace all her failing organs, but that’s too troublesome and comes with severe side effects. So, I choose a more convenient medical approach."

Looking at Hatake Sakumo kneeling before him, Uchiha Xuan raised an eyebrow and spoke softly.

For some reason, Uchiha Xuan didn’t particularly like Hatake Sakumo’s adherence to the samurai spirit.

"Organ failure? Let me see."

Beside them, Tsunade frowned deeply upon hearing this. She strode over to Nadeshiko, took her hand, and closed her eyes. After a moment, she opened her eyes with a grim expression.

"Nadeshiko’s physical condition is exactly as Xuan described. Sakumo-senpai, why is Nadeshiko..."

"It’s sepsis..."

Hatake Sakumo lowered his head, his voice heavy.

"Infection?? Nadeshiko isn’t a ninja. How did she... never mind, that’s not important. Xuan, can you save her?"

Tsunade was taken aback. She glanced at Nadeshiko, who was hanging her head, then at Hatake Sakumo, who looked somber, before finally turning to Uchiha Xuan, who stood calmly nearby.

"I never lie. I said from the beginning that I could save her. It’s just that the three of you were so engrossed in your awkward little drama that I didn’t bother interrupting."

Uchiha Xuan rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Now’s not the time for eye-rolling. But how do we treat this?"

Seeing this, Tsunade slapped Uchiha Xuan on the shoulder and asked curiously.

Regarding Nadeshiko’s physical condition, even she was powerless. Even if they were to replace Nadeshiko’s organs, it wouldn’t be a simple matter.

After all, not all organs could be casually replaced without considering compatibility.

"It’s simple—just restore her failing organs. Don’t spread this around. I hate trouble."

Uchiha Xuan raised his hand to brush off Tsunade’s hand from his shoulder, then stepped forward to stand before Nadeshiko. He gently extended a finger and lightly touched her forehead.

In the next moment, before Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo could react, a faint golden light began to slowly surge within the room.

Pure positive reversal energy gathered at Uchiha Xuan’s fingertip. Yin Release Chakra, fused with his Ocular Power, was rapidly transformed into another kind of power.

Within Nadeshiko’s body, a warm, glowing white light flowed like a stream of stars, gently covering the various organs that had already festered and deteriorated. At the same time, specks of flowing light seeped into the tiny embryo inside Nadeshiko.

The once gruesome, decaying flesh slowly contracted and healed under the immersion of the golden light. Shattered meridians were reconnected by the energy of life, and the darkened, necrotic tissues gradually shed their gloom, restoring to a vibrant, fleshy hue.

Nadeshiko’s body was rapidly "renewing." This was the effect of the life essence transformed through the principle of "negative times negative equals positive."

As the radiance at Uchiha Xuan’s fingertip dimmed, the perpetual weariness on Nadeshiko’s face slowly eased. Her exhaustion visibly receded—this was the gentlest and most miraculous power of the Reversal Technique.

Beside them, watching Nadeshiko’s gradually rosy complexion, Hatake Sakumo didn’t even dare to breathe, fearing he might disturb Uchiha Xuan’s treatment of Nadeshiko.

"Done."

The golden light faded. Uchiha Xuan calmly withdrew his hand and spoke softly.

Behind him, Tsunade was utterly stunned.

As Konohagakure’s former strongest Medical Ninja, Uchiha Xuan’s move had completely overturned her previous understanding of the limits of Medical Ninjutsu.

’That technique Xuan mentioned... it really seems feasible...’

For a moment, Tsunade’s mind raced, and a technique that could complement Sett’s Technique gradually took shape.

"Nadeshiko... how do you feel now?"

Beside them, Hatake Sakumo quickly walked up to Nadeshiko, gently supporting her shoulders as he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"Sakumo, I feel so light, lighter than ever before. Perhaps... I can watch our child grow up."

Nadeshiko smiled softly and placed her hand on her abdomen.

Seeing this, Tsunade’s eyes flashed with a hint of envy before she glanced at Uchiha Xuan. Seeing his lack of reaction, she curled her lips and grabbed his arm.

"???"

Looking at Tsunade, who had suddenly grabbed him, Uchiha Xuan was somewhat puzzled.

"Let’s go. Let Sakumo-senpai and Nadeshiko have a proper talk."

Seeing Uchiha Xuan’s confused expression, Tsunade spoke with a hint of annoyance. After saying this, she dragged Uchiha Xuan out of the room and into the living room.

...

In the living room.

"Well, this outcome is really good. Sakumo-senpai has always been deeply sentimental, so he must be very happy that Nadeshiko is alright."

"By the way, kid, that technique you just used... never mind, it’s your business. But listen, you absolutely must not display that technique in public, understand?"

"Actually, you should have discussed it with me before deciding whether to save Nadeshiko. Although Sakumo-senpai... given his character, he probably won’t say anything, but he is still an outsider after all. Tch, what a troublesome matter. I feel like I’ll have to ask Granny for help."

Looking toward the room where Hatake Sakumo and Nadeshiko were, Tsunade smiled softly and spoke in a low voice, then turned to face Uchiha Xuan with a serious expression.
