Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Nara Shikaku saw Bai Mingyu's intention at a glance, smiled, and rubbed the heads of the three people casually: "Although I know that you are in a very anxious mood, I am sorry that there are too many things to deal with in the village these days. After these two days of busy work, I will call you over to discuss the future path. You can also take advantage of this time to relax. After all, you have not had a good rest since you came back from the Kingdom of Water. Three Inch Human World.yanqingshu."

After a pause, Nara Shikaku looked at Bai Mingyu: "Also, Bai Yu, please stay here for a while, I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu frowned slightly, feeling a little bad in his heart.

……

Half an hour later, in front of the gate of Konoha Hospital.

Bai Mingyu stopped in front of this tall building, walked through the door and walked in.

The last thing Nara Shikaku mentioned to him was about Kimimaro.

Before Bai Mingyu and Izumi set off for the Snow Country, Kimimaro was taken away by Konoha Hospital, saying that he wanted to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to check the cause of the blood disease of the Kaguya clan. This effort was as Bai Mingyu had guessed in advance. , and did not achieve much results. Konoha Hospital used some medical ninjutsu and instruments to detect something from Kimimaro's body, but they were still at a loss as to how to cure his blood disease.

"The chief physician of the child named Kimimaro at Konoha Hospital is a medical nin named Takamoto Shizuka. You can learn the specific situation from her. In fact, I don't know much about medical things. If If you want to hear a more detailed explanation, go to Dr. Longben, I have already told her about you."

"But you don't have to worry too much. Konoha has a complete medical system. Even if the child's blood disease cannot be cured, there will be no problem at least mitigating it."

Nara Shikaku said this to Bai Mingyu.

"Yeah……"

Bai Mingyu was noncommittal about this.

He actually didn't know much about the blood disease of the Kaguya clan. In the original Naruto novel, this only existed as a background setting, but if he thought about it carefully, there were actually many doubts -

Kimimaro's lifespan is very short. In the original work, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he appeared in the Sasuke Recapture Chapter. At that time, Kimimaro was actually in a terminally ill state, and he could only survive from the hospital bed with the support of his mental strength. He stood up, finished the final battle with Gaara and immediately fell ill and died. Calculating this...

Kimimaro's hematuria may have started quite early, with signs showing up at least at the age of ten, or even before that.

So……

If all Kaguya clan members were like this, then the surname Kaguya should have been extinct long ago, and it would be impossible for them to survive from the Warring States Period.

Since they can survive for such a long time, it shows that not all clan members will have a short life due to the existence of blood disease.

In Bai Mingyu's view, there are two possible reasons for this situation:

First, the blood diseases of other tribesmen may not be as bad as Kimimaro's, because their corpse veins have not been developed to the level of Kimimaro.

Just like the relationship between the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the Mangekyo Sharingan, overuse of the former will only bring mental fatigue to the user, but the power of the latter is obtained at the cost of blindness. Every time it is used, it will affect the user's eyesight. Cause irreparable damage. Corpse bone veins may also have this characteristic. The higher the degree of development, the greater the burden the body will bear.

Secondly, the Kaguya clan probably already has a method to treat the blood disease, or at least suppress the pain, allowing them to use the ability of corpse veins at a lower cost.

However, Kimimaro, who had been imprisoned in a dungeon since he was a child, was not informed of this method by his tribe. Therefore, after the destruction of the Kaguya clan, Kimimaro was continuously eroded by the blood disease, which directly led to early death in his teenage years. die.

This possibility is not impossible, because the original Kabuto once said that if the complete case of the Kaguya clan was obtained, it would be possible to find a way to cure Kimimaro.

"Maybe..."

There are two situations, which is the most troublesome.

At the front desk of Konoha Hospital, Bai Mingyu knocked on the window: "Hello, is Dr. Takamoto Shizuka here? I am a friend of the patient Kimimaro, and I would like to find Dr. Takamoto to learn about his condition."

"please wait for a moment."

In an office on the second floor of the hospital, Bai Mingyu met Kimimaro's chief physician, Shizuka Takamoto.

The latter is a young female ninja in her thirties. Being able to become a medical ninja at Konoha Hospital at this age obviously has good medical ninjutsu talent. After confirming Bai Mingyu's identity as a ninja, Takamoto Shizuka spread out a medical record and handed it to Bai Mingyu. There was a photo of Kimimaro in the right corner of the first page.

"This is the case report of the child named Kimimaro. In principle, it cannot be disclosed to others casually, but since Mr. Shikaku has already guaranteed it in advance, I will make an exception and show it to you."

Case reports should of course be kept confidential.

Especially since the patient is the only remaining orphan of the Kaguya clan, it stands to reason that the physical examination data conducted by Konoha Hospital on Kimimaro are secret information that needs to be sealed.

However, Kimimaro has no relatives or friends in Konoha, and Bai Mingyu can barely be regarded as half of his guardian, so it is not a violation to show these records and reports to him.

"Based on the information about the Kaguya clan that we have in the village, as well as the various inspections we have done on Kimimaro during this period, we can basically confirm something."

Shizuka Takamoto pointed at the medical record form and talked:

"The corpse bone veins of the Kaguya clan are the ability to freely manipulate bones throughout the body to defend or attack. As long as it is related to [bone], such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, calcium concentration, etc., They can be manipulated without restriction, so bones can be formed, broken down, or kept hardened as desired."

"All in all, it is a very powerful blood inheritance limit, but perhaps because of this, it is also accompanied by some inevitable flaws."

"Osteocalcin is a protein secreted by bone bud cells that form bones. Most of it is deposited in bones, accounting for about 0.4% of bones. It will penetrate into the blood of the human body when bones grow, causing Whole body energy metabolism becomes more active, perhaps because of the bone veins. The osteocalcin content in Kimimaro's blood is about four times that of ordinary people, and the content of several other substances related to bone resorption is also higher than that of ordinary people. These abnormalities We haven’t studied clearly what impact the indicators will have on the body, but one thing can be confirmed..."

Shizuka Takamoto flipped through the medical record, pointing to a picture of a full body of bones marked with dense words and said:

"The bone resorption behavior in Kimimaro's body is significantly different from that of most normal people, and bone resorption is an important part of bone reconstruction. This abnormality may lead to symptoms of osteoporosis, although it has no initial impact on the body. Large, but once it accumulates over many years, it is likely to cause a series of complications related to bone tissue..."

"..."

Bai Mingyu said he didn't understand.
