378. Chapter 370: The Reason for Senju Hashirama's Coma

Konoha Hospital.

In the intensive care unit, several doctors in white coats surrounded the hospital bed. Looking at the unconscious patient, they all frowned. After thinking for a long time, they shook their heads lightly and turned to leave the ward.

Outside the ward, Senju Tobirama and the others, who were waiting anxiously, saw the doctors come out and immediately surrounded them.

"Doctor, how is my brother?"

"Sigh..."

The lead doctor let out a long sigh, making Senju Tobirama and the others' hearts jump into their throats instantly.

"What's with the sighing? Speak if you have something to say!"

Uchiha Madara, on the side, glared and said sternly.

"Sorry, please forgive us for our shallow learning; we are unable to find the reason for the Hokage's coma."

The doctors looked at each other, seeing the powerlessness in each other's eyes. They had conducted systematic checks and found that Senju Hashirama's vital signs were very stable, as strong as an ox, but they had tried many methods and couldn't wake him up.

"Quacks!"

Uchiha Madara gritted his teeth, red light flashing in his eyes. The doctors in the room instantly felt their rectums tighten, breaking out in cold sweat, and then stammered to explain.

"The Hokage's physical condition is surprisingly good. Perhaps his brain nerves have been damaged..."

"Stop!"

Seeing that a medical dispute was about to happen, Senju Tobirama, who was frowning and thinking, reached out to stop Uchiha Madara, who was about to go berserk, and at the same time moved his eyes to the trembling doctors and said,

"Do you have any experts in this field here?"

Senju Tobirama also knew a little about the human nervous system, but he had only dealt with those who had lost their vital signs. He didn't dare to draw conclusions about Senju Hashirama's situation for the time being.

"Experts... it seems there really is one."

"Then why don't you call him over quickly?"

Uchiha Madara, hearing this, glared with his scarlet eyes and urged coldly.

"But..."

"But what? If Hashirama's illness is delayed, I'll wipe out his whole family on the spot!"

"..."

Uchiha Gin, who was lying like a corpse at home, received an invitation from the hospital to go for a consultation quickly, and it was stated that the matter was urgent. If he was negligent, the patient's family would wipe out his whole family.

Since it was a matter of life and death, Uchiha Gin didn't put on any airs. He rushed to the hospital as fast as he could. While saving the person, he also wanted to see which ignorant brat dared to speak so wildly. He wanted to see if he could make his father spank his butt.

"Ha~ Who was the one who just said they would wipe out my whole family?"

Uchiha Gin, wearing a white coat, walked into the ward yawning. His dead-fish eyes, which had no energy, hung on his face, his voice lazy and weak.

"Big... Big Cousin, why are you here?"

In the ward, Uchiha Madara, who had been waiting for a long time and whose anger was about to explode, saw the white coat walk in. He wanted to spray two sentences, but seeing that familiar curly hair, he instantly wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"Oh? Cousin, did you see the guy who said he would kill my whole family?"

"Is there? No, right!"

Facing Uchiha Gin's questioning, Uchiha Madara pretended to look around and spread his hands with an innocent face.

"Is that so? It seems they heard wrong~"

"Must be! If anyone dared to say that, I, Uchiha Madara, would be the first not to let them go!"

"Alright, at a time like this, you two be serious!"

Looking at the two brothers pretending to be stupid, Senju Tobirama tried hard to suppress the veins about to burst on his forehead. His scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Uchiha Gin and said,

"Isn't this curly-haired guy a gynecology expert?"

Senju Tobirama knew that Uchiha Gin had the title of "Gynecology Saint," and the doubt in his eyes didn't look fake.

"Mr. Gin has a wide range of interests and can be said to be proficient in everything."

The doctor following Uchiha Gin now had confidence and immediately spoke up to defend him.

"Really or fake?"

"Move aside. I heard Hashirama passed out. Let me see what's going on~"

On the way, Uchiha Gin learned some of the general situation and carefully read Senju Hashirama's various values. His body indeed had no damage, and his internal organs and other organs were functioning well.

And as the strongest man under the Six Paths, Senju Hashirama shouldn't be under any hypnotic genjutsu, so Uchiha Gin was very curious about what his situation was.

Uchiha Gin put his hands in his pockets and came to the hospital bed. Senju Hashirama on the bed had a peaceful face, and his breathing was very stable. At first glance, it looked like he was just sleeping.

"Tsk... Soul, huh?"

However, Uchiha Gin, who had extremely strong perception, discovered some clues on Senju Hashirama. He immediately reached out and pressed it on the other's forehead. Blue light shone slightly.

"Big Cousin, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Madara, who was staring at Uchiha Gin's movements without blinking, couldn't help but ask when he saw this scene.

"Shut up! He is checking Big Brother's brain."

Senju Tobirama, who was proficient in all kinds of escape techniques, keenly sensed the Yin-style power emanating from Uchiha Gin's hands and immediately shouted to stop him.

Looking at Uchiha Gin's movements with moving eyes, Senju Tobirama's brows furrowed again.

Is this guy really just a Jonin?

"Phew..."

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Gin slowly opened his eyes. The blue light in his hands gradually dissipated. After letting out a long sigh, his expression became very complex.

"Big Cousin! How is Hashirama?"

"No hope. Wait for death. Goodbye!"

"Huh?"

"Just kidding. I need to confirm again. You guys go out first, don't disturb me."

Seeing his cousin's serious look, Uchiha Gin shook his head and then signaled for a few people to go out and wait.

"I definitely won't speak. Just let me watch!"

"Get out! If you don't want Hashirama to really have an accident, then hurry up and get out."

Uchiha Gin's face rarely showed seriousness, his voice carrying a bit of coldness, and there was an inexplicable worry in his eyes.

This sudden change made Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama feel shocked at the same time. After looking at each other, they quickly turned and left the ward.

Outside the ward, Uchiha Madara, who had been thinking for a long time, raised his head with a bitter face and said to Senju Tobirama, who was frowning,

"I have never seen Big Cousin show that kind of expression..."

"It seems Big Brother's situation is indeed a bit serious."

Senju Tobirama, who felt the same way, nodded lightly. Judging from Uchiha Gin's performance just now, Senju Hashirama's situation was not optimistic.

"What to do... what to do..."

Uchiha Madara, who was becoming more and more panicked, began to pace back and forth in the corridor. How could he spend his days without Hashirama?

"So annoying. Can you stop shaking around here?"

Disturbed by Uchiha Madara's pacing, Senju Tobirama, who was also depressed, said coldly.

"By the way, didn't you research many human forbidden techniques? You must be able to save Hashirama, right?"

Uchiha Madara, like a headless fly, looked at Senju Tobirama, who had an unhappy face, and asked impatiently.

"Don't your Sharingan also have the ability to change reality?"

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes and asked back.

Although he had researched many forbidden techniques, they were all techniques that played with the souls of the dead. He really hadn't considered the resurrection of the dead. On the contrary, the Uchiha clan had a secret technique called Izanagi.

"Too late. If I had planted Izanagi on Hashirama earlier..."

Although Izanagi's effect was heaven-defying, it had strict limitations. Now that things had come to this, even if he performed this secret technique, he couldn't wake up Senju Hashirama, who had been in a coma for a long time.

Uchiha Madara was full of regret at this moment, not even considering that he would be permanently blind after performing Izanagi.

"Actually, there is one more way."

After a long silence, Senju Tobirama suddenly raised his head and looked at Uchiha Madara with burning eyes.

"What way!?"

Uchiha Madara, who was immersed in regret, widened his eyes in surprise and stared fixedly at Senju Tobirama.

"Desire Grand Prix."

Inside the ward, Uchiha Gin took off the seriousness on his face, took a pink lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and looked at Senju Hashirama, who was in a coma, with dead-fish eyes.

"So troublesome. Even though the winner hasn't been decided yet, how did he slip away?"

Scratching his head helplessly, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but complain.

"Could it be that he felt there was no hope of victory this time?"

Pulling a chair to sit at the head of Senju Hashirama's bed, Uchiha Gin touched his chin and began to speculate.

Just now, Uchiha Gin used super-strong perception on Senju Hashirama's brain, wanting to see what happened in his head.

As a result, as soon as he went in, he saw the other's originally strong consciousness lying there weakly, covered in holes as if leaking wind.

The part of Senju Hashirama's soul that belonged to Ashura's reincarnation chakra had actually disappeared. It looked like it should have run away to the Pure Land, waiting for the next reincarnation.

"Something's wrong! Something is very, very wrong!"

Logically, the two brothers who had fought for thousands of years in reincarnation shouldn't just admit defeat so easily. Although Uchiha Madara had the cheat he gave him, Senju Hashirama still had a great advantage now. If they really fought for their lives, his cousin might not necessarily be his opponent.

Knight vs. Ultraman~

"If this continues, Hashirama's vitality will start to be overdrawn."

Missing Ashura's reincarnation chakra, Senju Hashirama's vitality would immediately start to flow backward, used to supplement the missing soul power, and then maintain the balance of Yin and Yang in the body.

But the missing part of the soul was too huge. Even if Senju Hashirama's own vitality was vigorous, it couldn't completely fill this bottomless pit. In a few years, he would die because his vitality was exhausted.

"Sigh~ At a time like this, I have to rely on myself. This village will fall apart without me~"

Uchiha Gin, who had roughly analyzed the cause of the illness, had a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel." He reached into the bag behind him and fumbled for a while, took out a brown wooden armor of the same style as his cousin's, looked at the Berserker Armor that emitted surging vitality, and put it on Senju Hashirama.

"Mmm... mmm..."

He thought it would be a cure, but as soon as he equipped Senju Hashirama with the Berserker Armor, his sleeping face instantly flushed red, his body trembled violently as if he were having an epileptic seizure, and his mouth let out painful groans.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin quickly stripped off the Berserker Armor, and the painful expression on Senju Hashirama's face was relieved.

"Sorry, my bad~"

Uchiha Gin grinned with an apologetic face. He knew he had used too strong a medicine.

If it were normal times, the effect of the Berserker Armor would be like adding wings to a tiger for Senju Hashirama. But for him, whose soul was overly weak now, the Berserker Armor, which contained surging Yang-style power, was a deadly medicine.

The balance of Yin and Yang, which was slowly adjusting itself, was instantly shattered by the Berserker Armor. Under the impact of the strong vitality, Senju Hashirama's soul couldn't be repaired at all, but would only be blown up instantly, and then "bang," he would die.

"Since that's the case... then try this!"

Regretfully putting the Berserker Armor away, Uchiha Gin's eyes turned, and he fumbled at the bottom of the system backpack for a long time, finally taking out a necklace with a small green gemstone. Looking at the equipment in his hand that emitted faint vitality, he smiled satisfactorily.

Healing Orb 【Basic Vitality Recovery +100%】

Simple and unadorned attributes, simple but very practical.

After putting the Healing Orb necklace on Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Gin used super-strong perception again to probe his situation and found that the vitality that was slowly being consumed was offset by the healing effect of the orb.

Back and forth, it was equal to no consumption.

Done!

Uchiha Gin stretched. He had finally saved Hashirama's life. If there were no accidents, when his soul power was repaired and the Yin and Yang in his body reached a balance, he would naturally wake up.

"Now tell my cousin this good news~"

Standing up, Uchiha Gin paced to the door of the ward, just about to open the door, when he keenly heard the whispering of the two people outside the door.

Outside the door, Senju Tobirama, with a face as gloomy as water, arranged for Uchiha Madara, who was frowning,

"Do you understand? If the current means cannot wake up Big Brother, you can only try to save a dead horse as a living horse."

"I know. For Hashirama, I will go to participate in that so-called Knight War."

Regarding Senju Hashirama's life, Uchiha Madara didn't choose to continue fighting with Senju Tobirama, but nodded to accept this task.

"You not only have to participate, you must win!"

"Hmph~ You white-haired guy, who are you looking down on?"

"No, I'm not at ease letting you go alone. I will take Hiruzen with you."

Regarding the Uchiha, especially the non-curly-haired Uchiha, Senju Tobirama was still not at ease, so he decided to take his few confidant disciples to go and supervise the battle.

"I don't need you burdens. I can kill those weaklings alone."

"I am the Village Secretary. With the Hokage gone, I am the biggest. If you don't listen to me, you will definitely regret it!"

"Damn white-haired guy, I am also a Hokage!"

"Bang!"

"???"

Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama, who were arguing until their faces were red outside the ward, turned their heads in confusion, looking at Uchiha Gin, who had slammed the door open, their faces full of question marks.

"Nothing, you guys continue. I just feel that there is no soul in the 'bang' sound of the door in this formula~" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
