Chapter 581

"This is Nagato, the controller of the Deva Path."

Konan briefly introduced Nagato to Su Xiao, without mentioning some classified information.

"Oh? This is the true leader?"

"In a sense, yes. We'll talk about the specific situation later. Do you have a way to save Nagato?"

Just as Konan was speaking, Nagato slowly woke up. He was stunned to see Su Xiao in the room, and then thought of something.

"Bai Ye, you've come. Seeing me in such a sorry state, are you a bit disappointed?"

Nagato let out a long sigh of relief.

"Quite the opposite. I don't need to know your secrets; you only need to promise me one thing, and afterward, I will do my best to help you treat your injuries."

"What thing?"

"Destroy Konoha."

Nagato was slightly surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"If I weren't injured, after Itachi died, I would have gone to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails immediately, and by the way, destroy that ninja village that seems peaceful but actually builds its happiness on the pain of others, letting them also experience pain—the pain of losing loved ones, the pain of being displaced."

"Then I can't let you die even more. Leader, your name is Nagato?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

Nagato suddenly began to cough dryly, seemingly having signs of falling into a coma again.

Su Xiao walked up quickly and probed Nagato's aura; the aura was very weak, like an old man in the twilight of his years.

"Let him lie flat."

Su Xiao tried to detach Nagato from the control console, but Nagato was firmly fixed to it.

Konan walked up and skillfully detached Nagato from the control console.

"Nagato, he can't lie flat..."

Nagato's back was covered with black metal rods. There were dozens of them, dense and packed; this was a hidden danger left behind when Nagato used forbidden jutsu in his youth.

"Is there an operating room here?"

"Yes, but..."

Konan was somewhat worried. It went without saying that saving Nagato would require extreme measures.

"Take him to the operating room, now."

Su Xiao's tone was firm. Whether he could save Nagato, he wasn't sure, just trying to save a dead horse as if it were alive. He didn't want the mission to fail; the penalty of -8 to all attributes was too tragic.

Konan helped Nagato into the best-equipped operating room in the Rain Village. Su Xiao took paper and pen and wrote down a pile of materials.

"Find materials with these properties; you must find them."

"It's somewhat difficult..."

"You must find them within ten hours; otherwise, I cannot save Nagato's life."

"Understood."

Konan walked away quickly. Su Xiao took out a bottle of potion with some heartache; it was exactly the No. 1 Potion.

After diluting the No. 1 Potion and putting it into a large glass bottle, Su Xiao took a thin catheter to help Nagato with an IV drip.

The No. 1 Potion slowly merged into Nagato's blood. Nagato's pale face regained some blood color, and a moment later, he woke up.

"It seems you saved me once."

Nagato had just been on the verge of suffocation.

"Whether I can save you, I'm not sure, just doing my best. Don't forget about Konoha."

"As long as I am alive, I will definitely go to Konoha. For the sake of some people who have passed away, I must go."

Su Xiao knocked on the metal rods behind Nagato.

"Can these things be removed?"

"Impossible. This is a signal receiver; it is related to my ability."

"Must so many metal rods exist simultaneously?"

"No, three are enough, but these metal rods are inserted into my organs and spine, and cannot be removed."

"In other words, as long as the weight of three rods is left on your body, any part will do? These things are seriously affecting the surgery now."

"It can be done, but if I rashly remove these metal rods, I will die."

"Understood. If Konan can find those materials, I have a 30% chance of saving your life."

Nagato stopped talking and began to close his eyes and sleep. He hadn't rested for a moment in days. Coma and sleep were different; Nagato hadn't dared to sleep before. Once he relaxed, he might die.

After Nagato fell asleep, Su Xiao examined the rotted area on Nagato's chest, where something was squirming inside.

"Parasite? No, it's more like some kind of insect specifically cultivated to destroy human body functions."

Su Xiao guessed that this must have been done by a contractor; Jiraiya didn't have such vicious abilities.

Konan didn't make Su Xiao wait for ten hours. Four hours later, Konan, stained with blood, returned, with a bandage wrapped around her fair neck.

"Are these things okay?"

Konan was very weak, and the bandage on her neck was stained red as she spoke.

Su Xiao checked the properties of the materials, and after a long time, he nodded.

"They are."

Su Xiao walked into the operating room with the materials, and Konan breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you can still hold on, be my assistant."

"Okay."

Konan also entered the operating room. Before entering, Konan left a few pieces of paper at the door as a warning.

In the operating room.

Su Xiao took out several items from his storage space and walked to a wooden table, placing a large number of test tubes, beakers, etc., on it.

Crushing and peeling the plants or materials Konan found, an hour later, dozens of solutions were placed in front of Su Xiao.

Mixing various materials, during which Su Xiao also took out Karin's blood for purification. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the solution of diluted Hashirama cells.

Pouring dozens of solutions into a thick test tube one by one, Su Xiao held the thick test tube with one hand, his mana consuming rapidly. He was stabilizing the changes in the solution within the test tube.

Glug, glug~

A string of bubbles rose from the test tube. Su Xiao felt the amount was not enough, so he directly dripped a drop of original Hashirama cells into it.

"Nagato is of the Uzumaki clan and has been transplanted with the Rinnegan; he should be able to withstand this thing, hopefully."

Su Xiao had created the strongest recovery potion he had ever seen, but this thing was extremely dangerous.

【Unnamed Potion】

Origin: Naruto

Quality: Dark Purple

Type: Recovery Item (Semi-finished), Material.

Effect: When used, restores 130~190 health points per second and quickly restores body injuries. The effect and duration are determined by the amount drunk or injected.

Hint: This potion is a semi-finished product, and the risk of use is extremely high. There is a 20% chance of woodification, a 15% chance of backlash from the Uzumaki bloodline, a 17% chance of backlash from Hashirama cells, and a 10% chance of instant death.

Rating: 260

Introduction: This must have been made by a crazy alchemist. Please stay away from him as soon as possible; you might become his test subject!

Su Xiao held the thick test tube. The potion inside was about 700 milliliters, a considerable amount. If Nagato didn't have the constitution of the Uzumaki clan plus the Rinnegan, he would die within ten seconds of injecting this thing.

"Put it into the IV bottle."

Su Xiao handed the test tube to Konan. Konan didn't know what this was, but she could only do as told.

Su Xiao took out a syringe, flicked it, and the bubbles inside rose, which he pushed out of the syringe.

Aiming at Nagato's spine at the waist, he pierced it. Nagato's brows furrowed.

After a long time, Su Xiao patted Nagato's arm.

"Do you have sensation?"

"Yes."

Su Xiao took a scalpel and made a shallow wound on Nagato's arm.

"What does it feel like?"

"Something cut me. Did you inject me with an anesthetic?"

"Of course, but the amount is not enough yet."

Su Xiao continued to inject anesthetic into Nagato's body. Nagato's eyes narrowed, seemingly having signs of falling into a coma.

Konan put the potent medicine into the IV bottle and prepared the IV tube. Su Xiao took the needle and pierced it into Nagato's vein, fixing it with tape. The potent medicine was injected into Nagato's body, and the wound on Nagato's arm healed instantly.

"Then, let's begin. Nagato is already asleep; he won't mind if it's a bit rough."

Su Xiao put on disposable rubber gloves, flexed his five fingers, and a smile appeared on his face.

Grabbing the metal rods behind Nagato, he pulled one out directly, simple and rough.

Splat, blood splattered, just happening to splash on Konan's face.

Konan's mouth opened and closed, but she could only watch.

Konan's chest was not small, conservatively estimated at D, but she was definitely not a woman who was all chest and no brain. She clearly knew Nagato's life was hanging by a thread; rather than waiting for death, it was better to give it a try.

Thanks to the alliance leader "It's Not Hard to Eat on Time" for the tip. Brother, add me on QQ, let's talk privately, meow?
