Chapter 583

"This is tricky."

Sweat seeped from Su Xiao's face. He had been concentrating for several hours.

Konan picked up the towel on the side to wipe away his sweat; sweat getting into his eyes would affect his surgery.

The cold royal sister Konan had turned into a little nurse. This was saving Nagato's life; as for the dignity of a powerhouse, Konan never cared about those.

"Grab this beetle."

Konan walked up, not knowing how to start for a moment. This beetle was indeed hard to handle.

"Left hand grab here, right hand grab here."

Su Xiao pointed out the position for Konan, and Konan held the beetle lightly with both hands.

"I don't believe you don't have a nervous system. The body can be symbiotic with the heart, but extracting the nervous system will definitely destroy this symbiotic relationship."

Su Xiao began to study this beetle. He had previously underestimated the intelligence of this thing. At this moment, the eyes wrapped in transparent film actually revealed a look of fear.

"This..."

Konan whispered softly. She also saw that this beetle was an intelligent creature, perhaps a type of summoning beast.

Su Xiao searched for a long time and finally found the beetle's neck. This little thing grew too randomly, and identifying the neck took Su Xiao half an hour, mainly because the beetle was curled into a ball, and he had to distinguish which side was the tail and which side was the neck.

Extracting the beetle's nerves had to be fast. It was unknown whether this thing was completely anesthetized; if it counterattacked before dying, it would be bad.

Su Xiao made an extremely shallow wound on the beetle, trying to avoid angering this thing. Pale green blood flowed out, and he used a disinfectant cotton ball to dip some of the beetle's blood.

Sizzle~

A corrosive sound came, and the worst situation appeared: this thing had acidic blood.

If this thing were violently decomposed, Nagato's heart would be corroded away.

With the effect of the potent medicine, it wouldn't matter if Nagato's heart had wounds, but if it were entirely corroded, there would be no way.

Su Xiao extended his arms and signaled Konan not to hold the beetle, but to take off his coat.

The coat was covered with Nagato's blood. Su Xiao was doing this just in case. If the beetle's blood splashed out, he could cut off the skin contaminated with acidic blood in time to avoid being implicated. No one knew if the beetle's blood was poisonous.

Su Xiao took off his disposable rubber gloves. Now life and death were in an instant. If he could instantly extract the beetle's nerves, Nagato would live; otherwise, Nagato would die. Acidic blood was no joke.

First clenching his fist, then letting go, Su Xiao repeated this action.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

The scalpel slashed forward, and a cold light flashed.

Su Xiao's two fingers probed toward the beetle's wound like lightning. With a swish, a "white line" was pulled out; this was the nerve that ran through the beetle's entire body.

Throwing down the nerve, Su Xiao inserted his fingers into the physiological saline on the side, diluting the acidic blood on his fingertips; only the skin was damaged.

The beetle's body slowly opened like a flower. Su Xiao took the beetle out and put it into the metal tray on the side.

Nagato's heart appeared before his eyes. If Su Xiao had the heart to kill, he could kill Nagato now.

Although the reward for killing Nagato was generous, that was an extremely foolish choice. -8 to all attributes was no joke. The charm that had finally reached the level of an ordinary person would become a negative number, and the main attributes would also be significantly reduced.

Thump, thump, thump~

Nagato's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and blood transported oxygen to the whole body.

After observing Nagato's various organs and confirming there was no problem, Su Xiao began the follow-up treatment, suturing a layer of the wound, removing the stitches after the wound healed, and continuing until the outermost layer of the wound was sutured.

When Su Xiao pulled out the last suture from Nagato's wound, his eyes were already full of bloodshot veins.

Nagato was wearing an oxygen mask and was in a coma, but the surgery wasn't over yet.

Su Xiao picked up four metal rods and instructed Konan to polish these four metal rods into several different shapes.

Konan's speed was very fast. In less than twenty minutes, according to Su Xiao's request, the four metal rods were decomposed into dozens of small pieces and polished into several different specifications.

According to Nagato, the weight of three rods was enough, but Su Xiao prepared four, the reason being to prevent part of the black metal from detaching from Nagato's body during battle.

Nagato was his "thug" in the near future; destroying Konoha still depended on this guy, so he must not lose his combat power.

Su Xiao began to "modify" Nagato, embedding black iron nails into his arms.

An hour later, Nagato's arms were embedded with two rows of black metal nails. The metal nails spread from above the wrist to the shoulder blade position, avoiding the joints that needed to move.

According to Su Xiao's plan, he originally wanted to put a nose ring on Nagato. This position that didn't affect combat was undoubtedly an "excellent" choice, but under Konan's "fierce resistance," the nose ring was changed to twelve black ear studs. Nagato didn't become a "minotaur."

Su Xiao secretly thought it was a pity. Imagine Nagato fighting with a black nose ring; that would be such a funny scene.

Bubu Wang on the side also felt it was a pity; it also wanted to see what that scene would be like.

Konan's cheeks twitched. She suddenly felt that this man and dog were not very reliable, although she was also curious about what Nagato would look like wearing a nose ring.

Thinking of this, Konan shook her head. The picture was too beautiful; she didn't dare to imagine it.

The surgery ended, and Nagato's body recovered in a rough way. Whether he could survive was still unknown.

This kind of surgery that went straight through from front to back was something only an "unlicensed doctor" like Su Xiao dared to do. If there wasn't that potent medicine, the blood loss alone would be fatal.

"Nagato... is he okay?"

Looking at Nagato lying flat on the operating table with steady breathing, the smile on Konan's face had never faded.

"Okay? There's only a 60% chance he can live. I did what I could; afterward, it depends on his will to survive and his constitution."

Su Xiao pulled out the needle on Nagato's arm. Although the potent medicine had amazing effects, once the side effects were triggered, Nagato would definitely die.

At this time, Nagato didn't need this thing anymore. The constitution of the Uzumaki clan was enough for Nagato to gradually regain vitality, so it wasn't worth the risk.

"When will he wake up?"

The smile on Konan's face had faded, and she looked at Nagato with worry.

"Not sure. It could be a few hours, a few days, or even a few months."

Su Xiao was only responsible for treating; whether he could recover was Nagato's business, which had nothing to do with him.

Ha~, yawning, Su Xiao walked out of the operating room and waved at Konan behind him.

"I'm going to sleep. If there's an emergency, go to the next room and call me."

Su Xiao walked into a ward next door and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. The surgery had exhausted his mind more than he had imagined.

Konoha Village, near the former Uchiha compound, in a prison.

Drip, drip.

The sound of dripping water came. The prison was dark and damp, and an atmosphere of despair permeated it. Even in Konoha, which looked bright on the outside, the prison environment was not much better than that of the Rain Village.

In the innermost cell, a little girl was curled up in the corner. If one listened carefully, one could hear the little girl muttering to herself.

"These bitches, keep chasing. Since the God Emperor Adventure Group has left, I'll hide in the Konoha prison. If they have the ability, come attack Konoha. I don't believe any contractor dares to attack Konoha."

Muttering for a while, the little girl suddenly thought of something.

"But calculating the time, Nagato seems to be attacking Konoha soon. Fortunately, the time is still ample; I can return in ten days."

The little girl took out a black ring. The ring was simple in appearance, just a finger ring.

A dark purple flow of color flashed on the black ring; it looked like a treasure at a glance. This was one of the Demon Hunter sets, the dream set for all melee fighters.

"For you, I was chased by three adventure groups. I don't know where the other two sets can be obtained."

Gulu in the cell let out a long sigh. Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, she unwrapped a candy and threw it into her mouth.
