“Have you called a medical-nin?
With injuries this serious… hurry and call someone from the Medical Department!”
The Inuzuka Clan head immediately gave orders to the people below him.
A guard from the clan standing nearby quickly replied, “My lord, we’ve already sent someone to request medical help.
They should arrive soon.”
At that moment, a commotion sounded from outside.
Someone shouted loudly,
“The medical-nin is here!”
A ninja wearing a white doctor’s uniform walked in carrying a medical kit.
He briefly showed his identification.
“Hello.
I’m a ninja from Konoha’s Medical Department.”
“Quick, hurry and check my son!
See what happened to him!”
Inuzuka Yū immediately dragged the medical-nin to Inuzuka Hirono’s side.
The medical-nin frowned.
In the end, he said nothing.
He only dusted off his clothes with a slightly disgusted motion.
Then he opened his medical kit and began examining the patient lying on the bed.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the medical-nin.
After a long while, he finally finished the examination and stood up.
“How is my son?
Is his life in danger?”
Inuzuka Yū asked anxiously.
“Minor injuries.”
“Ah?
What?”
Inuzuka Yū could not help asking again.
For a moment, he thought something was wrong with his ears.
Everyone else in the room also felt as if they had misheard.
The person lying on the bed had clearly been pierced all over by a sharp weapon.
His entire body was covered in blood.
The scene looked so horrifying.
How could that possibly be considered a minor injury?
“They are indeed minor injuries,” the medical-nin said.
“Although the wounds on his body are all penetrating wounds, they are only flesh wounds.
None of his internal organs or major arteries were damaged.
Only some capillaries were injured.”
“Although there was quite a lot of bleeding, those capillaries have already closed on their own.”
“There isn’t much that needs treatment.
He just needs to rest properly at home.”
The medical-nin spoke calmly.
“Did you diagnose him wrong?
My son is injured this badly!
How can these be minor injuries?!”
Inuzuka Yū’s face was full of disbelief.
“If you think my diagnosis is wrong, you can find someone else to examine him.”
The medical-nin’s expression darkened, and his voice turned cold.
He packed up his medical kit, picked it up, and headed for the door.
No doctor would feel happy when their ability was questioned.
Because of that, he could not be bothered to say anything more.
He could tell from the clean, even cuts that the attacker had struck without the slightest hesitation.
The person must have been terrifyingly familiar with the human body.
At that moment, the only person he could think of was Lord Haruto from their Medical Department.
But the instant Lord Haruto’s name popped into his mind, even he froze for a second.
Then he laughed self-mockingly.
Lord Haruto was busy every day.
How could he possibly be bored enough to attack a genin child?
He had to be overthinking it.
Maybe it was some medical-nin from another country using an extremely advanced technique.
…
After the medical-nin left, Inuzuka Yū could not help asking,
“Brother, should we find another medical-nin?
I still feel that person’s words were unreliable.
My son is clearly injured so badly.”
The Inuzuka Clan head patted his younger brother on the shoulder and comforted him.
“Don’t worry too much for now.
That medical-nin had no reason to deceive us.
It seems Hirono really isn’t in any danger.”
Inuzuka Yū fell silent for a moment.
Then, gradually, a vicious glint appeared deep in his eyes.
“Brother… even if my son only suffered minor injuries, this matter absolutely cannot end here!
You must properly deal with the person who hurt him!”
A layer of coldness gradually filled the Inuzuka Clan head’s eyes as well.
He turned to his younger brother.
“Yū, who exactly did this?”
He frowned as he asked.
Inside Konoha, the Inuzuka Clan’s markings were so obvious.
And yet someone still dared deliberately injure his nephew like this.
Wasn’t that clearly showing that they did not put the Inuzuka Clan in their eyes at all?
At this point, Inuzuka Yū began wiping away tears and crying sorrowfully.
“Brother, it was all because of a brat in the village named Nohara Haruto.
My son only liked his younger sister, and that boy beat him into this state!”
“Nohara Haruto?”
The clan head snorted coldly.
“He really must have eaten the guts of a leopard.
He even dares bully someone from our Inuzuka Clan!”
A trace of killing intent spread through his eyes.
When the Inuzuka Clan head heard the surname Nohara, he immediately went through all the major clans in the village in his mind.
None of them had that surname.
In that case, this boy was probably just some civilian brat.
That made things much easier.
As long as he came from a civilian family, even if that boy already had the strength of a jōnin, daring to provoke a clan like theirs was no different from an egg striking a stone.
He would only end up smashed to pieces.
Only…
Why did the name Nohara Haruto sound a little familiar?
The Inuzuka Clan head frowned.
Still, an extra layer of caution rose in his heart.
He turned to his younger brother and asked,
“Yū, have you ever heard the name Nohara Haruto in Konoha?
Mm… why do I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before?”
“How could I have heard of such an ordinary name?” Inuzuka Yū replied with a trace of resentment in his voice.
“Maybe you heard some random nobody named Haruto before, so it sounds familiar.”
Inuzuka Yū felt that his older brother was simply too timid.
He was being this careful even when dealing with a civilian ninja.
Sensing the resentment in his younger brother’s tone, the Inuzuka Clan head also felt somewhat guilty toward him.
His son had been injured like this.
Naturally, he wanted justice for his son as soon as possible.
The Inuzuka Clan head placed a hand on his younger brother’s shoulder.
His gaze darkened, and his voice turned cold.
“Don’t worry.
I absolutely won’t let Hirono suffer this grievance for nothing.
I will report this matter to Lord Hokage and demand justice for him!”
Inuzuka Yū’s eyes burned with anger.
He gnashed his teeth and said,
“Brother, the medical-nin diagnosed him with minor injuries.
If you report this to Lord Hokage, Lord Hokage will definitely turn a big matter into a small one, then turn the small one into nothing.”
“Then my son will have suffered all this for nothing.”
“Why don’t we act in secret instead…?
That brat must pay a sufficient price for this!”
The Inuzuka Clan head fell silent and did not give an answer.
Secretly attacking someone inside Konoha…
If they were discovered, that would truly cross the Hokage’s bottom line.
He still needed to think carefully about this matter.
Seeing the hesitation on his older brother’s face, Inuzuka Yū clenched his fists.
Blue veins bulged along his arms, and his expression became somewhat ferocious.
A sinister glint flashed through his eyes.
His brother really was too indecisive.
Back then, the position of clan head should have belonged to him!
If his brother could not make up his mind to act, then he would act personally.
The hatred of his son being injured like this…
There was no way he would simply let it go.
