Three days later.
Tsunade had just finished her grueling morning training and was wiping away sweat.
A figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
It was an Anbu.
“Lady Tsunade!
An urgent mission from the Hokage-sama, it’s very pressing!” “An urgent mission?” Tsunade’s eyes lit up as she draped her towel over her shoulder.
“The old man is pretty good!
A mission already, so soon!” “What kind of mission?” she asked, wondering what kind of “special mission” it might be.
Settling disputes?
Guiding training?
Or organizing women’s activities?
The voice behind the Anbu mask sounded anxious.
“I’m not sure of the specifics, but it likely requires your Medical Ninjutsu.
The Third Hokage wants you to go see him first.” “Medical treatment?” Tsunade immediately perked up.
As a Medical Ninja, treating women from ninja clans was an excellent entry point!
Moreover, during this time, she had been cramming a lot of knowledge about Medical Ninjutsu.
Combining her own talent with the memories of the original body, she might not be at the same level as the original Tsunade, but she wasn’t far off.
“Wait a moment, I need to change my clothes!
It’ll be quick!” “Lady Tsunade, please hurry!
It’s really urgent!” the Anbu urged anxiously.
Tsunade ignored him and turned to go into the house.
Since she was going to “battle,” how could she not put on her “battle gear”?
Two minutes later, Tsunade came out.
She was wearing a standard dark blue and white-trimmed Medical Ninja outfit.
Nurse-outfit Tsunade~ After thinking for a moment, she went back inside and grabbed a white coat to put on over it.
It looked even more professional!
“Let’s go!” The two of them quickly rushed toward the Hokage Building.
Arriving at the Hokage Office.
Tsunade pushed the door open with a “bang” and walked in.
“Old man, what’s the mission?” she asked excitedly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed the Anbu and closed the door, his expression exceptionally grave.
He took a puff of his pipe and said slowly: “Hyuga Hoshina is currently having a difficult birth, and the situation is very dangerous.” “The Hyuga Clan’s Medical Ninja have already done their best, but…
the baby is stuck, and both mother and child are in great danger.” He looked at Tsunade, his eyes solemn.
“Are you confident you can handle this?” “Hyuga Hoshina?
The Hyuga Clan leader’s wife?” Tsunade paused, memories surfacing in her mind.
Hyuga Hoshina, the wife of the current leader of the Hyuga Clan.
She was gentle and virtuous, and had a good reputation among the women of Konoha.
At the same time, she understood Hiruzen Sarutobi’s concerns.
If it were a common injury or illness, he might have ordered Tsunade to go directly.
But this was a difficult birth!
If it went well, everyone would be happy.
Tsunade would gain the friendship of the Hyuga Clan.
If it went wrong, both mother and child could die!
The friendship would instantly turn into hatred!
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn’t dare to let Tsunade wade into these muddy waters lightly; this was a test to probe her capabilities beforehand.
Realizing this, Tsunade immediately perked up!
“No problem!
I have experience with this!
I’ll go right now!” She wasn’t lying about that.
In her previous life, a very close female friend had gotten pregnant secretly and was afraid to go to the hospital.
She, as her best male friend, had accompanied her the entire time.
She had learned a vast amount of midwifery knowledge online and personally delivered the baby.
Although it was a difficult birth, in the end, both mother and child were safe.
Combined with the innate Medical Ninjutsu talent of this current body, she was confident!
Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Tsunade’s eager demeanor, his brow furrowing even deeper.
“Tsunade, you must think this through.” “In matters like this, not acting means no mistakes.
But if you act and don’t succeed…” He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Tsunade nodded heavily.
“Don’t worry, old man, I know what I’m doing.” She dropped this sentence and turned to run.
Leaving the Hokage Building, Tsunade sprinted all the way toward the Hyuga Clan’s compound.
Her mind was spinning: “Although the original work didn’t mention the relationship between Tsunade and the Hyuga Clan, it should be pretty good, right?” “If nothing unexpected happens, this should go smoothly?” “And there doesn’t seem to be any negative information about this.” Tsunade shook her head, stopping herself from overthinking.
She would just have to see the situation for herself!
Arriving at the Hyuga Clan compound, the outside was already crowded with anxious Hyuga clansmen.
Men and women, old and young, were all gathered outside the main residence, their faces filled with worry.
From inside, faint cries of pain could be heard, which were heart-wrenching.
“Make way!
Make way!
Lady Tsunade is here!” the guiding Anbu shouted.
The crowd instantly parted to make a path.
The gazes of all the Hyuga clansmen fell squarely on Tsunade.
“It’s Tsunade!” “Lady Tsunade!
Please, you must save Lady Hoshina!” “We beg you!” “Lady Tsunade is here, Hoshina is saved!” Voices of excitement, anticipation, and pleading rose one after another.
Although Tsunade didn’t yet have the title of one of the “Sannin,” her Medical Ninjutsu was recognized as the best in Konoha.
Seeing her appear, everyone felt as if they had found a pillar of support.
Tsunade didn’t waste any words; she just nodded at everyone and strode into the main residence.
Hyuga Munekazu, the Hyuga Clan leader.
A middle-aged man with a stern face, whose eyes were now red, hurried over to greet her.
“Tsunade, I’m begging you!” His voice was trembling.
Tsunade nodded heavily.
“Leave it to me.” Having said that, she pushed open the door to the delivery room and walked in.
As soon as she entered, a thick smell of blood hit her.
In the room, several female Medical Ninja from the Hyuga Clan were busy around the bed, but every face was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
A woman was lying on the bed.
It was Hyuga Hoshina.
She looked to be about thirty years old.
Her features should have been beautiful, but at this moment, her face was as pale as paper, and she was covered in sweat.
Her hair was damp and stuck to her face and neck.
She was groaning in pain, her legs propped up.
The sheet beneath her was already soaked with a large patch of blood.
Several Medical Ninja were trying to stop the bleeding using the Mystical Palm Technique, but the effect was minimal.
Even worse…
Tsunade’s gaze fell on Hoshina’s highly distended abdomen.
The skin there was stretched tight; one could even see the outline of the struggling fetus inside.
But the fetus’s position was clearly wrong.
“Lady Tsunade!” A slightly older Hyuga female Medical Ninja saw Tsunade as if she had seen a savior.
“Lady Hoshina has a malpresentation; the baby is in a transverse position and is stuck!” “We’ve tried several times, but we can’t turn it.” “The bleeding is too severe; if this continues, both the lady and the child will…” She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
Tsunade’s heart sank instantly.
She hurried to the bedside, reached out and pressed on Hoshina’s abdomen, slowly letting her Chakra seep in.
The condition she perceived made her expression even worse.
The fetus was indeed in a transverse position, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck.
Hoshina’s uterus had begun to show signs of rupture due to prolonged uterine inertia.
There was more than one bleeding point.
The situation was far worse than she had anticipated!
“Damn it…” Tsunade cursed under her breath.
Although her best friend in her previous life had also had a difficult birth, it was nowhere near this severe.
This was practically dancing on the edge of the gates of hell!
“Tsunade…
save my child…” Hoshina opened her eyes weakly, looking at Tsunade, her eyes full of pleading.
Her hand lifted weakly, as if trying to grab something.
Tsunade grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice: “Don’t speak, save your strength.” “I will do my best.” She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Various plans flashed through her mind rapidly.
A Cesarean section?
Did the Ninja World have C-section technology in this era?
Even if it did, with current medical conditions, the risk of infection was too high.
Moreover, Hoshina was currently hemorrhaging and couldn’t withstand an abdominal surgery.
Then there was only one way left—to forcibly reach in with her hand and turn the fetus into the correct position!
Then use Medical Ninjutsu to forcibly stop the bleeding and assist in the delivery!
“All of you, step back.” Tsunade said to the Hyuga Medical Ninja.
“Maintain the Mystical Palm Technique; don’t let the bleeding worsen.” “Yes!” The several Medical Ninja hurriedly complied.
Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and quickly disinfected her hands with alcohol.
Then she looked at Hoshina.
“Lady Hoshina, it will be a bit painful next, you must endure it.” Hoshina nodded with difficulty.
Tsunade hesitated no longer and pressed her hands onto Hoshina’s abdomen again.
This time, her Chakra was more precise and penetrated deeper.
She had to first find the exact position of the fetus, and then…
use her hands to turn it!
This process was extremely dangerous.
Any slight carelessness could cause a complete rupture of the uterus or injure the fetus.
Both mother and child could die.
This was also why the others dared not act lightly.
If they didn’t do it well, the price was one they couldn’t bear.
But right now, she had no other choice.
“Hoo…” Tsunade closed her eyes, focusing entirely.
The green light of the Mystical Palm Technique flowed in her palms.
She had to maintain the bleeding control while performing the fetal position correction.
The demand for Chakra control was perversely high.
“Starting now,” she said in a low voice, and her hands began to exert force slowly…
