Atsuko's question

Looking at Atsuko, Samato pondered the situation.

"Apparently after losing to Ame, Baru came across Atsuko's team on his way to the clan and decided to take out his anger on them."

- In general, from what I learned from the commander of the group who came after Baru, he has quite serious misunderstandings with the head of the clan. I don't know what this Uchiha is counting on at all, coming into conflict with his strength.

- Maybe he's hiding something, and this aggressive chakra absorbing Atsuko's chakra channels is the result. Uncle, gather as much information as possible, it's very important.

Looking thoughtfully at his nephew and the unconscious Atsuko, Ame nodded.

- I understand that this chakra can really be quite dangerous, it took me a good look to notice it at all… What are you going to do with Atsuko?

- If do not extract this chakra, then over time it will begin to destroy more and more chakra channels, causing incredible pain. I think it would be better to try to get rid of it. At least this way there will be a chance that he will survive.

Frowning, Ame muttered discontentedly.

- Can I call Hanshi-sama?

After being silent for a second, Samato thought about the answer and nodded.

- Of course, without him, I still can't do anything. Although his presence will only slightly increase the chances of success.

- Well, at least something… Oh, yes, I was able to collect what you asked for, though due to time constraints here a little.

- Ah? Kha, what kind of samples?

After falling silent, Ame remembered about another person present in the ward. Looking at him, the man feigned a faint smile and said.

- Harumo, didn't I tell you not to eavesdrop on conversations.

Looking at Ame as if he was an idiot, Harumo muttered resentfully to himself.

- But what should I do, I can't get out of here.

...

- Yes, yes, the situation is really quite problematic. There is a high probability that he will die or fall into a vegetative state when trying to remove this chakra from the chakra channels.

Standing in front of the unconscious Atsuko, Hanshi carefully examined him. The man's hands, attached to the patient's head, were embraced by a reddish chakra, making it clear that he was using an energy sensor.

The room itself, in which he was located, looked like an operating room with a bed in the center and medical supplies lying nearby on a stand. Besides the medicine elder, there were two other people present in the room. One of them was a seven-year-old boy with a calm expression on his face, who thoughtfully looked at the man lying on the bed. The last person in the room was a middle-aged Hyuga man, looking at Hanshi seriously in anticipation. The boy, who was silent in thought, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

- Father, do you think it's worth telling Atsuko or the other elders about this?

Interrupted from the examination and deactivated the technique, Hanshi looked at his son.

- Hmm, I don't know, I still don't understand what kind of chakra it is. What do you think?

- This chakra is quite interesting and I already have several assumptions about where it came from. I think it is not necessary to inform others about this and perform an operation. If we report this and he dies, then that group of elders may have the opportunity to pressure me.

After listening to his son, Hanshi frowned and holding his chin thoughtfully spoke.

- Yes, yes, you're right, so far, you're a genius in the eyes of many clan members, but if something happens, it can easily be taken advantage of by destroying the picture. Eh, if an accident happens and Atsuko dies, then without warning the elders, we will be able to say what we need. And so, they can prepare the ground for censure.

Hansha's thoughts were interrupted by the calm voice of the third person in the room.

- Hanshi-dano, I agree that it's better not to tell the elders, but it would be better if we wake Atsuko up and inform him of his situation.

Stopping his thoughts, Hanshi caught himself and scratched his head.

- Yes, yes of course, it would be wrong if we started the operation without telling Atsuko everything. I was just thinking too much about the possible consequences for Samato.

Standing to the side, Samato looked strangely at the two men and thought to himself.

"Wouldn't it be more cruel if we woke him up and informed him that he might die soon? Well, I don't care, if everything goes well, maybe I'll get what I need. The main thing is to convince Hanshi."

...

Slowly regaining consciousness, Atsuko did not feel very well. From the moment genjutsu was put on him, he couldn't utter a phrase without stuttering. The situation was not improved by the slowly increasing headaches.

Opening his sleepy eyes, he was met by a bright light. Closing his eyes, he turned away. Opening his eyes again, he tried to look around sleepily through the light.

- I'm sorry, I'm going to turn off the light.

With a click, the light of the room disappeared, revealing the operating room. Seeing where he was, Atsuko became nervous after finally waking up. Looking in front of him, a familiar man's face caught his eye.

- Atsuko, I'm an elder of Hanshi medicine, nice to meet you.

After trying to get up from the bunk to pay his respects, Atsuko suddenly felt a new wave of headache and fell back on the bunk, clutching his head. Hanshi, who was standing next to him, approached and helped him get comfortable.

Having gratefully looked at the chief medical officer, the man sighed, trying to comfort the pain and, having examined the room more fully, saw two more people standing on the sidelines waiting. Meanwhile, Hanshi continued.

- You don't have to do that. I'm here because my son, while researching you, discovered a certain oddity. These headaches are the result of this problem and we woke you up to warn you about something.

Turning to Hanshi, Atsuko nervously asked.

- W-what do y-ou m-ean?

- I don't know how, but there is a strange chakra in your head that destroys your chakra channels and in order to get rid of it, you need to perform an operation. I'll tell you without reserve, the probability of survival are quite small, that's why we woke you up.

- Eh?

Slowly turning over Hanshi's words, Atsuko couldn't understand anything. But his thoughts were interrupted by a new wave of pain.

- If you don't have surgery, then your headaches will increase exponentially.

Clutching his head, Atsuko looked at Hanshi.

- S-stro-nger? Can yo-u h-elp m-me?

- Yes, but the shantz is small, so we woke you up to ask about your needs. Is there something you need to do?

After thinking for a while, Atsuko shook his head with a frown of pain on his face.

- T-the-re i-s no-thi-ng! P-leas-e hel-p m-me!

Sighing sadly, Hanshi nodded.

- Good, good. Don't worry, Samato and I will do everything we can.

Going to the table and taking a syringe, he injected it into Atsuko's arm, who after a while fell asleep. Standing with a calm face, Samato, looking at the patient's head with the help of a byakugan, spoke.

- Apparently because of our actions, the aggressive chakra has become more active. I've already started seeing her.
