Chapter 140: Electric Shock

Within the grounds exclusively belonging to the Uchiha clan.

At this very moment, the entire medical tent was eerily silent.

The previous murmurs and discussions regarding Toshiro's actions had vanished without a trace.

Nearly all the onlookers silently watched the two individuals who were working diligently, not making a sound to avoid disturbing them.

Even though what they were doing seemed to be in vain~

Buzz!

With the surge of Toshiro's chakra, Uchiha Akihiro's body arched high like a dead fish, then fell back weakly, repeatedly.

However, there wasn't the slightest response on the nearby heart rate monitor. Toshiro couldn't help but begin to doubt the efforts he was putting in.

In his previous life, though he had seen medical practitioners on TV or in science programs performing CPR or using electric shocks to save patients whose hearts had stopped, and these measures often yielded good results, 

Once he got hands-on, he was still somewhat flustered.

What voltage should be used?

What current?

What is the optimal time for rescue?

He knew none of these things!

Lacking professional knowledge, he had no choice but to keep trying, increasing the chakra output each time after a failure, hoping for a miracle to occur.

Buzz! 

With the seventh attempt resulting in yet another failure, and seeing no change in Uchiha Akihiro along with no fluctuations on the heart rate monitor, Uchiha Toshiro was by now drenched in sweat.

At the same time, his hope was dwindling. 

Although he had not received formal first-aid training, he knew that with the passage of time, the effectiveness of emergency measures would rapidly decrease. 

Each passing minute would exponentially lower the chance of success.

And the chances of success were becoming slimmer and slimmer!

"There's no other choice but to grit my teeth and keep on!"

Seeing Miss Misa beside him who was still maintaining her 'Resuscitation Technique,' with sweat beginning to trickle from her forehead, Toshiro continued his efforts, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"I have no choice but to increase the chakra output!"

After several ineffective attempts, Toshiro decided to give it his all.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

With an increase in chakra output, each time Toshiro performed 'Electric Shock,' he could clearly see clusters of bright white with a hint of purple arcs of electricity jumping on Uchiha Akihiro's chest~

...

A faint smell of scorching began to permeate slowly throughout the treatment room. 

Fortunately, it wasn't the smell of burning protein caused by high voltage electric currents, but the scent coming from these moving arcs occasionally touching the fabric, otherwise, Toshiro would have had no choice but to give up~

With the minutes ticking away!

One minute!

Three minutes!

Five minutes!

Repeated attempts to rescue but still to no avail, Toshiro's heart was sinking...

Just when Toshiro was accepting reality and preparing to give up...

With the dimming of the electric arcs in his hands!

Beep!

A sound seemingly from heaven, a long-awaited sound entered Toshiro's ears.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A series of heart rate waves began to rhythmically beat.

"Misa! We did it!"

"Hurry~ it's crucial to seize this moment for further treatment!"

Seeing Uchiha Misa who had not yet recovered from her extreme joy and sorrow, Toshiro had to remind her.

At this moment, his makeshift 'brother-in-law' had regained his heartbeat, but the damage he had sustained had not disappeared. 

If not treated promptly, it's likely he would soon meet his end again!

If that moment came, there was no guarantee that Toshiro could save him again if his heart stopped a second time.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Saki, prepare the surgical equipment, medications, and blood packs!"

"Everyone, stop crowding here! Make room for the surgery!"

Seeing hope, Uchiha Misa suddenly burst with unprecedented speed, issuing commands rapidly while also turning to Toshiro, "Toshiro! Stay here!"

Actually, at this point, it didn't matter if he stayed or not.

During this time, his hands were completely out of his control and were still occasionally twitching. 

He couldn't even stand still without causing trouble for Miss Misa.

Intense pain kept jolting his nerves, making it difficult to speak.

While rescuing Akihiro earlier, he hadn't felt anything, but once relaxed, the consequences of using electric shock manifested!

But since Misa had just gone through an emotional rollercoaster and needed companionship, he didn't refuse, forcefully enduring the discomfort in his arms and remained in the treatment room.

When finally this arduous rescue process concluded, and he found a secluded spot to rest, Toshiro couldn't help but fall into a semi-conscious state.

He was seriously injured this time; both his hands had suffered severe injuries due to the temporary technique of 'Electric Shock.'

Not only was there surface pain and numbness from prolonged electrical contact, but the veins inside his arms were also riddled with damage.

Since the idea came to him on the spur of the moment, and without thorough thought, he hastily invented a jutsu that only had the effect of releasing electricity.

Casting it had indeed caused him no small trouble~

If not for his extraordinary chakra control skills and considerable endurance, he couldn't have persisted until a turnaround happened.

[Who would've thought my first invented jutsu as a transmigrant would be one for saving lives~]

Toshiro thought to himself~

Even after a considerable rest, his hands were still in a terrible state.

Just moving them was difficult, let alone trying to alleviate the pain or treat himself—
