Chapter 139: An Incident

Due to the narrow entrance, this group of nosy people had blocked the way.

With his current height, he couldn't see what was happening inside the treatment room at all.

"Saki-san! What's happening inside?"

Gently tapping the shoulder of a girl on the outer edge, she was Mikasa's assistant and also a member of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Toshirō's curiosity drove him to inquire about the situation from this acquaintance.

His voice and actions were extremely cautious.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, startling Uchiha Saki. In the ninja profession, it was quite taboo for someone to approach from behind without being noticed.

If not for the current situation, she might have screamed out loud!

Upon seeing that it was Toshirō behind her, she patted her chest in relief, which wasn't exactly ample, and let out a big sigh.

"It's Toshirō!"

"Go in and take a look, it might help to... console someone..."

She hadn't finished speaking before she made way for Toshirō, signaling him to go inside.

Hearing this, Toshirō felt a sudden pang in his heart.

[The person inside... could it be someone related to me?]

It should be noted that in this camp, his only relative was Mikasa. Considering Uchiha Saki's expression, could it be...

Toshirō handed the box of medicine he was carrying to her and squeezed directly inside.

[Fortunately, it's not Mikasa who is in trouble!]

Just as he reached the door, he saw Mikasa's figure.

At this moment, she had her back to him, leaning over the figure lying on the bed, seemingly performing CPR.

Seeing this, Toshirō, who had been deeply worried, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn't Mikasa in trouble!

If something happened to Mikasa, he wouldn't know how to face it. Over the years, her care for him could truly be described as meticulous.

Even after getting married, she would take time out to tidy up his place and take care of his daily needs.

Toshirō had long considered her his only family in this world.

Then his gaze shifted downward. Since it wasn't Mikasa who was in trouble, it had to be the person lying on the bed.

With just a glance, Toshirō silently sighed, 'As expected.'

The one lying on the bed was his nominal brother-in-law, Uchiha Akihiro.

At the moment, Uchiha Akihiro, lying on the bed, had a face devoid of any blood color, and his body was a bloody mess.

There were several wounds on his limbs, with flesh turning outward. Additionally, there was a clear perforation wound on his right chest, and his abdomen was a mangled mess, with his right arm twisted in a way that clearly indicated a compound fracture.

Glancing at the nearby heart monitor, it displayed a smooth, straight line...

Toshirō opened his mouth but didn't know how to console Mikasa.

At this moment, no matter what he said, it wouldn't matter much.

Knowing the strong bond between his sister and his brother-in-law, who had always been cheerful, humorous, and generous, Toshirō felt lost upon seeing him in such a state.

"Mikasa..."

Seeing Mikasa, who was mechanically trying to resuscitate her husband, Toshirō had to step in, wanting to offer some comfort.

But for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Toshirō, you're here. It's okay..."

Hearing Toshirō's voice, Uchiha Mikasa didn't stop her actions. Like someone who had lost her soul, she merely glanced at Toshirō blankly before resuming her attempts.

Seeing her vacant, terrified, and helpless expression, Toshirō was at a loss for words.

At this point, nothing he could say would help much.

Instead, it was better to attempt some sort of rescue together with her. At least this way, she would have someone by her side during her most desperate moments.

Forming hand seals, he cast a resurrection jutsu, joining the effort.

...

However...

Observing Mikasa leaning over her husband's body, now only able to utter simple syllables, Toshirō felt profound heartache.

Although her husband's body was still warm, it was evident that it was slowly cooling...

"Mikasa... Let me try something… If I offend Akihiro-san in any way... please forgive me!"

An idea sparked in his mind, prompting him to try...

Anyway, in a while, he would be completely gone. Treating the dead horse as a living one seemed the only option.

Ignoring the dissipating green glow from his hands, and under Mikasa's blank gaze, Toshirō formed hand seals and placed his hands above Uchiha Akihiro's heart...

"Lightning Release: Shock!"

With the change in Toshirō's chakra nature, electric currents flowed between his hands and then into Akihiro's heart.

The electric stimulus caused the already still body to twitch slightly, and then everything returned to how it was.

Neither his brother-in-law nor the heart monitor showed any reaction.

But the murmurs of the onlookers reached Toshirō's ears.

Ignoring the noise.

[Could it be that the voltage is not enough?]

Seeing no effect, Toshirō wasn't surprised. If saving a life were this easy, life would be too cheap.

[Try again!]

He had already begun, there was no backing out. Instead, he began to direct Uchiha Mikasa.

"Mikasa, quickly use your medical ninjutsu to stimulate Akihiro's heart and keep it active!"

While speaking, he continued with the electric shocks.

Buzz!

With another attempt, Akihiro's body twitched again.

[Still no use, should I increase the voltage?]

Lacking experience in this area, Toshirō had no choice but to press on.

By now, Uchiha Mikasa had recovered from her shock, seeing Toshirō's efforts, she didn't stop him.

She quickly wiped her tears and then formed seals to use the same resurrection jutsu.

As Akihiro's wife, she had no hesitation at this moment. What worse could happen?
