Naruto: Reborn as an Otsutsuki Chapter 217 - 216: The Shimada Clan!

It took approximately ten minutes for the Seii and the group to climb down the cliff and find Uchiha Natsu.

His condition was miserable. Battered and broken.

His left arm was gone. His entire body was filled with several bruises and cuts.

Still, he managed to stop his bleeding sohow and gave himself basic treatnt, enough to stay alive.

Exhaustion was clear on his face. He looked like he was about to faint from sheer exhaustion, but he forced himself to stay awake.

However, his body was still tense and alert, ready to engage in a fight at a mont's notice.

He nearly jumped when he suddenly heard multiple footsteps coming toward his hiding spot.

But when he saw the incoming ninjas wearing Konoha's headband and standard olive green jacket, exclusive to Konoha's Chunin and Jonin, he sighed in relief.

Seeing his condition, Seii wasted no ti and began treating him.

"Here. drink up."

Seii pulled out two vials of potions and made him drink them.

One of them was a healing potion, and the other one was a stamina potion.

The stamina potion would provide the necessary nutrients to his body, blood, and cells, allowing him to recover his stamina quickly.

It was like giving food to a starving body and making it digest the food within seconds, so it could quickly regain its stamina and physical energy.

anwhile, the healing potion began to nd his cuts, bruises, and fractured bones.

Next, Seii made him eat a blood-replenishing pill, which allowed Uchiha Natsu's body to recover its lost blood at an accelerated pace.

Seeing him recovering a bit, Seii said, "Now, please lie down. I will use dical Ninjutsu to heal the gravest wounds, including broken bones, and remove any harmful substances."

With that, Seii continued his treatnt.

After nearly fifteen minutes, the treatnt was done.

Although Uchiha Natsu still looked rather exhausted, he was out of danger.

Now, he could at least walk and run. Of course, fighting was out of the question.

And he had lost his land hand, completely.

Looking at the Uchiha ninja with a missing limb, Seii couldn't help but sigh.

Even with all the powerful dical Ninjutsu in the world, none could regenerate a missing limb. At the very least, there was none that he was aware of.

From now on, Uchiha Natsu would have to retire as a ninja.

Still, in a way, this could be a blessing for him, too. He wouldn't have to participate in dangerous missions and lose his life anymore.

The Uchiha clan and Konoha's managent had a lot of jobs for the retired ninjas. He could live a safe and happy life.

While Seii's mind was wandering, Uchiha Natsu looked up at Seii and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life."

Hearing this, Seii suddenly looked at Natsu, who was lying down, and blinked.

After a mont, he smiled, "No problem. You are out of danger now. Soon, we will bring you back to Konoha."

Uchiha Natsu nodded.

At that mont, the ANBU leader's voice rang in the air.

"We will escort you back to Konoha. But before that, we need to know about the situation you ntioned in your letter."

"We also need to know what happened to the other ninjas in your team."

Hearing this, Uchiha Natsu's expression beca solemn. His eyes burned with hatred.

"I will. I will tell everything I know. Those bastards killed all my teammates. I will never forgive them."

"If I could, I would have torn their limbs, broken their bones, and smashed them into bloody pulp."

"Kill them all. Leave none of them alive."

"Kil…"

Uchiha Natsu raved like a madman for a few seconds before forcing himself to calm down.

The ANBU leader or the ninjas behind him didn't say anything.

They could feel the undisguised hatred radiating from Uchiha Natsu. anwhile, the Uchiha ninjas understood his pain—the pain of losing friends and comrades.

Seii understood it, too.

But he still couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Another normal Uchiha just beca unhinged!!!

That's what happens when your spiritual energy or the spirit stat far surpasses your physique, breaking the balance entirely.

Seii silently prayed for the Uchiha clan.

Wait a mont. Would Reina also end up like him soday?

Seii suddenly shivered as he felt a chill run down his spine. But he quickly shook his head taphorically.

No, no. She still has Uzumaki and Senju blood. Her physique is quite powerful, far surpassing even an average Senju clan ninja of her age.

She should be normal, right?

Seii reassured himself. However, he felt his confidence wavering.

anwhile, Uchiha Natsu began explaining why his squad was attacked by the independent ninja clan.

"The Shimada clan, one of the above-average independent ninja clans, was acting suspiciously. So, the Lord Second gave us the mission to keep an eye on them and find out if they were engaged in sothing shady."

"According to the Lord Second, the one who requested the investigation was none other than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"So, to make sure we complete the mission flawlessly, we decided to infiltrate the Shimada clan."

"However, we never expected the ninjas from Kirigakure to be hiding there. I don't know how they did it. We took every possible precaution."

"But the mont we infiltrated the Shimada clan's territory, we were spotted."

"And then, we were attacked."

After that, Uchiha Natsu described every event that happened, from his team being spotted to how he ended up below the cliff.

The S-rank Uchiha ninja, Uchiha Hiroshi, stepped forward and asked with a weird expression on his face.

"So, let get this straight. In the end, you grabbed the injured enemy leader Shin and jumped off the cliff. And while you were in the air, you stabbed him with your tanto before grabbing him again?"

Uchiha Natsu nodded with a blank expression and confird, "Yes."

Hearing this, all Konoha ninjas surrounding Uchiha Natsu, including Seii, fell silent.

They all had just one thought in their mind: This crazy bastard!

Wow! I have to admit that he has the balls of steel. He really jumped, huh? Seii mused silently.

This crazy bastard dared to jump off the cliff while grabbing the enemy leader Shin to make sure that Shin died with him.

But that wasn't all.

With a chest full of hatred, Uchiha Natsu ended up stabbing Shin's throat while their bodies were descending.

After that, Natsu used all the Wind Release Jutsu he knew to slow down their speed of descent. All while creating a shadow clone mid-air, which, in turn, used more Wind Release Jutsu to slow down the speed of Natsu's descent further.

As for how this crazy Uchiha used Jutsu with one hand missing…

Well, it seed that he finally learned to use one-handed seals due to his sheer will to survive and his improved chakra control that ca with his Sharingan evolution.

A talented guy, indeed.

Is that what you call human potential? The ability to adapt and evolve in the face of the danger of death?

Perhaps!

Unfortunately, with a missing limb, his life as a ninja was likely over.

Otherwise, this guy would have surely beco an Elite Jonin-level powerhouse within the next ten or fifteen years.

Oh well…

Now was not the ti to think about that.

Because we had to deal with the Shimada clan, the traitor, and the Kirigakure ninjas.

Seii knew that the Shimada clan's head was an Elite Jonin-level ninja.

If he was following orders from the Kirigakure ninjas, then the infiltrators from the Kirigakure must be stronger than the Shimada clan leader.

Or probably not.

Whatever.

Their goals hadn't changed.

Now, they would head to the Shimada clan. And they would make sure that it disappeared from the face of the Shinobi continent.

Forever.

And they would bury the foreign ninjas from the Land of Water while they were at it.
