Seeing Seimei's hesitant expression, the injured Iwa ninja on the sickbed thought there was something wrong with his injury and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" "Uh..." Seimei hesitated for a moment. Finally, he pretended to be troubled and said, "You know, many ninjas were injured in this battle, but there are only a few medical ninjas. I want to alleviate the pain for more comrades, but..." "But what?" the Iwa ninja who had just been healed by Seimei asked, and the others also perked up their ears. Seimei glanced at them, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "But I don't have enough chakra to help too many people." "Is there anything we can do to help you?" It was not the Iwa ninja in front of Seimei who spoke, but another one with severe injuries. Obviously, the other party was eager to be treated, and immediately used the word "we" to include everyone. Seimei also took the opportunity and immediately said, "I have a ninjutsu that can absorb chakra. For the sake of other comrades, are you willing to contribute some chakra?" That's right, Seimei didn't plan to force it this time, but instead prepared to use a hidden strategy, indirectly obtaining chakra. After all, this was the enemy's territory, and using force could easily be discovered. In that case, it was better to put everything in the open and use righteousness to pressure them. Although he couldn't drain all their chakra at once, there were many more targets to choose from, and he could completely win by quantity. Moreover, there was no need to worry about being discovered, because even if he was discovered, it was fine. After all, he was really healing more people. "Absorb chakra?" Hearing Seimei's words, all the Iwa ninjas frowned. After all, chakra was a matter of life and death for them. For a moment, the atmosphere became strangely quiet. "Is the process dangerous?" It was still the severely injured Iwa ninja who spoke. It could be seen that the other party was very anxious, so he broke the silence with one sentence. "Absolutely not!" Seimei immediately assured upon hearing this. Then, his voice weakened, "And I won't absorb too much chakra, about half is enough. It's mainly because there are too many wounded..." Hearing his words, the brows of several Iwa ninjas finally relaxed. If it was only absorbing half, it was acceptable. After all, the battle at the front had ended. Next, they would definitely not go to the battlefield again, and this was the rear area, with people patrolling and guarding around. They were unlikely to encounter any danger. In that case, it was fine to contribute some chakra. With this thought, several Iwa ninjas in the tent expressed their opinions one after another, "For the village, for our comrades, contributing some chakra is our duty." 'Hehe, it's your duty. If it weren't for waiting for me to save your lives, would you be so straightforward?' Seimei sneered in his heart, but on his face, he had an expression of being so moved that he was almost about to cry. Then, he looked at the Iwa ninja he had just healed. The other party hesitated for a moment, glanced at the other people in the tent, and after finding that they were all staring at him, he sighed and extended his hand with a righteous expression, "It's my duty!" Obviously, he didn't dare to do anything ungrateful. Seeing this, Seimei smiled from the bottom of his heart, then quickly completed the hand seals, cast the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', and grabbed the other party's hand. To avoid scaring the other party, Seimei didn't absorb the other party's chakra with full force, but only maintained a speed of one hundred points per second. After noticing this, the Iwa ninja indeed relaxed a bit. After more than ten seconds, Seimei took the initiative to release the other party's hand and said, "That's enough. Let me treat the others' injuries first." After saying that, he walked towards the Iwa ninja who had been speaking just now. The other party's injuries were quite severe, with several parts of his body wrapped in bandages. Just like before, Seimei first inquired about the general situation and confirmed that they were all external injuries before unwrapping the bandages and carefully examining the wounds. A moment later, he confidently said, "No problem, I can treat them." Hearing this, the Iwa ninja on the sickbed immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said before even receiving treatment, "Just leave me one-third of my chakra later. I hope you can save more people." "This..." Seimei hesitated slightly, but ultimately nodded. Then, he didn't say anything more and started to carefully clean the other party's wounds. After finishing this, he began to cast the 'Healing Technique' to treat the other party's injuries. This time it took a little longer, about fifteen minutes, to initially heal the other party's injuries. Seimei moved his hand away and instructed, "Your injuries are serious. You'll need to rest for about a week afterward, and during this time, avoid any strenuous activity." "Okay, thank you!" Saying that, the Iwa ninja on the sickbed extended his hand. Seimei didn't hesitate either and immediately did the same, casting the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' and extracting about two-thirds of the chakra from the other party's body. Just like that, Seimei quickly healed the injuries of the seven Iwa ninjas in the tent. Of course, he also extracted their chakra. Leaving the tent, Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it. The proficiency of the 'Healing Technique' had increased by nearly a hundred points, and his chakra amount had increased by about three thousand points. Honestly speaking, a mere three thousand points of chakra was indeed a bit too little. But for the sake of the rapidly increasing proficiency of the 'Healing Technique', he tolerated it. Anyway, the meat was already in the pot, so what difference did it make where the chakra was used? Feeling the chakra that was about to overflow in his body, Seimei didn't immediately go to the second injured ninja tent but returned to 'his' residence. After confirming that no one had come, Seimei sat cross-legged and began to cast the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', consuming the 'excess' chakra in his body. An hour later. On Seimei's panel, the proficiency of the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had increased by sixty points, and the evolution progress of the Sharingan had also increased by sixty points synchronously. At this time, he still had half of his chakra left. Seimei didn't delay any longer and immediately left his residence, appearing once again in the injured ninja tent. The process was the same as before. First, he healed one person, then gave the same reason, and then used righteousness to force them, quickly reaching an agreement with several Iwa ninjas. And he took the opportunity to increase the proficiency of the 'Healing Technique' and harvest a wave of chakra by the way. After visiting three tents in a row and healing nearly twenty people, his chakra once again reached full capacity. Seimei returned to his residence once more and began to practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. And when his chakra dropped to half again, he would set off again to heal the Iwa ninjas, accumulate proficiency in the 'Healing Technique', and extract chakra, repeating the cycle. Just like that, from noon to afternoon, and then from afternoon to evening, Seimei, under the identity of Moriki Ishi, walked among the various injured ninja tents, tirelessly healing them, and only occasionally going to 'rest' for a while, truly a model medical ninja. During this time, the fact that he was absorbing chakra was unsurprisingly discovered. But it didn't attract much attention because, apart from absorbing chakra, he was truly wholeheartedly healing the Iwa ninjas. Thus, without in-depth investigation, it was naturally impossible to discover any clues. There's one more update tonight. (End of this chapter)
