----------

Ishigami Hara nodded to the two of them. Tsunade frowned unconsciously when she saw Jiraiya and Nagato lying on the ground.

"This is…"

Uzumaki Kanao stepped forward and said in surprise, "The boy from the Land of Rain who came to take the Chūnin exam last time?"

Ishigami Hara nodded, explained the reason for the situation, and then said, "Kanao, I plan to leave him in Konoha, and I want you to take care of and educate him in the future. Are you willing?"

"Ah?"

Uzumaki Kanao was surprised but still nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama, I have no problem with that. After all, he is my fellow tribesman. If Kushina knew, she would definitely be very happy."

Jiraiya, still anxious, interjected, "Hara, don't worry about these things right now. Is Nagato seriously injured?"

Tsunade, unable to bear his distress, stepped forward and punched him in the head, saying, "Idiot, can't you use your brain? Since Hara made such an arrangement, he must be confident. Have you forgotten that, in terms of treatment, the strongest of Konoha are here?"

"Ah?"

Jiraiya covered his head, first confused, then dazed, and finally grinning.

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. That's right. It was the right choice to bring them back to Konoha. Still, you are the best," he said, giving a thumbs-up, though he still looked uneasy.

Ishigami Hara stood up, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous. Nagato's life isn't in danger, but fully treating him will be a bit troublesome."

He gestured to Tsunade, who rolled her eyes at him and squatted down to examine Nagato. Uzumaki Kanao also checked him, her curiosity about her fellow clansman piqued.

"There are signs of repair in the heart."

"The initial injury likely damaged the heart valve, but thanks to the strong vitality of the Uzumaki clan, he didn't die immediately."

"Both eyes are gone, with some damage to the optic nerve, though the treatment was timely."

"Now his biggest issue is the loss of vitality."

Tsunade shook her head, saying, "This child's vitality has been depleted by at least 99%, and what little remains is barely enough to sustain his life. Fully restoring him will be very difficult."

Tsunade finished her assessment, which aligned with Ishigami Hara's observations.

Uzumaki Kanao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "If it's just vitality, there's no problem. Leave it to me—I've accumulated a lot of chakra over the years."

On her forehead was a diamond mark, identical to Tsunade's. Without a doubt, it was the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

Tsunade, noticing this, said to Uzumaki Kanao, "Your ability is ideal for healing this kind of injury. As it happens, there's a new version of the Strength of a Hundred Seal. I'll teach it to you after this matter is resolved."

"Yes, thank you, Master Tsunade!"

Uzumaki Kanao smiled and nodded.

Having mastered the Strength of a Hundred Seal, Uzumaki Kanao naturally understood the characteristics of this technique.

For her, the degree of compatibility between the Strength of a Hundred Seal and her own abilities was probably unmatched by anyone else in the entire ninja world.

"Then let's start. Restore his vitality first," Ishigami Hara ordered.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Tsunade made way, and Uzumaki Kanao lifted her sleeves without hesitation, exposing her arms. She then formed a one-handed seal, releasing the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Dense black lines spread from her forehead to her arms, forming a unique diamond pattern.

She then directed her chakra to Nagato's arm, and even in a coma, Nagato reacted, swallowing subconsciously.

Everyone could feel the chakra flowing from Uzumaki Kanao's body into Nagato, whose vitality, like a candle in the wind, began to strengthen rapidly.

The process lasted about as long as two cups of tea, after which Uzumaki Kanao cut off the chakra flow. Standing up, her expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of weakness.

"The Strength of a Hundred Seal has used up 80% of its chakra, converting it to vitality. This should be enough to restore his lost life force. Given the Uzumaki clan's resilience, his recovery is certain."

Uzumaki Kanao then stepped aside.

Ishigami Hara considered for a moment and instructed the Anbu nearby, "Please ask the head of the Uchiha, Fugaku, and the elder Uchiha Setsuna to go to Konoha Hospital. I will meet them there."

"Yes!"

Anbu left promptly.

Ishigami Hara turned to the others. "Take the child to Konoha Hospital first. Tsunade, his heart condition is yours to handle. Resolve it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

The group then moved quickly to Konoha Hospital, where Nagato was immediately taken into the operating room.

Tsunade personally conducted the treatment, allowing Jiraiya to finally feel at ease.

"That was truly intense."

Jiraiya wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After the ordeal, Yahiko and Konan appeared downcast.

Ishigami Hara said, "Take them to rest. Nagato is stable now and should be able to wake up by tomorrow at the earliest."

Yahiko suddenly dropped to his knees, bowing deeply to Ishigami Hara. "Hokage-sama, I am immensely grateful for your kindness in saving Nagato..."

He was about to continue, but found himself immobilized, unable to lift his head or speak further.

Upon closer look, Yahiko realized that his shadow was now connected to the Hokage's, and he heard Ishigami Hara say, "There's no need for thanks. I did this not for your gratitude but because I need you to leave the Land of Rain and stay in Konoha."

Under Ishigami Hara's control, Yahiko stood up, his expression conflicted, clearly wanting to speak.

Ishigami Hara waved a hand and stated, "The ninja world will soon fall into chaos again. This time, the Land of Rain will cease to exist as it was. I will bring the Land of Rain under Konoha's rule. I will grant it the peace you desire, so you can fulfill your dream."

Then Ishigami Hara turned to Jiraiya. "Take them back to rest. We can discuss more later."

He released his control over Yahiko.

Yahiko opened his mouth to speak, but Jiraiya patted his shoulder, shaking his head slightly.

Yahiko fell silent, frowning in thought, but he understood Jiraiya's intentions.
