530 Scourge of the Ninja World
🕑 Added 2026-01-11 06:01:01 +0000 UTCGekko Chizan suppressed the shock in his heart, his brain spinning rapidly.
The medicine-selling was temporarily halted. He quickly walked over to the ninja who was already in pain and foaming at the mouth. Seeing his actions, the people around immediately blocked him.
"You—what are you trying to do!"
"How dare you sell fake medicine in the Grass Hidden Village! You old thing must be tired of living!"
"You there, hurry and call the patrol team! Arrest him!"
A group of people shouted and cursed wildly, making Gekko Chizan feel like his head was about to explode. He hurriedly explained:
"Let me go over there. After all, this happened after he took my pill."
"I have to take a look at him at least. Maybe I can help!"
"Hey, hurry up and let me through!"
Being blocked and unable to make a move made Gekko Chizan furious.
He really wanted to just strike directly and throw every single person in front of him into the sea to drown! He was certain these Grass Hidden Village landlubbers couldn't swim!
No matter what he said, they just kept blocking him and wouldn't let him pass.
"Let him go take a look. We all took it and nothing happened. Why did only this unlucky guy have trouble?"
"Hmph, maybe this bastard ate something unclean besides the pill."
"Let the old man go check him too. Otherwise, I already took the pill—I won't feel at ease."
Soon, the people who had already taken the pill spoke up as well. They supported letting Gekko Chizan take a look, after all, they had all taken the medicine.
If something went wrong, what would they do? It was better to solve the problem now and get a clear explanation and solution.
While both sides were locked in a stalemate, Gekko Chizan seized an opening and suddenly rushed forward.
He carefully concealed the chakra inside his body, making sure no one around could sense it. By the time both sides reacted, Gekko Chizan was already standing in front of the man.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"Old man?"
"Don't mess around! If he dies, it'll all be your responsibility!"
For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Gekko Chizan and the man.
"Enough! Stop arguing!"
"I'm going to take a look at him!"
Gekko Chizan was truly annoyed by the noise and roared angrily without even turning his head.
The volume of his voice startled everyone present.
An involuntary thought appeared in their minds: This old man's voice is really loud—worthy of an apothecary, his body really is sturdy!
"Chōmei, sense your scale powder. Has the scale powder inside his body spread?"
After analyzing the situation, Gekko Chizan had already thought of a possibility—that this idiot hadn't followed instructions and swallowed the pill, but instead bit it apart directly.
This caused a high concentration of scale powder to spread instantly. At this dosage, the scale powder would directly poison him. Judging by his condition, the effects were likely dizziness and foaming at the mouth.
"I've already sensed it. His body is full of scale powder now, from head to toe!"
"This fool deserves it. If the scale powder had dissolved bit by bit, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state."
"Hahahaha, but the effect of my scale powder really is nice. Look at him."
With Chōmei's confirmation, Gekko Chizan sighed helplessly. He felt mentally exhausted—there were always these blind little nobodies increasing his workload.
"Chōmei, treat him. Neutralize the scale powder in his body."
"Easy to say. Then how do we hide the chakra?"
"Hah, simple. I'll make a cut and let some blood out. Using the blood, you can weakly infuse chakra."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Gekko Chizan took a deep breath, then put on an expression of disappointment and anger at wasted potential. Pointing at the guy in front of him, he scolded furiously:
"Look at this! Just look!"
"This is the price of not following medical instructions! I clearly said not to bite the pill directly. That would make the medicinal effect far too strong for the body to withstand!"
"But he wouldn't listen! Wouldn't listen at all! All the medicinal effect rushed to his brain—how could he not be dizzy and foaming at the mouth!"
"Hmph!"
"Luckily, I'm here. There's still a chance to save him!"
"You there, young man, lend me your knife. I left in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring mine."
Hearing Gekko Chizan's scolding, everyone immediately understood—he hadn't swallowed it?
He bit it directly? Good grief, that's bold. Who doesn't know these days that you have to follow medical instructions when taking medicine? Tsk tsk, this is the consequence.
With this example, those who were preparing to buy medicine afterward became much more cautious. This wasn't something to joke about.
"Oh, here you go. But old man, what do you need a knife for?"
Gekko Chizan took the katana. What he did next left everyone dumbfounded.
They saw Gekko Chizan swing the blade and slash straight down at the root of the other man's thigh.
"Shua!"
Not to mention, the katana was quite sharp. With that slash, the blood flowed like crazy.
The vivid red color shocked everyone present.
"Hey! Old man, you're killing him!"
"With this much bleeding, he'll die!"
But Gekko Chizan ignored them completely. At this moment, Chōmei had already begun using chakra to dissolve the scale powder inside the body.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the blood. No one noticed the chakra fluctuations on Gekko Chizan's body.
In a short while, a lot of blood had flowed out, even staining the ground red.
But after Chōmei's dissolution, the scale powder inside the body was completely cleared.
Gekko Chizan put on an act and took out a small bottle from his clothes. Inside was some hemostatic powder, which he poured onto the wound.
"Chōmei, use scale powder to numb his thigh. I'm stopping the bleeding—he can't die."
Chōmei's scale powder appeared again, but this time it was only local anesthesia.
As the hemostatic powder covered the wound, the bleeding immediately stopped. After finishing, Gekko Chizan slapped the guy across the face and cursed:
"Hurry up and get up, you bastard who doesn't follow medical instructions!"
"You even wasted one bottle of my hemostatic medicine! Pay up!"
It had to be said—this entire sequence of actions left everyone present stunned again and again. It was too fast.
Slash, bleed, apply medicine—and now he was fine?
Soon, the ninja slowly opened his eyes. Although there was still foam at the corner of his mouth and his face was pale, he was finally awake.
"Hiss, it hurts..."
"My face hurts... eh? Why can't I feel my leg?"
The newly awakened guy immediately showed a trace of panic. He couldn't feel his leg at all!
"Hmph! Arterial bloodletting, no anesthetic. You'd probably die from the pain."
"Bastard! I told you not to chew it, and you still wouldn't listen, huh!"
