Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 8: Severe Injuries

'Kenjutsu Style: Executioner's Slash'

A large white blade made of Chakra appeared from the depths of the forest and gorged out a small fissure in the form of a slash in front of Iwa ninjas, thus preventing their forward march.

The Iwa Anbus immediately retreated as they warily stared at the newcomer.

A Konoha ninja with silver hairs and dark eyes that had dark lines underneath them appeared in their vision.

The man had spiky, silver-colored hair that reached into the middle of his back tied in a ponytail and bangs that hung over his Konoha forehead protector. He wore a standard Konoha nin-uniform with a pair of gloves, flak-jacket bandages on his right arm, and the addition of distinctive short sleeves which had red edges and the standard crest of Uzushiogakure on it. There was a holster hung diagonally upon his right shoulder.

The man had a Chakra Sabre in his right which emitted a streak of White Chakra.

One of the Iwa Shinobi hurriedly opened up his Bingo book as he checked the details of the Newcomer. There was a picture of the newcomer with his details printed on the bingo book.

Name: Sakumo Hatake

Code Name: White Fang

Age: 35 years

Affiliation: Konohagakure

Shinobi Rank: Jounin Rank

Threat Level: S-Rank

Bounty: 250 million Ryo.

Other information: A very powerful jounin rank ninja of Konoha who made his name in the Second Ninja War. He is also known to have killed Sand Village Puppeteer Chiyo's Son and Daughter-in-law. His most recognizable trait is a White Light Chakra Sabre which he wields with proficiency. Skilled in Kenjutsu, several A-rank Ninjutsus, and hand to hand combat. If faced against him, any shinobi below the Kage level is advised to run to preserve his life.

The Iwa Anbu went pale in fear as he hurriedly conveyed the details to other Iwa Anbus,

"Retreat we aren't his opponent. He is the famed 'White Fang of Konoha'. Run!"

All of the Iwa Anbus began to retreat as they made a smokescreen with smoke bombs. Sakumo ignored them as went near Aiko and Akira.

Aiko who saw Iwa Anbus retreating heaved a sigh of relief as she thanked Sakumo,

"Thank you Sakumo San! If it was not for your timely arrival, I and my husband would surely have died."

Sakumo nodded to Aiko in response as he helped her take support against a nearby tree. He began to maneuver around the surroundings to detect any possible ambush. After searching for a while, he perched on a nearby tree as he gazed down at the remnants of the battle below.

Sakumo was surprised to see the radius and depth of the crater. He re-assessed the Uchiha couple as his opinion of them was raised up by a notch.

"So, this is the power of a genius Uchiha. They sure are freak of nature and given enough time they may surpass me in future."

After a while, an entire troupe of Konoha ninjas arrived on the scene. They began to scout near the vicinity as one of the Vice-Captain reported to the Sakumo.

"Captain! We have scouted out the vicinity for any possible ambush and have cleared the Iwa ninjas which trailed the other Uchiha. Now we are waiting for your further orders."

"There are no orders for now. Just escort the Uchiha couple safely to the Village. Also, tell the medic-nins to tend to their injuries. They have suffered some serious injuries and need immediate medical attention."

Half an hour earlier, Sakumo overheard the backup request from the Uchiha shinobi. The Uchiha shinobi turned out to be the only son of his late Sensei Kagami Uchiha who died during the later years of the First Shinobi War. So, his teammates are the son and daughter-in-law of the Demoness oneesan who was the elder sister of his sensei Kagami Uchiha.

He was the Captain in charge of the Border Patrol team for this month as recently there was some unrest at the border. He immediately ordered his team and Vice-Captain to gather some ninjas and medics to act as re-enforcement as he marched in advance which lead to the current situation.

The medic ninjas checked the condition of Akira and Aiko and did some primary treatment. The medic ninja used the Mystic Palm Technique as he healed the external wounds on their body. After performing the basic healing he replied,

"This is all I can do for now. There aren't necessary instruments to treat them completely. They needed to sent to Konoha's main hospital immediately."

Sakumo nodded as he ordered his men to retreat. Shortly after they arrived at their base camp, a team consisting of two jounins and three special jounins was dispatched to Konoha with Akira and Aiko in tow.

At present time, back in the Konoha,

Yagami hurriedly rushed to the hospital as he pushed aside lots of people and entered the Hospital. Many people were irritated by his carelessness and informed Hospital authorities.

He was stopped by a squad of Anbus who lead him to Hokage. The Hokage was waiting for him in one of the wards of the hospital.

Yagami hurriedly greeted Hokage as he impatiently asked,

"What's the matter Hokage-Sama? Why you urgently called for in Village Hospital? Don't tell me..."

Tears began to overflow from Yagami's eyes as he was unable to complete the sentence.

Hiruzen coughed up a little bit as he consoled Yagami,

"That's not the matter. I have a piece of good news for you, both of your relatives survived the chase."

Yagami wiped the tears from his eyes as a smile bloomed on his face.

"Thank God! They survived the ambush, where are they? I want to meet them as soon as possible."

Hokage coughed again as reprimanded Yagami,

"Let me complete my explanation. Both of them were saved by Sakumo Hatake who was Captain in charge of the Patrol team whom you informed. Listen to the report of the doctor before celebrating."

Hiruzen pointed at the nearby doctor dressed in a medical coat.

The doctor nodded at Hokage and spoke,

"Both Akira and Aiko Uchiha are in a very serious condition. Although, their external wounds were healed by the primary treatment of the medics; internal and mental injuries are still present."

The doctor stopped for a while as he picked up a file from the nearby table. He flipped some pages and continued,

"The patient Akira Uchiha had exhausted the entirety of his Chakra and a loss of vitality is also detected in his body. This is the outcome of over-exertion from the possible usage of a very powerful forbidden Jutsu by the patient. Severe mental trauma is also detected which would require the help of a Yamanaka Clan member to recover. Also, over usage of Sharingan had led to temporary vision loss. The patient would be in a coma for a while and if my estimates are correct, he would take a minimum of ten months to recover back to his peak condition."

The doctor placed the file back on the table and picked up another folder as he began to recount again,

"The patient Aiko Uchiha suffered from an internal injury in her wound during pregnancy which leads to premature delivery. Although the delivery was successful, her womb is damaged permanently and she won't be able to give birth again in the future. Similar, to the previous patient this patient, also over-drafted her chakra reserves and there is a trace of Chakra pills in her body. She would be hospitalized for at least three months and would be discharged after that."

Yagami heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news of their safe return. A huge burden was lifted from his shoulders as he smiled cheerfully. Although he was worried about the Akira and Aiko's injuries, the important matter of their safe arrival overshadowed his worries.

The doctor stared at Yagami before he spoke,

"Yagami-san it would be for the best if you could escort the new-born child to Hospital for his check-up. The baby was born prematurely and we need to check to make sure the baby is healthy."

Yagami nodded and thanked the Doctor. The doctor nodded and returned back to his work.

Yagami was eager to meet Akira and Aiko but was stopped by a nurse,

"The patients are resting and it is recommended to not disturb their rest. Please visit after a while."

Yagami could only sigh helplessly as he came out of the hospital. The gloominess in his eyes was replaced by worry. He went to a nearby civilian's store and purchased all the necessities mentioned by his wife.

Yagami returned to his house as he explained the entirety of the matter to Fumiko.

He was bombarded by another round of questions as he silently explained the details to his wife. After Fumiko was satisfied with the explanation, she went to the nearby crib and picked up Izuna as she held him gently in her arms.

"Let's Go! I will escort you to the hospital and meet with Aiko. I have some serious talking to do with her."

Yagami nodded as both of them slowly walked towards the hospital.
