Chapter 58 Poisoning and Detoxification (Ch 58)

As soon as the meeting ended, Yue Yan came to the medical department and showed everyone the letter of appointment as the first person in charge.

Afterwards, Yue Yan did not hesitate and began to check the condition of the poisoned people here.

After a period of inspection and analysis of previously collected samples, Yue Yan roughly figured out some of the poison-making pharmacology used by the person who poisoned the person.

It is mainly composed of organic toxins, which can damage important organs and tissues such as the lungs and kidneys through blood circulation in a short period of time, causing fatal consequences such as acute pulmonary edema and acute renal failure.

Since it is an organic toxin, its form can be changed by adding various metabolic chemical toxins, resulting in many types of poisons being derived from only one basic toxin. This is also the most difficult part of the front-line camp.

The toxin can change at any time, but it takes a lot of time to crack it, which results in the heaviest losses on this front line.

After the analysis, Yue Yan bit his finger, used his psychic powers to summon slugs, and let them split and attach themselves to each poisoned person to delay the outbreak of the poison. Then Yue Yan tried to make an antidote.

Being able to create such a variety of poisons, Chiyo is definitely a person with extremely high medical ninjutsu. And any capable medical ninja will have his own habits.

Starting from this aspect, even if Chiyo can make a new poison next, it can be easily dealt with as long as we don’t have the sample to crack it.

The essence of detoxification is to reduce or eliminate the toxicity of toxic substances in order to reduce their harmful effects on organisms.

In living organisms, a series of complex biochemical processes allow toxic substances to react with other substances, thus rendering them ineffective.

For example, foreign toxic substances will change their chemical structure through reactions such as oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis. Some will also combine with substances in the body to make them easier to be excreted from the body, ultimately achieving the purpose of detoxification.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yue Yan quickly prepared the first batch of antidotes and gave them to the patients according to the severity of the poisoning.

After confirming that it was effective, Yue Yan called on everyone in the medical department to start preparing the antidote together.

In this way, Yue Yan was busy until late at night as soon as he arrived at the front line. After injecting the antidote to the last patient, Yue Yan took off the isolation mask and walked outside to drink some water and rest for a while.

At this time, Yue Yan noticed Jiraiya.

“Hello, Mr. Jiraiya.”

After a simple greeting, Yue Yan asked someone who was also out for a break to bring the previous report to Jiraiya.

Seeing Jiraiya reading the report, Yue Yan also gave a brief explanation.

“The level of the person who made the poison is too high. My current ability is not enough to completely crack it in a short period of time. All I can do is to reduce the cost of poisoning. At least in the short term, it will not affect normal combat. Later, further treatment will be needed.”

Jiraiya listened to Yue Yan’s explanation while flipping through the report. Although he could only partially understand the drug analysis and pharmacological interpretation, there were a lot of things recorded densely on it, which showed Yue Yan’s hard work.

Jiraiya looked at Yue Yan with great relief. Originally, he accepted Yue Yan because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage and also because he didn’t want to miss out on such a talented Yue Yan.

Jiraiya had come over to take a look during his free time before. Seeing Yue Yan carefully analyzing the poison, and the medical ninjas around him who were impressed by Yue Yan’s ability and willing to help, he couldn’t help but think of his teammate Tsunade.

In the past, when facing the poisonous creatures of the Sand Ninja, Tsunade was just like Yue Yan now.

Yue Yan’s figure gradually overlapped with Tsunade, which made Jiraiya look dazed.

“Sensei Jiraiya? Sensei Jiraiya?”

Yue Yan: (눈‸눈)

“You lecherous old man! Are you listening to what I’m saying?”

“Ah? Oh! What did you just say?”

Looking at the confused expression on Jiraiya’s face, Yue Yan’s mouth twitched. He thought that Jiraiya was probably old and might have some signs of Alzheimer’s.

“As I said earlier, although I can prepare a general antidote, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the front line, the drugs needed may be very expensive. You have to find a way to pay for this part of the expenditure.”

Many times, when your ability is not enough, you need to spend money, even if it is for detoxification.

After hearing this, Jiraiya’s expression was the same as Yue Yan’s just now, with a slight twitch in the corners of his mouth.

After all, war is expensive in itself, and then we have to purchase a batch of more expensive medicines. Even Jiraiya feels a little embarrassed.

“Uh…” Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly and asked tentatively: “Yue Yan, can you reduce the cost a bit? If I tell the old man, he will probably scold me again.”

Hearing this, Yue Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

“I can reduce the cost, but it takes time. The Sand Ninja will definitely not give us this time. So, you lecherous old man, do you want to use our ninja lives to delay time?”

“Forehead……”

He couldn’t respond to this. If he did, it would mean he didn’t care about his companions’ lives. He couldn’t take the blame. Even when Yue Yan called him a lecherous old man, he didn’t care.

Suddenly remembering that Tsunade had said something similar before, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and decided to just take the scolding. It was better to spend a little more money than to sacrifice the lives of more companions.

“Okay, I’ll apply.”

Hearing this, Yue Yan nodded and looked at the people who were still lying on the beds in the tent.

“The people I’m treating now are those who have been poisoned by chronic toxins and have relatively good physical conditions. Those who have been poisoned by the Sand Ninja’s acute toxins on the battlefield are definitely different from the current types. In order to better develop an antidote, I want to go to the Sand Ninja’s place tomorrow to get some samples back.”

“Okay, I’ll send you a team when the time comes. If we can solve the Sand Ninja’s poison war, then we can also launch an effective counterattack on our side.”

Jiraiya looked at the night sky and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“I really don’t know how long this war will last. I hope it will end soon.”

The next day, Yue Yan and a Konoha team raided a Sand Ninja position and successfully obtained some samples.

On the day he returned to the camp, Yue Yan started working non-stop to crack the code and created an antidote.

Seeing this, Jiraiya, as the front-line commander, launched a surprise attack before the Sand Ninjas had time to react, and achieved considerable results.

Looking at the battle report, Chiyo, who was developing a new type of poison, couldn’t help but frown.

After Tsunade left the village, given the level of Konoha’s medical ninjas, it shouldn’t have been possible to crack the code so quickly.

Just as Chiyo was frowning in thought, the deputy commander of the Sand Ninja front handed Chiyo a piece of information.

“The intelligence reported back said that Konoha had transferred a very powerful medical ninja from the Water Country battlefield. Maybe he was the one who cracked the poison.”

Hearing this, Chiyo couldn’t help but snort coldly. Except for Tsunade, she didn’t think highly of any medical ninja in Konoha. Therefore, she thought that Yu Yue Yan was just a person she had never heard of. Compared to the fact that Yu Yue Yan cracked her poison, Chiyo believed that Yu Yue Yan was just lucky.

However, no matter how much Chiyo looked down on Yue Yan, the fact was that the poison had been cracked, so Chiyo went to a cabinet and took out a new bottle of poison.

And there are many poisons like this one in the cabinet that have never appeared before.

This was the preparation Chiyo made before the war started. She originally wanted to estimate the time it would take Konoha to crack the poison, and then crack them one by one. It seems like it will be done earlier.
