Warnings: Death?

While most of Konoha slept through the summer night, there was one particular building even more active than usual during their midnight shift. The Konoha hospital sign flickered in need of a bulb replacement and from the entrance door a clamor could be heard echoing across the halls. A group of medic nins rushed down the hallway towards the emergency room with the body of a young teenage girl laying on their rolling bed. As they entered and set her in the emergency room, the medic counted till three before lifting the victim onto the flat operation table surface. Among the medic team, the youngest one in the group, a pink haired nurse froze, while slipping latex gloves on, from recognizing the victim but soon snapped out of it and rushed to check the patient's wrist and her watch.

"No pulse, Tsunade-sama!" Sakura stated while also verifying by looking for pulse behind the victim's ear.

Meanwhile, the medic team proceeded to inject vials and the vital signal line. As soon as the vital signal monitoring system was activated, it buzzed a flat line. After inspecting the swollen affected arm, the focused elder and leader of the group slid the mask in place above, before hollering commands. "This is severe poisoning case- look there is an insertion on one of the main veins on the victim's left arm and you can see by the distortion of color that the poison is spreading fast. Resuscitate and Stabilize! We need to ensure the airway. Come on people! Get some air in those lungs or the respiratory depression is going to speed up more the toxicity of the poison!"

One of the medic-nin finished ripping the teen's top and started on CPR procedures, and as a member forced green chakra energy to the victim's lungs to prevent collapsing, the other sent waves to other vital organs to avoid shut down. Tsunade lifted the victim's eyelid back and moved the small flashlight across and over the glazed blank blue orb before surveying the rest of her body. She grimly surveyed the black veins spreading and considered the option of amputation.

"We don't have time to wait for resuscitation to be successful, Sakura we must start deluding the poison and begin an immediate blood transfusion, or she is going to loose her arm and her life."

The pink kunoichi was panicking, knowing already that there just was not enough time. The last time she performed something remotely similar, the male patient was still breathing, but she did not protest or dared to stop. Not with her friend's life on the line. Her anxiety rose with the words from her colleague. "She is not responding" one of the medics commented before counting down and pumping blue charges into the victim's stiff body. The flat line remained buzzing.

Outside the room, a pair of expressionless aqua orbs observed through his silver bangs and the half wall glass window, as the team struggled to revive the blonde girl. His attention was soon demanded by a pair of chunin shinoubi, leading him on to another room.
