Devil's Breath Part Four

If there was one good thing about being known for questionable jutsu experimentation, it was that no one tended to bother you when you started requisitioning equipment. They did not want to know. It was almost amusing, listening to the various excuses his kin would make to be suddenly elsewhere. The only potential problem had been Hashirama, and his brother was still too busy sulking to take note of his actions.

Tobirama still didn't have everything he wanted, but it was a start. If nothing else he had managed to acquire all the items he needed to set up a system to administer the intravenous antibiotics. Tobirama didn't fool himself into thinking that was all it was going to take. He had a few other ideas for clearing the infection out of Izuna's body. However, he wanted to think about it a bit more before he did something irreversible. Possibly run some tests.

In the meantime there were plenty of other things to do. The more recent wounds had been easily disinfected and closed. The albino had seen worse on the training fields. He had washed and placed a poultice over the deep slash on Izuna's side before placing clean bandages over the area. Hopefully that would draw some of the infection out.

Then there was the fact that it seemed he had perforated part of the Uchiha's lung. That was going to be complicated. Yes, in theory Tobirama could just let the wound scar. But, as Izuna said, he wasn't one to leave a task half done. If he was going to save his lifelong enemy, he was going to do it right. Not purposely leave him half crippled.

For now though, Tobirama's biggest irritation was the other's eyes. "Just what did you do Izuna?" he hissed in frustration hands glowing green, brow furrowing in concentration. "And why?" The only good thing he could say about the whole situation was that everything appeared to be in the right place and the delicate organs were uncontaminated by any foreign matter.

Though it did explain why Izuna had come to the battlefield blind. Still though, what the heck was this?! It was like someone had started ocular surgery for some reason and just stopped halfway through. Seriously, Tobirama thought to himself. If he ever met the medic who was responsible for this travesty they would be having words, and none of them would be sage bless.
