As soon as the meeting ended, Yue Yan went to the medical department and showed everyone his letter of appointment as the person in charge of the front - line camp.
After that, Yue Yan didn't hesitate and began to check the condition of the poisoned people here.
After examining and analyzing the previously collected samples for a while, Yue Yan roughly figured out some of the pharmacological principles of the poison made by Chiyo.
It mainly consists of organic toxins. These toxins can damage important organs and tissues such as the lungs and kidneys in a short time through blood circulation, resulting in fatal consequences such as acute pulmonary edema and acute renal failure.
As these are organic toxins, their forms can be changed by adding various metabolic chemical toxins. As a result, just one basic toxin can give rise to many types of poisons, which is the most troublesome part for the front - line camp.
The toxins can change at any time, but cracking them takes a great deal of time, which leads to the heaviest losses at this front - line camp.
After finishing the analysis, Yue Yan bit his finger and performed the Summoning Technique to summon Katsuyu. He made it split itself and attach its parts to each poisoned person to delay the outbreak of the toxin. Then Yue Yan started trying to make an Antidote.
To be able to make such ever - changing poisons, Chiyo must be a person with extremely high proficiency in the Mystical Palm Technique. And as long as a medical ninja has the ability, they will have their own set of habits.
Starting from this aspect, even if Chiyo can make new poisons in the future, as long as no samples are obtained for cracking, it will be very easy to deal with.
The essence of detoxification is to reduce or eliminate the toxicity of toxic substances to reduce their harmful effects on organisms.
In an organism, during a series of complex biochemical processes, toxic substances react with other substances to become ineffective.
For example, foreign toxic substances are subjected to reactions such as oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis to change their chemical structures. Some will also combine with substances in the body to make them easier to excrete, ultimately achieving the purpose of detoxification.
With a clear mind, Yue Yan quickly prepared the first batch of Antidotes and gave them to the patients according to the severity of their poisoning.
After confirming the effectiveness, Yue Yan called on everyone in the medical department to start preparing the Antidotes together.
Just like this, as soon as Yue Yan arrived at the front - line, he was busy until late at night. After injecting the last patient with the Antidote, Yue Yan finally took off his isolation mask and went outside to drink some water and take a break.
At this time, Yue Yan noticed Jiraiya.
"Hey, Jiraiya - sensei."
After a simple greeting, Yue Yan asked someone who was also out for a break to fetch the previous report and give it to Jiraiya.
Seeing Jiraiya reading the report, Yue Yan also gave a simple explanation.
"Chiyo is extremely skilled. With my current abilities, I'm not capable of completely cracking the poison in a short time. All I can do is reduce the cost of being poisoned to the extent that it won't affect normal combat at least in the short term. For the follow - up treatment, more work is still needed."
As Jiraiya listened to Yue Yan's explanation, he flipped through the report. Although he could only have a general understanding of the drug analysis and pharmacological analysis on it, there were quite a lot of things densely recorded on it. From this, he could also see Yue Yan's hard work.
Jiraiya looked at Yue Yan with great relief. Originally, he took in Yue Yan because of the prophecy of the Great Toad (Gama) Sage and also because he didn't want to miss such a talented Yue Yan.
Previously, Jiraiya took some time off to come and have a look. Watching Yue Yan carefully analyzing the poisons and seeing the medical ninjas around him who were convinced by his abilities and willing to assist him, Jiraiya couldn't help but think of his teammate Tsunade.
In the past, when facing the poisons of the Sand Ninjas, Tsunade was just like Yue Yan is now.
Yue Yan's figure gradually overlapped with Tsunade's, causing Jiraiya to be in a daze for a moment.
"Jiraiya - sensei? Jiraiya - sensei?"
Yue Yan: (???)
"Perverted old man! Were you listening to what I was saying?"
"Ah? Oh! What did you just say?"
Seeing the blank look on Jiraiya's face, Yue Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. He thought that maybe Jiraiya was getting old and might be showing early signs of dementia.
"I just said that although I can prepare a general - purpose Antidote, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops, the required drugs may be very expensive. You'll have to find a way to cover this part of the cost."
Many times, when one's ability is limited, one has to rely on money. The same goes for detoxification.
After hearing this, Jiraiya's expression was the same as Yue Yan's earlier, with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
After all, the war was already extremely costly, and now they had to purchase a batch of even more expensive drugs. Even Jiraiya found it a bit of a tough call.
"Uh..." Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly and tentatively asked, "Yue Yan, can you lower the cost? If I tell the old man, he'll probably scold me again."
Hearing this, Yue Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"I can lower the cost, but it'll take time. However, the Sand Ninjas definitely won't give us this time. So, perverted old man, do you want to use the lives of our ninjas to buy time?"
"Uh..."
He couldn't take this statement. If he did, it would mean he didn't care about his comrades' lives. Jiraiya couldn't bear this blame. He didn't even care that Yue Yan called him a perverted old man.
Suddenly recalling that Tsunade had said something similar before, Jiraiya gritted his teeth. He figured that getting scolded was better than sacrificing more comrades' lives, even if it meant spending more money.
"Okay, I'll apply for it."
Hearing this, Yue Yan nodded and looked at the people still lying in the tents.
"The people I'm treating now are those who were poisoned by chronic toxins and have relatively good constitutions. Those who were poisoned by the Sand Ninjas' acute toxins on the battlefield must have been exposed to different types of poisons. To better develop the Antidote, I want to go to the Sand Ninjas' area and get some samples tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll send a team to you then. If we can solve the Sand Ninjas' poison warfare, we'll be able to launch an effective counter - attack."
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 ends soon."
The next day, Yue Yan and a Konoha team raided a Sand Ninja position and successfully obtained some samples.
On the day they returned to the camp, Yue Yan immediately started conducting detoxification and made an Antidote.
Seeing this, as the front - line commander, Jiraiya launched a surprise attack before the Sand Ninjas could react and achieved quite a lot.
Looking at the battle report, Chiyo, who was developing a new type of poison, couldn't help but frown.
After Tsunade left the village, judging from the level of Konoha's medical ninjas, they shouldn't have cracked the poison so quickly.
Just as Chiyo was frowning and thinking, the deputy front - line commander of the Sand Ninjas handed her a piece of intelligence.
"The intelligence says that Konoha has transferred a very powerful medical ninja from the battlefield in the Land of Water. Maybe it's him who cracked the poison."
Hearing this, Chiyo snorted. Except for Tsunade, she didn't think highly of any of Konoha's medical ninjas. So, for this unknown person, rather than believing that Yue Yan cracked her poison, Chiyo thought it was just luck.
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.
There were still many such previously unseen poisons in the cabinet.
This was Chiyo's preparation before the war started. She had planned to estimate the time it would take for Konoha to develop the Antidote and then replace the poisons one by one. It seemed that she had to do it earlier.
