After all, not everyone has the physique of the Senju or Uchiha, who can withstand even fatal wounds for three days and three nights. It's a miracle that this guy was able to hold on until he arrived.

"Quack doctor! Quack doctor! What good are you?!"

The mustachioed ninja feigned grief and indignation, pointing his finger at Chiba's nose and angrily rebuking him.

"If it weren't for you offending the Tsuchikage, so many of our brothers wouldn't have died today! Now, you've killed my friend too, you're a jinx!"

The mustachioed ninja's voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of many nearby ninjas, whose gazes toward Chiba became hostile.

They all had relatives and comrades who died in today's battle, and they were filled with anger with nowhere to vent it. Chiba's presence instantly became a perfect outlet for their frustration.

Even though they know that a war between them and Iwagakure would break out even without Chiba, they would still subconsciously take their anger out on Chiba. That's human nature.

"You jinx! You're not welcome in our camp! Get out!" the mustachioed ninja yelled, his anger escalating.

The other Konoha ninjas remained silent, but they quietly walked behind the mustachioed ninja and stood there, coldly staring at Chiba.

“Your friend’s situation is not optimistic to begin with, and I have done my best,” Chiba tried to explain.

But the mustachioed ninja wouldn't listen to a word and angrily interrupted Chiba: "You're talking nonsense! My friend was perfectly fine just now, it's you, you bastard, who ruined him!"

"It was... fine just now?"

Chiba frowned slightly. He glanced at the wounded man on the bed who had already breathed his last, then at the mustachioed ninja, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"This was a premeditated act of violence against a medical professional!"

Chiba had already sensed that something was wrong.

The Uchiha clan's camp is quite far from here, and it's impossible that there wasn't a single medical ninja along the way. The enemy was after him from the very beginning!

"There were already quite a few people in the camp who had complaints about me, and this guy's mudslinging was quite clever. I need to find a way to distance myself from him quickly, otherwise..."

After a moment of contemplation, Chiba feigned exasperation and said, "Impossible! My medical skills are absolutely flawless!"

"Your friend just developed very serious symptoms. It's definitely because you weren't there to take care of him the whole time that he missed the best opportunity for rescue!"

As soon as Chiba said this, before the mustachioed ninja could even speak, the Konoha ninjas behind him couldn't hold back any longer.

"What?! This little doctor is lying through his teeth! Ren Sanlang was clearly with his friend the whole time, and only went out to look for a doctor when no one came!"

"Heh, what are you still saying to him? Can't you see that this kid is already furious? He's obviously making things up and trying to shift the blame onto someone else!"

"His medical skills are terrible, and his character is terrible too. Why should we protect someone like that? I really feel sorry for the brothers who sacrificed their lives!"

One by one, the Konoha ninjas stood on their moral high ground, pointing fingers at Chiba.

"Did you hear that?"

The mustachioed ninja spread his arms and sneered, "I was with my friend the whole time, everyone in the tent can testify! Now what do you have to say?"

"That would be strange."

Chiba feigned doubt and asked, "Your friend is suffering from two types of toxins and is experiencing acute organ failure. You've been with your friend the whole time, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

"I……"

Before the mustachioed ninja could speak, Chiba continued.

"What's even stranger is that if your friend was poisoned by both of these poisons on the battlefield, he shouldn't have survived until now, unless one of the poisons was just administered."

"You were with your friend the whole time, did you see anyone suspicious approach?" Chiba asked.

"Was one of the poisons just administered?"

"Judging from what the doctor said, could it be that...?"

In an instant, the Konoha ninjas looked at the mustachioed man with strange expressions.

"You're talking nonsense! You mean I poisoned my friend?!"

The mustachioed ninja blushed with rage: "In the entire camp, everyone knows how much I care for my friends. It's clearly your own medical skills that are lacking, yet you're trying to shift the blame!"

"So many people have died in our camp today, all because of you!" the mustachioed man emphasized once again.

"hiss……"

Seeing the two facing off, the Konoha ninja watching were somewhat unsure of what to do.

"By the way, that guy said before that this Chiba guy's medical skills seem pretty good?"

“Ren Sanlang and his friend have a very close relationship. They are so close that they are like one person, and they even have the same person as their partner.”

"Uh-huh?!!"

"Okay, stop pretending."

Looking at the grief-stricken man with the mustache, Chiba said calmly, "You just poisoned your friend with an incurable poison, and then summoned me, hoping to make your friend 'die' by my hand."

"But you, with your limited knowledge of toxicology, don't realize that if your friend were to be poisoned by both of these poisons at the same time, there would be no way he could have survived the battlefield."

"I……!"

Seeing the mustachioed man's eagerness to explain, Chiba simply shut him up.

"Don't rush to speak. If you insist that my medical skills are inadequate, then go find another doctor, and he will give the same answer."

At this moment, a hint of panic finally appeared on the mustachioed ninja's face.

"Admit it, from the very beginning, your goal was to 'kick me out of the camp'!"

Before the mustachioed man could react, Chiba pressed his advantage, saying, "Based on your motives, I reasonably suspect that you are an inside agent planted in Konoha by Iwagakure!"

"I see……"

One of the communications team members looked enlightened: "I just remembered, it was Ren Saburo who kept urging us to lure Chiba and the others back!"

"It's so funny."

Ren Sanlang had regained his composure and said coldly, "It's clearly your own lack of medical skills that's causing this, yet you're trying to turn the tables on me. Everyone knows that your medical team is united, so finding someone to cover up your mistakes wouldn't be difficult for you."

"I, Ren Saburo, have served diligently in Konoha for so many years. How could you possibly slander me with just a few words? Don't all of you here know me better than an outsider like you?"

Ren Saburo cleverly defused Chiba's offensive with just two sentences. First, he eliminated the "fairness" of the medical ninjas, and second, he played the emotional card, once again bringing most of the Konoha ninjas back to his side.

In an instant, many more Konoha ninjas glared angrily at Chiba, feeling that they had been deceived by him!

"That's right, I was the mole. So what if you guessed it?"

Looking at Chiba, who stood alone in the same spot, rejected by everyone, a hint of mockery flashed in Renzaburo's eyes.

"I disposed of the poison long ago. Without evidence, what can you do to me?"

Chapter 30 Could it be that Lady Tsunade...?

"You're so confident because you think I can't prove you poisoned me, right?"

Facing Ren Sanlang's teasing gaze, Chiba calmly spoke.

If what he had just guessed was merely speculation, he was now 100% certain that the guy in front of him was Iwagakure's mole.

With such strong on-the-spot reaction ability, who would believe that he wasn't a professionally trained spy?

"Ha, these baseless accusations are nothing but your own imagination!" Ren Sanlang sneered, determined to deny everything.

"Oh, really?" Chiba smiled as well.

“I have some knowledge of toxicology. What you used is a type of poison called ‘Collagen,’ a liquid, pale yellow, odorless substance that is lethal simply by being applied to the skin.”

Chiba stared into Renzaburo's eyes and said these words, intending to use these truths to make the other party believe his following lies!

As expected, Ren Saburo's expression changed slightly, because Chiba actually revealed the poison he used!

"This poison is volatile in the air and turns blue when it comes into contact with alcohol."

Chiba didn't give Ren Saburo time to think. He took out a bottle of alcohol from the medical kit, slowly unscrewed the cap, and said, "Whether you poisoned him or not, and whether there are any toxins left on your hands, we'll know as soon as we test it."

boom!

Ren Saburo's brain went blank on the spot. He didn't know whether Chiba was telling the truth or not, and he needed time to analyze Chiba's words.

"……Oops!"

Those present were all seasoned ninjas, and Renzaburo's subconscious hesitation had already given him away.

When Renzaburo realized something was wrong, the Konoha ninjas around him had already drawn their weapons and rushed towards him.

"Damn it!"

Faced with the swarm of muscular men, Ren Sanlang was completely powerless to resist and was instantly pinned to the ground.

"How...did you...know that!"

Ren Sanlang's face was contorted with bulging veins as he struggled to raise his head and intermittently questioned Chiba.

According to their intelligence, Chiba had hardly ever come into contact with Sunagakure's poisons, so why was Chiba so knowledgeable about Sunagakure's toxicology?!

Ren Sanlang was ruined by this very thing, so he wanted to get to the bottom of it!

"I'm leaving the person in your care. Now I want to leave. Could you please make way for me?"

However, Chiba completely ignored Renzaburo and addressed the group of Konoha ninja blocking the tent entrance.

"Chiba! Chiba! Answer me!"

Ren Sanlang on the ground struggled frantically. Sometimes, ignoring someone is more damaging to their mental health than insults or ridicule.

Chiba's complete disregard was like rubbing his dignity, Renzaburo's, into the floor, just like his face was being pressed to the floor!

"I'm sorry, young man Chiba, we were just now..."

"Yes, yes, we were just confused for a moment and were misled by someone. Don't take it to heart."

One of the Konoha ninjas spoke up somewhat awkwardly, and the others quickly echoed his sentiment.

“I understand.” Facing the apologies from the Konoha ninja, Chiba smiled and said, “So, can you please step aside now?”

While he understood, Chiba naturally didn't have a good impression of those guys who had just mindlessly criticized him.

"This……"

The group of Konoha ninjas looked at each other, and finally made way for Chiba, watching him leave.

"Damn it, it's all your fault!"

Seeing the boy's lonely figure, a Konoha ninja was filled with shame and kicked Ren Saburo hard again.
