Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

After all, the war was caused by the uneven economic development of the countries, and this situation is an unavoidable problem as long as the five-nation system exists.

Therefore, Kagura was thinking about how to better protect herself and those around her to survive in this war, rather than running away from it.

Fortunately, although the timeline has changed, the main battlefield remains largely the same as the original storyline.

Well, the most urgent task is to find a way to prevent the rope tree from dying.

Thinking of Tsunade's younger brother, Kagura also began to feel a headache coming on.

Because of her romantic relationship with Tsunade, Kagura has actually had quite a bit of contact with Nawaki in recent years.

Kagura also adores this kind-hearted, dream-filled kid.

However, he also knew that precisely because of this, if he suggested not letting the kid go to the battlefield after graduation, Rope Tree would probably put up a lot of resistance.

Well, at worst I can just follow behind him the whole time.

Having figured this out, Kagura was no longer troubled and went straight to bed to catch up on sleep after returning home.

The next day, before the sunlight could even reach the house, Kagura, who was sleep-deprived, was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Before he could even open his eyes, he heard a voice coming from outside the door:

"Lord Kagura, the Hokage has asked us to inform you to go to the Hokage Building for a strategy meeting."

"Okay, got it."

Rubbing her forehead, which ached slightly from lack of sleep, Kagura responded weakly.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

Since the outbreak of the war, Kagura, who is powerful and possesses the only pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, has been assigned many missions.

Although he hasn't been sent to the front lines yet, almost all the tasks that require capturing enemy targets alive have fallen on his shoulders.

Who can blame him for having such convenient eyesight?

Despite some complaints, Kagura still diligently completed each task.

Without dawdling, he quickly went to the Hokage Building after a quick wash.

In the conference room of the Hokage Building, he finally met his comrades whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Even before the war began, Jiraiya, who was traveling around the world, had already been recalled to Konoha by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Orochimaru, who had been engrossed in his laboratory, was also brought out.

Now that the four of them are Jonin, it's impossible for them to carry out missions together anymore.

As one of the few Jonin in the village, they are usually assigned different tasks and carried out alone.

So they haven't met together for a long time since the outbreak of the war.

Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi had summoned all the Jonin in the village for this meeting.

This gave the four people who had just completed their mission a chance to meet.

Nodding to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Kagura sat down next to Tsunade with concern.

These two men had been on the front lines for some time, witnessing the bloodshed and cruelty of war, and their faces looked rather pale at the moment.

Jiraiya's face was devoid of its usual playful expression, replaced by a somber look.

Although Orochimaru's expression didn't seem to change, only Kagura, who knew him best, could sense that his eyes held a hint of coldness.

Although they had seen life and death many times in their previous missions.

But war is always different; when countless lives suddenly disappear before your eyes, it undoubtedly evokes a greater sense of resonance.

Although the two looked somber, they nodded in response to Kagura's greeting.

As for Tsunade, she looked far more haggard than the other two.

As one of the few medical ninjas in the village, Tsunade was not assigned to work on the front lines, but instead stayed in the village to take care of the wounded who had retreated from the front lines.

But obviously, this kind of work is not so easy to do.

At this moment, Tsunade was pale, with traces of blood on her face from when she was taking care of the injured.

Seeing Tsunade's speechless state, Kagura couldn't help but cast a concerned glance at her.

Sensing Kagura's gaze, Tsunade forced a smile, revealing an awkward one.

He responded softly:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"It's just that I've recently encountered many injured people who cannot be fully treated, and that's why I feel a bit emotional."

Kagura nodded, offering no words of comfort, but simply held her hands tightly.

In fact, we are only in the early stages of the war, and the number of ninja casualties is not particularly high.

Those who were able to return to Konoha Village from the front lines to receive treatment were mostly wounded soldiers who were temporarily out of danger, since the seriously injured had already died on the way.

But surviving and being fully cured are two different things.

Such injuries, like those involving severed limbs, are commonplace in Tsunade's work.

Even if these wounded soldiers can be healed, they will lose the possibility of continuing to become ninjas.

Compared to the physical wounds, it was the sadness they showed after learning that they could no longer be ninjas that touched Tsunade more.

At this moment, Tsunade had never so strongly wished she had access to more powerful medical techniques.

Compared to physical fatigue, the mental anguish caused Tsunade even more pain.

This meeting was naturally not just for Kagura and her three companions; the Jonin who had not received any missions or had just returned to the village after completing their missions were all seated in the meeting room.

Fugaku Uchiha was also sitting among them.

Since the start of the war, he was no longer in charge of the garrison, but instead accepted the village's arrangement to carry out missions outside.

After their eyes met, they nodded to each other in acknowledgment.

Shortly after all the Jonin arrived, the person who had called this meeting finally arrived at the conference room.

After entering the room, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around and then sat down in the head seat after everyone had composed themselves and taken their seats.

Looking at the dozen or so Jonin below, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a heavy voice:

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I won't waste any more words."

Just now, we received news that Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, has declared war on the Land of Fire.

Chapter 26 Suggestions for Adding Medical Classes

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words are not entirely correct; Hanzo of the Salamander actually declared war on all forces within the Land of Rain.

Upon hearing this news, Kagura's brows furrowed.

This powerful figure, with whom I had a brief encounter more than a decade ago, has now officially become the leader of Amegakure.

Although in the original storyline, Hanzo, who was known as a "demigod," seemed to have some undeserved strength.

But Kagura knew very well that Hanzo's abilities were the most powerful weapons on the battlefield.

Poison is always the fastest and easiest way to kill.

Especially in densely populated places like battlefields, Hanzo's poison gas was greatly amplified.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the many Jonin after hearing the news, Hiruzen Sarutobi waited until everyone had processed the information before continuing:

"So the reason I've gathered you all here is to hear your opinions, you Jonin."

This war has been going on for months, and you are all elites who have experienced the front lines.

Therefore, I would also like to hear if you have any more effective suggestions regarding this war.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, everyone present exchanged glances, but no one spoke first.

After a long silence, Tsunade, who was sitting next to Kagura, raised her hand.

After everyone's attention was focused on her, Tsunade finally spoke:

"Teacher, I propose that each team should be equipped with a medical ninja."

During this period, I treated many wounded soldiers who had returned from the front lines.

Although they may escape death, most of them will suffer irreparable and severe harm.

Moreover, I also know that many more wounded soldiers on the front lines died on the way back to Konoha because they couldn't make it back.

Placing medical ninjas in frontline squads would greatly increase the survival rate of the wounded.

The instant Tsunade expressed her opinion, Kagura immediately raised her right hand and loudly proclaimed:

"I agree!"

Haha, you should know that in the original story, it was because Kato Dan supported Tsunade here that he finally won her heart.

Although he and Tsunade are now in a relationship, he certainly won't be careless about these small things.

After exchanging glances, the Jonin present finally raised their right hands in agreement, with only Orochimaru and Jiraiya doing so.

(Kato Dan was on a mission at the time and was not among them.)

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was at the very top, remained silent after hearing this, and only slowly spoke after a long while:

"We will keep this suggestion in mind, but its implementation will depend on the specific circumstances."

Upon hearing her teacher's words, a hint of sadness flashed across Tsunade's face.

Tsunade could easily understand the meaning behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's bureaucratic tone; it was essentially a rejection.

Kagura gave her a reassuring look, but she wasn't surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's rejection.

After all, he knew very well that it wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to follow Tsunade's advice, but rather that he couldn't.

Ninjas who understand medical ninjutsu are already a minority.

Firstly, learning medical ninjutsu requires a lot of talent, and not everyone can learn this kind of ninjutsu.

Secondly, compared to this kind of auxiliary ninjutsu, most people will still prioritize learning more offensive ninjutsu.

Therefore, medical ninjas are extremely rare, which is why many medical ninjas gather in Konoha rather than on the front lines where it is easier to reach the wounded.
