Konoha's Hextech Ninja

As Yagami Yoruichi's mind raced, he closed his eyes, maintaining his sensory ninjutsu while simultaneously trying to gather chakra and restore his condition.

Killing a few wandering ninjas didn't take a big toll on Yagami Yoruichi, but it was outside Konoha, on her way to the front lines.

To ensure you are in the best possible condition, you can handle any attack with ease.

……

With a special team clearing the way ahead, the main force behind only needed to travel at full speed, and the team moved very quickly.

Just a few days later, they arrived at the border area.

Along the way, whenever the group stopped to camp overnight, Yagami Yoruichi would use her sensory ninjutsu to search for the trail of wandering ninjas.

But aside from the first day, for the next few days, Yagami Yoruichi only found two wandering ninjas, who were guards hired by a nobleman.

Although Yagami Yoruichi wanted to improve her strength as soon as possible, she wouldn't indiscriminately kill indiscriminately.

She wasn't the type to abuse her strength and commit evil at will; Yagami Yoruichi wouldn't kill people indiscriminately, so she had to give up.

After several days of traveling, she hadn't gained much, which was within Yagami Yoruichi's expectations, but it still made her somewhat depressed.

As for the area around the camp, it had been swept up by patrol teams several times, making it even less likely that there would be any wandering ninjas or mountain bandits there.

It is foreseeable that if no battle occurs, Yagami Yoruichi will not have the opportunity to quickly accumulate gold coins during his time stationed at the front-line camp.

……

When Yagami Yoruichi and Tsunade arrived at the front-line camp, the camp had already been built.

The living quarters were very simple, consisting of rows of marching tents connected together.

However, all kinds of seals and barriers were prepared very thoroughly.

Unless you personally enter the camp, you wouldn't be able to see from a distance that there is a camp here that can accommodate hundreds of ninjas.

Even ordinary chakra-based sensory ninjutsu would find it difficult to break through the barrier and detect the ninjas here.

"You and I are in the medical team; we don't need to go out on missions."

Tsunade had already finished handing over the duties to Mitokado Homura and pointed to a row of large tents in the camp, saying, "If there are any wounded, they will be sent there. Your job is to work with the other medical ninjas to treat the wounded."

Of course, there will be wounded only when there is fighting.

There is no fighting taking place at the moment, so there are no wounded to care for.

Yoruichi Yagami was considering taking on patrol and combat missions.

Even if they don't encounter ninjas from rival villages, at least leaving the camp gives them a chance to find ninjas from other villages.

But considering Tsunade's temper, Yoruichi Yagami decided not to voice her thoughts.

After obediently following Tsunade to familiarize herself with the camp's environment, Yagami Yoruichi returned to her assigned tent and took out a medical book from the sealed scroll to read.

At the front-line camp, everyone's movements are strictly restricted.

It's impossible to maintain the same high level of training as in Konoha; there's simply no suitable place in the camp.

As for leaving the camp to train in ninjutsu?

Let alone the nominal commander-in-chief, Mitokado, even Tsunade wouldn't agree.

The more people leave the camp's perimeter, the greater the risk of the camp being exposed.

No one is allowed to leave except for the squads assigned to patrol and guard duties.

I can only pass the time by reading books.

"I don't know how long this mission will last, but I hope it won't drag on for too long..."

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself, then turned his attention to the book in his hands.

……

On the other side.

Orochimaru and Sakumo Hatake have already led their respective squads across the border and into the Land of Rivers.

Upon entering the land of Sichuan, the two groups separated and headed toward their respective goals.

"Lord Orochimaru."

A masked ninja stood behind Orochimaru and asked, "Are we going to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers?"

"What do you want to do by going to see the Daimyo?" Orochimaru's voice was hoarse, with a hint of sinister intent.

The masked ninja asked in confusion, "Isn't our mission to investigate the truth behind the change of daimyo in the Land of Rivers?"

"I roughly know what's going on in the Land of Rivers, there's no need to waste time on it."

Orochimaru glanced in the direction Sakumo Hatake had left and muttered, "I'm curious about what happened in Sunagakure..."

Orochimaru knew what had happened in the Land of Rivers.

Why wasn't the Hokage told?

The masked ninja felt a sense of doubt, but he didn't ask any further questions.

He had followed Orochimaru for many years and had long considered himself Orochimaru's most loyal follower.

As long as Orochimaru doesn't defect from Konoha, even if he disobeys the Hokage's orders or does something shady, he'll just pretend he didn't see it.

Orochimaru was ordered to infiltrate the Land of Rivers to investigate the truth behind the change of daimyo. He could have assembled an elite team, but he only took Orochimaru with him, which speaks volumes.

It's just that Orochimaru plans to do something behind the village's back and doesn't trust anyone else.

"What should we do next?" the masked ninja asked directly. "Please give your orders, Lord Orochimaru."

"Go to the northern part of the Land of Rivers, near the border of the Land of Rain. Once you arrive, open this sealed scroll and have the great serpent summon me using a reverse summoning technique."

Orochimaru handed the masked ninja a sealing scroll, licked his lips, and said with a hint of excitement, "I'll go to the Land of Wind first and see what's happening there."

Chapter 108 Opening Her Eyes, Tsunade's Hemophobia Strikes

The Land of Fire, on the coastal border.

Large numbers of ninjas were fighting each other along the narrow coastal border.

The unloading of the love pottery was laborious, and the urgent goods were stained red with blood.

On a beach somewhere.

Uchiha Inahi held the corpse of one of her comrades and let out a heart-wrenching wail.

In his grief, his vision gradually turned crimson, his pupils quickly turned blood red, and the two black tomoe spun rapidly.

"Kenta!"

Uchiha Inahi looked at the distant enemy hidden in the mist, angrily drew her sword and charged forward: "I'll kill you!"

Awakening the Sharingan is an extremely painful process, yet it can bring about earth-shattering changes for the Uchiha clan ninjas.

Although it was only a two-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Inaho's strength had already increased significantly compared to before she awakened her Sharingan.

Even their agility, speed, and strength have seen significant improvements.

The Kirigakure ninja who killed Uchiha Inahashi's comrade was immediately overwhelmed and killed by Uchiha Inahashi within a few moves.

However, Uchiha Inaho felt no excitement at successfully killing a powerful enemy who was originally stronger than herself.

He knelt before his companion's body, his head bowed, tears streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably.

……

A sudden, small-scale battle caught Konoha off guard and resulted in significant losses.

However, the Misty Ninja did not seem to intend to launch a major attack.

After gaining an initial advantage, they left a few warnings and quickly retreated back to sea.

It seems that their attack was merely a warning to Konoha not to meddle in the internal affairs of the Land of Water.

The Uchiha clan suffered the most severe losses, with more than a dozen ninjas dying.

The other ninja clans and civilian ninjas also suffered losses, but the total casualties were about the same as those of the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku Uchiha, who had only recently taken over as clan leader, had a gloomy expression as he spoke with Koharu Tsukuyo, the commander-in-chief at the front lines. It was unclear whether he had received a satisfactory answer.

But when he walked out of the command room, his face was noticeably more unpleasant.

Faced with the overwhelming strength of the Kirigakure ninja, Koharu Utahara chose to adopt a conservative strategy, sending someone to report everything that had happened back to Konoha, leaving the decision to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Compared to the fierce conflicts on the borders of the Land of Water, the borders of the Land of Rivers are remarkably peaceful.

Although the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers were in turmoil, the unrest was confined to their own borders and showed no signs of affecting the Land of Fire.

About a month after the main force was stationed at the front line, the peace in the camp was suddenly broken.

"Quickly, medical team!"

A familiar voice startled Yagami Yoruichi awake.

When Yagami Yoruichi rushed out of the tent, he saw Hatake Sakumo carrying a seriously injured ninja back to the camp.

"Only two people?!" Yagami Yoruichi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Four members of Sakumo Hatake's squad entered the Land of Wind.

Aside from Sakumo Hatake, who is known as the 'closest to Hokage', the other three are also veteran Jonin.

The two who didn't return, could they have died in the Land of Wind?

Yagami Yoru didn't have time to think much, his gaze falling on the ninja on Hatake Sakumo's back.

The ninja was unconscious, his right arm was severed at the elbow, one leg was missing, and his body was covered with countless slash wounds.

Many of these wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, exposing the internal organs.

With injuries this severe, even a ninja with exceptional physical abilities would be lucky to survive. Even if they did survive, there would be absolutely no chance of them ever becoming a ninja again.

and……

Ordinary medical ninjas wouldn't be able to save someone so seriously injured!

Suddenly, Tsunade's face appeared in Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

With such severe injuries, only Tsunade is probably confident she can save him.

However, Tsunade has hemophobia. Seeing her covered in blood would probably scare her into fainting, let alone perform surgery on her.

Thinking of this, Yagami Yoruichi immediately turned around and began searching for Tsunade's whereabouts.

A green shadow flashed by and rushed into Tsunade's tent.

Yagami Yoruichi immediately realized what was happening and quickly chased after them.

Upon entering the tent, Yagami Yoruichi saw Tsunade kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, her eyes vacant and lifeless.

Clearly, hemophobia has flared up.

"teacher!"

Yagami Yoruichi rushed forward to check on Tsunade's condition.

Perhaps because she wouldn't see blood again once she was inside the tent, Tsunade quickly regained some of her attention after being comforted by Yoruichi Yagami.

"me……"

When Tsunade saw Yoruichi Yagami, she knew that the scene that had just unfolded had been completely witnessed by Yoruichi.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade spoke up: "You've seen it too, I have a strong fear of blood. I get like this whenever I see blood. I can't fight, and I can't perform surgery."

"Teacher, don't push yourself too hard."

Yagami Yoruichi spoke up, "It's not appropriate for outsiders to know about the teacher's condition. I will be in charge of examining the injured, the teacher will provide a treatment plan, and then Senior Jabami and I will be responsible for performing the surgery."

Snake Ci is the strongest medical ninja in terms of medical ninjutsu among the medical ninjas who came to the front line of the Land of Rivers this time, besides Tsunade.

She was Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife and a disciple of Biwako Sarutobi. Although she was not very old, her medical ninjutsu was among the best in Konoha.

Yoruichi Yagami's medical ninjutsu was only at the beginner level; she certainly wasn't qualified to perform surgery.

But with an excellent medical ninja in charge and Yoruichi Yagami assisting on the side, it's still manageable.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Tsunade, disregarding her own problems, nodded and said, "Okay, go get checked out and tell me about your injuries. I'll come up with a treatment plan."

Instead of leaving the tent, Yagami Yoruichi created a shadow clone to check on the wounded.
