Having reported to the supreme commander, the forward reconnaissance mission was now complete. After such a challenging mission, Yu Xian's squad was unable to continue fighting and needed rest.

Therefore, the team was temporarily disbanded. Yu Xian left the Konoha front-line camp and withdrew from the Land of Rain with some wounded soldiers, arriving at a front-line hospital further back.

His injuries needed treatment, and at times like these, he could only rely on medical ninjas.

Yu Xian's current condition is not considered a serious injury, so after arriving at the front-line camp, he only needs to wait in line for treatment.

Akimichi Torifu actually needed treatment more, but it was obvious that the three of them had other things to discuss... Yugen could guess what they wanted to say, nothing more than the word "spy".

Does Konoha have spies from Iwagakure? Even if they did, it wouldn't be surprising. Let alone spies trained from childhood, there are countless ways to control a ninja in the ninja world.

Putting aside everything else, Shimura Danzo might even occasionally act as a spy for Iwagakure. After all, his concept of "righteousness" is very distorted, and he likes to do things that he thinks are good for Konoha... Well, anything Danzo betrays is a cancer on Konoha, and anything Danzo insists on is Konoha's righteousness.

Well, the current Shimura Danzo doesn't seem to be that extreme. Based on Hagen's first impression, Danzo is a fairly calm ninja with a good overall perspective... Simply put, he's the kind of person who's suitable to be a strategist.

As for being the head coach, he doesn't seem to be very suitable.

In comparison, it's more reliable to hope that the Third Hokage arrives at the front lines and takes over command, or to hope that the Sannin grow up quickly.

At the frontline hospital, just as Yu Xian was waiting patiently for treatment, a quarrel suddenly broke out from the crowd queuing ahead of her.

War and death are inseparable. The atmosphere on or near the battlefield is always oppressive. Although the upper command system hopes that the ninja village will become the perfect killing tool, ninjas are ultimately just human beings. Therefore, everyone who participates in the war and goes through the fighting is prone to mental tension, emotional repression, anxiety, and even loss of control.

Therefore, the frequent arguments and even conflicts are considered normal phenomena, and the ninjas also need to release their emotions.

"You genin, stop crowding here! You're useless. Treatment opportunities should be given to chunin and joinin first!"

"Let us go? Since everyone is queuing up for treatment, it means your injuries aren't life-threatening. Of course, we should follow the rules, so first come, first served is the biggest rule! This is a hospital, not a place for you to act like high-ranking ninjas!"

"What, a mere genin..."

"If genin (lower-ranking ninjas) are to give priority to jonin (high-ranking ninjas), does that mean commoner ninjas should give opportunities to members of larger ninja clans, and ninjas from smaller clans should give opportunities to members of larger clans?"

"you……"

How could a genin have such eloquence? Yu Gen even wants to go and lend a hand.

Soon, the argument turned into a conflict. Although no one used ninjutsu, the people arguing started tearing at each other.

Not all genin will swallow their pride in front of chunin and jonin during non-mission periods. Besides, once emotions run high, they don't care who they are.

Yu Xian thought that it would be bad to resort to violence. When a genin faces a chunin or jonin, it's best to talk rather than fight. Talking gives you a chance to win, but fighting only means getting beaten up... In any case, the difference in strength is obvious.

The arguments, insults, and scuffling did not escalate into a full-blown brawl. A loud explosion followed, and the chaos subsided. The frontline hospital quickly returned to order…

As always, this kind of thing happens frequently and quickly subsides.

They're all wounded; let's focus on getting them treated.

The queueing speed suddenly increased, and soon it was Yu Xian's turn. Then he saw the young medical ninja in the tent... with blonde twin tails.

Huh? What's going on? In the meantime, Yu Xian first met Orochimaru in the dungeon, then Hiruko in the support team, and now Tsunade at the frontline hospital... All that's missing is Jiraiya. It just goes to show how small the ninja world is.

That said, the strong are indeed strong. Whether it's the Sannin or Hiruko, who was once part of the Sannin squad, they all have long hair... They aren't afraid of having their hair pulled by the enemy during battle.

The argument just now was probably resolved by Tsunade with a single punch; her method of resolving disputes is remarkably simple and straightforward.

Even on the incredibly dark and oppressive front lines, Tsunade's brilliance could not be concealed. Coupled with the advantages brought by her special status, she probably had countless admirers...

At this time, Tsunade was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. The youthful aura she possessed was something she could never fake, no matter how hard she tried to maintain her appearance later.

Yu Xian glanced at the other person twice, comparing her to the image in his memory. After a brief moment of novelty, he didn't have any further thoughts. As a ninja who survived on the battlefield, he was too far removed from the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the disciple of the Third Hokage. The frontline hospital was probably the only place where the two could possibly cross paths.

The relationship between the two was a standard doctor-patient relationship.

When it was Yu Xian's turn, he went into the tent and sat in front of Tsunade. Tsunade washed her hands again and began to examine him.

"External injury? Poisoning?"

"External injury. I was previously attacked by an Iwagakure ninja using Earth Release techniques."

"Let me check your injuries... You've been in the Land of Rain for quite a while? That's been too long. Although the wounds have been treated well, there are still some signs of infection."

After being injured, Yu Xian stayed in the cave. He felt like he was getting moldy, and now, upon hearing that his wounds might be infected, he immediately became nervous and asked with some concern:

"Lady Tsunade, the infection... I'm sure I'll be alright?"

It would be ridiculous to survive on the battlefield only to die from an infected wound upon returning home.

"Don't worry, I'm here. It's just a small matter. But... wounded ninjas on the battlefield should definitely receive treatment as soon as possible."

Upon arriving on the battlefield, after witnessing the deaths of many ninjas due to lack of timely medical care, Tsunade began to consider incorporating medical ninjas into combat teams... Later, things took a turn for the worse, as the direct reason that prompted her to implement this policy was the unexpected death of her younger brother, Nawaki.

However, it wouldn't make much difference to say these things to an ordinary wounded person; Tsunade was just speaking offhand.

"Do not move."

As she spoke, Tsunade's palm hovered a finger's width away over Yugen's wounds, and then chakra full of life energy flowed into Yugen's body, rapidly healing his internal and external injuries.

"You're not bad, surviving a close-range attack from a wide-range earth-escape technique..."

When Tsunade saw that Yugen's body was riddled with holes like a honeycomb briquette, she could roughly guess what kind of attack he had suffered.

She was a top-notch medical ninja, and she carefully treated every injury for Yugen.

"Thanks to my teammates' help."

Yu Xian's response was very "politically correct," so there's definitely no problem with it.

Tsunade nodded and said, "Then don't let your teammates' efforts go to waste. The war is escalating, so don't die easily on the battlefield."

Well, look at their attitude. If Yugen were a native of Konoha, he would probably become an admirer of Tsunade after this treatment.

The battlefield is so cruel that it makes even the slightest bit of gentle kindness seem as intense as the sun... a situation commonly known as feeling good about oneself.

Tsunade quickly finished the treatment, and Hagen stood up and stretched, discovering that he had truly recovered completely.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Yu Xian thanked her, and Tsunade simply nodded slightly, her attention already focused on the next injured person.

…………

With no missions at the moment, Yu Xian didn't rush back to the front-line camp. Instead, he found a secluded spot near the hospital camp and began practicing the Wind Release ninjutsu he had mastered.

Yu Xian first pulled out a short sword from behind his back, which he had taken from an enemy.

He held the short sword between his palms, then methodically formed hand seals. Once the seals were complete, a concentrated cloud of wind-attribute chakra had gathered in his chest.

Yu Xian held the sword in one hand, then took a deep breath. As he slowly exhaled, the condensed wind-attribute chakra attached itself to the short sword with each breath.

The wind-attribute chakra "energy cloud" adhered tightly to the blade, then slowly extended, transforming the short sword into a sharper long blade.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade... Clearly, this is a technique used by Shimura Danzo.

As long as you don't try to use this move to do something like a sword cleaving Susanoo, its power and practicality are beyond doubt.
