Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Compared to a war that had lasted years, two months was a very short time.

After spending two months on the front lines, Hyuga Bin was once again transferred back to Konoha to receive an audience with Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hyuga Bin entered the Hokage's office and bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had an old pipe clenched between his teeth. "Lord Hokage."

"Bin-kun, I had you temporarily transferred back because I have an important assignment for you. The Uchiha Clan ninja at the border fighting Kirigakure have suffered severe losses. As a medical ninja who has mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, I intend to send you there as reinforcements."

Although Hyuga Bin was merely a branch family ninja of the Hyuga Clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude toward him was still very respectful on the surface. At the very least, it appeared that way.

Hyuga Bin wanted to give Sarutobi Hiruzen a like first.

Sending the Uchiha Clan, who relied on the Sharingan and excelled at Fire Release Ninjutsu, to deal with Mist Ninja skilled in the Mist Technique and Water Release—that really was the best, best, best strategy.

The Mist Technique could create a dense fog filled with Chakra. Even Uchiha Clan ninja with Three-Tomoe Sharingan would be suppressed by it, unable to see clearly.

With One-Tomoe Sharingan or Two-Tomoe Sharingan, visibility in the dense fog was only one or two meters. It was not much different from being blind.

The Fire Release Ninjutsu the Uchiha Clan excelled at was also countered by the Mist Ninja's Water Release.

Based on ninjutsu counters, the Uchiha Clan should have been sent to deal with the Sand Ninja, who excelled at Wind Release.

Only then did Hyuga Bin understand why he had barely seen any Uchiha Clan ninja on the other battlefields. So Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent them all to the coast to die.

After giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a like, Hyuga Bin naturally did not want to accept his arrangement. He still bore the resolve to save Uchiha Obito. Once he went to the battlefield against Kirigakure, he had no idea when he would be able to return.

"Lord Hokage, I feel that the front line against Iwagakure needs me as well." Hyuga Bin spoke directly, hoping not to accept Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement this time.

"Konoha and Iwagakure are currently deadlocked. A decisive battle will not break out anytime soon, and there are enough medical ninja on that front for the moment. On the other hand, the front against Kirigakure is in great need of you because it lacks high-level medical ninja."

Rather than getting angry at Hyuga Bin's tactful refusal, Sarutobi Hiruzen patiently explained the situation to him.

Hyuga Bin naturally could only choose to accept, while also making a request of his own. "Lord Hokage, before the decisive battle with Iwagakure, I hope to go to the front against Iwagakure to treat the wounded."

"I agree." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded directly.

Hyuga Bin was relieved.

When Namikaze Minato led Hatake Kakashi and the other two to destroy Kannabi Bridge, Konoha would happen to be launching an offensive against Iwagakure in order to delay the Iwa Ninja reinforcements heading to Kannabi Bridge.

Therefore, he could make it to the front against Iwagakure before then, and he would not even need to anxiously wait every day.

"The situation is urgent, Bin-kun. Set out first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

The next day, at nine in the morning, Hyuga Bin left Konoha alone and headed east toward the border battlefield against Kirigakure.

Kirigakure's war against Konoha had begun very suddenly.

With Konoha stationing only a small number of troops along the coastal border of the Land of Fire, Kirigakure directly dispatched over a thousand ninja from the Land of Water. They landed through the Land of Waves and invaded the Land of Fire's border.

In less than a month, Kirigakure had encroached upon and seized the entire coastal border of the Land of Fire.

After learning that Kirigakure had started the war, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately arranged for more than a thousand ninja, led by the Uchiha Clan, to retake the border.

For this battle, the Uchiha Clan had dispatched over a hundred clan ninja, led by the Uchiha Clan's new patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku.

Before fighting Kirigakure, Uchiha Fugaku had already earned the title of Fierce Eye.

Unfortunately, because the Uchiha Clan was countered by Kirigakure's ninjutsu, their performance in the war to retake the border was poor. Instead, large numbers of ninja were wounded or killed.

Moreover, without powerful medical ninja to support them, many injured ninja could not receive sufficient treatment. Their wounds refused to heal for long periods, and some severely wounded ninja even saw their conditions worsen.

The situation was urgent. Hyuga Bin traveled at full speed without stopping even once, reaching the camp at the Kirigakure front in only a single day.

"Bin-kun, it's truly wonderful that you could come." At the sight of Hyuga Bin, delight showed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.

Konoha had many medical ninja, but only a few had mastered the Mystical Palm Technique. Until now, not a single one had been assigned here.

Now that Hyuga Bin, who was proficient in the Mystical Palm Technique and even personally taught by Tsunade, had arrived, it meant that many severely wounded ninja could receive better treatment.

As for the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan?

In the face of war, internal conflicts were not conflicts at all.

"Lord Fugaku, where are the wounded? Let me treat them first." Hyuga Bin did not exchange pleasantries and immediately asked Uchiha Fugaku.

"Don't you need to rest first?"

"No. I still have plenty of Chakra. Let's treat the wounded first." Hyuga Bin shook his head.

"Alright. Sorry for the trouble, Bin-kun."

Uchiha Fugaku personally led Hyuga Bin into the medical tent.

Hyuga Bin saw the miserable state of the injured ninja. Many were missing arms or legs; even if they recovered, their future careers as ninja were essentially over.

After all, aside from Water Release, Kirigakure excelled most at swordsmanship. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were among the finest examples of this.

In a sword fight, one moment of carelessness could cost someone an arm or a leg.

After sweeping the inside of the tent with his Byakugan, Hyuga Bin took in the conditions of every wounded person at a glance.

Hyuga Bin quickly walked over to the most seriously injured ninja and began treatment.

As he treated him, Hyuga Bin also formed a clear impression of Uchiha Fugaku, whom he was meeting in person for the first time.

"Compared to the other red-eyed cases in the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku really is quite kind to others. No wonder he could become friends with Namikaze Minato."

"Unfortunately, he's far too indecisive..."
