Konoha Strategist Status, Eliminating Konoha's Medical Ninjas

Early the next morning, at Konoha's frontline camp.

Sunlight filtered through the thin mist and fell across the tents, while the air was filled with the fresh scent of medicinal herbs.

The Medical Ninjas had already begun their busy day, changing the wounded's bandages and checking their injuries in an orderly manner.

Tsunade stood before the central tent with her arms crossed, her gaze sweeping over everyone's movements.

"Move faster!"

Her voice was cold.

"Every second on the battlefield concerns life and death. If you're a step too slow, another comrade may fall!"

At her words, the Medical Ninjas worked even more deftly.

A young female ninja formed hand seals skillfully, pale green Chakra light blooming in her palm as she pressed it precisely against a wounded man's injury.

The wound healed at a visible rate, and a trace of color finally returned to the wounded man's pale face.

"Not bad."

Tsunade nodded slightly, a flicker of approval in her eyes.

A delighted smile appeared on the female ninja's face.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

Not far away, Chiyo was guiding several Medical Ninjas in preparing antidotes.

When it came to other medical knowledge, he was certainly no match for Tsunade, a genuine Medical Ninja.

But Chiyo was fairly proficient at preparing antidotes.

After all, during the Second Shinobi World War, poison and Water Release had drawn the most attention.

As someone who had crossed over, even without a system at the time, he had naturally made some preparations with his foreknowledge.

Not only had he learned about antidotes, he also knew quite a few Water Release ninjutsu.

"Remember, the key to preparing an antidote lies in precision and speed. On the battlefield, every second can determine life or death."

He picked up a bottle of pale green medicine and gently shook it. Ripples spread through the liquid inside.

"This is an herb extracted from plants in Amegakure. It can neutralize most toxins, but it is highly active and must be prepared within a short time."

Chiyo handed the medicine to a young Medical Ninja. The young man's hands trembled slightly, clearly from nervousness.

"Don't be nervous. Follow the steps."

Chiyo encouraged him.

The Medical Ninja took a deep breath and began operating carefully.

He poured the medicine into a ceramic bowl, then added several drops of clear liquid.

Chiyo stood beside him, his eyes fixed on every movement without the slightest relaxation.

"Slow down. Pay attention to your Chakra control."

Chiyo suddenly spoke, his tone stern.

The Medical Ninja froze, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Distribute the Chakra evenly throughout the medicine. Only then can you ensure the medicine's effects remain stable."

Following Chiyo's instructions, the Medical Ninja gradually became more adept.

When the final herb had been ground into powder and gently sprinkled into the bowl,

the medicine instantly gave off a faint blue glow before gradually becoming clear and transparent.

"Success!"

The Medical Ninja raised his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Chiyo smiled slightly and nodded.

"Good. You did very well."

He turned to the other Medical Ninjas, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"Remember, preparing antidotes is not merely a technique. It is also a responsibility.

"Every step concerns the lives and deaths of the ninjas on the front lines. You must be absolutely precise."

The Medical Ninjas exchanged glances, determination flashing in all their eyes.

"Lord Chiyo, we will work hard!"

Outside the camp.

Hatake Sakumo heard the conversation within, and an unprecedented sense of relief flashed in his eyes.

This was an entire team of Medical Ninjas!

Though these people still looked young,

once they matured, who knew how many Konoha comrades' lives they would save on the battlefield in the future!

Though Hatake Sakumo did not know why the village had suddenly begun "training" Medical Ninjas at such a critical moment, no matter what,

training Medical Ninjas was ultimately a good thing.

"Screech!"

The cry of a ninja hawk rang out in the sky.

Hatake Sakumo almost instantly looked up, his heart settling.

The ninja hawk folded its wings and landed in the camp.

"Lord Sakumo, a message has arrived from Konoha Headquarters."

A communications ninja hurried over, holding a Scroll in his hand.

Sakumo took the Scroll and quickly unrolled it.

A moment later, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Yesterday, he had not only reported to the village about Tsunade and Chiyo's Medical Ninja situation.

He had also mentioned the "trouble" they encountered and how Chiyo had swept through it alone.

Sure enough.

The village's orders arrived today.

Besides assigning Tsunade and Chiyo responsibility for the medical logistics of the main war effort, the order also mentioned temporary strategist positions.

As temporary strategists, they could participate in and voice their opinions on Konoha's upcoming military operations.

Chiyo Uchiha had left a good impression on him. After all, someone who protected his comrades could not possibly be a bad person.

"Inform those two about this..."

Hatake Sakumo was just about to give the communications ninja an order when he suddenly paused.

"Forget it. I'll go myself!"

Hatake Sakumo then turned and walked into the camp.

Meanwhile, in a huge tent at Sunagakure's frontline camp, the solemn atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

The camp's Elders, advisers, and Elite Ninjas had gathered together. Their gazes were focused on the center of the conference table, where a map of Konoha's front lines lay covered in dense symbols and markings.

"The situation is very bad."

An elderly Elder spoke, his voice hoarse and low, carrying a trace of anxiety.

"Our surprise raids and frontal assaults have both failed completely."

"It is truly hard to imagine that Lord Ebizo brought so many elites and still lost!"

"The problems brought by consecutive defeats are far too severe. If there is no turning point, we may lose this war."

The conference room fell silent as everyone considered what to do next.

They had to find a way to turn the tide, or at least ensure Sunagakure did not lose too disgracefully.

"What should we do now?"

A young ninja asked, unease in his voice.

"We must act now and completely eliminate Konoha's Medical Ninja forces."

"This is our only choice. Without Medical Ninjas, their morale will be affected, and we will have a chance to turn the tide."

The conference room fell silent. Everyone knew this was a difficult decision.

Eliminating the Medical Ninja forces meant facing Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo's full retaliation. It would be an extremely dangerous mission.

"I am willing to go."

A resolute voice rang out.

Everyone looked up and saw a young ninja standing at the other end of the conference table, determination in his eyes.

He was Chiyo Yang, one of Sunagakure's Elite Ninjas.

"I am willing to go as well."

Another ninja rose to her feet. She was Chiyo Liu, the wife of Chiyo Yang, who had just stood up.

"Are you certain?"

The Elder's gaze swept over the two of them, concern in his voice.

Chiyo Yang nodded.

"We are confident we can complete this mission. For Sunagakure's victory, we are willing to pay any price."

"As for the specific plan, we can make a flanking detour while the front lines create the illusion of an attack. Liu and I will infiltrate Konoha's Medical Ninja forces.

"If we succeed, we can win Sunagakure a brief advantage."

The conference room fell silent as everyone considered the feasibility of this plan.

At last, the Elder slowly nodded.

"Very well, this mission will be entrusted to you.

"We will launch an attack to coordinate with your operation!

"But you must be careful. Kill as many Medical Ninjas as possible! Also, avoid directly confronting Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade whenever possible. Neither of them is an easy opponent."

"Understood."

The two replied in unison.

After the meeting ended, Chiyo Yang and Chiyo Liu swiftly left the camp.

They knew this mission would be extraordinarily difficult.

But they also understood that this was Sunagakure's only chance to turn the tide.
