Thinking of Naruto, Sasuke couldn't help asking the Medical Team treating him, "Have the lists of personnel assigned to guard each key node been announced?"
The Medical Team ninjas shook their heads in unison. "That's classified!"
Sasuke sighed.
Although he was one of the combatants assigned to guard a key node, he didn't know which nodes his comrades were guarding. He hadn't even learned which one he was assigned to until he returned to the base. It was Node 4.
A Medical Team ninja suddenly said, "But the core Node 1 should be guarded by the lord himself!"
"Exactly!"
The others nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, only Shinji, as the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, could plant the Divine Tree and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Sasuke said, "There's no need to worry about the core node!"
Just as he finished speaking, a new message came over the loudspeaker: "Node 1 is under attack. The attacker is suspected to be Otsutsuki Shibai."
"What?!"
The Medical Team ninjas all paled. They couldn't believe anyone would dare challenge Shinji at the core Node 1!
Sasuke thought, Even the rest of us could handle Otsutsuki Shibai. Shinji will have no problem at all!
Beep, beep, beep.
Just then, a piercing alarm rang throughout the underground base. A communications ninja hurried into the medical room and reported to Sasuke, "Lord Sasuke, a powerful Chakra signature is approaching us. It'll arrive in about three minutes!"
"Understood!"
Sasuke slowly got to his feet.
The Medical Team ninjas stopped treating him. "We're terribly sorry we couldn't fully heal your injuries!"
"I've recovered about eighty percent. That's enough!" Sasuke said, moving his body to test it. "You all stay put in the underground base. Leave what's happening outside to me!"
The Medical Team and communications ninjas bowed deeply
