The War Begins

"You're not choosing to be a ninja, but a Medical Ninja instead? That's a good choice too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then nodded. "But this is for the best. At least for a child your age, the hospital is more suitable than the battlefield."

He said this as he looked at Nanchuan You's young face.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Hokage."

Nanchuan You nodded respectfully, then slowly withdrew.

He returned home and rested for a few days. Once the appointment letter from Konoha Hospital arrived, he reported directly to the hospital.

The environment of Konoha Hospital was ordinary; there was nothing unusual about it.

Upon entering, Nanchuan You noticed that not all the staff within Konoha Hospital were Medical Ninjas.

Besides a small number of Medical Ninjas, most of the others were still ordinary people.

It seemed that even within Konoha, the number of Medical Ninjas was not very large, making up only a minority.

Even Konoha Hospital couldn't afford to be excessively staffed with Medical Ninjas.

Nanchuan You was soon welcomed by those around him after arriving.

One reason for this was his young age.

At just seven years old, Nanchuan You was the youngest medical staff member at Konoha Hospital.

Moreover, most of the staff here were women, so he, as a boy, was naturally quite popular.

Another reason was his Medical Ninjutsu.

As mentioned before, Nanchuan You's Medical Ninjutsu skills were quite good.

While not top-tier, he was considered among the best at Konoha Hospital.

In a place like a hospital, the skill level of an individual naturally influenced others' opinions.

In just over a month, Nanchuan You had integrated into the environment.

"Huh? Aren't you Rin-senpai?"

One day, Nanchuan You arrived at the hospital for work as usual.

A familiar figure appeared before him.

It was Nohara Rin, who had come to the hospital.

Nanchuan You looked at her and greeted her first.

"You are..."

Nohara Rin looked at Nanchuan You in front of her, initially surprised. After a while, she recognized him. "It's you..."

"Is there anything uncomfortable, Rin-senpai?" Nanchuan You asked. "I'll get you some medicine."

"It's not me, though."

Nohara Rin seemed a little embarrassed when this was brought up.

She hesitated at first, but eventually spoke, explaining why she had come to the hospital.

The injured person wasn't her, but Obito.

A while ago, Obito had gotten into a conflict with some people and fought them without permission.

The result was a mutual injury. While the other party was not doing well, Obito himself was also hurt.

The reason Obito had clashed with others was because of Kakashi.

A major event had occurred in Konoha recently.

Kakashi's father, the famous Konoha's White Fang, had suddenly committed suicide at home.

Such a death was undoubtedly a disgrace for a ninja.

When the news spread, rumors ran rampant throughout Konoha.

Although it might seem insignificant in later generations, in this era, Konoha's White Fang's reputation was at its peak, comparable to the Sannin.

The impact of such a person committing suicide at home was unimaginable.

Some people slandered and insulted him in private, and Obito couldn't stand these insults directed at his friend, thus getting into an argument and getting injured in the end.

"I see..."

Listening to Nohara Rin's words, Nanchuan You couldn't help but smile. "Obito-senpai is quite a passionate person..."

Regardless of what happened later, in this time before his darkening, Obito was undoubtedly a hot-blooded youth.

It wasn't strange for such a person, who couldn't stand to see his friend insulted, to do something like this.

"But regarding Kakashi-senpai..."

Thinking of Kakashi, Nanchuan You sighed softly, unsure how to comment at that moment. "He must be very sad right now..."

"Yeah." Nohara Rin nodded. "After I take this medicine to Obito, I'm planning to go check on Kakashi..."

"I hope all the seniors can recover."

Nanchuan You said softly, "I've already prepared the medicine. You can take it directly, Senior Rin."

"If you need anything else later, just come find me."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Nohara Rin nodded, said goodbye to Nanchuan You, and then left.

After she left, Nanchuan You looked at Nohara Rin's retreating figure and sighed deeply.

The war was about to begin.

The longer he stayed at Konoha Hospital, the more Nanchuan You could feel the changes.

As time passed, the entire atmosphere of Konoha began to become tense.

Many things seemed to be changing.

Finally, at a certain moment, the war completely broke out.

The war initially broke out between the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning.

Due to the conflicts from the last Shinobi World War, there had always been friction between the two sides.

This time, the two sides were also in constant conflict, each dispatching a large number of personnel to the border.

But at the critical moment when the great war was about to break out, a major event changed the situation.

The Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage, suddenly disappeared, vanishing from the battlefield.

Affected by this, the entire battlefield situation changed rapidly.

Upon hearing the news, the Land of Lightning immediately sent troops to Sunagakure, triggering a series of subsequent events.

Thus, the Third Great Ninja War began.

"Relax a bit."

Inside Konoha Hospital, Nanchuan You stood in front of a young boy, with one hand on his chest.

A faint stream of Chakra was injected into the boy's body, and under Nanchuan You's control, it quickly healed the injuries within the wounded, maintaining his vital signs.

With Nanchuan You's abilities, it was naturally impossible to instantly heal the wounded and restore them to normal.

Even if he could, the Chakra consumption would be unbearable.

Therefore, as a Medical Ninja, his main role was to preserve the wounded's lives, ensuring they wouldn't die from their injuries.

Being able to do this already made him an excellent Medical Ninja.

After finishing treating the newly arrived wounded, a woman walked over and looked at Nanchuan You in front of her, speaking in persuasion, "You, go down and rest for a while."

"You've been working for a long time. If you continue like this, it will be bad for your body."

"Yes, I'll leave it to you then."

Nanchuan You nodded and then slowly stepped back.

After leaving Konoha Hospital, the fatigue on his face disappeared. He looked ahead.

"The fighting is getting more and more intense."

Looking at the hurried crowds around him, this thought flashed through his mind.

Based on his recent feelings, the number of wounded being transported to the hospital from various places had significantly increased.

This indicated that the situation on the front lines was already very fierce, and the intensity was growing.
