"Hiruzen, this must be Uchiha Clan's conspiracy! It must be Akashi Uchiha who knows the law and breaks the law and deliberately coerces Yugakure's Gumu..."
After Danzo heard about Yugakure, he came immediately Hokage Office.
But...
Hiruzen Sarutobi knocked his pipe on the table at this time, and then interrupted, "Watch your words! Yugakure has officially submitted the document of intention to cooperate."
Danzo hesitated upon hearing this...
Seeing the look on his old partner's face at this time, Danzo immediately understood that he was very satisfied with the conditions and would never give up!
Danzo complained in his heart about Hiruzen Sarutobi's short-sightedness - although it seemed to be good for the village, if there were ten points of benefit, eight points would be taken up by the Uchiha Clan... Rounding off, the village lost six points!
"Even if we really want to send ninjas, those Uchiha Clan people will only do bad things, and after all, Uchiha Clan is a hidden danger to the village. We must not send them to Yugakure to perform long-term missions. I think it is better to send people from Root..." Danzo said quietly.
But he found that Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was wrong, so Danzo quickly changed his words: "I mean, with Orochimaru supervising Root, Root is less likely to have problems!"
Danzo used Orochimaru as an excuse to argue that "Root" did not exceed the red line of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But...
"Don't mention that guy!" Sarutobi said irritably.
Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi have been having frequent quarrels recently due to battlefield command matters - Orochimaru's powerful Sealing Technique makes it possible to quarrel across the air.
Danzo couldn't help but look slightly moved when he saw this.
I always feel that the relationship between Hiruzen and Orochimaru is getting worse and worse recently. Will this be an opportunity for Root?
But before he could get distracted, Sarutobi had already said, "Uchiha Clan has also received the news. This task was originally handled by Akaseki. Yugakure also discussed it directly with him. At this time, he chose to replace someone rashly. Uchiha Clan will not give up."
Sarutobi said and shook his head, obviously...
Although he doesn't want Uchiha Clan to grow bigger, he also doesn't want to force Uchiha Clan to counterattack.
Danzo heard this and immediately said, "Uchiha Clan already knows? Sure enough... Akashi Uchiha must have informed his own clan first. In the Uchiha Clan's eyes, there is no Konoha at all, only his own clan!"
"Okay! Taking over the supervision task at Yugakure will also be of great benefit to Konoha. Now it is Sunagakure who wants to take the leap." Sarutobi made a final decision.
Danzo wanted to say something after hearing this, but looking at Sarutobi's current appearance, he couldn't persuade him at all, so he turned to say, "At least Akashi Uchiha should be transferred back first, and other Jonin should be asked to contact Yugakure. How can Akashi Uchiha and Chunin be responsible for such a thing!"
However, Sarutobi still shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. When Akaseki was the acting captain of Yugakure's joint action team, his performance was fine. Now there is no room for arbitrarily delaying the powerful ninja's time...
"And if nothing bothers the two masters, Akaseki already has the foundation to communicate with Yugakure, so let him sit there for a month. One month later, Team 7 will go to the battlefield again."
Yugakure seems to have stabilized, and then it is time to earn pure merit. At this time, Dan Katō comes back to recuperate due to injury. Isn't the "co-captain" at this time giving away his qualifications for nothing?
Uchiha Clan actually enjoys the benefits of this kind of thing?
It is impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to not think of these. It seems that next time Jonin will recommend...
Danzo thought about this and was still aggrieved. However, looking at Sarutobi's reaction, it was obvious that he had made up his mind and had no choice but to leave Hokage Office in annoyance. The sound of the door closing was louder than usual.
Akaseki Squad, stayed at Yugakure until the end of May.
Although the Rain Ninja who came back from lurking twice and the assassination of Gumu were solved during this period, the overall situation was still stable. In today's cruel war, this can be considered a rest.
June 1st was the day when Konoha and Sand Ninja agreed to "evacuate Yugakure together." Akaseki also brought Konoha Ninja, and met Zong Xuan and others as a courtesy at the door of Yugakure.
Looking at the young Akaseki in front of him, Zong Xuan's expression became serious.
"Zong Xuan Jonin, the cooperation has been so smooth this month, I believe both of us are very happy... Then we will meet again in the future." Akaseki said with a smile.
After all, Akaseki is very happy, but Zong Xuan doesn't know.
"Captain Akaseki, I will remember this month of getting along with you for the rest of my life!" Zong Xuan said seriously.
After all, Zong Xuan suffered a lot from Akaseki this month!
First, they dealt with that Kakuzu, and although they forced him back, Sunagakure and Jonin were also seriously injured and dying, and later... they actually died.
Not to mention the loss of the rare Puppet - the Puppet flow is like this, while reducing the casualty rate of the Puppet division, it also greatly increases the cost of the battle!
Also...
At that time, we were in a hurry to take away the wounded, and Puppet suffered heavy losses, so some fragments and parts were left behind and were not recovered. Later, they found that they had disappeared.
I think I know where it went, but they don't admit it, and Zong Xuan can't do anything about it.
After that...
It is Yugakure and Konoha who communicated with each other privately. Now the other Sand Ninja will leave Yugakure, but here at Konoha, there are three Chunin clan members from the Uchiha Clan who remain!
The two villages concluded a long-term cooperation mission...
In other words, not only in terms of combat, but also in the strategic level of this "assisting Yugakure's village building mission", Sunagakure was one step behind, being given the advantage by Konoha and having a stronger influence on Yugakure.
And the one who did this is the Uchiha Clan kid in front of me!
Uchiha Clan, shouldn't we be more impulsive and brainless?--Zong Xuan complained in his heart.
However, on the surface, both parties remained polite and restrained.
"Ah? It takes a long time to remember..." Akaseki said with pretense of emotion - it's quite long, the word doesn't sound very long.
Obviously, this is Akaseki's earnest expectation.
Zhen Sha on the side could not help but look at Akaseki with some annoyance - what is the difference between this and directly cursing Zong Xuan to die early?
"Captain Akaseki will also go to Wetlands, right?" Zong Xuan asked in return.
"Yeah? It seems that the day when we see each other again won't be too far away." Akaseki also stopped smiling at this time.
Both sides know...
If we see you again in Wetlands later, it won't be such a harmonious scene, but you will have to endure the cruelty!
After that, the three Akaseki Squad were also separated from the other Konoha Ninja - the three Akaseki were ordered to go directly to Wetlands.
The mission of Akaseki Squad in Wetlands is familiar but also strange...
Because the current situation on the battlefield is that Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Rain Ninja are in a stalemate in Wetlands. Each of the three parties breaks out contact wars from time to time. The scope of the battle is so large that the entire Wetlands is almost a war zone. Therefore, Konoha has set up three to six branches in real time outside the medical headquarters.
Akaseki Squad is in a branch this time, and... it is the general branch!
Although there is another Jonin of the Uchiha Clan in the branch who is responsible for the guard duty, the medical branch itself is run by Akaseki as the commander.
In this regard, Akaseki and the other three have already had experience.
Although they were at the medical headquarters before, the three Akaseki were in different task departments, so they were very familiar with various processes...
This came from the appointment from the headquarters, and it is probably because of this.
Akaseki The three of them followed suit and ran this small medical branch with about twenty people as a miniature version of the original medical headquarters.
The three of them look like Chunin, but...
In terms of medical treatment, not only is Ranwu already a capable Medical Ninja, who can organize treatment, but Akaseki also has the ability to deal with injuries that can be called bugs.
Minato's Sensory Ninjutsu is also very powerful, avoiding the possibility of being attacked by sneak attacks to the greatest extent, and also increasing the efficiency of responding to the wounded team.
Two months have passed.
In this medical branch, more than a hundred Konoha Ninja were rescued, half of whom were ordinary temporary recuperation, and the other half were either returned to the battlefield after serious injuries, or returned to the rear to recuperate with minor injuries... However, the rescue failed six times, and only the bodies were returned to the village.
During this period, it suffered three attacks, two strong attacks from Sand Ninja and one sneak attack from Rain Ninja.
One time, Akaseki decided to move. The other two times, he defeated the opponent. One of them even achieved great results!
Two months later, due to changes in the situation in the war zone, the command headquarters ordered that the medical branch at Akaseki be relocated. This is not surprising, as the locations of these medical branches change at any time.
The battles between ninjas are different from the marches and battles of ordinary armies. Before the decisive battle, most of the time a war is a small-scale, small-unit contact battle.
The battlefield is fragmented, the fighting area is large, and the situation changes quickly!
Now the entire Wetlands is in a stalemate stage, and the "sphere of influence" of the three parties is changing every day. The relatively safe zone surrounded by our own team today may become behind enemy lines tomorrow...
It is precisely because of this that the number of medical branches has been fluctuating from three to six.
After the medical branch was cancelled, the three Akaseki were not transferred elsewhere, but... could return to the village to rest.
In total, Akaseki Squad has been out for three months since Yugakure.
Generally speaking, as long as conditions permit, war missions arranged in the village will also have rotation breaks - after all, the intensity of ninja battles is too great!
Ordinary armies on the battlefield may not have real close combat for ten days and a half, but the ninja war has been fought almost all the time. Either while fighting or on the way to fight, there will be a contact battle every two or three days, and fighting will involve blood...
Even if there is no fighting for half of the days, they will not be stationed like an ordinary army. Instead, they will be traveling in the wild, preparing for sneak attacks, or ambushing the enemy.
If you are really on the front line for three months, even if you are not injured, you will basically be at your mental limit.
Although the three Akaseki are not on the front line but are considered Support Unit, they are still young after all, so they were transferred back this time.
And...
I heard that Konoha is going to hold a promotion discussion for Jonin again!
Akaseki I estimate that I have a good chance this time...
