Seeing Minato Namikaze and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio chatting happily, Uchiha Yue didn't join in. Instead, he stayed there with Mikasa's caravan to undergo inspection. Border checks were very strict, unlike in the original story where you could simply walk across the border. Therefore, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi guarded the caravan for a full half hour before finally passing through the Konoha ninja's inspection. Next, they would cross the border to reach the Konoha.

However, Uchiha Yue never expected that just as they were preparing to depart, Minato Namikaze would arrive with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Upon seeing the trio, Ino-Shika-Cho Kushina Uzumaki's mood brightened, and she greeted them immediately, saying, "Shikaku, Inoichi, Choza, it's been a long time!"

"Hahaha, Kushina, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Choza Akimichi laughed heartily and said, "Kushina, I really didn't expect to run into you and Minato at the border. Some time ago, Shikaku, Inoichi, and I heard that you had started training the Genin in our village. If I'm not mistaken, the two people next to you are the best Genin in our village, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi, right?"

"That's right!"

As soon as Choza Akimichi finished speaking, Kushina Uzumaki smiled and introduced, "This is Uchiha Yue, and the guy next to him who doesn't smile much is Hatake Kakashi."

Hello, seniors!

After Kushina Uzumaki- Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi, not wanting to be impolite, addressed the Ino-Shika-Cho directly. Because of their excellent relationship with Minato Namikaze and Ino-Shika-Cho, the Kushina Uzumaki trio didn't neglect Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi. Even Ino-Shika-Cho Inoichi Yamanaka, the most arrogant member of the trio, nodded slightly to Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi, showing goodwill.

However, just after Uchiha Yue and the others greeted the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Minato Namikaze suddenly thought of something, then turned to Shikaku Nara and said, "Shikaku, are we short of medicinal herbs at the front lines? As you know, the caravan we're escorting has run into some trouble and wants to dispose of the medicinal herbs they have. I think if the front lines are short of medicinal herbs, why don't we just buy them directly?"

"Minato, the previous medicinal herbs were indeed insufficient."

"But.."

At this moment, Shikaku Nara hesitated for a moment before replying, "However, the caravan you're escorting belongs to the Land of Medicine. If there are spies from the Yakunin Village among them, things will get complicated. Therefore, we need to report the matter of purchasing medicinal herbs to Lord Orochimaru. Minato, why don't you escort the caravan to the camp? You can ask Lord Orochimaru directly!"

"Alright, that's the only way."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, and then prepared to lead the caravan to the camp in Konoha.

However, just as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Shikaku Nara suddenly remembered something and turned to Uchiha Yue, saying, "Tsukuyomi, if I remember correctly, you should be Lady Tsunade's disciple, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing Shikaku Nara's question, Uchiha Yue nodded without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, smiles appeared on the faces of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio Inoichi Yamanaka then patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder with a smile and said, "That's great! You may not know, but the battle at the front is extremely fierce, and our medical-nin here are overwhelmed! Yue, since you are Lady Tsunade's disciple, we are planning to recruit you to the front for a while to help treat the wounded. Is that alright?"

"It's possible, but..."

Uchiha Yue hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to Minato Namikaze and said, "However, this matter still requires Minato- kun's consent, after all, I am Minato- kun's subordinate."

"Hey, Minato definitely won't have any objections!"

Arriving beside Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi familiarly put his arm around Minato Namikaze's shoulder and said, "Moreover, we need to recruit more than just you, Yue. Any ninja who passes through the border and completes a mission needs to be recruited to the front lines. Lately, those guys from Yakunin Village have been acting strangely, and Lord Orochimaru is currently discussing a counterattack. Therefore, you will soon receive Lord Orochimaru's summons; we're just reminding you."

"Shikaku, what's the situation at the front?"

As soon as Choza Akimichi finished speaking, Minato Namikaze simply nodded slightly and began to inquire about Shikaku Nara's previous battle.

At this moment, Shikaku Nara sighed helplessly and slowly shook his head, saying, "It seems that another war is about to break out. We are very likely to go to war with the Land of Medicine, and even the Sunagakure of the Land of Wind may get involved. Now we can only hope that the war will not break out again. After all, the Ninja War has only just ended, and even our Konoha needs to recuperate!"

Upon hearing this, not only did the Ino-Shika-Cho trio fall silent, but even Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze's expressions became tense. Fortunately, Uchiha Yue and the others were not far from Konoha's camp, so they quickly arrived at Konoha's frontline camp. However, Mikasa's caravan was obviously not allowed to enter, and Konoha ninjas were guarding them like prisoners, giving them no chance to approach the camp and not allowing the Mikasa members to move freely.

However, Mikasa seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately instructed her caravan members not to provoke the Konoha ninjas. After Mikasa's caravan was settled, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, along with the Ino-Shika-Cho Mikasa, went to meet Orochimaru, the highest-ranking officer at the front. As for Uchiha Yue, he was directly assigned to the medical-nin team by Shikaku Nara and went to the temporary hospital at the front.

However, Uchiha Yue never expected that he would run into an acquaintance in the temporary hospital on the front lines.

Immediately afterwards...

As Uchiha Yue stepped into the temporary hospital camp, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Moon, weren't you on a mission to escort a caravan?"

"What... what happened? You've come to the front lines too!"
