"The battlefield truly is a place to hone one's character!"
Sensing a breakthrough in his throwing skills, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly, then focused intently on the Yakunin Village ninjas before him. Unfortunately, the Konoha forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, forcing the Yakunin Village ninjas into retreat, and they had completely lost any will to resist.
Therefore, taking advantage of the moment when the ninjas of Yakunin Village were unable to attack and were focused on defense, Uchiha Yue began using Medical Ninjutsu to treat the wounded on the battlefield and win over the hearts of the people. Moreover, it was precisely because of Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue actions of helping the wounded that the ninjas of Konoha had a better impression of him. Invisibly, Uchiha Yue made the reputation of the Uchiha Clan soar among the Konoha's ranks, after all, Uchiha Yue was also a ninja of the Uchiha Clan, and those ninjas of Konoha could easily recognize his clan crest.
However, seeing Uchiha Yue's outstanding performance on the battlefield, the Hyuga Clan ninjas couldn't help but feel some resentment. On one hand, they didn't want Uchiha Yue to perform so well. On the other hand, most of the wounded Hyuga Clan members had regained their hope of survival thanks to Uchiha Yue's Medical Ninjutsu. Therefore, the Hyuga Clan looked at Uchiha Yue with rather complicated expressions, but Uchiha Yue completely ignored them.
For two whole days, Uchiha Yue fought tirelessly on the front lines, prompting Orochimaru to secretly admire Uchiha Yue perseverance.
However, just as the Konoha forces were about to annihilate the Yakunin Village, Sunagakure ninja suddenly entered the battlefield and launched a counterattack against the Konoha forces. It should be noted that the Sunagakure ninja had been resting for a long time and were far beyond the capabilities of the exhausted Konoha ninja. Immediately realizing the heavy casualties among the Konoha ninja, Orochimaru prepared to have the Konoha ninja withdraw from the battlefield and launch another attack when the opportunity arose.
However, when Uchiha Yue returned to the Konoha camp, he noticed that the atmosphere within the Konoha was slightly off.
Despite the fact that Konoha had won a true victory, Uchiha Yue couldn't see the slightest bit of joy on the faces of those Konoha ninjas.
Then, Uchiha Yue saw Kushina Uzumaki resting there. He slowly walked up to Kushina Uzumaki and asked in a low voice, "Kushina, didn't our village defeat the Yakunin Village? Why do our ninjas look like they've lost a battle? They're all dejected and show no joy at all!"
"Moon, you really are inexperienced!"
Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Kushina Uzumaki sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, our village did win, but we were ultimately defeated by those bastards from Sunagakure! If it weren't for those guys from Sunagakure, we could have withdrawn from the front lines after defeating the ninjas from Yakunin Village. Do you know how many ninjas on the front lines haven't been back to the village in so long? How can our village's ninjas be happy to see the fruits of victory snatched away by Sunagakure?"
"Oh, I see!"
As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded slightly and immediately prepared to heal Kushina Uzumaki.
While fighting on the front lines, perhaps only Uchiha Yue was somewhat shrewd, as he knew his own strength. Therefore, he didn't act rashly at all on the battlefield, and his injuries were the least severe. Moreover, Uchiha Yue just had time to treat the wounded soldiers of Konoha, so his own injuries had naturally healed long ago; only his clothes were badly torn.
In contrast, Kushina Uzumaki was covered in horrific wounds, many of which contained toxins, so she naturally needed to be treated properly by Uchiha Yue. Moreover, because Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki were very familiar with each other, Kushina Uzumaki did not thank Uchiha Yue, but simply silently accepted his treatment.
However, just as Uchiha Yue had finished healing Kushina Uzumaki's injuries, Minato Namikaze unexpectedly appeared in front of them.
"Tsuki-kun, Kushina, you're both here!"
Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki's injuries had been healed, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly at Uchiha Yue and said, "Perfect timing. Lord Orochimaru asked me to summon you to discuss how to deal with those Yakunin Village. Right now, Lord Orochimaru is definitely not in a good mood. If it weren't for those Sunagakure interfering, we could have achieved a perfect victory. So, let's hurry to Lord Orochimaru's place, lest Lord Orochimaru become angry!"
"Us?"
Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Uchiha Yue pointed to himself with slight surprise and asked, "Lord Orochimaru wants to discuss how to deal with the Yakunin Village. Is there anything I need to do?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Uchiha Yue's surprised expression, Minato Namikaze Uchiha Yue grabbed him and said, "Alright, it's all Lord Orochimaru's decision, so you can come with me! Kushina, you come too!"
Without giving Uchiha Yue any chance to refuse, Minato Namikaze led him and Kushina Uzumaki to Orochimaru's camp. At this moment, Orochimaru's camp was filled with familiar faces, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Hyuga Hiashi, and other famous Konoha ninjas, all gathered in Orochimaru's camp.
However, Orochimaru was clearly not in a good mood, so when Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and the others arrived, the people in the camp merely nodded slightly as a greeting. Then, Shikaku Nara approached Orochimaru and said, "Lord Orochimaru, with the Sunagakure coming to support the Yakunin Village, our battle will likely be delayed for a while. After all, those Sunagakure guys have been conserving their strength for a long time, and we might suffer losses if we engage them head-on."
"Oh, I know."
As soon as Shikaku Nara speaking, Orochimaru did not agree with Nara Ji's words.
However, to Uchiha Yue's slight surprise, Orochimaru's gaze fell on him the next second, and he asked, "Yue, what's your opinion?"
"Well.."
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the tent were focused on Uchiha Yue, which made Uchiha Yue feel slightly embarrassed.
However, since Orochimaru had asked the question, Uchiha Yue couldn't hesitate for long.
After Uchiha Yue analyzed Orochimaru's mindset, he walked directly up to Orochimaru and said, "Lord Orochimaru, I propose the destruction of the Land of Medicine!"
"Whoosh..."
