"Damn it!" Yohei and Xu blurted out a curse.

Saori covered her mouth in surprise.

Hizashi with his Byakugan activated, Hiyashi was determined to see what had just happened.

Only Minato seemed to suddenly understand, clapping his hands happily, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Taiichi, you're so smart!"

As he spoke, he extended his right hand and began to gather Chakra.

The first part went smoothly, with a Light Sphere Chakra condensing in his palm. However, as Minato began to control the flow of the Chakra within, the difficulty began to emerge.

The round Chakra ball began to twist wildly, as if it would explode at any moment, but it slowly returned to calm under Minato's control.

This doesn't mean that Minato's Chakra Control reached Taiichi's level. Minato's mental strength was also high enough, and it was with the support of his mental strength that he achieved the Taiichi level of Chakra Control as Taiichi.

After a long while, with Minato's continued attempts, the Chakra ball in his palm finally stabilized, and the pale blue Chakra ball emitted a deep hum.

Everyone stared intently at Minato, watching to see how effective his technique would be.

Minato didn't disappoint; he found a similar large tree and slammed it down on top of it.

"Swoosh!" The sound of Chakra ball piercing through a large tree!

"Bang!" The sound of a large tree exploding into dust!

"We did it!" Saori exclaimed, and everyone gathered around to congratulate Minato.

Minato was also very happy, but he still knew whose credit it was. "Taiichi, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, this Ninjutsu wouldn't have been completed so quickly!"

"Senior Disciple Brother Minato, you're too modest. You've already mastered almost this technique; you just lack a little inspiration for the rest!"

Taiichi remained humble, not taking any credit. He genuinely hadn't expected to succeed so quickly; it seemed he had underestimated the importance of Chakra Control Lv11.

Minato no longer refused. He would remember this kindness in his heart, and besides, they were all Senior Disciple Brother, so he wouldn't hold it against them.

"Taiichi, why don't you name this move? Make it something cool, awesome, and mind-blowing!" Minato suggested. "Look, how about 'Light Wheel Super Cool Rotating Taichi Inspired Sphere'?"

An awkward silence fell over the room as everyone wondered what a strange name it was.

Taiichi is even more so; how come there are two Taiichi in his name!

To prevent Minato, the naming genius, from coming up with any more outrageous names, Taiichi decisively provided the answer.

"Rasengan!"

"What?" Minato didn't react for a moment.

"I said it'll be called— Rasengan!"

"Okay, okay!" The others chimed in, saying it was much more reliable than that Light Wheel Super Cool Rotating Taichi Inspired Sphere, and besides, the name Rasengan was indeed quite good.

Thus, the world where only Minato was injured was achieved.

At this moment, he was still muttering to himself: What's wrong with the Light Wheel Super Cool Rotating Taichi Inspired Sphere? I think it sounds great!

After the jokes ended, everyone sat down and chatted again, but this time the conversation revolved around Ninjutsu, focusing on questions and problems they encountered in daily life.

Fortunately, there were Jonin masters like Minato and Hizashi here, and they were happy to answer the juniors' questions!

The next day, after the entire squad had rested sufficiently, they set off again for the front-line Camp.

The team didn't reach their destination until noon!

After a thorough identity check, Taiichi and his group finally met Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief of the area.

Orochimaru had actually arrived at the Camp only two days earlier than them, and he was extremely busy as he had just taken over the Camp.

The situation at the Konoha Camp wasn't very good before. The previous Camp Commander was just a senior ninja with enough experience, but he didn't have much leadership ability.

This is of course not a problem in peacetime; he just needs to manage and assign tasks step by step.

But things are different now. His lack of ability has led to chaos in the management of a large frontline Camp. Soldiers often don't know their generals, and generals don't know their soldiers. Everything is in disarray until Orochimaru arrives, at which point the situation improves.

Playing with the Defense Map in his hand, Orochimaru looked at the group of people in front of him, his eyes revealing an undisguised desire.

Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga, needless to say, were already elite Jonin in the village.

He had heard of the reputation of Taiichi Squad on the southern border, especially Taichi Matsushita. How come he hadn't realized he was such a genius back then!

"Minato, now that your team is here, why don't you stay a little longer? We're short-handed here anyway," Orochimaru said bluntly.

"This... Lord Orochimaru, we still need to return to the village to report. You see..." Minato hesitated, after all, they had not received any mission to support the Northern Camp.

"Your mission ended the moment the Defense Map was delivered to me!" Orochimaru decisively interrupted Minato. "Besides, you don't need to stay too long. I'll issue your mission according to the normal procedure."

Hearing Orochimaru say this, Minato knew he couldn't refuse anymore. He looked at Hizashi and Taiichi, and seeing that they didn't object, he nodded in agreement.

Orochimaru was delighted to see this and immediately began assigning tasks to everyone.

Minato and Hizashi, as Jonin, were immediately dispatched to the front lines to sabotage the Cloud Village's logistics and Resupply.

Yohei, Saori, and Xu were formed into a small team and sent out to patrol the border.

Taiichi, however, was left behind by Orochimaru and sent to the Medical Camp in the rear to treat the wounded.

In Orochimaru's own words, "The front lines don't lack a Jonin, but the rear desperately needs an excellent Medical Ninja."

It turns out that, due to the inaction of the previous Commander, most of the Medical Ninja dispatched by Konoha were assigned to the southern Sunagakure front, which led to a shortage of medical personnel on the Northern Front Cloud Village front.

This can be seen from the fact that Taiichi was personally led into the Medical Camp by Orochimaru.

"See that, Taiichi? Isn't it here where your abilities are needed even more?" Orochimaru's tone was cold, but his words warmed the hearts of the wounded before him.

Taiichi was shocked by what he saw. It wasn't a formal war yet, just some localized conflicts before the main battle, but the wounded soldiers had already filled the entire Medical Camp.

Many of the relatively minor injuries were simply bandaged and then removed from the Camp to make way for the more seriously wounded.

"Lord Orochimaru, how—how could this happen? Konoha's medical system—shouldn't be this incompetent!" Taiichi's voice trembled; this was utterly disregard for human life.

"An incompetent general can lead to the downfall of an entire army." Orochimaru sighed. "The last Commander, who gave reckless orders and concealed the true situation of the Camp, has already been sent back to Konoha."

"Damn it, that's outrageous!" Taiichi cursed. "Which bastard did this? How could the higher-ups let someone like that be Commander?"

Orochimaru watched Taiichi cursing with great interest, Taiichi began to wonder if he had done something wrong, before finally uttering a casual remark.

He was a veteran Jonin of the Sarutobi Clan, a contemporary of the Third Hokage.

Taiichi moment, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he felt mentally exhausted.

Without further ado, he created two Shadow Clones, which headed towards the Medical Camp together.

Many of the Medical Ninja in the Camp had worked at Konoha Hospital and knew Taiichi.

Upon seeing his arrival, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Seeing Orochimaru following behind Taiichi, they naturally knew that Orochimaru had brought them reinforcements.

"Taiichi, you've come to the front lines too!"

"Taiichi, with you here, things will be much easier for us!"

Many Medical Ninja greeted Taiichi, and Taiichi politely responded to each one.

Orochimaru then realized that Taiichi had already gained a reputation within Konoha's medical system that was completely disproportionate to his age.

At this moment, Taiichi's Shadow Clone walked towards the lightly wounded, his hand glowing with the light of the Mystical Palm Technique. The entire process from examination to treatment for each wounded person could often be completed in just a few minutes.

Orochimaru, who was following nearby, quickly observed that Taiichi's Medical Ninjutsu was on par with Tsunade's, and in terms of healing effectiveness alone, it even surpassed Tsunade's level.

Orochimaru's eyes revealed unprecedented excitement, as if he had spotted a delicious prey and desperately wanted to swallow it whole.

Taiichi's true form arrived at a seriously injured person's location. The Medical Ninja who was examining the injured person immediately made way for Taiichi's arrival.

Taiichi condensed Chakra Scalpel in his hand, and with a casual wave, he cut open the wounded man's clothes. The nurses beside him immediately assisted in cleaning up the patient's clothes.

A tree-shaped, radiating burn was visible on the patient's left chest, near the heart area. It was likely caused by Lightning Style attack. Taiichi immediately gathered Chakra and probed the patient's chest.

Sure enough, ventricular fibrillation had occurred, and if it had been delayed any longer, he would probably have died soon. Taiichi acted decisively, scanning the area and finding no professional equipment, he immediately prepared to take matters into his own hands.

A bright green light shone from his left hand as he pressed it against the patient's abdomen to maintain his life. The intense life energy was so palpable that even Orochimaru, who was standing behind him, could sense it.

With his right hand hovering above the patient's heart, sensing the heartbeat, Taiichi suddenly clenched his fist, and a flash of lightning struck the patient's heart.

The patient shuddered, but the heart rate monitor showed that his heartbeat had returned to normal. With the most critical crisis resolved, all that remained was basic internal and external burn treatment, which was not difficult for Medical Ninja Mystical Palm Technique.

Watching Taiichi treat the patient methodically, Orochimaru suppressed his shock and left the Medical Camp.

What a terrifying brat! He can use two Chakra natures simultaneously and has such precise timing and accuracy; even he couldn't do that.

Is this what it means to have completely Tsunade's skills? That's utter nonsense! This is already surpassing her! Teacher Sarutobi's information is ridiculously outdated!

Orochimaru returned to his tent, deeply shocked. He still had many matters to attend to, and he wouldn't have made this trip if it weren't for the importance of the Medical Camp.

But it was this observation that made him realize how precious Taiichi was. Regardless of his actual strength, his medical skills alone were more valuable than two more Jonin.

Orochimaru was already pondering how to keep Taiichi at the Camp. Conventional methods wouldn't work, he had no real connection with Taiichi, and he couldn't compete with Jiraiya. It was a real headache.

Looking down at the numerous documents that needed approval and the tasks awaiting assignment, Orochimaru sighed helplessly. He decided to deal with the immediate matters first.

The large Northern Camp shouldn't have changed much with the addition of six ninjas, but if four of these six ninjas...

If someone has the strength of Jonin, then the situation is different.

Many of the backlog of difficult tasks have been resolved, and the wounded in the Medical Camp are gradually recovering and returning to work.

This freed up even more manpower, and everything in the Camp was developing in a positive direction.

On the third day after the team arrived at the Camp, Taiichi finally left the Medical Camp. After three days of intensive treatment, the overcrowded Medical Camp was finally relieved and was no longer in the state of being full of wounded people when they first arrived.

After three days of treatment, Taiichi established his prestige. Although he did not hold any official position, everyone who met him would respectfully address him as "Lord Taiichi".

That day, Taiichi arrived at Orochimaru's tent with a long list in his hand. After greeting him, he handed over the tent.

"Lord Orochimaru, these are medical equipment that the Medical Camp currently lacks. With them, even ordinary people with only basic training can perform basic emergency rescue. Please request these supplies from the village."

Orochimaru glanced at the list; it was all medical equipment, a hundred or so items, in varying quantities.

"So much?" Orochimaru's lips curled into a sneer, then he answered without hesitation, "Alright, since it was you who suggested it, Taiichi, then there's definitely no problem. I'll ask the village for these supplies and try to send them along with the next Resupply shipment!"

Taiichi's mouth opened slightly, but he swallowed back what he was about to say. He was worried that there were too many supplies and Orochimaru wouldn't be able to handle them all at once, so he had arranged the supplies according to their importance.

Taiichi was genuinely touched that Orochimaru agreed so readily, realizing that Orochimaru truly possessed a unique personal charm.

No wonder so many people followed Orochimaru even after he defected in the original story.

Seeing that Orochimaru was so easy to talk to, Taiichi pressed on and brought up the second thing he had come for.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Medical Camp is now running smoothly, and I'd like to rejoin my team to carry out some missions together."

Orochimaru looked up in surprise upon hearing this. To be honest, he didn't want Taiichi to go out. What if something happened to such a valuable talent?

However, considering Taiichi's identity and his legendary strength, which was said to be no less than that of Medical Ninjutsu, Orochimaru agreed.

"Sure, Taiichi, but if the Medical Camp needs any help, you absolutely must go there." Orochimaru added a clarification to his statement.

Having received Orochimaru's approval, Taiichi didn't linger and excitedly went to find his team. He had made an appointment with Yohei and the others yesterday to carry out the mission together today.

Inside the tent, Orochimaru pulled out the mission logs for Taiichi Squad from the past two days, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"That's really impressive. A Chunin squad, not only is the Captain incredibly strong, but the members are all quite capable as well. I just wonder if our teacher knows about this?"

The Uchiha ninja who has awakened the Three-Tomoe, and Saori Furukawa who is skilled in Sealing Jutsu, are both talented individuals.

How could such a small team be paired with someone like He Kaze Wafu someone like her in such a team simply drags down the team's overall level.

Then, find the report from the previous pursuit mission that Minato submitted earlier; Kaze Wafu's performance was simply terrible.

A familiar air of conspiracy hung in the air. Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, and a low, guttural laugh echoed from the empty tent.
