Logistics and Accumulation
The next morning, Taiichi, Yohei, Saori got up before dawn. After finishing their morning prayers, Taiichi went to the Medical Camp alone. Yohei and Saori went to find Kakashi and the others to prepare for a mission together.
Compared to a month ago, the Medical Camp now has many more Medical Ninja. This is not only because the apprentices who were originally just doing odd jobs can now perform some simple medical treatments, but also because the village has recently transferred a new batch of Medical Ninja here.
Even so, medical resources on the front lines remain extremely scarce, and most importantly, there is a severe shortage of truly skilled medical personnel.
Unlike low-level Medical Ninja who can be easily trained in two or three months, Jonin- level Medical Ninja capable of treating seriously injured patients are never produced through simple training.
Those talents are produced through long periods of study and even longer periods of practice. Even Taiichi, who has an overpowered skill set, only achieved his current level of medical expertise by working part-time at Konoha Hospital whenever he had free time.
Taiichi had barely appeared at the entrance of the Medical Camp when he was spotted by the busy Director Fujita.
"Taiichi, you're finally back! Hurry, there are several seriously wounded people waiting for treatment."
As he spoke, Director Fujita casually picked up a white coat from the clothes rack next to him, took three steps at a time, walked over to Taiichi, threw the coat into Taiichi's hand, and at the same time grabbed Taiichi and pulled him towards the intensive care unit.
"Director, Director, I can walk by myself. You lead the way; it'll be faster that way." Taiichi quickly took two steps to catch up with Director Fujita, while also making sure to put on his white coat quickly.
Director Fujita was so overjoyed to see Taiichi that he lost his composure. He has now calmed down and released Taiichi.
But he still walked briskly ahead, explaining the condition of the seriously injured patients as he went, not wanting to waste a single second.
Taiichi to Director Fujita's introduction, he had a general idea of what the patient would be like. It was a typical case of internal bleeding from combat injuries. Ordinary Mystical Palm Technique could not stop the bleeding. If things continued like this, the patient would bleed to death in just a few minutes.
This might be difficult for an ordinary Medical Ninja to solve, but it was a piece of cake for Taiichi.
This is a matter of skill level in Medical Ninjutsu; Taiichi's healing effects are far beyond what ordinary Medical Ninja can achieve.
When Taiichi finally saw the patient, he realized that the symptoms described by Director Fujita were too mild. The ninja in front of him was not just suffering from ordinary internal bleeding; the overflowing blood had filled his abdominal cavity, compressing his lungs and making it impossible for him to breathe.
Taiichi forward, his hands radiating a rich green light. With his senses activated, he easily located the bleeding point on his liver. The green light quickly converged and concentrated on his liver, and the abundant Yang Release Chakra, accompanied by the Mystical Palm Technique, rapidly healed his wound.
At the same time, one hand freed up, conjuring Chakra Scalpel, and made a small incision below his ribs. The Delicate Illness Extraction Technique followed immediately, and the blood that had been accumulating in his abdominal cavity flowed out rapidly.
The abdomen, which had been swollen like a ball, quickly returned to its original shape, the diaphragm was no longer compressed, and breathing returned to normal.
About 10 minutes later, Taiichi withdrew his hands. At this point, the patient no longer had any wounds. The only remaining issue was the obvious blood loss, which would require rest and recovery later.
"Taiichi, you're really amazing. Why is it that your Mystical Palm Technique can stop the bleeding so quickly, while ours can't? Is there some secret to it?" Director Fujita asked, echoing the thoughts of all the Medical Ninja present.
It is important to know that the most common injury on the battlefield is unstoppable bleeding. Whether it is an internal or external injury, as long as the bleeding can be stopped in time, Medical Ninja have many ways to save your life. However, many injuries are caused by the inability to stop the bleeding, which leads to the death of the injured due to blood loss.
If everyone could learn Taiichi's method to quickly stop bleeding from the wounded, the medical skills of all the Medical Ninja present would rise to a new level.
Taiichi looked at all the Medical Ninja present with expectant expressions, and he was both amused and exasperated. There was no shortcut to this; as long as your foundation was solid enough, anyone could do it.
"It's not that I don't want to tell everyone, it's actually not a secret at all." Taiichi organized his thoughts, trying to figure out how to explain it in a way that would make everyone understand.
"First, your understanding of the Yang Release Nature Transformation must reach the Jonin level (Lv6). Only then can your Chakra have enough vitality to stimulate and protect the patient's life."
Secondly, your Mystical Palm Technique must reach the level of mastery (Lv6), which means you have your own unique understanding of it and can simplify the number of Hand Seals on your own.
Finally, your Chakra Control must reach a level of exquisite precision (Lv10), specifically, being able to reduce Chakra to the thickness of a hair that can pass through the eye of a needle.
As Taiichi by one, all the Medical Ninja present felt a sense of despair.
Let alone three conditions, most of the Medical Ninja here can't even meet one of them, let alone that kind of meticulous Chakra Control. Even Director Fujita can only turn Chakra into a thread about one millimeter thick, which is a far cry from the thickness of a hair.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have lost all confidence, Taiichi had to share some of his cultivation tips to encourage them.
"Actually, we are all professional Medical Ninja. By focusing on the rhythm of life during treatments, the Yang Release Nature Transformation will naturally become stronger over time. That's how I gradually progressed."
Sure enough, the path taken by the pioneers was very valuable to learn from. Most of the Medical Ninja regained their fighting spirit. As for the remaining group, Taiichi could only say that there was nothing he could do to help them. If they couldn't even handle this kind of setback, then they deserved to be like this for the rest of their lives.
Next, in order to increase the speed of treatment, Taiichi directly created two Shadow Clones to participate in the treatment. He did not need to completely heal the injured. As long as he treated the most difficult parts, the rest could be taken over by other Medical Ninja.
In this way, the efficiency of treatment was greatly improved, and many patients waiting in line at the back saw this and even their cries of pain were greatly reduced.
And so, Taiichi stayed at the Medical Camp for a week. During this week, the Medical Camp displayed unprecedented efficiency. As long as they were able to return to the Medical Camp, none of the seriously wounded died in their hospital beds.
The reason it can achieve this effect is naturally because the Taiichi Yang Release Nature Transformation has reached Lv11. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, its effect on these injuries caused by battle is immediate.
This small miracle quickly spread among the Konoha Ninja, and with this miracle, Taichi Matsushita's name once again reached everyone's ears.
At first, some people didn't quite believe it, especially the more than 1,000 newly arrived ninjas, as it was simply too unbelievable.
But as time went on, more and more wounded, even the seriously wounded, recovered from the medical camp and returned to the front line of the battlefield. Everyone then realized that Konoha had produced another top-notch medical ninja after Tsunade.
The morale of all the ninjas in the Camp was boosted, which had a very obvious consequence. The Konoha ninjas became bolder and more reckless in battle, with some even risking minor injuries to deliver a powerful blow to the Sunagakure.
Some changes may not be very noticeable to an individual, but even the smallest changes become significant when magnified on the entire battlefield.
Moreover, this change is a zero-sum game; even if Konoha's ninjas are injured, they can recover quickly and return to the battle. Sunagakure, on the other hand, doesn't have this ability. Once they're injured, they're injured. It's like a snowball effect; the gap between the two sides will only widen.
Sunagakure was also gradually feeling the strain. Not only were casualties increasing, but even the previously evenly matched battle lines were being slowly compressed and pushed back. This silent change left Sunagakure bewildered. How could the battle be getting worse and worse as it went on?
In the Central Army Tent the Sunagakure front-line camp.
"What's going on? Our battles have become increasingly passive lately, and we haven't heard of any powerful figures arriving at the Konoha front!"
Rasa was filled with frustration. The situation had been very favorable, and even with the arrival of Konoha reinforcements, they still held the advantage. But without warning, the battle went from bad to worse, and now Konoha had turned the tables on them.
Chiyo and Ebizo were also somewhat puzzled, but they still had to answer the Kazekage's question. "I also asked some people who had fought against Konoha Ninja, but I didn't find anything special, except that their morale has been particularly high lately."
Ebizo chimed in, "It's the same on my side. Many of our ninjas say that when they fight Konoha Ninja, it's as if they have a blood feud with them, like the murder of their parents. They'd rather be injured themselves than not strike us."
This made Rasa even more puzzled. Ninjas are human too, and they have all the same emotions and desires, some even more so. They can feel fear and cowardice.
For the average ninja, war is a large-scale mission, though it cannot be ruled out that some ninjas do go to the battlefield with the sentiment of protecting their homeland.
But this is certainly not all, or even just a small part. And now, according to Chiyo and Ebizo's investigation, it seems that everyone in Konoha is extremely enthusiastic about fighting, and doesn't even care about their own lives.
"There's definitely something wrong here, Ebizo. Activate our Secret Agent and investigate. This is very important to us!"
"Okay, I'll investigate as soon as possible!"
Ebizo also understood the importance of the matter. This ability to subtly change the course of the war, whether it be a person or something else, must be eliminated as much as possible, otherwise the war would be too difficult to fight.
Meanwhile, after a period of adjustment and treatment, the previously crowded Medical Camp has returned to normal levels of patients.
The group also reached a tacit understanding with Taiichi, not relying on him for treatment all the time. They would only ask him to handle the difficult cases when there were seriously injured patients, and the rest would be handled by other Medical Ninja.
Taiichi was also intentionally training these Medical Ninja. After all, the more you practice, the faster you can improve in this field. And in future wars, the demand for Medical Ninja will only increase. It is the right thing to do to take advantage of the current opportunity to train more powerful Medical Ninja.
This tacit understanding effectively reduced Taiichi's workload, and he gradually discovered that he now had a lot of time to do other things.
For example, continuing research on the Flying Thunder God, Advanced Taijutsu and meditation.
Just half a month after Taiichi arrived at the front line, his physical fitness finally improved once again after a long period of training.
[Through prolonged practice of Advanced Taijutsu, your body has been honed, Strength +1, Agility +1]
Improving physical fitness is like laying a foundation; the stronger the foundation, the taller the building can be. Similarly, the stronger the body, the more fully Taiyi can unleash the power of Taiichi existing Ninjutsu and swordsmanship.
This progress further motivated Taiichi to spend more time training his physical fitness.
At the same time, after a week of waiting, Ebizo finally received a message from the Secret Agent.
It turns out that the culprit behind all of this was a ninja named Taichi Matsushita. Since he arrived with the last reinforcements, Konoha's Medical Camp has undergone tremendous changes. Not only has the efficiency of treatment improved, but even the seriously injured patients have not died again.
With such logistical support, Konoha ninjas naturally dared to fight desperately. As long as they didn't die on the spot, they would be fine again after receiving treatment.
After reviewing the intelligence, Ebizo realized its importance and immediately ordered the compilation of all information about Taichi Matsushita. He then took all the information to report to the Fourth Kazekage.
Meanwhile, after reviewing the intelligence compiled by Ebizo, Rasa couldn't help but exclaim, "Konoha truly produces a wealth of talent; now, another figure resembling Tsunade has emerged."
But in the blink of an eye, his expression turned fierce. He saw this as a hero, but also an enemy. Such a person had to be killed before he fully matured.
What are your thoughts, gentlemen?
Ebizo and Chiyo exchanged a glance, both seeing ruthlessness and determination in each other's eyes. "Didn't we plan to raid Konoha's Camp before? We originally only wanted to attack their command post and find an opportunity to kill Jiraiya. Now we can include the Medical Camp in that plan as well."
"Yes!" Chiyo chimed in, "Even if we can't kill Taichi Matsushita, we can cripple their medical system. I don't believe he can treat so many wounded soldiers all by himself!"
"Alright, let's do it that way." The Kazekage hand on the table and made the decision immediately. "Ebizo, refine the plan, and we'll execute it as soon as possible. The Konoha ninjas have been getting increasingly audacious lately."
At this time, Taiichi was unaware that since arriving at the front line, he hadn't even left Camp, spending his days exercising and rescuing people.
Even so, his Daimyo was already on the Kazekage's desk, and Sunagakure had even devised a complete plan to kill him.
If Taiichi knew all this, I don't know whether he should feel honored or lament the fools of Sunagakure and hope they send someone to their deaths soon.
Meanwhile, Taiichi was divided into seven groups, each doing different work. Some were instructing Medical Ninja, some were researching Ninjutsu, and some were practicing swordsmanship. In short, they were never idle for a moment.
His strength has been continuously improved and advanced through this gradual accumulation.
