Harsh Conditions at the Frontline

"Danzo was injured?"

Yuu was quite surprised to hear that. If Tsunade had to go personally, the injury had to be severe enough that ordinary medical ninjas could not heal it.

Although Tsunade hated Danzo, she still needed to go to the Hokage's office to treat his wounds. She said to Uchiha Yuu beside her:

"Do you want to come with me? Danzo once suggested that you join the ANBU for training. If you have never even met him, it'll be easy for you to suffer a disadvantage."

"I'll pass."

Yuu declined Tsunade's offer. He had no interest in treating Danzo. In terms of medical ninjutsu alone, he was not as capable as Tsunade, so he would not be much help even if he went.

Besides, Uchiha Yuu wished for Danzo's death.
