After resting for a night in Amegakure Ninja Village, the Medical Team immediately began its mission. Senju Risa had already organized the information and divided the team into squads, each responsible for treating patients in an assigned area. Every squad leader had previously done medical work in the Land of Rain and had experience handling the situation.
Although Tsunade was an excellent medic, she was still young and had never undertaken a mission in the Land of Rain. Her squad was therefore led by another Medical Ninja, with her serving as a key subordinate. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, and the others were assigned to protect this squad. After all, they knew Tsunade, so working together would spare them the awkwardness of dealing with strangers.
"Listen carefully. Once we reach the residential area, make sure you take all the necessary precautions. We may be ninja with strong constitutions, but we can still catch these diseases," the squad leader said.
"What happens if we really do get sick?" someone asked.
"What else can we do? You'll have to go into isolation like any other patient, and you won't be able to do medical work. Your own health comes first. Don't forget that," the leader repeatedly reminded them.
"We need to take precautions too, right?" Hatake Sakumo asked.
"Yes, of course. You're here to keep us safe, aren't you? You'll be going in with us, so the same applies to you," the leader said.
"Understood." Hatake Sakumo nodded and said nothing more. He knew only the basics of medicine, so on matters like this, he needed to listen to the experts.
A little while later, they reached the residential area assigned to them. The residents already knew that Konoha Ninja would be coming and had been keeping an eye on the streets outside.
