After meeting with Hiruzen Sarutobi and explaining the situation to the other senior ninja, Kazemori Masaki quietly left the Medical Camp without attracting much attention and headed for the medical outpost. Already situated in the rear, the outpost had encountered no major trouble during the enemy counterattack. Everyone had safely withdrawn to the designated location, closer to Konoha Ninja Village, where they could receive more reliable support.
Kazemori Masaki had come to see Tsunade, the medical outpost's chief administrator. As the scale of the war grew, this rising star of the Medical Department would inevitably enter the battlefield.

The village also wanted her to experience the battlefield first, so that she would need less time to adjust when transferred elsewhere later.
