A group of ninja had set up camp in the heart of a dense forest.
They wore clothing bearing the Senju Crest and were members of the Senju Clan.
Most of the elite fighters had gone to the front lines for this campaign. Those who remained here were support personnel.
At that moment, a steady stream of wounded was being carried into one of the tents in the camp.
Before long, the wounded were brought back out one by one, all their injuries already treated.
At the sight, one Senju clansman could not help marveling. "That young woman's Medical Ninjutsu is truly impressive. Thank goodness she came along this time, or our casualties would have been terrible."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu has been an enormous help! Who would have thought a frail woman like her could possess such powerful Medical Ninjutsu?" another added.
Just then, a young ninja approached the tent hesitantly and waited outside, holding a bouquet he had picked somewhere in the forest.
"Look, another one's going to confess to Lady Tsunade. That makes eighteen now, doesn't it?" one of the onlookers remarked.
"Heh, if I weren't so old, I'd be just like that lad, boldly courting Lady Tsunade!" an old man said with a chuckle.
"Hey, you lot! We're on a mission. Even if you're resting in camp, you should still be on guard and making preparations! What are you standing around gossiping for?" a cold voice rang out.
A young man with silver hair and red eyes strode over and scolded them. He wore an iron forehead protector shaped like a face guard, with the Senju Clan's crest engraved in its center.
"Ah! It's Lord Tobirama!"
"Lord Tobirama is back from battle! How are things out there?" The clansmen all turned toward the young man.
