Chapter 61 Battlefield

Although it was his first time on the battlefield, Dousuke Okamoto did not feel that nervous.

He was Tsunade's apprentice and came to the frontline as a medical ninja. As long as Konoha's ninjas were not surrounded by the Sand Village, the medical ninjas would not be in too much danger.

The danger to medical ninjas mainly comes from the time when there is a ninja war, and some highly skilled ninjas need to go to the front lines to treat injured ninjas, especially injured jonins.

Medical ninjas on the front line need to have pure palm magic to quickly heal injured ninjas to retain maximum combat effectiveness.

Another danger is that when two armies are fighting, the medical and logistics departments are always the main targets of attack by the other side's assault forces.

The logistics supply of the army has always been a top priority, and while medical ninjas restore combat power for their own side, they will also become important targets of sabotage for the enemy.

Moreover, the puppet troops of Sunagakure are particularly good at using poison.

In order to pursue the ultimate lethality, the weapons of the Sand Village puppet troops are generally poisoned.

This requires the medical department to have a person with superb medical skills to treat everyone at critical moments.

This is also the greatest significance of Okamoto Dousuke's existence.

Nothing happened on the first day of the ninja army's camping. All Okamoto Dousuke could see were scouts constantly going in and out of the largest tent of Orochimaru and his men.

Okamoto Dousuke stood at the entrance of the medical department's tent and watched the ninjas coming and going. This is war.

While Okamoto Dousuke was in a daze, Yamamatsu Taiga walked up to him and asked, "How are you, Dousuke? Are you still getting used to it?"

The person who was talking to Okamoto Dousuke was Yamamatsu Taiga, a medical senior ninja who was also the deputy director of the medical department.

"Vice Minister Yamamatsu, I am just lamenting the cruelty of war."

"Doubjie, don't be so polite. Do we still have to be like this in our relationship?"

"No matter that you are Lady Tsunade's disciple, Ayase and I have watched you grow together. If it weren't for the village's arrangement, Ayase and I would definitely support you in taking charge of the medical department." Yamamatsu Taikawa said politely.

Yamamatsu Taiga and Ayase Asami are the other two vice-directors of the medical department.

At the same time, they are both colleagues of Okamoto Dousuke in Konoha Hospital, so there is no problem at all for them to recommend Tsunade.

When Okamoto Dousuke was five years old, he followed Tsunade to Konoha Hospital to study. Because of his age, other doctors in the hospital took care of him for a longer time.

Later, Okamoto Dousuke continued to learn medical ninjutsu from other doctors in Konoha Hospital until he surpassed them in all aspects.

Okamoto Dousuke had already proven himself when he was in Konoha Hospital.

The vast majority of the medical ninjas who came to the Wind Country this time were medical ninjas from Konoha Hospital, and this was also the result of Tsunade's special selection.

That's right, Tsunade personally arranged the ninjas for the medical department. In this war in the Kingdom of Wind, Tsunade sent almost half of the medical ninjas in Konoha Hospital.

She also took great pains for Okamoto Dousuke.

"Uncle Yamamatsu, don't say that. I am still lacking in terms of war and need your Aunt Ayase's help." Okamoto Dousuke said modestly.

"Don't worry, Dousuke. Let's go and see how your aunt Ayase's camp is set up."

After they decided on a place to set up camp, Asami Ayase was in charge of setting up the camp.

The two of them walked and talked until they arrived at the door of the medical department.

"Ayase!"

"Auntie Ayase!"

Looking at Asami Ayase, who was wearing a white medical ninja uniform, she was still directing people to place items.

Okamoto Dousuke and Yamamatsu Taiga greeted her.

He turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

"You two are here. Dousuke, you chose a good position." The first time she saw Dousuke Okamoto, Asami Ayase couldn't stop praising him.

Looking at the medical department which has been basically established.

Dousuke Okamoto kept praising Asami Ayase.

Just as a few people were praising each other, Nara Shikaku came over.

"Yamamatsu Taiga, Ayase Asami, and Okamoto Dousuke, all of you come to the central tent." Nara Shikaku said to them.

“Yes” x3.

The three followed Nara Shikaku and walked towards the command tent in the middle.

Along the way, Okamoto Dousuke saw the ninjas forming small teams, and the Aburame clan were constantly setting up defenses against parasitic insects.

The Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan have been patrolling the camp because of their eye techniques.

Among them, the Hyuga clan is the easiest to identify, with their conspicuous white pupils revealing their identity all the time.

The Uchiha clan was also constantly patrolling to check for any spies from the Sand Village.

The various ninja clans of Konoha can be seen everywhere, including the Inuzuka clan comforting their beloved dogs.

Everyone is equal in war.

The vast majority of the people sent by Konoha this time were the elites of various ninja clans. Regarding the war with Sand Village, the Third Generation and the Konoha high-level officials agreed that a quick victory should be achieved.

After all, while the war between River Country and Sunagakure is going on, they also have to be on guard against the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Earth Village at all times.

According to the information sent back by Jiraiya, Tsuchiya was constantly making small moves in the surrounding countries.

Whether it was the last attempt to snatch the Seven-Tails, or other actions against Konoha, all of them showed that Tsuchiya was restless.

If Tsuchigakure really meets its doom, Kumogakure, as one of the five great nations, will definitely not keep quiet given the character of the Third Raikage.

If the situation really develops to the worst, Konoha may need to fight against members of three major countries at the same time.

This is something Konoha doesn't want to see.

Therefore, in the war against Sunagakure, we strive to win a quick victory.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.

When they arrived at the entrance of the central tent, several Hyuga clan ninjas stood around the entrance, constantly monitoring the surroundings with their Byakugan.

And around the Hyuga clan ninjas there were also Uchiha clan ninjas, who were constantly using their Sharingan to observe every ninja who tried to approach the big tent.

"The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan really have a huge advantage in war." Okamoto Dousuke muttered to himself.

Although he didn't have a very good impression of the other Hyuga clan members except Hyuga Ritsu, it was undeniable that the Hyuga clan played a role in the war.

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is also very effective in rebounding illusions and breaking transformation techniques.

Entering the central tent, there is a huge sand table in the center of the tent, on which the positions of the Konoha Ninja Army and the Sand Village Ninja Army are marked in detail.

Orochimaru leaned his hands on the edge of the sand table, staring at the sand table map intently. Standing around the sand table were the decision-making department and the captains of the ninja army.

"Lord Orochimaru, we're here."

Nara Shikaku brought Okamoto Dousuke and the others into the tent and spoke to Orochimaru.

Hearing the voice, Orochimaru raised his head, and stared at Okamoto Dousuke and the others who had just walked in with his golden snake-like vertical pupils.
