Chapter 76 Before the War

"Dousuke, are you there?" As soon as I returned to the camp through spiritual communication, I heard the voice of Yamamatsu Dahe coming from outside the tent.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Uncle Yamamatsu?" Okamoto Dousuke lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

The short and fat Yamamatsu Taiga stood in front of his tent. He looked relieved when he saw Okamoto Dousuke coming out. "Just now, Lord Shikaku sent someone to inform us that a meeting will be held at 3 pm."

In fact, this was the fourth time that Yamamatsu Taikawa came to look for Dousuke. The previous times he came, there was no response from Okamoto Dousuke's tent.

At that time, Okamoto Dousuke was in the Wet Bone Forest and definitely couldn't reply.

Nara Shikaku sent someone to deliver the notice in the morning. The meeting time was approaching. If Okamoto Dousuke didn't come back, Yamamatsu Taikawa would have to let Ayase Asami attend.

Okamoto Dousuke nodded to show that he understood.

This incident also served as a reminder to Okamoto Dousuke. Because of the help of the Slug Sage in mixing the medicine, the Wet Bone Forest is now used as a production base for therapeutic drugs.

From now on, Okamoto Dousuke will have to go to the Wet Bone Forest frequently to retrieve the finished healing potion. Next time, I need to leave a slug in the tent that can notify me.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Yamamatsu to take care of the work here!" After saying that, Okamoto Dousuke picked up a uniform from the tent and put it on, then walked towards Konoha's command tent.

"Doujie-kun!"

"Master Dosuke!"

"Okamoto Dousuke!!"

Along the way, ninjas rushed towards the command tent one after another, and people kept greeting Okamoto Dousuke.

It was just like when Okamoto Dousuke walked out of the hall of Konoha Hospital, the difference was that the people in the hall were all civilians of the village.

Now, those who greeted him were all ninjas who were qualified to attend the meeting, and they were basically the captains of the Jonin.

He greeted everyone with a smile on his face. It turned out that without anyone noticing, he, Okamoto Dousuke, was no longer the invisible man.

Entering the tent, I found that the tent, which was not small at ordinary times, was now full of people.

Orochimaru sat in front of the sand table in the center of the tent.

The sand table was surrounded by ministers and deputy ministers of the Operations Department, the United Front Department and other departments.

Okamoto Dousuke sat down directly on the seat on the left side of the medical department.

Although the tent was packed with people, no one spoke. Ninja is a strictly disciplined profession, not to mention that they are now at war.

The several ministers who were sitting there all looked at Orochimaru.

"Everyone, we can't delay any longer. In two days, I will have a decisive battle with Sunagakure." Orochimaru saw everyone's eyes on him, his voice was hoarse, but the words he said shocked everyone.

The war between Sunagakure and Konoha has been going on for more than a month, which has been extremely costly for both villages.

Moreover, according to the news brought by the Third Hokage, Orochimaru knew that the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth were no longer stable, and the two major villages of Kumogakure and Tsuchigakure were also ready to move.

Sand Village has secretly sent people to contact Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Although Konoha is the strongest among the five major nations, it cannot withstand fighting on three fronts.

Therefore, the war with Sand Village must be ended as soon as possible to free up energy to face Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Orochimaru and Nara Shikaku then made arrangements for the next battle.

After the deployment was almost complete, Orochimaru turned his gaze to Okamoto Dousuke: "Dousuke-kun, I hope that some of your medical department can follow us to the front line in this decisive battle."

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru." Okamoto Dousuke agreed readily.

Without waiting for Orochimaru to say anything else, Okamoto Dousuke spoke again: "Lord Orochimaru, the research on mass production of the healing drug has been successful."

"What? Are you sure?" When Orochimaru heard what Okamoto Dousuke said, his golden snake pupils suddenly shrank.

"I am sure, Lord Orochimaru, that the first batch of healing potions are now being actively produced under the leadership of Teacher Tsunade."

"Hahaha, this is the best news I've heard recently. How is the current production?" Orochimaru's icy face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, showed a rare smile.

"We can produce about one thousand each day. If it's expedited, we're not sure!" Okamoto Dousuke thought for a moment and gave a rough estimate.

After hearing Okamoto Dousuke's answer, Orochimaru fell into deep thought and dismissed the meeting first.

After everyone left, Orochimaru called out to Okamoto Dousuke.

"Dousuke, can you make enough healing medicine in two days?" Orochimaru stared at Okamoto Dousuke and asked.

"It's a bit difficult!" Without giving his full effort to make it, Dousuke Okamoto couldn't give a specific number.

"I understand. You should make the best preparations first. I will discuss the rest and let you know." Then the staff team led by Orochimaru and Nara Shikaku began the discussion.

Okamoto Dousuke nodded, turned and walked out of the tent.

After returning to the medical department's camp, Okamoto Dousuke first summoned Charan, wrote a letter, gave it to her, and asked her to pass it to Tsunade.

"Lord Dousuke, I can actually repeat it in its original voice!" Looking at Okamoto Dousuke who was writing a letter, Charan's childish voice sounded, reminding in a baby voice.

"I know, I know. Charan is the best. However, it would be better to write a letter to tell the teacher about this." Okamoto Dousuke smiled and gently poked Charan's jaw with the end of the pen.

"Lord Dousuke, I'm not a child anymore!!" Charan twisted his body to avoid Okamoto Dousuke's pen and protested loudly.

Charan is said to be a teenage slug, older than Chi Ling, but she has not grown in size and her voice is still that of a toddler.

So Okamoto Dousuke and Tsunade always inadvertently treat her like a baby slug.

Charan straightened up, still protesting against Okamoto Dousuke's previous actions.

Suddenly a letter was stuffed into Charan's mouth, blocking her from saying anything else.

"I'm sorry, Charan. I'm sorry. I hope you won't be angry. I'll prepare something delicious for you next time!" Okamoto Dousuke put his hands together and bowed to Charan, his small eyes narrowed into a half-moon shape.

I gently touched Charan's back with my hand, and the feeling of comfort made the little guy make meow, meow sounds.

"Lord Doujie is so gentle!" Charan's whole slug became happy.

Charan nodded vigorously, then bit the letter tightly, and with a bang, it turned into smoke and disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing Charan, Okamoto Dousuke's expression gradually became serious.

The war is about to begin, and the medical department also needs to be deployed, at least a part of it needs to go to the battlefield.

Going to the front line is an extremely dangerous act for medical ninjas who usually work in the logistics field.

First of all, the self-preservation ability of medical ninjas is poor. Medical ninjas use medical ninjutsu most of the time. They rarely use offensive ninjutsu, and even the Three Body Techniques are rarely used.

Moreover, the consumption of chakra on the battlefield reduces the chance of survival, but the role of medical ninjas on the front battlefield is to heal the wounded, especially the injured elite ninjas like the Jonin.

Saving people requires consuming chakra to perform medical ninjutsu, and during treatment, medical ninjas also need to perform precise operations to better treat wounds.

This will cause the medical ninja to consume a large amount of chakra and energy. Wasting a large amount of chakra and energy on the battlefield is undoubtedly sending oneself to death.

The death rate of medical ninjas on the battlefield has always been alarmingly high.

On the battlefield, both sides will prioritize killing the medical ninja, and in team fights, kill the healer first. This is applicable in any world.

Even if we don't go to the battlefield, the logistics are unsafe. If a full-scale war breaks out, the enemy will definitely send attackers to attack the camp.

Compared with companions on the battlefield, the crisis is slightly smaller.

Okamoto Dousuke walked out of his tent and looked at the medical staff trotting past him, including nurses in nurse uniforms and medical ninjas in medical technician uniforms.

Sigh, Okamoto Dousuke walked into the largest medical tent with a sigh.

There were injured ninjas lying on the beds in the tent, wailing constantly.

The medical technicians and nurses who were checking on the wounded or doing other work saw Okamoto Dousuke come in and greeted him.

"Master Dosuke!"

"Doujie!"

Okamoto Dousuke nodded to them and looked at Yamamatsu Taiga who was using healing techniques to treat a wounded person.

Under the green light of the healing technique, the patient's wounds gradually healed and the humming sounds from his mouth gradually subsided.

"Okay! The wound has healed and you can be transferred to the ward for mild patients." Shansong Dahe wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the alcohol cotton next to him, and wiped his palms.
