Chapter 96 Fame on the Battlefield
Following the directions given by the Konoha ninja, Genji Takuno silently walked towards the field medical station.
The rusty, bloody smell in the air grew stronger and stronger.
The clamor of the battlefield was gradually replaced by another hellish sound.
Suppressed groans, piercing screams, urgent commands, and the cold clanging of surgical instruments.
Stepping into the medical clinic felt like instantly entering another battlefield.
It was a bloody battlefield, devoid of gunfire yet still teeming with the stench of death. The cramped space was crammed with wounded soldiers, their bodies mangled and their faces pale.
The bright red blood stained almost every corner of the tent, and the pungent smell was suffocating.
Yuan Tuoye's gaze swept over the tragic scene before him, and the calm on his face was replaced by a solemn expression.
He didn't hesitate at all, nor did he bother with any unnecessary small talk.
He walked straight to a distraught medical ninja and said rapidly, "Could you please give me a set of sterilization equipment and gloves? I'm a medical ninja who came to provide support."
The ninja leading the way watched as Gen Takuno efficiently completed the disinfection, quickly put on blood-stained medical gloves, and then, like a true medical expert, went straight to a ninja whose abdomen was deeply pierced by a kunai and who was struggling to breathe, and took over the treatment.
He was stunned.
My original intention was to take him to see the medical sergeant, but the extremely chaotic scene before me...
Where would he find the time to find someone to introduce him? However, something even more astonishing happened.
Takuno Minamoto's incredibly steady hands demonstrated extraordinary skills that surpassed those of ordinary medical ninjas.
Faced with complex injuries that others could not handle and critically ill patients with exposed internal organs, his highly concentrated chakra transformed into the most precise "needle and thread" and the finest "tweezers".
Every time the blue chakra aura lights up, its hemostatic and wound-repairing effects are visible to the naked eye!
Several seriously injured people, who were deemed extremely difficult to treat by multiple medical ninjas, were miraculously stabilized under his care!
"A master! A true medical expert!" The ninja leading the way was deeply shocked.
The person that Jiraiya brought is definitely not a privileged individual who got in through connections!
In fact, Yuan Tuoye's medical knowledge was not top-notch.
However, his unparalleled control over chakra made up for the huge gap.
For him, the level of precision required to perform tasks that are difficult for ordinary people is as natural as breathing.
Chakra is no longer a crude energy, but a tamed thread that precisely stitches up the cracks in life.
The sky gradually turned a deep gray as the smoke and twilight descended.
After finishing the military intelligence meeting, Jiraiya finally remembered Minamoto no Takuya, whom he had temporarily forgotten.
He quietly walked towards the medical area, which was filled with pain yet brimming with hope for life, and paused in a corner.
All eyes were focused on Gen Takuno.
His movements were swift and steady, and his body emanated a pale blue healing chakra aura.
The seriously wounded were effectively controlled under his care, and those complex injuries that would have deterred even ordinary medical ninjas were resolved one by one by his incredibly steady hands.
Its efficiency was so high that even the busy medical team leader couldn't help but take a few more glances, his eyes filled with admiration.
Witnessing all this, Jiraiya's gaze flickered for a moment. The figure of the young man before him, focused intently on treatment, subtly overlapped with the image of the medical master he remembered—
"Tsunade—" A name silently flashed through my mind, then turned into a silent sigh and self-mockery.
He quickly shook off this daze; it could only be an illusion.
That companion, who was so terrified of blood, could never possibly be in this blood-soaked place.
No one understood Tsunade's deep-seated fear better than him.
Nevertheless, the "Tsunade-level" performance that Minamoto Takuno displayed at this moment still left a deep impression on Jiraiya.
Although he knew that in terms of pure medical ninjutsu, Minamoto no Takuno was still worlds apart from Tsunade, his incredibly precise chakra control and efficient treatment methods were probably only comparable to the experienced squad leader in the entire medical team.
Perhaps—we can let him play a greater role here—" Jiraiya's gaze became deep and firm.
A bold idea took shape in his mind: appoint this young man as the temporary deputy commander of the medical department!
His abilities warrant an important position to save more Konoha bloodlines struggling on the brink of death.
The battlefield is never short of a stage to showcase talent, and the medical center in front of us desperately needs someone with his brilliance.
Several months passed quietly amidst the smoke of battle and the pain of war.
Gen Takuno followed the familiar path, traversing the temporary camp that Konoha had built behind the battle line.
"Hello Jounin Minamoto Takuno!"
"Jonin Minamoto no Takuno, are you getting busy again?"
"source----"
Every few steps, enthusiastic greetings would come like a tide, almost without interruption.
Yuan Tuoye did not stop walking, a gentle yet slightly helpless smile on his lips, nodding frequently in response.
This honor did not stem from the Jonin promotion ceremony that was originally titled "Hero".
The ceremony may be brief and dazzling, but it will eventually be covered by the dust of time.
He is so remembered in the camp today because almost every living ninja has received his kindness.
He personally repaired the faces of those who had once teetered on the brink of death and whose bodies had been torn apart by pain, restoring them to life.
The vast majority of people truly owe him their lives!
This gratitude, expressed at the cost of one's life, is the most simple yet the most profound.
After months of fighting, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure has reached a suffocating stalemate, with both sides like two giant beasts locked in a struggle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Since arriving at the front line, Gen Takuno has never set foot in Konoha Village, having already settled there.
Even when the stalemate first appeared, he naturally took on the heavy responsibility of the medical unit.
He did not deliberately vie for power; it was only after the experienced medical captain witnessed his medical ninjutsu and his tireless, life-burning "efforts" that he had worked day and night that he willingly relinquished his position to him.
Everyone knew perfectly well that if it weren't for Gen Takuno's hands, which seemed to be able to reverse life and death, the list of casualties among Konoha ninjas would have been twice as long as it was terrifying.
Looking around the entire camp, only the high-ranking ninjas in the command center have not yet received his treatment.
Being stationed far behind the lines, strategizing and planning, they naturally rarely risked their lives personally.
Those powerful combat-oriented high-ranking officers who frequently appeared at the forefront of fierce battles almost all received his treatment, and through this opportunity, their relationship with each other quietly grew closer.
Yuan Tuoye walked steadily, a clear premonition emerging in his mind.
After this battle, his popularity and reputation in Konoha will experience a qualitative leap.
While they may not be able to match the brilliance of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, it is not an unrealistic expectation for them to be on par with the legendary Sannin of Konoha.
The reason was simple: he alone saved the lives of the most fundamental and numerous ordinary ninjas in the ninja village.
This collective act of saving lives is etched in the hearts of countless survivors and is the most enduring legacy they can be celebrated for generations to come.
"Heh, this trend—how come I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to the higher echelons of power in Konoha?" Gen Takuno muttered to himself, with a hint of absurdity that even he found strange.
When he first joined the medical department, he only wanted to quietly fulfill his responsibilities and avoid being completely overlooked, which would lower his reputation.
To his surprise, his colleagues' skill in battlefield medical care was far worse than he had anticipated.
In comparison, his healing skills seemed as bright as the moon in the sky, dazzling to the point of being blinding.
Sometimes, he would even think to himself, "Is this how Tsunade-sama personally taught them? The skill gap is just too big."
Naturally, if Tsunade heard this thought, she would probably feel helpless as well.
In the eyes of this medical master, the value of a peerless medical genius ninja is constantly changing.
A battlefield teeming with wounded soldiers is often no match for a group of ordinary medical ninjas who have mastered basic first aid techniques.
Even the most powerful individual can only offer a drop in the ocean when faced with a tsunami of wounded, leaving one helpless and frustrated.
Tsunade's strategic thinking has always been "emphasizing scale over sophistication".
However, Gen Takuno became an anomaly. His unbelievably abundant energy and his chakra control, which even his predecessors admired, turned the impossible into reality and brought about a revolutionary change to the medical system on the front lines of Konoha.
Yuan Tuoye stopped and habitually stretched his somewhat stiff body.
Looking at the bigger picture, Konoha currently holds the strategic advantage, an advantage achieved even though the Fourth Hokage has remained in the central command without personally taking action.
Of course, the Hidden Cloud Village also maintained a strange balance, with their Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee remaining inactive.
The most active tailed beast force on the battlefield is the two-tailed beast Matatabi, which is like a scorching fire. Its rider, Yugito, is one of the sharpest spearheads of the enemy.
Despite Konoha's advantage, Gen Takuno was troubled by another problem.
He desperately wanted to obtain the Two-Tails' chakra, a crucial part of his plan. However, after much deliberation, he realized that in the current situation of open confrontation and the two armies facing off, trying to snatch it from the tiger's mouth was an almost impossible task.
The hidden identity of "collector" must not be used in the slightest at this moment.
He knew perfectly well that the identity of the person who stole the Book of Seals from Konoha was already on Konoha's blacklist of unsolved cases.
If he were to act under this identity, Konoha would have no chance of supporting him; on the contrary, they would do everything in their power to capture him.
At the same time, once he attacks the Two-Tails, he will be completely on the opposite side of the Hidden Cloud Village.
At that time, would they be at odds with both of the two major factions in the ninja world? This would undoubtedly be a suicidal and insane idea.
"As expected, the hope of seizing the Two-Tails' chakra by force on the front lines is slim—" Gen Takuno sighed silently.
However, the light of hope did not die out in his deep eyes.
Information from the depths of his memory surged forth: Yukito, that proud and fierce female ninja, was by no means cold-hearted.
Her deep and sincere concern and protectiveness towards her companions was precisely his greatest opportunity to exploit!
Just then, a commotion that grew louder as it approached from the depths of the camp pulled him back from his reverie.
The familiar yet hurried footsteps, the sound of stretchers scraping the ground, and suppressed groans meant that another batch of seriously wounded soldiers being evacuated from the front lines had arrived!
Yuan Tuoye instantly concealed all the complex emotions on his face, his tired but resolute gaze sweeping over the medical team members beside him who were also ready to go, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Without further hesitation, he led the way, striding quickly toward the medical room area filled with the smell of disinfectant and blood.
