Chapter 80 Emergency Support
Konoha Village, Hokage Room.
Before the major battle on the northwestern border officially broke out, Jiraiya had already sent information back to Konoha through the communication frog.
Upon receiving the message, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned grave—just as he had expected, that old man Onoki hadn't let this opportunity slip by.
"Red Rock Canyon..." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag of his cigarette, his brows furrowed.
They occupied a key trade route in the northwest, undermined Konoha's influence, and forced Kusagakure to choose sides.
If it cannot be reclaimed for a long time, it may even attract other ninja villages to take advantage of the situation and plunder the Land of Fire.
In a short moment, he had seen through Onoki's plan.
Without hesitation, he immediately decided to send reinforcements to the northwestern border.
"Yuan, notify Xiaochun to move to another dorm."
"Yes, Third Generation."
Wearing an ape-face mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared, accepted the order, and quickly left.
As the orders were relayed, the Konoha support forces quickly assembled.
Inside Konoha Hospital, an ANBU member quietly arrives to deliver an urgent order—to organize a medical team to support the front lines.
Sarutobi Biwako immediately summoned medical jonin and chunin, and finally selected seven people to carry out this mission.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, Hushan, and Sheci are also on the list.
Medical ninjas are already scarce, and drawing seven elites at this time is already the limit.
If the fighting on the northwestern border continues, additional troops will be deployed as needed.
Tsunade frowned as she listened to Biwako's arrangements, her lips unconsciously tightening.
Upon hearing that Xingyuan Qianshuo had been sent to the front lines, her heart tightened, and a familiar chill crept up her fingertips once again.
The mission was urgent, and the group quickly organized their equipment and medical supplies.
Tsunade's expression was grave, and she remained silent.
While helping Xingyuan Qianshuo tidy up, she repeatedly checked for anything missing, her movements meticulous to the point of being almost obsessive.
Seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo gently pulled her into his arms, his tone light and relaxed:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Tsunade leaned against his strong chest, fighting back tears, her fingertips silently gripping his back.
"Don't push yourself," she whispered.
She is no longer the "Sannin" who risked everything for the sake of becoming Hokage.
She longed for peace and tranquility.
Having lost two important people in succession during World War II, she simply could not bear to lose them again.
Just imagining that possibility makes my chest feel a dull pain.
Seeing Tsunade's expression as she tried to suppress her grief, Hoshino Senju felt a pang of pain in his heart and couldn't help but hug her even tighter.
He suppressed the urge to reveal his true strength to Tsunade.
It's not the right time yet—it's hard to explain, and he's far from invincible.
If the speculation is correct, Iwagakure is very likely to deploy the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki on the northwestern border this time.
Even with medical ninjas stationed at the rear camp, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.
However, he has plenty of cards up his sleeve.
The inventory also contains various life-saving items.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's calmness helped Tsunade calm down a little.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging emotions.
The mission must be carried out; sadness and worry are of no use.
At this moment, Tsunade truly hated her own "vulnerability".
If she didn't have hemophobia, she could have accompanied Qian Shuo to the front lines, instead of watching him leave with trepidation, as she does now.
Xingyuan Qianshuo put on a green vest and stuffed his backpack with emergency medical supplies.
More supplies had already been stored in a small storage scroll that he carried with him.
Before Tsunade could react, he gently kissed her forehead—avoiding the "kiss of death" she might give him.
Tsunade paused, looked up at him, and finally gave a very faint, worried smile.
"I must come back," she murmured to herself.
-
Xingyuan Qianshuo joined up with the other six medical ninjas and headed to the gates of Konoha to assemble.
Besides the familiar Hebi and Mutual Goodness, the other four are Miyako Shin, Yama Ran, Nohara Kiyoshi, and Doi Koji.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, Hushan, and Gong Guixin are medical jonin, while the other four are medical chunin.
Gong Guixin is a male medical ninja in his thirties. He is usually taciturn and focused, and he is serving as the temporary leader of the medical team this time.
Shanlan is in her twenties and is a gossipy Chunin—she often spreads rumors about her relationship with Tsunade.
The other two male chunin were in their mid-twenties and were just ordinary colleagues.
At the gates of Konoha, sixty or seventy ninjas had gathered, most of them wearing green vests.
The crowd was bustling with people registering to form teams.
If you have familiar teammates, you can form your own team; otherwise, you will be assigned a team on the spot.
Once ten squads—that is, forty people—are registered, a Jonin will lead them on their journey.
The exact number of reinforcements is probably only known to the Konoha leadership and the on-site commander.
Gong Guixin led the medical team to report to the on-site commander.
Xingyuan Qianshuo secretly used the system to investigate the other party:
Name: Sarutobi Taisho
[Condition: Healthy]
With a name similar to Nobita Sarutobi and a similar age, they must be either brothers or cousins, no wonder they look familiar.
Sarutobi Taisho was well aware of the scale of this battle and the inevitable casualties, making this medical team crucial.
He asked the others to wait a moment, and soon found a reliable Jonin.
The opponent wore a ninja hat, a black tight-fitting combat suit, and a green chainmail overlay, with a long samurai sword on his back.
What is most striking are his bright red eyes, his gaze calm yet resolute.
It was Yuhi Makoto, whom I had met briefly during a free clinic event—unfortunately, she was healthy at the time, and Hoshigen Chisaku was unable to receive the treatment reward.
Yuhi Shinku was originally an instructor for chunin and genin, and was not on the first batch of border patrol lists, but she has now joined the support force.
"This is Jonin Yuhi Shinku, he will lead you to the camp," Sarutobi Taisho introduced.
"Greetings, Lord Shinko." The group greeted him respectfully.
Yuhi Makoto nodded in response, then looked at Miyako Keishin and said:
"Letter, we meet again."
"Senior Shinku," Miyako Shin replied simply.
Yuhi Makoto is thirty-eight years old, five years older than Miyako Keishin, and the two had crossed paths many times before.
His gaze shifted to Xingyuan Qianshuo in the medical team, and he nodded slightly in greeting.
"The mission is urgent, so I won't say any more. Follow me," he said in a deep voice.
The seven people completed the registration with Yuhi Shinku and waited a short while before quickly forming ten teams.
The medical team is a non-combat unit and its members are counted separately, so Kurenai Yuhi's team consists of a total of forty-eight people.
He divided the team into two groups of twenty people each, keeping the medical team in the middle.
After briefly explaining the mission's content and urgency, and emphasizing discipline, he led the team to set off.
The team marched swiftly, heading straight for the northwestern border.
There is a protrusion in the northwest of the Land of Fire, while Konoha Village is located in the southwest of the country's center.
Therefore, the northwestern border is the farthest border from Konoha, about 1,400 kilometers away.
Even if the logistics camps are located behind the front lines, they are estimated to be more than a thousand kilometers away.
We left Konoha at 11 a.m. and traveled at a rapid pace with almost no rest. We arrived at the logistics camp at 8:30 p.m.
Along the way, two female Chunin, Snake Ci and Mountain Ran, were exhausted and almost slowed down the group.
To avoid embarrassing the medical team, Xingyuan Qianshuo replenished their chakra multiple times.
Even so, when they arrived at the logistics camp, the team members were exhausted and unable to carry out medical work immediately.
Konoha's logistics camp was situated on a relatively flat, gentle slope, with its perimeter simply reinforced by temporary earthen walls and wooden fences.
The camp didn't appear to be heavily guarded, but there should be warning traps and patrols around it, and a perception barrier should be set up inside.
After being checked and registered by the guards at the entrance, the group entered the camp.
The tents are scattered about, mostly dark green, and blend almost into the mountains and forests in the night.
The camp has a command tent in the center, surrounded by supply storage areas, cooking areas, and wounded soldiers' quarters.
Campfires burned in several open spaces, illuminating the weary and hurried figures of the ninjas coming and going.
Kurenai Yuhi escorted the medical team directly to the wounded camp, then took her leave to report to Jiraiya.
[Host detected participating in war medical operations for the first time, with a large number of wounded. Side quest generated: "Treat the wounded Konoha ninja." Accept?]
"Huh? There's a side quest? Won't that affect the individual rewards for each wounded soldier?"
After a moment's thought, Xingyuan Qianshuo still chose to accept it.
He looked at the six people who were resting and spoke first:
"Senior, the injury is urgent, and I still have plenty of chakra. Let me take charge of the treatment."
Gong Guixin glanced at Xingyuan Qianshuo, whose face remained unchanged, then looked at the others who were limp and powerless, and nodded solemnly:
"Alright, we'll assist you. The sooner you receive treatment, the fewer casualties there will be."
The other five couldn't help but admire Xingyuan Qianshuo's physical strength.
Shanlan glanced at him furtively, muttering to herself: No wonder Lady Tsunade took a liking to him...
The group mustered their spirits and entered the wounded soldiers' tent.
As soon as the tent flap was lifted, a strong smell hit the face: blood, herbs, sweat and dust mixed together to form a special smell of the battlefield.
The tent was quite spacious, but it felt crowded at the moment.
Simple bedding covered most of the ground, and the wounded lay or leaned against something, their low groans and suppressed gasps audible intermittently.
Several oil lamps hung in the center of the tent, casting a dim and unstable light that flickered on the wounded soldiers' pained faces.
Inside the tent, two patrolling ninjas saw them enter and hurriedly went to greet them.
Without much small talk, the two sides quickly introduced themselves and then inquired about the injuries at the camp.
This tent has thirty wounded soldiers. There are three similar tents in total, with a total of eighty-three wounded soldiers.
The battle in Red Rock Canyon did not last long during the day.
After Jiraiya's squad returned to the battlefield, they immediately covered the withdrawal of the Konoha troops.
He summoned the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, to briefly restrain the two Iwagakure Jinchuriki.
Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly kill the elite Iwagakure soldiers, forcing them to abandon the pursuit, and finally led his team to withdraw from the Red Rock area.
In this battle, Konoha suffered approximately 120 dead and nearly 100 wounded, among whom those with minor injuries were allowed to continue their missions after receiving emergency treatment.
Of the more than 500 Konoha ninja defending Red Rock Canyon, nearly half were killed or wounded, many of whom were caught in the blast wave of the Tailed Beast Ball.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this, but as medical ninjas, they had to remain calm and composed.
Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment, then formed a hand seal—
"Bang!"
Three shadow clones appeared simultaneously.
He didn't explain further, but nodded to the group: "My shadow clone and I will be in charge of the treatment. We'll need your assistance."
Then he turned to the two camp ninjas:
"You two are familiar with the wounded, please guide us to treat the seriously injured first."
"Okay, okay!" the two replied quickly.
They were all combat ninjas who only knew basic medical ninjutsu, so they naturally cooperated fully at this moment.
Xingyuan Qianshuo and his three shadow clones did not hesitate and immediately began to treat him.
He walked toward the nearest wounded man, the light of the oil lamp shining precisely on his pale face.
The bandage wrapped around the injured man's abdomen was mostly soaked with blood, and his breathing was weak and rapid.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stirred his thoughts slightly and activated the system to investigate:
Name: Xiang Lie
[Condition: Abdominal puncture, spleen damage]
Gong Guixin, who was standing to the side, took out surgical scissors, skillfully cut open the wounded soldier's bandages, and carefully cleaned the wound.
Seeing that he had finished cleaning, Xingyuan Qianshuo formed a hand seal, and a soft and pure green light emanated from his left hand—it was the perfect-level Palm Immortal Technique.
The green chakra light shone brightly in the dim tent, like the color of life itself.
Chakra precisely covers the wound, and damaged tissue repairs at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, with his other hand, fingers joined together like a knife, a chakra scalpel rang out, precisely removing a small amount of necrotic tissue, his movements as smooth as flowing water.
"That's amazing..."
Gong Guixin, who was assisting from the side, was stunned.
He considered himself to be quite skilled in palm techniques and chakra scalpels, but he was ashamed of his own inferiority in such effortless mastery and the ability to perform two techniques simultaneously with both hands.
The other medical ninjas, who were already exhausted, were also momentarily stunned by the abilities displayed by Hoshino Senju.
Hu Shan watched as a shadow clone treated the wounded soldier with broken ribs and a punctured lung—the chakra skillfully reset the bones, and the Palm Healing Technique followed up with repairs, the efficiency of which was astonishing.
"The bones have been perfectly realigned, and the internal bleeding has stopped... Has Senior Qian Shuo's Palm Healing Technique reached such a level?"
Snake Ci's small mouth opened slightly as she murmured, "Could it really be a lack of talent?"
As Shanlan tended to the blood-stained bandages, she glanced at Xingyuan Qianshuo's calm profile, her heart pounding: "This amount of chakra, this technique... just how much strength does Qianshuo-kun still have hidden?"
The rescue and treatment efforts continue intensively.
The wounded suffered a variety of injuries: some had deep cuts from sharp blades that exposed bone, others had fractures shattered by boulders, and still others had internal bleeding caused by shockwave damage to internal organs...
These injuries, which would be extremely difficult for ordinary medical ninjas to treat, were resolved one by one with the perfect combination of Xingyuan Qianshuo's palm technique and scalpel.
The atmosphere inside the tent gradually became more relaxed as the treatment progressed.
Occasionally, wounded soldiers would let out suppressed groans of pain or sighs of relief during treatment.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Xingyuan Qianshuo and his shadow clones cast busy silhouettes on the tent, while the green light of the palm magic rose and fell, becoming the most eye-catching focus in the dim space.
However, even a perfect-level medical ninjutsu still consumes a huge amount of chakra.
Xingyuan Qianshuo remained expressionless, occasionally taking out soldier pills from his ninja tool pouch to replenish his chakra.
Occasionally, a shadow clone would disappear with a "poof" due to exhaustion of chakra. He would immediately form hand seals and create a new shadow clone to take its place, ensuring that the treatment continued uninterrupted.
After treating the seriously wounded in one tent, they were immediately moved to the next.
Two hours later, they had entered the third tent.
At that moment, the curtain was lifted, and a tall figure walked in.
With his flamboyant white hair and gray armor, it was none other than Jiraiya.
His expression was grave, and his gaze was quickly drawn to the scene of rescue and treatment inside the tent.
Xingyuan Qianshuo and his three shadow clones each cast their spells, the Palm Immortal Technique flashing with green light, and the condition of the seriously injured person quickly stabilized.
"This kid..." Jiraiya's eyes flashed with surprise.
He witnessed Hoshino Senjutsu's medical ninjutsu for the first time and was surprised to find it to be so exquisite, no less than Tsunade's back then.
"The amount of chakra is so abundant?" While marveling at this, he also realized how enormous the chakra consumption was for this operation.
"He's really something else," Jiraiya thought to himself.
He didn't say anything to disturb them, but just watched quietly for a while.
Seeing Xingyuan Qianshuo swallow a soldier's ration pill, he whispered a few instructions to his deputy beside him.
At this moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo noticed Jiraiya, nodded almost imperceptibly, and continued to treat him.
Jiraiya waved knowingly and quietly left the tent.
After nearly three hours of continuous, high-intensity treatment, the condition of more than 30 seriously injured patients has basically stabilized, and the remaining patients with minor injuries can receive treatment later.
Xingyuan Qianshuo released his three shadow clones, but the added fatigue caused him to sway slightly and turn pale.
He took a deep breath and steadied himself.
At this moment, the logistics ninja delivered the food—a large bucket of curry potato and beef brisket, served with white rice, the aroma of which filled the air.
Everyone was already starving, and they all stepped forward to receive their share.
Xingyuan Qianshuo also received a copy, but unlike the others, he did not sit down and eat slowly.
He walked to the food bucket and, to everyone's astonishment, began to eat at an alarming speed.
One bite, two bites... and the plate of curry rice was gone in the blink of an eye.
He didn't stop; he continued to serve himself rice and continued to eat.
My stomach felt like a bottomless pit, and the food disappeared rapidly.
This is precisely the effect of the primary talent "Life Return"—accelerating digestion and absorption, rapidly converting food energy into chakra and stamina.
One plate, two plates, five plates, ten plates...
"How much did he...eat?" Shanlan asked, her voice trembling.
Hu Shan stared blankly: "The...the fifteenth round, right...?"
Xingyuan Qianshuo finally stopped and let out a soft breath—enough for a full twenty people.
The medical tent was completely silent. All his comrades and wounded who witnessed this scene stared at him as if he were a monster.
Xingyuan Qianshuo wiped his mouth, feeling his chakra replenish itself, and his fatigue vanished.
He looked at the stunned Gong Guixin and the others, his tone calm:
"We're full, we can continue. There are other wounded."
Gong Guixin opened his mouth, but in the end only let out a sigh: "...Okay."
It was already late at night, and everyone was exhausted and sleepy, but they still insisted on treating twenty seriously injured people.
The remaining injured will receive treatment tomorrow, and those with serious injuries will need to undergo further examinations tomorrow.
Afterwards, they went to sleep in the prepared rest tents.
Perhaps because the treatment is not yet fully completed, the side quest has not been settled.
But each wounded soldier who was treated tonight received a separate system reward.
A total of 54 people were treated, 34 of whom were seriously injured.
Fortunately, most of the wounded were external injuries, which were well-suited for treatment with palm techniques and scalpels; otherwise, it would have been difficult to complete the task so efficiently.
The number of people treated tonight has already equaled the number treated in three days of the free clinic.
After recovering thanks to the "life return", his physical strength is still acceptable, but his mind has been highly focused for a long time, and now that he has relaxed, he feels extremely tired.
Seeing the lines of system reward notifications, he decided to withdraw them immediately.
Most of these wounded were ordinary ninjas, a few were from ninja clans, and none were famous characters from the original work.
The rewards received are mostly for improving the proficiency of existing skills, averaging about 400 points, which is much higher than the usual treatment.
There are also five additional ninjutsu rewards, all at the proficiency level:
Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique, Secret Technique: Mind Reading Technique.
The secret technique, Mind Reading, was obtained from a Jonin named Yamanaka Satoshi, who was likely a member of the Yamanaka clan.
Finally, there is a chakra reward, totaling 3780 points.
He noticed that eight ninjas provided about ten times the amount of chakra as the others, accounting for the majority of the total reward.
Xingyuan Qianshuo speculated that they might have been affected by the Tailed Beast Ball—the system's chakra reward for injuries related to Tailed Beasts is more generous.
After collecting all the rewards, he was satisfied and drifted off to sleep.
