Chapter 100 Concealing and Covering Up! Konoha Suffers Heavy Losses!
Chapter 100 Concealing and Covering Up! Konoha Suffers Heavy Losses!
Konoha's temporary camp.
Mitokado Yan breathed a sigh of relief and gradually calmed down.
With the director and vice-director of Konoha Hospital joining the battle in the Land of Rain, why fear the poison from Amegakure!
He suddenly thought of something, and his tone softened.
"Tsunade, Uchiha Yuuki, thank you for your help with the logistics and cleanup. Please take a rest!"
In a split second, Mitomon Yanzhi gave an order to Nara Shikatari.
"Shikazuki, summon all combat Jonin from the camp for an emergency Jonin meeting to prepare for an attack from Amegakure!"
What to do if you lose a battle?
Attitude! Action!
and most importantly -
Meeting!
An emergency Jonin meeting!
They're shifting all the blame!
Actions are meetings, and meetings are attitudes!
Looking at Mitokado Homura, who seemed to have regained her senses, Nara Shikatake didn't bother to give her another glance. "Vice Commander Tsunade?"
"You decide for yourselves, Yuuki. Come with me to the medical ward!" Tsunade turned and left.
At this moment, Tsunade had no intention of vying for control of the camp.
She was unsure whether her experience in commanding large-scale operations was superior to that of Mitokado Haru.
It remains uncertain how much this elder has wrecked the camp.
Blindly seeking a higher position is tantamount to deliberately triggering a firestorm and seeking thrills for oneself.
"Understood, Lady Tsunade." Yuuki followed closely behind and walked out, sensing that something was amiss in the camp.
It wasn't because we received any intelligence that the Unicorn Beetles had been deployed in this area.
The main point is that the enemy on the battlefield in the Land of Rain is Hanzo the Salamander!
Old poison!
Without a strong force to restrain them, how could the losses be so small?
He doesn't believe it!
"Yes!" Nara Shikatake replied respectfully, and they went out together.
Seeing that no one cared about his commands, Mitokado Homura's face turned ashen, then paled slightly.
...
About an hour later, Tsunade and Yuuki stood at the entrance of the medical team's camp.
Nara Shikama was standing next to him.
He glanced around the dilapidated medical camp, then explained awkwardly, "The camp was newly built; we couldn't pay attention to many of the finer details..."
Yuuki's expression was serious, and he could sense the other person's concealment and helplessness, but he didn't say anything.
Elder Mitomon En's abilities are far too limited.
The most important aspect of healthcare is surprisingly poorly regulated.
At that moment, Tsunade's calm voice rang out, a calmness that sent chills down one's spine: "Advisor Shikazu, if I remember correctly, the temporary medical team has special funds. I don't think I'll find these funds in some Jonin's wallet, will I?"
Meeting their gazes, Nara Shikazu said with some remorse, "It's my fault. That money was inexplicably transferred twice, and I don't know where it went."
He didn't try to shift the blame to the other Jonin; there was no need, and it would only offend his colleagues.
On the other hand, as a staff officer, he had no responsibility to supervise logistics.
On the contrary, Elder Mitokado Homura's main duty was to oversee war logistics...
"I see!"
Tsunade entered the medical tent.
A medical ninja stepped forward to greet them, while the others lined up to the side: "Dean, you've finally arrived!"
Yuuki was taken aback. He hadn't expected Konoha Hospital to do this kind of thing.
The patient is lying in bed groaning, and you're all lining up to receive an inspection from your superiors?
Surrounded by the medical ninja, the three arrived at the isolation area of the medical camp.
A rectangular cordon was set up with wooden planks, and a sign at the entrance read, "Beware of toxins, proceed with caution!"
Several people stood outside the railing and could clearly see hundreds of patients lying in the open in the isolation zone, only the rise and fall of their chests proving that they were still alive.
"Officer Shikazu, what exactly happened?" Yuuki's face darkened, and he couldn't help but rebuke, "With so many wounded in the village, why didn't you report it urgently? Why didn't you request medical ninja support?"
As Tsunade's 'minion', show 'loyalty' when the time is right!
Nara Shikatake was taken aback. "I reported it...it's written in the letter..."
"You reported it?" Tsunade sneered. "The village didn't receive it, so no more medical ninjas came along!"
A tremendous storm raged within him.
Okay! Okay!
Mitokazumi, you're trying to play dirty tricks on me?
No wonder only Tsunade and Uchiha Yuuki, two medical ninjas, were there to provide support.
You actually altered the request for help!
Nara Shikata's mood plummeted.
Yuuki sighed and said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, let's treat the wounded first, and then go and argue with Lady Mitokado Homura."
"Fine." Tsunade suppressed her anger.
Seeing this, the medical ninja standing to the side stepped forward and explained, "They've been poisoned. The toxicity is very high, and it spreads through respiration. Based on the current situation, we haven't been able to extract the toxin yet."
"Is it because of a lack of equipment?" Yuuki asked.
"No, this toxin is very peculiar." The doctor scratched his head: "It invades extremely quickly, and once the concentration reaches the target, it kills quickly and disappears quickly."
"Even if extracted on the battlefield... it is difficult to preserve."
Medical ninjas are weak in combat and cannot be recruited on the battlefield.
The risky extraction process could very well result in the ninja doctor himself dying from the poison gas first.
Even if extraction is successfully completed, the toxins will dissipate quickly, and by the time the battle ends, there will probably be nothing left.
"These patients?"
"They were suspected of being poisoned by that kind of poison, but the concentration was not high. After extraction, it was found that it could only damage organs and not cause death. It may also be a different kind of potent poison."
The doctor said with remorse, "Even when faced with a non-lethal poison, we are still helpless."
Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and didn't blame the medical ninjas; they had done their best.
"Kid, hurry up and heal these wounded, then go settle the score with that old man!"
Seeing Tsunade's overly optimistic words, the medical ninja couldn't help but speak up: "Um... Dean, there are seven more wooden-fenced camps like this."
"What did you say? Seven more?" Yushu exclaimed in surprise. "Doesn't that mean there are nearly a thousand wounded? So many battle reports were submitted to the village, yet the total casualties were less than a thousand!"
"hiss."
Nara Shikazu breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why the village hadn't reacted.
Did the villagers think the situation here could hold out?
He was surprised for a moment, then calmed down and analyzed the situation.
indeed.
The village may indeed have misjudged the situation.
The Senju and Hokage factions are at odds, with each faction taking sides, and they're just short of a real fight.
Even the secret police stationed there have all withdrawn.
In addition, given Mitokado Homura's status as an elder, suppressing discordant voices within the camp would be no problem at all.
It is estimated that the elder intends to avoid battle.
Then they reported their 'victories' one after another.
The enormous loss was broken down into smaller losses, and the true situation was gradually reported to fill the gaping hole of the devastating losses.
Unexpectedly, the Hokage reacted so quickly, appointing Orochimaru as the commander-in-chief and Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake as deputy commanders, thus thwarting Yan's plan.
pass!
No wonder several small groups of ninjas have been carrying out mysterious missions these past few days.
No wonder Elder Mitokado En looked unwell!
