Two days later, at noon, they arrived at the front-line base.
"Tsunade, you're back?"
"What, I heard you went back and beat up Lord Danzo's subordinate, and even destroyed the Root Organization's base?"
At this moment, a soft, effeminate voice spoke.
That's right, it was Orochimaru.
"Roy, this is Orochimaru."
"He's the current general commander; you can listen to him for most arrangements in the future."
"As for daily matters, interact with him less; that guy is a bit perverted."
Tsunade said without mercy.
"Understood."
"Lord Orochimaru, I am Roy, Teacher Tsunade's disciple."
"Please take care of me in the future."
Roy greeted him with a smile.
After all, he was Tsunade's companion, and Orochimaru hadn't defected from the Village yet.
The necessary politeness was still required.
"Tsunade's disciple, huh? Not bad."
"Alright, the Medical Team is already overwhelmed. Chiyo's poison is indeed quite troublesome."
Orochimaru said with a helpless expression.
On the battlefield, Orochimaru was mainly responsible for combat and overall command.
Tsunade was responsible for medical care and arrangements in the rear.
Their cooperation worked out well.
"Okay."
Tsunade didn't say anything further and directly left with Roy.
"Roy, huh?"
"To be favored by both Danzo and Tsunade, he must be a promising young fellow."
"Perhaps..."
Orochimaru thought, unconsciously licking his lips.
And Roy also felt Orochimaru's gaze, sighing inwardly.
Indeed, if you're too outstanding, you'll be targeted.
If it weren't for Tsunade as his backing, he'd probably be on a lab table right now.
Upon arriving at the Medical Team's location at the base, Roy was stunned.
Various festering wounds, severed limbs, severely injured bodies...
Is this... the battlefield?
Before the system's prompt finished, Roy had already approached a casualty and began treating the wound.
"Lady Tsunade, this is..."
A Medical Ninja looked at Roy with some curiosity.
"My disciple, Roy."
"He will be fighting alongside us from now on."
Tsunade gave a simple introduction and then began her daily treatments.
Initially, everyone thought Roy was too young to withstand the pressure of the battlefield.
They only believed he was Tsunade's disciple, here to gain experience on the battlefield.
But soon, their opinions of Roy changed.
Not only did he have precise techniques in treating injuries,
but his efficiency was also unusually high.
He could already keep up with them, the intermediate Medical Ninja.
This didn't seem like his first time performing treatment at all.
"Lady Tsunade said that Roy had already familiarized himself with the treatment procedures at the Village Hospital."
"This child's serious demeanor is excellent; he will definitely be an outstanding Medical Ninja in the future."
"I feel he's already an excellent Medical Ninja now."
...
In just over an hour, Roy had gained everyone's recognition.
For a child to achieve this much was already very commendable.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing basic treatment, gaining Body +4, and Fixed Chakra +23."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing basic treatment, gaining Body +2, and Fixed Chakra +19."
...
At this moment, Roy was already immersed in the system's wonderful prompts.
The treatment of casualties had two distinctions.
Firstly, basic treatment, which could also be understood as emergency care.
This would yield small rewards.
Because it didn't consume too much Chakra, it allowed Roy to continue treating more Ninja.
"Everyone, follow Roy's treatment method: first, perform emergency care to save lives, then proceed with in-depth treatment one by one."
Tsunade also noticed Roy's actions and immediately promoted this treatment method.
Before, there were always not enough Medical Ninja.
This led to many Ninja dying from severe injuries before they could even receive treatment.
Using Roy's method could greatly increase the survival rate of the casualties.
"Understood, Lady Tsunade."
A group of people also began to follow Roy's treatment method.
In just over half a day, all casualties had received emergency care.
Moreover, most Medical Ninja still had a good amount of stamina and Chakra left.
"Little Roy is really good."
"Yeah, I finally understand why he could become Lady Tsunade's disciple."
"Now is when we'll truly be tested. Let's begin."
...
A group of Medical Ninja talked about Roy while treating patients.
Soon, the news of a young genius in the Medical Ninja division spread throughout the entire front line.
Such news undoubtedly boosted the morale of Konoha's Ninja.
As for Roy, he was currently immersed in this paradise of experience.
That evening, inside the tent.
With Orochimaru as the general commander, all other squad members gathered here.
Of course, Roy was also brought along by Tsunade.
"Currently, the Hidden Sand Village's offensive is still very fierce."
"Because of personal emotions, Chiyo, as the general commander, will not withdraw easily."
"I estimate we still need to hold out for quite some time."
Orochimaru pointed to their current combat location.
Fighting against the Hidden Sand Village had a very troublesome aspect.
They had many puppet masters, coupled with poisons.
The war of attrition was a headache for Konoha.
"The frontal battlefield is fine for now, but the main issue is..."
"If this attrition continues, and other battlefields don't receive support, it will become quite difficult."
"If it weren't for Sakumo Hatake's failed mission, we would have already returned to the Village by now."
Shino Sarutobi said with some dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, the mission failure was due to Sakumo Hatake, the team leader.
As for the specific reason, he didn't know, nor did he want to know.
"That's right, if..."
"Wouldn't it be better to have Medical Ninja accompany them to the front line?"
Just then, a childish voice came from the corner.
"Medical Ninja?"
"Where did this naive child come from?" Shino Sarutobi laughed.
"Naive?"
"Based on what I've learned today, many Ninja's injuries aren't actually severe."
"The reason they have to be sent for treatment is due to wound infection and deterioration."
"If there were Medical Ninja within a squad, they could provide immediate treatment during battle."
"Also, Medical Ninja aren't weak, okay?"
"You can't even beat my teacher."
Roy walked to Tsunade's side and said proudly.
Hearing Roy's words, Shino Sarutobi wanted to retort, but then he saw Roy standing next to Tsunade.
He was momentarily speechless, almost choking.
"Alright, Roy, don't cause trouble."
"Most Medical Ninja are not good at combat; their more important job is to stay in the rear to ensure medical strength."
Although Tsunade really wanted to see a member of the Sarutobi Clan get shut down, that was the reality of the situation.
