Chapter 66: Furutani Hanako
Chapter 66: Furutani Hanako
It was a little different from what the three little ones had initially expected.
Kaito thought that given the current situation, once they arrived at the front line, they would be faced with continuous battles, and their lives might be in danger at any time.
Who would have known that, after five days at the camp, the three of them had only been assigned to patrol near the camp for a period of time every day, and the rest of the time they spent practicing chakra in their own team's tent.
It's not that the fighting on the front line isn't fierce right now. The wounded and dead bodies that have been sent back to the camp from time to time in the past few days have reminded everyone that the front line is not peaceful.
However, most of the battles now take place within the territory of the Land of Fire.
Thanks to the fact that the village chose to camp on this small island of the former Land of Whirlpool close to the coastline, it was difficult for Konohagakure Village to send a reconnaissance team near the camp.
The current identities of the three little ones are Ao's direct guards. Now that Ao does not leave the camp and is in charge of commanding the perception ninjas, the three can only receive some very safe patrol missions.
However, this made the three people, who were already conspicuous in the camp due to their young age, even less popular with others.
The reason why the three of them were not picked on by other people on the front line was that the Kirigakure Village had very strict management of ninjas, and no one wanted to be punished because of a personal dispute.
Fortunately, Kaito's recent actions have helped the three little ones regain some points in their impression.
"Hey, Kaito Boy, you're back from patrol."
"Isn't this Doctor Mirukawa? I think I've almost recovered from my injury."
"Doctor Mirukawa, thank you very much for treating our captain last time."
As soon as the three of them returned to the camp, several ninjas from the Kirigakure Village immediately greeted Kaito.
Of course, there are still many discordant voices, but Kaito and the other two chose to ignore them. The current situation is much better than when they first arrived at the front line.
Kaito responded to these people one by one with a smile, without a trace of restraint.
Mei and Zabuza were not surprised by this. In recent days, Kaito had been running to the medical tent whenever he had nothing to do and had helped treat many wounded soldiers.
Although the Kirigakure ninjas usually look down upon the profession of doctor.
However, when they really find themselves injured and helpless on the battlefield, most of the Kirigakure ninjas will not offend these doctors for no reason.
What's more, Kaito himself is not an ordinary doctor. With the blessing of his identity as a medical ninja, Kaito is more unique among ordinary doctors.
As a result, teammates Mei and Zabuza received less contempt in the camp.
Mei asked, "Kaito, do you want to go back with us to rest?"
"You guys go ahead, I'll go help out in the medical department."
Kaito didn't think much about it and rejected the suggestions of his two teammates.
"Blue, you and Mei should go back to the tent and rest first. I'll bring some food back to you guys later."
"Quack~O.O"
Then Kaito didn't care about the reactions of his two teammates and strode towards the medical tent.
"Doctor Mirukawa, you're here to help again."
As soon as he entered the medical tent, before some of the newly arrived wounded could wonder what this kid was doing here, a ninja came to greet Kaito.
Although medical ninjas have begun to be promoted in the village, it has only been a short time and the few formal medical ninjas have been divided into various ninja teams.
Therefore, the current medical personnel in the frontline camp are still mainly traditional doctors. This makes Kaito, the medical ninja, seem a bit different here, but also makes it easier for other ninjas to accept him.
Kaito still smiled and nodded in response, and was about to go forward to help these people check on their recovery from their injuries.
A gentle female voice came from behind.
"Kaito, there are several wounded people here who have been poisoned by snake venom. Please come over and help me use Delicate Illness Extraction jutsu to extract poison."
The person who spoke was a woman with yellow hair tied in a ponytail. She is an excellent doctor who Kaito had just met in the past few days.
Since this female doctor is very similar to Nakamura Keiko in personality, way of speaking, and has superb medical skills, Kaito has a great liking for this doctor.
"Okay, Hanako-senpai, I'll be right there."
Upon hearing the voice, Kaito immediately put down what he was doing and went to help with the treatment.
Furutani Hanako looked at Kaito's hurried appearance, smiled gently and said softly.
"It's okay. With Kaito's help, all these poisoned people can be treated in time."
Then she used the "Delicate Illness Extraction jutsu" on the seriously poisoned ninja.
Like Nakamura Keiko, although Furutani Hanako is not in the ninja sequence, she has also mastered a lot of medical ninjutsu, and has recently given Kaito a lot of guidance in this regard.
This is also one of the reasons why Kaito comes here to help whenever he has free time recently.
"No way, this kid is also a doctor? Is he really capable? Are you guys just trying to fool us?"
A round-faced ninja whose poisoning was not too serious, saw Kaito coming up and directly took out a basin of medicine and began to treat his teammates. He immediately questioned Kaito's ability.
Before Kaito could start explaining himself, Furutani Hanako beside him started to explain on his behalf.
"Kaito is a very capable doctor, and his attainments in many medical ninjutsu are beyond even my reach."
The round-faced ninja actually questioned subconsciously, but now that he was refuted by an ordinary doctor, whom he usually looked down upon, he immediately felt that he had lost face.
But before he could speak again, a senior ninja on the other bed started yelling at him.
"If you don't want to be treated, get out! Questioning Dr. Mirukawa? Who do you think you are!"
The round-faced ninja now completely calmed down. He had seen the senior ninja who scolded him on the battlefield two days ago. The wounds on the other party's body were caused when he was killing an entire team of Konoha ninjas alone. He still remembered his brutal look clearly.
Seeing that the round-faced ninja said no more, Kaito turned around and nodded to express his gratitude to the senior ninja who spoke up.
When the other party came to the medical tent two days ago, he was covered in blade wounds, and it was Kaito who treated him.
Although he encountered some doubts, Kaito still removed the poison from these ninjas without any hesitation.
However, when it was the round-faced ninja's turn, Kaito seemed to have hit him too hard, causing the other party to grimace in pain.
"Okay~" Kaito finally patted the other person's wound, indicating that the treatment was complete and he could leave.
Furutani Hanako also raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like there are more and more casualties recently."
It seemed that Furutani Hanako's words had resonated with some people. The wounded man who was familiar with her spoke helplessly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is what happens with small-scale infiltrations, but Konoha isn't having an easy time either."
The jonin who had spoken up earlier also followed suit.
"Humph, Konoha is now forced to defend itself. When the reinforcements arrive in two days, we will definitely let them see how powerful Blood Mist Ninjas are!"
Several wounded soldiers who were in good spirits immediately started chatting about this topic.
There is no other way. During this period of medical stress, the wounded who can still remain in the medical tent are either those who have just been injured and received treatment, or those whose injuries are too serious and must be kept for observation.
Some people are so wrapped up that only their mouths can move. They have nothing to do if they lie here and don't chat.
