I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 77 Seemingly mediocre leaders often possess extraordinary talent or family background.

From Konohagakure to the border of the Land of Fire, a ninja could travel in just two days or less at full speed, but the speed of a large army inevitably slowed down.

Firstly, it's difficult to coordinate when there are many people. Unlike three or five people who can adjust their speed at any time, when there are many people, the only way to maintain formation is to slow down.

Secondly, large groups are easier targets than small squads, which are more agile and harder to detect. Therefore, when a large group advances, sensory ninjas must scout ahead first, and the speed limit of the large group will not exceed the scout speed of the sensory ninjas.

Tatsuma originally applied to join the reconnaissance team while traveling, since he was also very talented in sensory perception. Although his chakra reserves couldn't support him to conduct reconnaissance for an extended period, he could still serve as a substitute.

However, Tsunade refused, because the reconnaissance team was ahead of the main force and was more likely to encounter the enemy. After traveling for several days, the main force did encounter several attacks and lost two sensory ninjas.

It took more than four days for the main force to reach the border camp. Ninjas were stationed along the border between major powers year-round. At this time, the war had not yet truly broken out, and the camp had not been destroyed.

Therefore, the main force did not need to rebuild the camp, but instead directly connected with the existing ninjas in the camp.

However, upon arriving at the camp, Tatsuma was given his first task: to assist the medical team in treating the ninjas within the camp.

"Kazuno, you assist Tatsuma in treating the ninjas with severe external injuries. Take me to see the poisoned ninjas. The rest of you can make flexible arrangements. If you can't handle something, compile the medical records and wait for me to arrive."

Tsunade handed over the handover to Orochimaru and led the medical team directly to the wartime medical department. Upon hearing Tsunade's instructions, the medical team glanced at Tatsuma subconsciously before quickly running towards the wounded.

At that moment, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked up to Tatsuma and said, "Hello, Sakamoto Tatsuma, my name is Mitomon Kazuno, and I am the former manager here. Please come with me."

Tatsuma nodded, without complaining about starting work so soon after arriving, and followed Kazuno into a tent with his backpack on.

The tent reeked of medicine, and four or five ninjas lay groaning on sickbeds or trembling under the covers. Tatsuma glanced at the most recent wounded ninja, frowned, and asked:

"Who handled the previous procedures?"

The wound is on the thigh, likely caused by some kind of wind-style ninjutsu. The entire outer side is cut open, and there is minor damage to the bone. However, the most serious injury is not the cut itself, but the infection.

Upon hearing this, Kazuno looked at Tatsuma's furrowed brows and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's me."

"Weren't there any medical ninjas in the camp before?"

Tatsuma walked to the side, took off his backpack, and asked, "What's wrong?" Kano blushed. So, she'd been expelled from the medical ninja ranks? But she could only say, with shame:

"Medical facilities here are limited."

Tatsuma ignored her feeble suggestion, put on a mask and gloves, and then took out a bundle of sealed scrolls from his backpack. After unsealing them, more than a dozen bottles of saline solution and hydrogen peroxide appeared.

Picking up two of the bottles, along with a pack of medical needles and thread, a mask, and gloves, Chenma returned to the bedside and asked, "Can you stitch up the wound?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuno quickly nodded. Tatsuma said, "I will remove the infected and purulent part of his wound, and you will suture it to stop the bleeding. Only then can we use Healing Palm Technique or other ninjutsu to assist in the treatment."

If it's a recent injury, then as long as there's no dirt in the wound, you can just use Healing Palm Technique. However, this ninja's wound is already festering, so it's not suitable to use Healing Palm Technique.

Kazuno nodded, subconsciously taking the things Tatsuma handed her. After realizing what was happening, she put on a mask and gloves like Tatsuma did. Tatsuma casually said, "Remember to cover your hair next time."

"I see."

Suddenly, Kazuno felt like she had just graduated from the Ninja Academy a few years ago and was assigned to the Konoha Ninja Hospital for an internship. Tatsuma was like her supervisor back then, except that the supervisor was just fierce and didn't teach her anything.

Tatsuma examined the wound, exchanged a few words with the injured ninja, and then began to work. Chakra condensed in his palm, and a scalpel made of blue chakra appeared, which he used to make incisions around the patient's wound.

He didn't use any anesthetic drugs because the patient's wound was already tightly bandaged to stop the bleeding, and he was almost unconscious at this point, so what need was there for anesthetic drugs?

After cutting off the infected and suppurating area, rinsing it with hydrogen peroxide and saline, and explaining to Kazuno how to suture it, Tatsuma took off his gloves and mask, put on new ones, and went to the next bed.

The next one wasn't so lucky. He was injured in the ribs, and his lungs and stomach were also affected. Tatsuma only cleaned the wounds and stopped the bleeding. He couldn't handle such an injury, so he had to leave it to Tsunade.

The others were relatively lucky; their wounds were all on their limbs, with only one on their buttocks. All that was needed was to remove the infected area, clean it, and suture it again. After doing all that, Tatsuma looked at Kazuno with a strange expression.

He remembered that Tsunade had Kazuno take him to treat patients with serious external injuries, so why were they all such basic injuries?

If the wound hadn't been treated incorrectly before, all that would have been needed was cleaning and suturing. Even without medical ninjutsu, it wouldn't have gotten this infected, right?

Or is Kazuno's position as the person in charge fake? Wait, Mitomon. Tatsuma scrutinized Mitomon Kazuno, feeling that she was just there to gain experience.

Kazuno lowered her head deeply under Tatsuma's gaze, feeling somewhat aggrieved. She was indeed a medical ninja, but she had never treated a patient with such a high risk of dying from excessive bleeding in a short period of time.

To prevent these wounded from dying from excessive blood loss, she could only try to stop the bleeding immediately, then used various hemostatic drugs, hoping for a miracle.

Having assumed he had guessed the truth, Tatsuma said nothing more. After all, as a commoner and a descendant of a ninja clan, he shouldn't make unwarranted comments, lest he be retaliated against later.

He examined the wound that He Nai had stitched up again. It was only passable and not exactly beautiful, but at least the stitching was quite successful. After the surrounding bandages were removed, blood flow was restored and there was no further bleeding.

Chenma then used the Palm Immortal Technique to accelerate the healing of the patients' wounds. There were only four patients who needed his treatment, and even Chenma wouldn't be so weak as to need to rest halfway through.

However, since each of them had a large chunk of flesh removed from their bodies, although the wounds had healed, they still needed some time to recover before they could continue fighting. After letting them sleep, Chenma organized the medical report and surgical plan for the patient with damaged internal organs.

Tatsuma had not studied medical ninjutsu in depth, but he had been by Tsunade's side for more than half a year and had seen a lot of cases. Although he did not know how to perform the surgery, he still relied on his memory to introduce the surgical plans of several excellent cases.

Anyway, after all these things are organized, Tsunade will have to go through them again. If he guesses correctly, it will save Tsunade some time. Even if he guesses wrong, it won't waste Tsunade's time.

"Not bad. How about changing your mind and learning medical ninjutsu from me?"

Tatsuma, who was writing furiously, suddenly trembled, and a large hole appeared in the paper. Turning around, he saw Tsunade looking at him with a satisfied smile. Tatsuma took a deep breath and said:

"Teacher, scaring someone can be deadly. By the way, was your poison problem resolved so quickly?"

"These are all existing stock from Sunagakure; we have ready-made solutions."

Tsunade picked up the plan written by Tatsuma, looked at it, and compared it with the medical records. She said, "You don't necessarily have to fight to become a ninja. I think you have the talent to be a medical ninja."

"Never mind, I still don't like the atmosphere in the ward. And... it's not because I'm a coward that I don't dare to kill, it's just... never mind."

Tatsuma guessed Tsunade's motives for repeatedly trying to persuade him to transfer to medical school, but he still refused. Tsunade nodded and stopped trying to persuade him, saying instead:

"Go and visit the other wards. The medical conditions here are terrible. Go and help out."

"Okay, teacher."
