Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 135 The Situation

"Send these medicines to the rear hospital and give them to Tsunade-senpai."

As they walked, Uchiha Mika spoke to her assistant.

This is a frontline hospital where initial treatment is provided to wounded soldiers coming from the battlefield.

For minor injuries, treatment is given on the spot, along with medication to allow the patient to recover naturally. For more serious injuries involving bones or ligaments, only emergency care is provided before transferring the injured to a rear hospital.

With this batch of supplies, the pressure over there should be greatly reduced.

In times of war, medicine is always a scarce resource. Taking advantage of their past relationship, Uchiha Mika didn't mind contributing her share.

Tsunade...

Upon hearing this, Toshiro couldn't help but recall a beautiful scene. To be fair, Tsunade's looks are truly stunning, it's just a pity…

If I remember correctly, Tsunade's boyfriend, Dan Kato, died during the last Shinobi World War. I wonder how she is doing now, and whether her hemophobia has flared up!

However, since she is still able to stay in the rear hospital, it is likely that her hemophobia is not as severe as it later became, and she is not so weak and trembling at the sight of blood.

Even mental illnesses have a slow, incubating process. At this stage, one might be able to barely control oneself, but as time goes on, things could change.

"By the way, Sister Meixiang, did you give the clan leader the report I summarized last time?"

"Yes! It's already been submitted to Chief Chongshan, and we've discussed it with the elders in the camp. Everyone is taking it very seriously."

"We've already informed the family, asking them to increase investment in medical care, and we've also started planning to select some suitable people from the family to train."

The so-called report was an investigation report that Toshiro compiled himself in his spare time after arriving here.

He compiled statistics on the causes of death of all the clansmen who had passed away since his arrival at the frontline hospital where he worked.

Without statistics, it's unbelievable that a significant portion of the clansmen died due to insufficient medical resources.

If given good medical care, these people have a good chance of surviving.

This proportion reached an astonishing 41%.

When the chieftain of Chongshan first received the report, he was shocked. After personally leading a team to confirm the cause of death of those people, he finally decided to start training a large number of medical professionals.

The high mortality rate was not due to negligence on the part of Uchiha Mika and her assistants.

This is indeed a battlefield, and not just some remote corner, but the main fighting zone on the front lines.

At the slightest sign of trouble, large-scale ninja battles would erupt, often involving thousands of ninjas clashing.

When the war begins, the number of wounded will suddenly increase dramatically, and even if they split up, they won't be enough to keep up with the demand.

This results in a large number of injured people gradually losing their value for rescue and eventually losing their lives.

As the clan leader, Uchiha Shigeyama was vaguely aware of this situation, but he did not expect it to be so serious.

After being shocked by Toshiro's detailed data, I had no choice but to make painful changes.

After all, these lost lives were all members of their own people, and these high-ranking members of the tribe couldn't afford to be indifferent.

The current front line is still within the Land of Fire.

This great war was instigated by the Land of Wind.

At the start of the war, taking advantage of the surprise attack, the Land of Wind crossed the buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind and invaded the Land of Fire.

They pressed on with renewed vigor, reaching the vicinity of Kikyo Castle, which finally allowed Konoha to stabilize its position.

The two sides began a protracted battle around the Kikyō Mountain defense line.

It's not that Konoha doesn't want to drive the Sand Village out of the country in one fell swoop; it's just that the current situation doesn't allow them to do so.

Since the Sand Village launched their surprise attack, they have gained a certain advantage due to their initial advantage. However, the Leaf Village, with its advantages in economy, numbers, and elemental advantage, is fully capable of defeating the Sand Village.

While I wouldn't say I could easily defeat it, it's certainly within my grasp.

But the problem lies in Konoha's geographical location!

Following the actions of the Sand Village, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water all began to stir.

From time to time, spies from the other side would infiltrate the border to check the strength and weakness of Konoha Village.

This forced the village's leadership to deploy a large number of troops along the border to prevent a surprise attack, catching them off guard once again!

That would be impossible to explain to the domestic audience.

This indirectly resulted in a severe shortage of troops at the Kikyōyama front.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the Sand Ninja army, Konoha could only respond with a mere four thousand soldiers.

It should be noted that the Sand Village on the other side used every ounce of its strength, even conscripting some of its students who were still studying at the Ninja Academy and sending them to the battlefield, assembling a large force of more than 8,000 people.

If it weren't for the ease of operations on home soil, the geographical advantages, and the elemental advantage, it would be a big question whether they could even hold them off.

[I remember Kabuto was pretty much a victim of this battle!]

[Seriously! As expected of one of the Five Great Nations? Although they became quite weak later on, the Sand Village still had the power to fight back at that time...]

As Toshiro slowly walked into his tent, he pondered the current battle situation.

He didn't know what the future held, only that Konoha had suffered extremely heavy casualties in the Third Shinobi World War.

First they fought the Sand Village, then the Rock Village, and then the Land of Lightning, the Land of Water...

Konoha conquered all of the few remaining major powers in the ninja world, defeating them one by one.

In the meantime, to catch their breath, they were forced to sign a peace treaty with the Hidden Stone Village, a deal they gained without receiving any benefits whatsoever.

It's important to understand that Konoha held a significant advantage at the time, but the dire situation forced the Third Hokage to make concessions.

Otherwise, the situation will likely get even worse.

Putting aside matters that were none of his concern, Toshiro created two shadow clones in his tent to help him train.

Thanks to his summoned beast, he now has his own tent in the camp; otherwise, it would be quite inconvenient to share a tent with others.

This preferential treatment was given to him because he was a special talent and a medical worker in dire need, thanks to Sister Meixiang's care...
