That night, Fūmori Masaki was writing a proposal in his tent. He didn't comment on the personnel arrangements in the camp, focusing only on medical matters. Tobirama's arrangements were already very thorough; although there were better methods, they weren't applicable to the current situation because the necessary conditions weren't met.
Medical aspects, however, could be implemented in the camp immediately. Even without formal Medical Ninja, simply standardizing medical procedures and the use of medicine would allow the wounded to recover their combat capability more quickly.
Fūmori Masaki believed that Tobirama could see the importance of medicine. He didn't need to say anything; in the future, Tobirama would take the initiative to establish a Medical Department, and the medical system of Konohagakure would gradually get on the right track.
Satomi was about to go to bed when she saw Fūmori Masaki writing something again. She knew he must be making a suggestion to Lord Tobirama. He had done this before, and his suggestions had been adopted; facts had also proven that Fūmori Masaki's foresight was correct.
Satomi glanced at the content behind Fūmori Masaki's back and suddenly understood. Seeing that Fūmori Masaki was in deep thought, she didn't disturb him and instead lay down on the bed to sleep.
At this time, the camp was silent. Except for those who were occasionally awake and the Ninja responsible for reconnaissance and security, everyone else had basically gone to sleep. Abundant physical strength was the foundation for meeting the enemy; without physical strength, it would be impossible to even condense Chakra.
In a tent within the camp, Tobirama sat with the Jonin to discuss the next combat plan. They had decided to change their policy, leaving the large-scale battlefield to the Samurai Corps for defense, while their own side would attack using traditional Ninja methods of infiltration, sneaking in, and surprise raids.
If the plan was executed smoothly, then given enough time, it would be feasible for Konohagakure to achieve the same results as now without suffering huge casualties.
At the same time, in the Kumogakure camp, First Raikage A made the same judgment as Tobirama. Kumogakure Ninja had suffered enormous losses in this war, even more than Konohagakure, and he likewise could not let these elites continue to be depleted.
A's body was wrapped in bandages, with blood faintly seeping through. As the leader of Kumogakure, he naturally had to face the Second Hokage Tobirama of Konohagakure. For experts of their level, their battles were no longer something ordinary people could intervene in; at least Jonin were required to assist each other.
However, if Kumogakure had Jonin, did Konohagakure not? Of course not. Therefore, on the battlefield, it still turned into a duel between A and Tobirama. Their Lightning Release and Water Release carved out a domain that belonged only to them, and others could only stay far away.
Although Tobirama's strength was not as great as his brother Hashirama's, among ordinary people, he was already a powerhouse standing at the top. Although he was slightly younger than A, he was not inferior at all. Relying on his own intelligence and the Secret Technique he mastered, he even faintly suppressed A during the battle.
At the end of the battle, Tobirama relied on a Secret Technique to avoid A's attack as if teleporting, and used a Water Release move to pierce A's body. Although it wasn't a fatal wound, it caused A to suffer a heavy blow, forcing him to retreat immediately.
Thinking back now, A still couldn't help but marvel at Tobirama's divine speed. He had a premonition that in the future, Tobirama would certainly be praised throughout the Ninja World for his divine speed.
Sitting in front of A was his most trusted deputy, Da. After receiving A's instructions, he went out to adjust the arrangements in the camp. A was injured because of the Second Hokage and now needed quiet rest, so it was better for Da to handle these matters.
Da notified every tent of the latest orders and made some subtle adjustments based on the assigned tasks. Many people felt that such orders were correct, but some expressed dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Da, Lord Raikage wouldn't just be scared like this, would he? It was just one battle, and Konohagakure won't be feeling good either."
"In the end, we're going back to the old ways?" The person speaking was a middle-aged man with long silver hair, two horns on his head, and six whisker-like markings on his face, looking somewhat like a fox.
"That's right, this is simply a shameful act," said another man. He was almost identical to the previous man, the only difference being that his hair was gold.
These two were the two prominent figures in Kumogakure, named Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The two were twins and claimed to be descendants of the Six Paths Sage, and their family enshrined Sage Tools passed down from the Six Paths Sage.
At this time, although Ninja no longer believed in the Shinobi Sect, they still highly respected the Six Paths Sage. Therefore, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were also shrouded in a layer of legendary color, and due to their outstanding strength, they enjoyed great prestige within the Village.
In particular, Kumogakure had once sent these two to lead a team to capture the Nine-Tailed. After being unexpectedly swallowed by the Nine-Tailed, they not only survived inside its belly but escaped by biting and eating the Nine-Tailed's flesh. After devouring the Nine-Tailed's flesh, they didn't die and even gained the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
One must know that the power of a Tailed Beast is very strong, and their flesh is also highly toxic to ordinary people. The mythical color on Kinkaku and Ginkaku became even more intense, and they were even called the "light of kumogakure" by the Village. After Kumogakure obtained the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails, the failure of the attempt to have someone devour the Eight-Tails' flesh pushed the prestige of the two even higher.
Afterward, Kinkaku and Ginkaku also established a squad belonging solely to themselves, called the Kinkaku and Ginkakus Squad, gathering a large number of elite Ninja.
To be honest, Da didn't like these two very much. Although the people of the Land of Lightning were generally bellicose, Kinkaku and Ginkaku's fighting spirit was even stronger. In this war, these two had the clearest supportive attitude. He didn't know if it was because they had devoured the Nine-Tailed's flesh, but they both had some bloodthirsty symptoms.
"This is Lord Raikage's order," Da said calmly. "If this continues, the Village's losses will be too great. We have to consider the future!"
"Tch." Kinkaku curled his lip. "Fine, we'll listen to your orders for now, as long as there are still battles to be fought."
Da frowned slightly; these two really loved war. Although he didn't hate it, he already felt the gains didn't make up for the losses. The Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning would enter a state of long-term war, and he didn't know how other countries would react. In his opinion, the war should be ended as soon as possible, but neither A nor the Daimyo thought so.
Da didn't intend to waste words with Kinkaku and Ginkaku. After confirming they understood, he went to convey the orders to others. Upon arriving in front of a tent, he heard voices coming from inside, sounding somewhat exasperated. He lifted the curtain and walked in, saying, "What are you talking about?"
In this tent were Da's two disciples—Kazu and Sora. After Kazu saw his teacher come in, he said, "Teacher, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that Sora wants to settle the score with a Konoha Ninja."
"I've already lost to him twice! Next time I definitely want to win against that guy!" Sora said loudly; her pride would never allow failure.
"What Konoha Ninja?" Da asked.
"A Ninja who uses Wind Release, very powerful. The wound on my body was left by this person," Kazu answered, pointing to the shallow wound on his body.
Da was slightly startled. He knew how tough his disciple's body was. It was precisely because of this that he developed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to bring out his disciple's physical potential. And now, although it was only a shallow cut, it was able to harm Kazu; this Konoha Ninja's strength was not simple.
Looking at Sora's expression, Da knew his female disciple was a very proud person. With her personality, she would definitely clash with that Konoha Ninja. And from Kazu's tone, this person was not someone Sora could defeat.
While Da listened to Sora's words on the surface, he had already decided in his heart not to let Sora meet that Konoha Ninja. If she intended to search for him actively, he would assign her a task where she couldn't search. After all, she was his disciple, and he didn't want her to face an opponent difficult to defeat.
