Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: The War Begins

"You choose to be a Medical Ninja instead of a regular Ninja? That is indeed a good choice."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "But this is probably for the best. At least for a child your age, the Konoha Hospital is more suitable than the battlefield."

He said this while looking at Minamikawa Yuu's young face.

"Yes, thank you, Hokage-sama."

Minamikawa Yuu nodded respectfully, then slowly retreated.

After returning home, he rested for a few days. Once the letter of appointment from the Konoha Hospital arrived, he immediately went to the hospital to report.

The environment of the Konoha Hospital was only ordinary, with nothing strange about it anywhere.

After entering the premises, Minamikawa Yuu realized that even within the Konoha Hospital, not all staff members were Medical Ninja.

Aside from a few who were Medical Ninja, the vast majority were still ordinary people.

Judging by this, even within Konoha, the number of Medical Ninja was still not very large, only accounting for a small minority.

Even the Konoha Hospital could not afford the luxury of having too many Medical Ninja.

After Minamikawa Yuu entered the premises, he was quickly welcomed by the people around him.

The reason for this was partly because of his young age.

Minamikawa Yuu, only seven years old, was considered the youngest medical staff member in the Konoha Hospital.

Furthermore, most people here were women, so a boy like him was naturally quite popular.

The other reason was related to his Medical Ninjutsu.

As mentioned before, Minamikawa Yuu's Medical Ninjutsu skill level was quite good.

Although not top-tier, he could be considered one of the best within the Konoha Hospital.

In a place like a hospital, a person's skill level naturally influences the opinions of others.

In just over a month, Minamikawa Yuu integrated into the environment here.

"Huh, you are Senior Rin, right?"

On this day, Minamikawa Yuu came to work at the hospital as usual.

A familiar figure appeared before him.

It was Rin Nohara, who had come here at this moment.

Minamikawa Yuu looked at her and greeted her proactively.

"You are..."

Rin Nohara looked at Minamikawa Yuu in front of her, was initially surprised, and only recognized him after a while: "It's you..."

"Senior Rin Nohara, is there anything bothering you?"

Minamikawa Yuu asked, "I'll get your medicine for you, Senior."

"It's not for me."

When mentioning this, Rin Nohara looked a little embarrassed.

She hesitated at first, but finally spoke, explaining the reason for her visit to the hospital.

The injured person was not her, but Obito.

Recently, Obito had gotten into a conflict with some people and fought them without permission.

The final result was a mutual loss; while the opponents suffered, Obito himself was also injured.

The reason Obito got into the conflict was because of Kakashi.

Sometime ago, a major event occurred in Konoha.

Kakashi's father, the famous White Fang of Konoha, suddenly committed suicide at home.

Such a manner of death was undoubtedly a disgrace for a Ninja.

When the news spread, rumors flew throughout Konoha.

Although he might seem somewhat inconspicuous in later generations, in this era, the reputation of the White Fang of Konoha was soaring, and he was an existence completely comparable to the Sannin.

The impact of such a person committing suicide at home was considerable.

Some people were secretly slandering and defaming, and Obito couldn't stand these people insulting his friend, so he got into an argument and ended up getting injured.

"So that's what happened..."

Listening to Rin Nohara's words, Minamikawa Yuu couldn't help but smile: "Senior Obito is quite a passionate person..."

Regardless of what happened later, at this moment, before he was corrupted, Obito was undoubtedly a hot-blooded youth.

It's not strange for someone like that, who cannot stand his friend being slandered, to do such a thing.

"But as for Senior Kakashi..."

Thinking of Kakashi, Minamikawa Yuu sighed softly, unsure how to comment: "He must be very sad right now..."

"Yes," Rin Nohara nodded. "After dropping off Obito's medicine, I plan to go see Kakashi..."

"I hope all the Seniors can recover soon."

Minamikawa Yuu spoke softly: "I have prepared the medicine. Senior Rin, please take it and use it."

"If you need anything else later, just come find me."

"Thank you for your trouble, then."

Rin Nohara nodded, said goodbye to Minamikawa Yuu, and then left.

After she left, Minamikawa Yuu looked at Rin Nohara's retreating figure and sighed deeply.

War was about to begin.

The longer Minamikawa Yuu stayed in the Konoha Hospital, the more he felt the changes.

As time passed, the atmosphere throughout Konoha began to grow tense.

Many things seemed to be changing.

Finally, at a certain moment, the war completely broke out.

The war initially broke out between the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning.

Due to conflicts from the last Ninja World War, friction had always existed between the two sides.

This time, conflicts continued, and both sides dispatched a large number of personnel to the border.

But at the critical moment when the great war was about to erupt, a major event changed the situation.

The Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage, suddenly disappeared on the battlefield.

Affected by this, the entire battlefield situation rapidly changed.

After the Land of Lightning received the news, they immediately sent troops to Sand Village, which triggered a series of subsequent events.

The Third Great Ninja War thus began... "Relax."

Inside the Konoha Hospital, Minamikawa Yuu stood in front of a young man, placing one hand on his chest.

Faint Chakra was injected into the young man's body. Under Minamikawa Yuu's control, it quickly healed the injuries inside the patient's body and maintained his vital signs.

Given Minamikawa Yuu's ability, it was naturally impossible to instantly heal a patient completely and restore them to normal.

Even if he could, the Chakra consumption would be unbearable.

Therefore, as a Medical Ninja, his main goal was to preserve the patient's life and ensure they wouldn't die from their injuries.

Being able to achieve this already made him a very good Medical Ninja.

After finishing the treatment of the newly arrived patient, a woman walked over and advised Minamikawa Yuu: "Yuu, go take a rest."

"You've been working for a long time. Continuing like this will be bad for your health."

"Yes, I'll leave this place to you then."

Minamikawa Yuu nodded and slowly stepped away.

After leaving the Konoha Hospital, the fatigue on his face vanished, and he looked ahead.

"The war situation is getting more intense."

Looking at the busy crowds around him, this thought crossed his mind.

Based on his recent observations, the number of injured people being transported to the hospital from various places has significantly increased lately.

This shows that the fighting on the front lines is now very fierce, and the intensity is rising.
