"Hey kid, haven't you held on long enough?"

Tsunade said with a forced smile. She hadn't noticed how long Yoichi had been holding her hand. She really shouldn't let her guard down around this cheeky kid.

"Well, your body isn't shaking anymore, and your voice is quite strong. It seems the hemophobia has been temporarily suppressed."

Yoichi finally let go of Tsunade's hand, nodding. "Warmth can indeed dispel hemophobia. If it flares up again, feel free to come to me."

"You little—"

"Tsunade-sama, let's focus on the task at hand."

Yoichi's mention of business matters interrupted Tsunade's thoughts, calming her down. She was here for serious matters, but being led by this kid was unsettling.

"Fine, I'll start the treatment. I'll need to borrow your tent; arrange an open space outside for me to use Kuchiyose no Jutsu."

Tsunade ordered, then covered her eyes and had Shizune help her with a blood sample on her hand. She then stepped outside the tent and performed the summoning jutsu.

A large slug, over ten meters tall, was summoned by Tsunade. Seeing this, Shizune quickly wiped off the blood.

"Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade commanded, "Split up and find all the severely injured ninjas in the camp. I will heal them through you."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Yoichi then said, "Shizune, inform Orochimaru-sama that Tsunade-sama is starting the treatment."

"Oh, got it."

Shizune hurried towards Orochimaru's tent to deliver the message.

Tsunade returned to the tent and sat down. Yoichi followed and asked, "Do you need chakra support?"

"Don't underestimate me; I'm one of the Sannin."

Tsunade clicked her tongue, feeling that Yoichi was treating her like she needed care. As one of the Sannin and a senior, her pride resisted accepting help from a younger ninja. Yet, deep down, she had a strange feeling, a slight hope that someone would take care of her.

The large slug split into hundreds of smaller slugs, which quickly crawled onto the wounded. Shizune relayed Tsunade's plan to Orochimaru, who then directed the medical team to follow her instructions.

As Tsunade began the treatment, her body released large amounts of chakra, which were transmitted to the injured through the slugs.

This slug technique was incredibly effective on the battlefield, allowing rapid treatment of all injured ninjas. If the war lasted a day, a lightly injured ninja could return to battle three times in a day, effectively multiplying the manpower.

Previously, due to the shortage of medical ninjas, many lightly injured ninjas hadn't received treatment. With Tsunade's arrival, all the wounded began to receive care.

Even Sakumo had a small slug on him, transmitting Tsunade's chakra for healing.

Sakumo's shoulder injury, which would have taken a long time to heal, was now rapidly regenerating thanks to Tsunade's treatment. His bones and muscles were mending quickly.

Chakra transmission continued for a long time. The number of severely injured ninjas surprised Tsunade, making her break into a sweat.

Just then, a hand rested on her shoulder, transmitting chakra to her.

Tsunade was momentarily stunned but quickly used the chakra, as sharing chakra between medical ninjas was common. Utilizing chakra while performing medical ninjutsu was not difficult for her.

'Affection +2, Tsunade's tsundere personality is truly laid bare by this ability.'

Yoichi thought, seeing the guide's message. Tsundere types were probably the most likely to remain single.

The slug treatment lasted over an hour before Tsunade finally stopped. She was sweating heavily but opened her eyes to find a damp towel handed to her.

".…Thanks."

Tsunade muttered, momentarily taken aback. How was this cheeky kid becoming so good at taking care of her? The chakra transmission earlier also felt…

"How is the treatment going? What about Sakumo-senpai's injuries?"

Yoichi's serious question interrupted Tsunade's thoughts, bringing her back to reality. "It's going well. The lightly injured are battle-ready again. Some of the severely injured can move, and the rest will recover in about ten days. Sakumo is also on the mend."

"That's good. This means we have some manpower and won't be stretched too thin."

Yoichi nodded, noticing the new prompt from the guide but decided to trust his ability.

"There's one more thing, Tsunade. I need to let you know…"

"What is it? Why so serious all of a sudden?"

Before she could finish, Yoichi extended his hand, and a small tree sprouted from his palm.

"Mokuton? Did you study my grandfather's cells?"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed at the sight of the Wood Release. She remembered Orochimaru's earlier words, realizing his caution about a potential conflict with Yoichi over this matter.

"Aren't you angry? Mokuton is a symbol of the Senju, but now it's in me."

"What's the use of anger? Would you believe me if I said I wasn't angry?"

Tsunade sighed. She genuinely didn't feel much anger. "How did you obtain the power of Mokuton?"

"For various reasons, I suspect Danzō wanted to use Mokuton to counterbalance my Mangekyō Sharingan. He enlisted Orochimaru to research Mokuton. But Orochimaru and I are close, so we worked together to develop Mokuton and I transplanted it into myself."

Yoichi felt relieved, thankful for his ability's reliability.

"There might be more than just me with Mokuton in the village. For specifics, you'll have to ask Orochimaru."

Tsunade relaxed her tense expression, biting her finger, "I know more about using my grandfather's cells for experiments than anyone else. My great-uncle started it, leaving more experimental notes in the Senju clan than in Konoha. But he couldn't replicate my grandfather's power and eventually gave up."

"Once… my younger brother wanted to be Hokage."

Tsunade paused, then continued, "I wanted to help him achieve that dream, so I thought of my great-uncle's experiments. But it was too difficult. Without the resources my great-uncle had, I gave up… I didn't expect you, a brat, to inherit it."

"It's perfected now. If you want, it might even cure your hemophobia."

"I don't need that... method."

Tsunade turned her head, speaking quietly, but Yoichi heard her.

"I understand. We'll use our agreed method. You'll become my ally."

What's with this cheeky kid?

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't used to this feeling, but she didn't dislike it.

"What do you plan next?"

"I'll stay here. You know my situation, so tell Orochimaru not to let injured ninjas disturb me. I'll summon slugs to help when needed."

Tsunade responded thoughtfully. She couldn't stay away from Konoha during a war, especially with this kid underestimating her ninja resolve.

"By the way, I bought the tea you wanted. Don't use such poor excuses next time."

Tsunade waved her hand, mentioning their quick trip to the Land of Tea. They bought tea and observed the situation before returning.

"Tsunade, thank you."

Orochimaru entered, smiling, "I misspoke earlier. Even not at your best, you're Konoha's medical master."

"Don't flatter me, Orochimaru. I haven't forgotten about the experiments with my grandfather's cells."

Tsunade threatened, but Orochimaru was unfazed. He knew she would have acted if she were truly angry.

"I've arranged a tent beside Yoichi's for you. If Kumogakure attacks…"

Orochimaru hoped Yoichi would protect Tsunade, as he was the only one capable.

"Kumogakure shouldn't attack. I'm well-rested."

Using Godzilla's body was unfamiliar, requiring chakra control to manage heat. But with practice, he'd master it.

"The two Iwagakure Jinchūriki are dead. They've lost their main fighting force. Kumogakure must focus on appeasing Iwagakure, or the Third Raikage will be in trouble."

In such a war, the Third Raikage's absence was telling. He was likely at the Grass Country battlefield.

If the Third Raikage were here, Konoha would have been completely defeated.

Kumogakure missed their chance to defeat Konoha. Tsunade's arrival provided much-needed relief.

"For now, we wait for village reinforcements. Tsunade, we're counting on you."

Orochimaru left to continue preparing the camp's defenses.

Tsunade felt uneasy in Yoichi's tent, sensing he might say something to make her heart race.

'What is this kid up to?'

Tsunade's thoughts raced. Since Dan's death, no one had cared for her so attentively. It was annoying but also touching.

"Tsunade-sama, the tent is ready."

Shizune poked her head in, seeing Tsunade storm out. "Got it. Let's go."

"Huh? Why is Tsunade-sama in such a hurry?"

...

"Quiet!"

"Dead?"

Kitsuchi clenched his fists upon hearing from the injured Bee. "Why did Rōshi and Han die?"

"Kitsuchi, my brother barely escaped thanks to the Hachibi. He almost died too!"

A defended Bee, who lay weakly on the bed.

"But our village lost two Jinchūriki!"

Kitsuchi was furious. This loss was devastating for Iwagakure. Even if the bijuu could regenerate, it would take years.

How many lives would it cost to capture the Yonbi and Gobi?

Even if successful, how long to train new Jinchūriki to match Rōshi and Han? It took them ten years to master their bijuu's power.

Iwagakure would need about fifteen years to regain such strength.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice. Facing that monster, the Hachibi had to sever its tail to escape."

Bee weakly explained, "The tail is the bijuu's strongest defense. Even other bijuu's Tailed Beast Bombs can't break it. But the monster Konoha's Lightning Fang became had such power that it cut through the Yonbi and Gobi, killing Rōshi and Han."

Hearing Bee's explanation and seeing his injuries, Kitsuchi knew Kumogakure wasn't deceiving them. Kumogakure still needed Iwagakure's strength.

But the loss was too great. Hundreds of ninja deaths were nothing compared to losing two Jinchūriki.

"I'll report this to Lord Tsuchikage!"

Kitsuchi said after a long silence, "The decision rests with Lord Tsuchikage."

With that, Kitsuchi left the tent with his subordinates. Dodai wanted to explain but was stopped by A.

"Explanation is pointless. Bee doesn't lie. We didn't foresee the Lightning Fang's power."

"Whether Iwagakure accepts it depends on the Third Tsuchikage's decision."

====

Within three days, Homura brought a team of ninja reinforcements to the frontline camp.

Upon arrival, Homura learned that Tsunade had also come to the frontlines and had healed most of the wounded with her Slug Technique.

Homura breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tsunade, "Since you're here, you might as well stay. The village needs your strength now. However, since you're here, I'll have the medical team I brought go to the camp in the Land of Grass."

Just Tsunade alone was worth three medical squads, so there was no need for the medical team he brought.

"Tsunade, now is not the time for nonsense!"

Seeing Tsunade turn her head without responding, Homura spoke again, this time more sternly.

Tsunade frowned unhappily upon hearing this, but before she could retort, Yoichi spoke up first.

"Don't worry, Elder Homura. No one doubts Tsunade-sama's resolve to protect the village. She rushed here from the Land of Tea as soon as she heard about the war. Her actions have already proven everything."

Yoichi's words both countered Homura and pleased Tsunade, who felt understood. If she were being frivolous, she would have hidden away instead of coming to the battlefield to treat patients despite her hemophobia.

Tsunade then gave Homura a cold snort and said no more.

At this moment, Sakumo spoke up, "Elder Homura, what does the village plan to do?"

Although they had brought reinforcements, they were still at a disadvantage against the forces of the Hidden Cloud. However, with Yoichi here, a counterattack might be possible!

"The village has no specific plan. The command of the frontline is still up to you, Sakumo-kun."

Homura asked upon seeing Sakumo's expression, "How are your injuries?"

Hatake Sakumo replied, "Much better, thanks to Tsunade's medical ninjutsu. I should be fully recovered in five or six days."

This was the effect of a top-tier medical ninja. Normally, a penetrating shoulder wound that damaged the bone would take at least two months to heal. But Tsunade's medical ninjutsu shortened this recovery time tenfold, allowing Sakumo to recover in just five or six days.

"Orochimaru, Yoichi-kun, do you have any ideas?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I don't have any specific thoughts. Let's see what Yoichi-kun plans to do." Since he had given up on becoming Hokage, Orochimaru had no intention of taking the spotlight. He could fill in the gaps, but he wouldn't take the lead.

"The camp we previously left behind should be too small to accommodate the Hidden Cloud. And although the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud have allied, it has only been for two months."

Yoichi rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "The Hidden Stone wouldn't mix with the Hidden Cloud. I'll find a chance to sneak in and only kill the Hidden Stone ninjas. This might be enough to break their alliance."

"No, that's too dangerous!"

Tsunade immediately objected upon hearing this, "How can you just go into the enemy camp? Even if you succeed, it will be hard to get out. That's a death mission."

Orochimaru chuckled at Tsunade and said, "If it's Yoichi-kun, it might be possible. But he needs to recover first and confirm the positions of the Hidden Stone. I can have the Hyuga and Yamanaka clans' ninjas get close."

Seeing that Orochimaru also agreed, Tsunade glared at him, "Orochimaru!"

"Tsunade, don't be hasty. I say this because I've seen Yoichi-kun's strength. He can do it. If Yoichi-kun succeeds in his sneak attack, he might scatter the Hidden Cloud. But to break the alliance between the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud, it's best not to kill any Hidden Cloud ninjas."

Orochimaru smiled as he spoke.

If Yoichi turned into a rampaging Godzilla, it might drive the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud closer together, possibly forming a tighter alliance for the next decade, continuously opposing Konoha.

Unless they had the power to wipe out both villages in one go, it was best to focus on splitting the two villages apart first.

Seeing Tsunade looking at him, Yoichi nodded and said, "I have a trump card. I can protect myself. The hard part is finding the exact locations of the Hidden Stone ninjas."

Tsunade now had over 85 points of affection for him. Although she constantly called him a brat, if something happened to Yoichi, she would be deeply affected, and her hemophobia would worsen.

To break through 90 points, he needed to fulfill his promise to Tsunade. After that, there would be no problem!

"I can use summoning snakes to send the Hyuga and Yamanaka clan ninjas in. If you want, Yoichi-kun."

"I'll pass. Have them confirm the locations first and summon me near the camp."

Yoichi shook his head. He guessed Orochimaru's method: having the snake swallow them and then crawl underground to release them.

The Hidden Cloud, lacking strong reconnaissance abilities like the Byakugan, would have a hard time detecting this method.

"Hmm, I might have another stealth method that could be smoother. But I need to ask first."

Yoichi said. Hearing Orochimaru mention summoning snakes, he thought of the stealth techniques of the three snake princesses in Ryūchi Cave, especially Ichikishimahime, whose invisibility could even hide her presence.

If not for the Sharingan seeing chakra, any chakra-bearing creature couldn't escape its sight, making it hard for him to detect Ichikishimahime.

And the Hidden Cloud had no Dōjutsu like the Sharingan. If Ichikishimahime could help him, killing those Hidden Stone ninjas would be even easier.

After discussing the details, Uchiha Yoichi decided to start the infiltration the next night. Orochimaru chose a strong ninja from the Yamanaka clan and one from the Hyuga clan.

These two ninjas needed to be strong, with long-range vision and mind transfer techniques. The previous messenger, Yamanaka Inojin, was strong but killed by the Hidden Cloud during the retreat.

Homura had no objections. He found this plan feasible and didn't require too many ninjas. Success would bring benefits, and failure wouldn't be too costly.

After leaving the meeting tent, Tsunade followed Yoichi back to her resting tent and suddenly asked, "Brat, are you making me win a bet?"

"You too, Tsunade-sama."

Yoichi tilted his head and smiled, "Don't play too much and forget what a ninja should do. When I become Hokage, you'll be my assistant, working from dawn till dusk!"

"Hmph, big talk, brat!"

Tsunade snorted coldly and entered the tent, but Yoichi's words made her feel a bit more at ease.

That night, Yoichi went outside the camp and used the summoning technique.

With a puff of smoke, a white-dressed girl charged at Yoichi, looking like she had a big grudge.

But Yoichi wrapped himself in lightning and said to Ichikishimahime, "If you want revenge, wait a bit. I have something important to ask you!"

Ichikishimahime, taken aback by Yoichi's sudden serious expression, floated in the air with her arms crossed and asked, "What is it?"

"I need your invisibility ability. Can you lend it to me or help me sneak in?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's request, Ichikishimahime angrily put her hands on her hips, "Human wars have nothing to do with me. I refuse!"

She almost got tricked by this human. What's so important about this!

"Just consider it a favor. I'll owe you one. You can ask for anything."

"Really?"

"Except eating me, and I won't send others for you to eat either!"

"Then what use are you!?"

"Then I'll ask the other two snake princesses. They seem easier to talk to."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to summon Shinya and have it reverse summon him to Ryūchi Cave.

But upon hearing this, Ichikishimahime quickly floated in front of him and said, "What use are they? I'm the best at invisibility. Fine, you owe me one. I'll help you this time."

"But you won't master it in a day. Call me out when you need help again."

"Then I'll call you tomorrow."

With that, Yoichi ended the summoning technique. Ichikishimahime tried to say something but was sent back.

...

The next day.

Orochimaru had found the ninjas, the strongest from the Hyuga and Yamanaka clans in the camp. After explaining the mission, they prepared for the night.

Ninjas wouldn't sleep too deeply, ready to fight at the slightest movement.

But night was better than day, providing some chance of a sneak attack, unlike the day when there was no chance at all.

Near dusk, Orochimaru, Yoichi, Yamanaka Kenji, and Hyuga Shinichi traveled for hours to the vicinity of their previous camp.

Earlier, they had used the Byakugan to avoid a Hidden Cloud patrol team. Going further would mean more patrols.

Uchiha Yoichi stopped and said, "It's up to you now, Orochimaru-senpai. I have a following method."

He then used the summoning technique to summon Ichikishimahime.

"You... Orochimaru?"

Ichikishimahime, seeing Orochimaru and Yoichi's gesture for silence, coldly snorted and didn't make a fuss.

Orochimaru didn't expect Yoichi to summon a Ryūchi Cave snake princess. But it made sense; Ichikishimahime had the best invisibility skills among the three snake princesses. Orochimaru had passed the second test by fulfilling her request.

Orochimaru then summoned two special snakes and said to Kenji and Shinichi, "Endure this."

The snakes swallowed the two ninjas, then shrunk to three feet long and burrowed underground.

"Let's follow them."

Yoichi said to Ichikishimahime. He wondered how she would help him with invisibility.

"Stay within my Sage Chakra."

Ichikishimahime floated onto Yoichi's back like a backpack, releasing Sage Chakra to make them invisible.

Even in Sage Mode, Orochimaru couldn't sense them.

"Not even Sage Mode can detect them. Yoichi-kun, you're perfectly invisible."

After Orochimaru spoke, it remained silent.

"Already gone?"

Wrapped in Ichikishimahime's Sage Chakra, Yoichi felt nothing unusual, though her presence on his back was odd.

The snake princess had no human propriety, hugging tightly, and Yoichi could clearly feel her.

Ichikishimahime occasionally flicked her snake tongue at his neck, making Yoichi grip her sock-covered foot in warning before continuing.

When they got close to the camp, the snakes found a hidden spot just patrolled and released Kenji and Shinichi.

Covered in mucus, they knew the method was effective, but Yoichi preferred not to use it.

Hyuga Shinichi activated his Byakugan, and Yamanaka Kenji used a clan secret technique to link their minds, sharing Shinichi's vision with Yoichi.

Shinichi's Byakugan could see two kilometers, covering most of the camp. If they didn't find the Hidden Stone ninjas here, they'd search around the camp.

Luckily, after a while, Shinichi located the Hidden Stone. At the same time, Yoichi knew their location.

With the location set, he moved into the camp.

Invisible, scentless, and undetectable, Ichikishimahime's ability made Uchiha Yoichi a ghost.

Avoiding the Hidden Cloud, Yoichi approached the Hidden Stone tents.

About sixty ninjas, no more than three per tent. Killing one would alert the others, but none were his match up close. Once alarmed, they'd just be targets.

Planning his approach, Uchiha Yoichi entered a tent.

"Who?"

Lightning Blade severed a throat instantly.

"Enemy!"

Seeing their comrade fall, the other two shouted and tried to form seals.

Too slow!
