"Kage, you seem to be quite idle every day, daydreaming again?"
"Stop daydreaming! Come and help me take care of the wounded!"
"Yes!"
Almost every day going through the same things, Yasuke was gradually getting used to his role as a "medical ninja" in the past ten days.
Those newly withdrawn from the front lines were often astonished at first, wondering when Anbu started moonlighting as medical ninjas.
However, anyone who had gotten familiar with the medical camp knew about the little Anbu. So, in the ten days with the medical team, Yasuke made a good name for himself among the wounded of Konoha. Unfortunately, no one knew that the small Anbu was actually Yasuke Nara, only knowing his codename was "Shadow."
As for Yasuke seeming to daydream every day, please, that wasn't daydreaming!
Using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to train every day in the medical camp, Yasuke had to be very careful to control his clones, making sure the village ninjas didn't discover his secret.
Thus, Yasuke, focusing on controlling his clones, often appeared to be daydreaming to others. The members of the medical team and the wounded from Konoha gradually knew about Yasuke's habit of daydreaming and often teased him about it, making Yasuke feel helpless, as if he was the lazy one in Anbu.
Few people knew how terrifying Yasuke's progress was during his "daydreaming."
The main reason for Yasuke's progress was training in the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques!
Recently, when training with Guy Sensei, Yasuke had mastered some basics of the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques and had proficiently grasped the skill of enhancing speed with wind chakra.
A small "acceleration" ability seemed very ordinary, but it allowed Yasuke to make even Guy Sensei feel challenged when using taijutsu, showing how a small "acceleration" ability could give Yasuke a qualitative leap in strength.
In the past ten days, with a solid foundation, Yasuke focused on training and quickly mastered two more secret techniques of the Fourth Hokage.
The first was the Fourth Hokage's Body Flicker Technique.
The second was the Fourth Hokage's special sensing method.
Speaking first about the Body Flicker Technique.
A long time ago, Yasuke had used the app to complete his training in the Body Flicker Technique and could use it. However, each ninja's Body Flicker Technique had some tricks. The Fourth Hokage's Body Flicker Technique was fearsome, while some ordinary ninjas' Body Flicker Technique was just a flashy move.
Yasuke, using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to train, definitely aimed for the Fourth Hokage's signature Body Flicker Technique.
Moreover, these tricks in using the Body Flicker Technique could only be completed by Yasuke after mastering the first stage of wind chakra nature transformation through his training. Techniques like this couldn't be assisted by the app, so Yasuke spent a long time using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to complete it.
As for the effect of the Fourth Hokage's Body Flicker Technique, when Yasuke truly mastered it, he couldn't help but be amazed!
Not only did it skip the step of making hand signs, but it also enhanced the Body Flicker Technique's effect with wind chakra.
If Yasuke could get on the battlefield, he would really like to try using the Wind Body Flicker Technique and see if he could mimic a bit of the Fourth Hokage's prowess with the Rasengan.
The Fourth Hokage's special sensing method also required the use of wind chakra.
Simply put, it involved controlling wind chakra that had undergone nature transformation to envelop the whole body. When fighting an enemy, this allowed sensing the changes in chakra around them to predict the enemy's next move, which was the essence of the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques.
Since Yasuke hadn't perfected the wind chakra nature transformation, both the Body Flicker Technique and the special sensing method were only partially mastered.
But even just these basics were enough for Yasuke to have an upper hand against most ninjas, showing that the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques, besides Rasengan and Flying Thunder God Technique, were also formidable. Unfortunately, the Fourth Hokage in the original story died too early, missing the chance to show these to the fans.
"Sigh!"
"Mastering so many secret techniques, but not having a chance to get on the battlefield, Uncle Nara, you've really done me in!"
"I used to think having you as my commander would give me some benefits!"
"Turns out these benefits are just hiding in the medical unit, Uncle Nara, I almost hate you!"
Following a few medical ninjas to pick up new wounded, Yasuke, who was making progress in his training, was frustrated by not having a place to show his skills and couldn't help but complain about Uncle Nara, his dear but stubborn uncle.
But just as Yasuke was complaining about Uncle Nara's arrangement, which didn't give him any chance to show his strength, he suddenly noticed something with his peripheral vision and his pupils slightly contracted!
"Wait! Is that the shadow of a kunai?"
"Not good, there's an explosive tag attached to it!"
Suddenly realizing the danger, Yasuke instinctively shouted:
"Watch out, we're under attack!"
"Shadow Hand!"
"Whoosh!"
Skillfully using chakra, he immediately formed a Shadow Hand.
Obviously, despite the time spent in the medical unit, Yasuke never forgot his Anbu identity, nor his duty to protect the medical unit!
Especially with daily training using the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Yasuke was always in a good state.
So, as the kunai with the explosive tag flew straight at them, Yasuke's Shadow Hand caught the kunai in a flash and threw it back into the woods ahead, where it burst into flames.
Unfortunately, the enemy ninja had come prepared, and although Yasuke could save the few medical ninjas and wounded in front of him, he couldn't save the entire medical camp or the injured Konoha ninjas inside!
In just a few seconds, flames burst out all over the camp.
No one knew how many enemies had invaded, nor how many comrades had perished in the sudden attack. Yasuke deeply understood the cruelty of war in that instant. Those who were chatting happily with you moments ago could be dead within minutes.
Of course, the tactical quality of Konoha's medical unit was exceptional.
Especially since they were honed during the Third War, far beyond what people in peacetime could imagine.
In just over ten minutes, thanks to the efforts of many ninjas, the Konoha medical unit managed to defeat the attacking ninjas. The only pity was that the quality of those attackers exceeded Konoha's expectations, and not a single one was killed or captured by Konoha ninjas.
The shadow of war immediately enveloped the medical camp, and even Yasuke spent the night on alert, unable to rest well.
What was more frightening, however, was that news didn't reach little Anbu Yasuke that night.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the medical unit leader called Yasuke over to discuss their plight, that he realized just how desperate their situation was!
"Shadow, the enemy ninjas are likely trying to cut off our contact with the main force."
"Now we are probably fighting alone in the enemy's encirclement!"
