Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

"Gentlemen, let me stabilize your injuries first. Someone, get them onto the wagon."

"Thank you, young Shimizu."

Teshima Jiro said gratefully.

As a Jonin, he held a high position in the Suna camp and knew that Shimizu was Chiyo's disciple.

It was normal for Chiyo's disciple to know a little medical ninjutsu.

Shimizu temporarily removed the blood-soaked bandages, applied medical alcohol to disinfect the wounds, and stitched up any particularly severe injuries. Finally, he used the Hemostatic Technique, stimulating the body and cells with chakra to aggregate platelets, causing the wounds to scab and accelerate healing.

Shimizu's medical ninjutsu skills only extended this far; he couldn't even revive dead fish like Sakura—that required sensory ability and chakra control refined to a sufficient degree, a certain Yang Release affinity, and familiarity with various aspects of biological work.

After all, that was Tsunade's test for Sakura to become her apprentice. Only by achieving this level would Sakura be qualified to be taught by Tsunade.

However, Shimizu's method was sufficient for emergency treatment on the battlefield. Next, he only needed to bandage the wounds.

Continuing to force medical ninjutsu would instead cause internal cellular tissue to become disordered due to the stimulation.

Upon arriving at the camp, Chiyo immediately began interrogating the Konoha Jonin.

"Last night, reconnaissance ninjas discovered traces of a team led by Konoha's Tsunade. Elder Chiyo and Lord Rasa worked together to scatter Tsunade's team. This person should be a member cooperating with Tsunade's squad."

In the interrogation room, Teshima Jiro said to Shimizu.

"So, we want to learn the mission of Tsunade's team through him?"

Through the glass mirror, Shimizu watched Chiyo in the secret room using incredibly thin chakra threads to manipulate a needle inserted into the brain of this Sarutobi clan Jonin.

This was a memory-probing ninjutsu mastered by Chiyo.

Suna was deeply invested in human body research and possessed a certain foundation in exploring human brain memory. The most famous was the Mind Control Sand Technique. In the original timeline, Sasori used this move to seal Yakushi Kabuto's and Suna Jonin Yura's memories, turning them into his spies.

Chiyo was currently using a secret technique developed by the Second Kazekage, similar to the Mind Control Sand Technique, called Mind Puppet Manipulation, which could bypass seals set up in the enemy's brain to probe memories.

However, these techniques were all very difficult. Currently, only Chiyo in Suna could use them.

The Third Kazekage and Ebizo were slightly lacking in sealing techniques and failed to learn this move.

"Their objective isn't important; what's important is Tsunade's whereabouts."

Kazakami Chiran stood beside Shimizu, explaining.

"Tsunade's medical abilities greatly enhance the sustained combat capability of Konoha ninjas. As long as we eliminate Tsunade, we won't be afraid of a prolonged war with Konoha."

The security level of this secret room was very high. Only a few of them were present.

Kazakami Chiran and Teshima Jiro were Jonin, of sufficient rank. Shimizu was Chiyo's disciple, so he could also enter.

"Bang!"

"Fortunately, Konoha's seals are much weaker than when Mito Uzumaki was around. It should be the seal set up by that old monkey Hiruzen Sarutobi himself. Although the seal was eventually triggered, this old woman has already obtained the information she wanted."

Chiyo found a chair to sit down and continued, "This time, there are quite a few big fish, not just Tsunade, but also Kato Dan and Mokume Kokuto. Eliminating them will definitely severely damage Konoha's strength!"

"Dispatching a team of this level, what exactly does Konoha want to do?"

Teshima Jiro asked curiously.

Chiyo chuckled, "This old woman doesn't know what that idiot Danzo is thinking, sending Tsunade to carry out the destruction of the granary. Orochimaru's abilities are obviously more suitable."

"It seems this involves the factional infighting between Orochimaru and Danzo. At least I think this should be Danzo wanting to suppress Orochimaru's war merits."

Kazakami Chiran also laughed.

Orochimaru's performance in this Shinobi World War was too amazing, even overshadowing the other two Sannin.

Before establishing his reputation in the Sannin battles, he was frequently active in various battlefields. After gaining enough influence in the Konoha camp, he fully demonstrated his excellent strategic command level, anticipating the enemy and displaying resourcefulness.

Everyone believed that the Third Hokage had a successor, and people also believed that this genius who was proficient in all five nature transformations, like the Third Hokage, would take over the Fourth Hokage's banner after the Third Hokage.

However, someone rising meant that someone else's power and interests would be infringed upon. At least Orochimaru's current limelight was even overshadowing the commander-in-chief of Konoha in the Land of Rain—Shimura Danzo.

If Danzo wanted to become Hokage, then Orochimaru was an insurmountable obstacle.

The current Orochimaru was the Third Hokage's proud disciple, naturally a staunch member of the Third Hokage's direct line, and was regarded by everyone as Konoha's Fourth Hokage candidate.

"Alright, this old woman already has a plan in mind. Jiro, is your injury okay?"

After Chiyo pondered for a while, she asked Teshima Jiro.

"It's fine. My injury isn't too serious. Shimizu is indeed worthy of being your disciple. He has already treated my injury, and my basic combat ability hasn't been affected much."

"Hmm..."

Chiyo glanced at Shimizu, then picked up a pen from the table and wrote a letter.

"Rank S mission: send the letter to Roshi and Byakuren in Iwagakure. Tsunade and Kato Dan aren't easy bones to chew on. Chiran, you should also read it and tell Rasa and Karura about the battle plan."

"Yes!" × 2

Kazakami Chiran took the letter and walked out with Teshima Jiro.

At this point, Chiyo finally turned her attention to Shimizu.

"This old woman saw Keizaburo on the way here. The treatment method is good, especially the stitching, which is not inferior to the students in the medical team. It's just that the application of the Hemostatic Technique is still somewhat lacking. You still lack refinement in sensory perception, which limits your performance in medical ninjutsu."

"Hehe, I learned a trick or two from Miss Miyuki back in the village."

Shimizu explained to Chiyo.

In fact, the avatar from the DC world was originally a mad doctor, a proper graduate of Gotham University's medical school. His memory included certain medical knowledge, and there were still many commonalities in wound treatment methods such as bandaging.
