Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Life is not a novel, and the old man is not some mindless villain; he was only fighting with Chiba for profit.

Now that he had witnessed Chiba's potential, he smiled bitterly and joined the other medical ninjas in praising Chiba.

"I was mistaken before. You truly possess skills beyond your years. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority. Talented people emerge in every generation, and one can't deny getting old..."

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo, who was standing to the side, noticed the old man's embarrassment and took the initiative to speak.

"Alright, everyone except Chiba, go out first. And call the guys at the door in to take control of these two."

"Yes!"

Along with the other medical ninjas, the old man left the ward in a daze.

"Chiba, you've really done a great job this time!"

After everyone left, Shuo Mao looked at the two people lying in the center of the formation, and a rare look of joy appeared on his face.

Chapter 11 My Friend's Younger Sister, Tsunade

"These two are Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law from Sunagakure."

In the hospital room, Sakumo explained to Chiba, "The Third Kazekage has only recently taken office, and Chiyo holds all the power in Sunagakure. Now that these two are being held hostage, Sunagakure will definitely be hesitant to act!"

"I see."

Chiba nodded; what Sakumo said was pretty much what he had guessed.

What is war for? For profit!

Why would Sakumo Hatake go to such lengths to save two enemies? It must be because their "living" could bring greater benefits to Konoha, whether it's forcing Sunagakure to cede territory and pay reparations, or forcing them to surrender.

"You don't need to go to other war zones to carry out medical treatment missions anymore. I'll send someone to take you back to your previous war zone. You can stay there and wait for orders," Shuo Mao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Sakumo!" Chiba's eyes lit up as she expressed her gratitude.

The area where he was previously located, which was Orochimaru's war zone, was at the rear of the battlefield. The enemy had been almost completely wiped out. Leaving him there to wait for orders was just a way to let him lie low openly!

"Lord Sakumo, is our war with Sunagakure about to end soon?" Chiba asked.

“No.” Sakumo shook his head, his tone cold and sharp: “Not enough people have died in Sunagakure yet. We have to wait a little longer.”

……

A month later.

Inside a separate tent in the war zone under Orochimaru's command.

"Sigh, I wonder when Nohara-gumi will be back."

Chiba lay sprawled on the bed belonging to Nawaki, twirling a scalpel in his hand, watching Nawaki slowly move around the tent with his cane, looking bored.

Since returning, no wounded soldiers have been treated for him, so taking care of Rope Tree has become his exclusive task.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Thousand Hands bloodline, he was almost burned to a crisp before, but he can move on his own so quickly."

"I was just saying, when Dazhuzi tried to commit suicide with a kunai, Madara actually believed it. Beauty really can be bewitching!" Chiba thought to himself, bored.

"Hey, Chiba, what are you daydreaming about again?"

Rope Tree leaned against the bed, panting, and casually tossed his cane to the ground. He said with a grin, "Once I'm better, I'll teach you how to fight and train."

"Damn it." Chiba shook his head without even thinking and refused, "Why would a medical ninja like me learn all that nonsense?"

"Learn it for self-defense." Rope Tree curled his lip and said, "When I'm in good health, I can take on twenty greyhounds like you."

"Heh." Chiba sneered, not to be outdone, "If you weren't a patient, I would have pinned you to the ground and rubbed you back and forth right now."

"Chiba!"

"The Rope Tree!"

Both of them are lively and have a life-saving connection to each other. They've been together for so long and have become quite familiar with each other. Bickering like today is a common occurrence for them.

"Orochimaru, you get out here right now!"

Just as the two were playing around, a loud and clear shout echoed throughout the entire camp.

"...It's my older sister's voice."

After exchanging a glance, Nawaki exclaimed with delight, "Quick, quick, Chiba, carry me out!"

Chiba rolled her eyes: "Why don't you go out with your crutches? Are you helpless?"

"I'm tired!" Rope Tree said matter-of-factly. "Is this how you take care of me? Believe me or not, I'll tell my older sister later and she'll punch you to death!"

"You guy!"

Chiba was speechless for a moment. He sat up from the bed in a huff, picked up Rope in a princess carry, and rushed out of the tent.

Nawaki was completely bewildered: "Chiba, what are you doing?!"

Chiba didn't say anything; he wouldn't do it. He just wanted to mess with Nawaki's mentality.

Bang!

As soon as the two stepped out of the tent, a muffled thud was heard, followed by a figure flying past them and crashing heavily into the nearby woods.

Rope tree: Σ(OдO|||)ノノ

Chiba: (*?ロ?)!!

"That flying past just now, it looked like Lord Orochimaru?" Chiba asked uncertainly.

"Holy crap, it really looks like the teacher!" Rope Tree nodded repeatedly as he looked at the familiar figure pasted on the tree.

pat, pat.

When Chiba turned around again, a beautiful figure had already walked up to him, looking down at him and scrutinizing him.

"Gudu."

This is a blonde woman in her early twenties with delicate features, a beautiful figure, and an irresistible air of a wealthy heiress.

Without a doubt, she is the older sister that Nawaki mentioned—Tsunade!

(My Friend's Younger Sister)

"You must be Chiba?"

Tsunade glanced at her younger brother lying in Chiba's arms, narrowed her eyes, and shifted her gaze to Chiba's face.

"Yes, yes, Lady Tsunade."

Chiba looked slightly nervous. Orochimaru had just flown past him almost right next to his face, and Tsunade's pressure was truly overwhelming.

"Don't be nervous, Chiba, my older sister is a very nice person," Nawaki said with a smile.

Tsunade frowned and scolded, "Stop grinning like that, Nawaki. I'll talk to you about your problem later!"

"Oh……"

Rope Tree obediently shut his mouth. He had a premonition that once he recovered, he would probably get hurt again.

Tsunade withdrew her scrutinizing gaze from Chiba and said in a deep voice, "I've heard about what happened to you. Thank you for saving my brother. Consider it a favor I owe you."

“Okay, I’ll contact you if I need anything.” Chiba agreed without hesitation.

Sometimes being too polite can only make people dislike you. If someone offers you something, accepting it can actually bring you closer to them.

"Hmm, you're not bad, you're to my liking."

As expected, Tsunade smiled with satisfaction after hearing that Chiba had accepted her favor.

"Hmm, as long as you think I can get to your stomach, that's fine..." Chiba thought to himself.

"Alright, tell me about Nawaki's current physical condition."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

……

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has ended, which is why Tsunade was able to escape from the front lines.

Sakumo's several surprise attacks completely shattered Sunagakure's morale. Coupled with the fact that he held hostages, Sunagakure was forced to submit to Konoha.

The war between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire came to an end, with the Land of Fire emerging slightly victorious.

Inside a meeting room in Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village).

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, sat on the stage, calmly smoking his pipe and quietly waiting for all the attendees to arrive.

Although the war between Konoha and Sunagakure has ended, the confrontation with the Iwagakure army continues, which is why Hiruzen Sarutobi convened this strategic meeting.

Those who were able to attend the meeting were the backbone of Konoha, such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and others, who were jokingly referred to as the "Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha" by Hanzo of the Salamander.

Therefore, when a young face appeared in the conference room, many people showed surprise.

"Chiba-kun, it's nice to see you again." Orochimaru greeted the newcomer with a smile.

"Chiba, you're here too, kid." Tsunade said casually.

"Chiba." Even the usually aloof Sakumo nodded slightly in greeting to the newcomer.

Now, the unsuspecting crowd was even more surprised, and a thought arose in their minds simultaneously.

"Who's this kid? Why is he making such a big fuss?"

That's right, because of his outstanding contributions in the war against Sunagakure (saving Sasori's parents), Chiba was also invited to participate in this strategic meeting.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lady Tsunade, Lord Sakumo."

After returning the greetings, Chiba found a secluded corner to sit down. He was just there to make up the numbers, and he knew that much.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin." At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up from the stage.

Before Hiruzen could finish speaking, Tsunade stood up abruptly and shouted, "I have something to say!"

"This war has exposed many problems. I think it is necessary to reform Konoha's current medical ninja system to ensure that each squad is equipped with a combat-ready medical ninja!"

"Tsunade, we've already discussed this issue before."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "We're currently at war with Iwagakure, where do we find the time and energy to make changes?"

"What did you say, you old geezer?"

Tsunade's eyes widened, and she slammed her hand on the table, angrily saying, "If we don't implement reforms soon, it will only lead to more deaths!"
