Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Soon, Reiki's team finished providing emergency treatment to the injured ninjas of Sunagakure. Given the chaotic situation, there was no time for thorough healing or preparing for another battle. They prioritized saving lives over anything else.

Despite their best efforts, most of the Suna ninjas were gravely injured, leaving them in no condition to fight. Reiki opted to stabilize their conditions with emergency measures instead of full recovery treatments.

After all, this was still near Sunagakure, and even though Rasa might not wish to continue the conflict, the situation practically forced his hand.

"Why don't we head directly into Sunagakure and take the fight to them?"

Akimichi Tingzao rubbed his belly, his fighting spirit evident.

"There's no need. They're coming," Kushina stated, standing up and transforming into her tailed-beast form in an instant. Her movements blurred as she disappeared from sight.

"The jinchūriki on their side is making a move?!" Jiraiya exclaimed, but before he could finish his thought, he noticed a flash of white light.

Hatake Sakumo, who had hesitated in previous battles, dashed forward with unparalleled resolve, chasing after Kushina.

"Quick!"

"When did Hatake Sakumo get so proactive?" someone quipped.

"Hahaha, fight!" others cheered as the combat ninjas surged forward.

Reiki and his medical team remained behind, continuing to treat the injured Suna ninjas.

"Reiki, I'm heading out too," Tsunade said, leaping away with powerful strides. By leaving a slug behind, she ensured that simpler injuries could be tended to while the medical team focused on the critical cases.

Her departure left some of the medical ninjas conflicted. If they were treating Konoha's wounded, they'd have no reservations. But helping Sunagakure's ninjas? Many felt their chakra could be better used to support their own fighters.

Reiki noticed their unease and addressed them calmly. "Don't worry. There will be a battle soon."

"Someone's coming," he added.

Nanhe, a perceptive ninja with sensory skills, looked puzzled. "Someone's coming? I don't sense anything."

Reiki smiled knowingly. "They're not from Sunagakure. Stay focused and keep pretending to treat the wounded. When our visitors arrive, we'll give them a proper welcome."

Realizing his intent, the medical ninjas nodded, extending their sensory range while maintaining the façade of administering treatment.

Not far away, a group of enemy ninjas whispered among themselves.

"Tsunade has left the medical team. Let's move now and capture Konoha's medical ninjas. They're crucial leverage for the battle on Lord Tsuchikage's side."

"When do we strike?"

"Konoha's medical ninjas may be skilled, but they're no match without combat support."

"Let's act quickly and overwhelm them before their fighters can react!"

Meanwhile, another group of Iwagakure ninjas, led by Onoki, joined the battlefield.

"Onoki?"

"Does Iwagakure intend to meddle in Konoha and Sunagakure's affairs?" Uchiha Madara questioned coldly. Having just dispatched a Suna ninja, he leaped onto a nearby boulder to face the advancing Iwagakure team.

"Uchiha Madara!" Onoki declared. "This time, I won't cower before you. Your actions have disrupted the balance of the ninja world, and as one of the Five Great Villages, Iwagakure cannot stand by idly."

Before Onoki could finish, Madara unleashed a massive fire jutsu.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

The sky filled with roaring flames, forcing Onoki to counter immediately.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

The two jutsu collided, dispelling the flames.

"Uchiha Madara, you won't intimidate me this time!" Onoki yelled confidently.

But before he could revel in his small victory, a sudden, invisible force struck him, sending him hurtling back.

"Lord Tsuchikage!" the Iwagakure ninjas shouted, only to face the same invisible attack. Within moments, more than 40 of them were incapacitated.

Madara approached slowly, his aura of dominance radiating outward.

"This is the strength of Iwagakure?" he scoffed. "After all these years, you've made no progress."

The disdain in Madara's voice stung Onoki, who was powerless to respond. Memories of their past encounter flooded his mind, and the weight of his inferiority was undeniable.

"Weak," Madara muttered before delivering a devastating punch.

"Earth Release: Rock Armor!" Onoki tried to defend himself, but Madara's blow shattered the armor and knocked him unconscious.

Madara glanced at the fallen Tsuchikage, disappointment evident on his face.

"So this is what you've been doing all these years, Onoki? Pathetic."

With that, Madara turned his attention to the remaining Iwagakure forces, which included the jinchūriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.

The battlefield erupted once more, the clash between the might of Iwagakure and the overwhelming power of Uchiha Madara reshaping the sands of Sunagakure.
