The tent that was arranged for Kaede was in the rear area of the camp.
"That boy is … Hatake Kaede, right? Is he already a Jonin? "
A ninja noticed that Kaede was living in a small tent and was slightly surprised.
This was the frontline battlefield of the Land of Wind, and there were a lot of ninjas here. It was completely different from the camp in the Land of Grass. Even a Chunin wasn't qualified to live in a small tent.
Kaede was a very famous genius in Konoha, and many people still had an impression of him, but they remembered that he passed the Chunin Exam not long ago. How could he become a Jonin so quickly? If he wasn't a Jonin, he shouldn't be qualified to live in such a small tent.
"It shouldn't be possible."
The ninja next to him was also surprised and said: "Maybe he's a special Jonin …"
This explanation was barely acceptable.
Although a Jonin and a Special Jonin were both Jonin, and enjoyed almost the same treatment, they were completely different in comparison. A Jonin had no flaws in any aspect, and they had a certain degree of leadership ability, and they could lead and command a large number of ninjas.
In comparison, a Special Jonin was generally a Chunin with special abilities, such as perception, interrogation, and so on.
Kaede was a genius, and he might have unique abilities such as deciphering secret codes, spying, and so on, so it was normal for him to be promoted to a Special Jonin in a short time of war.
"Well."
The ninja who spoke first also nodded.
He was only a Chunin, and if Kaede was a Jonin, it would mean that Kaede was his superior, and he might become the captain of his next operation, and he would have to obey Kaede's orders.
Of course, it was difficult for him to accept such a thing. After all, such a young captain would be difficult for anyone to trust, and there would be great doubts about his judgment. However, if it was a Special Jonin, it had nothing to do with him.
Even if they fought together, they would definitely be in different departments, and they would only cooperate with each other without interfering.
…
Inside the tent.
Kaede cleaned up and rested for a while. He didn't wake up until it was almost evening. After rubbing his eyes, he walked out of the tent to get some water.
There were temporarily dug wells in the campsite, and they were located in several areas. Kaede had already seen a rough map of the campsite's layout, and he had a rough idea of what to do. He walked towards the nearest well.
"Eh, Kaede?!"
Just as Kaede was about to get some water, a surprised voice called out.
Kaede was also somewhat familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember who it was. When he turned to look, he was slightly surprised: "It's Shizuo, why are you here?"
Shizuo should have gone to train with Tsunade, and now that Shizuo appeared in this campsite, Tsunade was probably here as well, which surprised Kaede a little.
"I'm here with Tsunade-sama, and I'm here to practice my medical skills."
Shizuo jogged over with a water bottle.
Kaede fetched a bucket of water, filled his own water bottle, and filled Shizuo's water bottle as well. He then turned to Shizuo and asked: "Tsunade-sama is here as well? Isn't her condition … "
"Although she can't fight, she can still give pointers to medical ninjas. It's just that she can't directly touch blood, so she can only give pointers based on symptoms —"
Shizuo suddenly paused and asked with some surprise: "How do you know about Tsunade-sama's condition?"
Although it wasn't a secret that Tsunade was suffering from Hemophobia, very few people knew about it. Only Shizuo, her closest disciple, and a few elite Jonin knew about it. Normally, Kaede shouldn't know about it.
Kaede said: "My father once mentioned about Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade's Hemophobia was something that happened at the end of World War II. White Fang must know about it, and Orochimaru was the same. He could blame anyone, but White Fang was the most suitable.
Shizuo heard some things about White Fang from Tsunade because of Kaede. Hearing Kaede's answer, she showed a look of realization and sighed:
"Tsunade-sama's condition is still very worrying. She can't treat some seriously injured patients by herself. Otherwise, with Tsunade-sama's medical skills, she would be able to cure them faster."
Kaede handed the full water bottle to Shizuo, thought for a moment, and said: "Where is Tsunade-sama now? I want to pay her a visit. "
Hemophobia, to put it bluntly, is a kind of psychological disease.
In his previous life, he mainly focused on psychological treatment, and he also learned things like hypnotherapy. This is essentially a kind of psychological guidance, which is a completely different concept from the Genjutsu of this world.
He had treated Kakashi before, and it was very effective.
Tsunade can also give it a try.
Shizuo looked at Kaede with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Tsunade-sama is resting in the tent. I'm helping her fetch water. Just follow me."
"Wait a moment."
Kaede took the water bottle and disappeared with a whoosh. About a few seconds later, he returned to Shizuo's side and put the water bottle in his hand back into his tent.
After following Shizuo through a large number of tents, they soon arrived in front of a relatively large tent.
Shizuo walked into the tent with the water bottle and said:
"Tsunade-sama, the water is here."
"Put it over there."
Tsunade said tiredly.
Because of Hemophobia, she was greatly limited in terms of treatment. Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of energy for her to easily cure some patients.
The reason why she came to this battlefield was because Sarutobi Sarutobi had sent people to look for her many times, and she couldn't refuse them. On the other hand, she wanted to teach Shizuo's medical skills.
It was difficult to achieve something like medical skills without practice. A battlefield was the best place to practice medical ninjas' medical skills. There was no need to specifically look for patients. Every day, there was an endless stream of injured people, so Shizuo's medical skills could also improve quickly.
"By the way, Tsunade-sama, Kaede wants to visit you …"
"Kaede? That kid? Isn't he with Orochimaru? "
Tsunade tilted her head. She didn't know why Kaede wanted to visit her, but she also wanted to see the young genius Kaede, so she put on her clothes and said:
"Come in."
"Greetings, Tsunade-sama."
Kaede walked into the tent, smiled at Tsunade, and said politely: "I met Tsunade-sama once before, but I didn't have time to greet you. I heard that you are here, so I came over. Orochimaru-Sensei often mentioned your medical skills and praised them."
Tsunade looked at Kaede up and down.
Oh.
His attitude is not bad.
"No need to be so polite … You are the disciple of Orochimaru, and also the son of Mr. Shuomo. I have some responsibility for what happened to Mr. Shuomo, if I was in the village at that time …"
Tsunade's tone was a little apologetic.
Hatake Shuomo was older than the Sanin, and he became famous before them. Whether it was Orochimaru or she, they had performed tasks together with Hatake Shuomo and received some care.
When Hatake Shuomo's incident happened, she was gambling in a small town in the Land of Fire. After learning about it, it was too late.
"My father's character is too unyielding, even if Tsunade-sama were in the village, you may not be able to save anything."
Kaede shook his head and said: "By the way, Tsunade-sama, I heard that your condition doesn't seem to be very good … When my father died, Kakashi's condition was also very bad. When I comforted him, I sorted out some methods to calm him down …"
Tsunade was slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "You want to treat me?"
