His Own Plots

Back at the Konoha camp, Junrei relaxed completely at once. This battle with Hidden Sand Village may be full of deaths for other Chunin, but for him, it was just like adding soy sauce to his rice, he took advantage of the opportunity. (TL: idk what adding soy sauce to rice means LOL)

In the early stage of the battle, most of the Medical-nin of the Medic Team were assigned to several different teams. Only 20 Medical-nin such as him were left on the backline, under the protection of Konoha Army, so there was no much danger at all.

It wasn't until Rasa's Gold Dust Ninjutsu arrived that made him develop some worries. But in all the battles after it, under the protection of Tsuru Uchiha, Junrei was completely safe in the battlefield.

When Sunagakure's Ninja appeared to kill him, he didn't even needed to make a move, since they were directly eliminated by Tsuru and the other Konoha Ninjas accompanying him.

"Little demon, don't forget our agreement." Just before leaving, Tsuru reminded Junrei with an ugly exppresion painted on his face.

"Rest assured, I'm very trustable, maybe we will even have other opportunities for cooperation in the future!" He said.

"Hmph! Don't worry! Rest assured! I'll make sure there's no such opportunity again." Tsuru Uchiha snorted unhappy, then turned and left on his way.

"That's not good!" Junrei whispered while looking at the back of this Uchiha Jonin.

In this time of battle, Junrei was the most proud of taking the opportunity to get establish a cooperation with this Tsuru Uchiha. Although Tsuru has the common problems found on the Uchiha Clan and holds a very arrogant disposition, his strength is still good, and he's still a ninja of the Uchiha Clan. Maybe he will hold value to be exploited in the future.

As Captain of the medical team, he still needs to report to Orochimaru and summarize some of the Medical-nin casualties in this battle.

When he arrived at the Medic Team camp, Junrei glanced around it. The entire camp was full of wounded. Every Medical-nin looked completely busy in their task. Even with the support of Tsunade's Medical-Ninjutsu, many of the wounded couldn't be recovered.

Junrei called his group of Medical-nin together, asking about the casualties, and then briefly said one sentence, "Where can I find Lord Orochimaru?"

After the briefing, he walked into Orochimaru's tent and glanced casually, and saw that the Konoha's Elite Jonin, such as Minato, Shikaku, and others were already gathered here. It seems that after the war, they were studying Konoha and Sunagakure situation.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Mekka Junrei greeted.

"Oh! so it's Junrei! Why did you come back so late?" Minato asked.

"Oh! I followed Captain Tsuru and the Jonin named Ito, and pursued the remaining Sand Ninjas alongside a team." Junrei explained.

"As a Medical-nin, why didn't you come back to treat the wounded after the war?" Minato reproached with a little concern.

Junrei said: "Our mission is to heal the wounded on the battlefield at any time. I followed them to pursue the Sand Tropps, with the intention of treating the wounded in case anything happened."

"Okay!" Orochimaru waved his hand, asking, "Then how about the casualties of the Medic Team?"

"48 people got killed!" Junrei said.

Unfortunately, Junrei's talented Medical-nin called Jiliang died under Rasa's Ninjutsu, leaving him slightly dissapointed since he was already planning to draw him towards his side.

"How many casualties are there in Konoha? How many Ninjas with minor injuries are there and how many need to be returned to the village immediately?" Orochimaru continued.

"Commander is still counting, and it may take some time to figure out the amounts!" Junrei said.

"I heard you have had a dispute with Captain Tsuru Uchiha?" Orochimaru asked in a somber tone.

He knows what Orochimaru actually means. As long as Junrei admits it, Konoha high level will immediately detain Tsuru Uchiha with charges of harming the wounded by making them face Rasa's Jutsu and obstructing their relocation, which at the same time would hurt the Uchiha Clan's prestige.

"Yes! We did had a dispute." Junrei explained: "At that time, I suspected that Rasa seemed to be approaching the Medic Team intentionally, and noticed that the terrain at the time seemed to be ideal for creating a lot of Gold Dust, and so i notified. Captain Tsuru and us were prepared to withdraw, but at that time Captain Tsuru didn't agree for us withdraw immediately. The Captain meant to draw Rasa into a confrontation first, and then let the Medic Team bring the wounded out and withdraw, his objective i pressume was to take the Rasa's head.

"Despiteful! This Tsuru Uchiha really dares!" Minato hearing this was furious on the spot. Rasa's large scale Jutsu killed almost a hundred Konoha Ninja in one instant, most of them being wounded who were not able to escape.

"Actually, this is not to blame on Captain Tsuru." He took a look at Namikaze Minato, and then said, "In fact, when I noticed Rasa's action, it was already too late. Even without Captain Tsuru obstruction, we would not have been able to escape Rasa's Jutsu. "

Upon hearing Junrei's words, Orochimaru's face became slightly ugly.

If this matter were to allow Orochimaru to pressure the Uchiha Clan into surrendering Tsuru Uchiha, he may be able to study the Uchiha Clan's secrets from his body. It's a pity that since Junrei had excused the Uchiha, it all became a fantasy.

Junrei also has his own ideas. This Tsuru Uchiha is a really strong person, and there may be other opportunities for them to cooperate in the future. He must make some small movements in front of Orochimaru's eyes, he can't let him know he's making preparations to one day deal with him using all his strength.

"Well! Let's consider this matter closed then, there's nothing for you here, Go back to the camp first!" Orochimaru then asked a few simple questions and sent him away.

But as for what exactly happened, Junrei was not going to tell them. If Orochimaru were to ask him what he thinks about Sunagakure right now, he really doesn't know how to answer.

After all, the introduction to the Third Shinobi World War in Naruto was only a brief moment, and it barely even described a few important battles, but as for the specific details, they were not mentioned at all. So he can't really judge what plans the Hidden Sand Village may be thinking.

However, judging from the Anime, Hidden Sand Village will later fight with the Hidden Mist Village and the Stone Hidden Village respectively, but the exact time is not yet clear to him.

Back in the Medic Team camp, he was busy again.

After the war, a Medical-nin was on his busiest period of time. A large number of wounded were still in an untreated stage. Although tired, Junrei still had to raise his spirit and join the team to treat the wounded.

Busy until midnight, he finally had a chance to take an small rest.

This sleep continued until noon on the next day, and he barely even got up from the bed.

Fortunately, Junrei until now insists on training every day. His physical strength and endurance are much better than other ninjas of his same age. Although maybe his body was still slightly sore, in general, it was not a big problem at all, and several minor injuries that he had on his body already got healed under treatment of a [Healing Jutsu].

After a brief face wash, Junrei stepped out of the camp and called a Medical-nin over and said, "Sakurada, come here!"

He speculates that at this time, the Chief of the Medic Team should have finished counting the casualties, and so he asked casually: "What happened to the number of Konoha's casualties?"
