Uchiha Ryun completely ignored the strange looks from the people around him. With a serious and solemn expression, he spoke, "Hokage-sama, I believe the reason you rejected Tsunade-sama’s proposal must be because you are worried about the number of dical-nin and their actual performance in battle, right?"
Hearing this, Tsunade froze for a mont, silently pondering.
That’s right! Why hadn’t she thought of that? After all, not every dical-nin was like her, capable of both charging into battle and healing with expert skill.
Most dical-nin were only proficient in healing and knew nothing about combat.
At this mont, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seated at the head of the room, slowly nodded in agreent with Uchiha Ryun’s point and replied, "Ryun is correct. As you said, the overall combat ability of Konoha’s dical-nin is indeed relatively weak. Rather than sending these non-combat dical-nin to the front lines with squads, it would be better to keep them in the rear, focusing solely on treating injured comrades. This way, we can maximize the safety of our personnel while also allowing dical-nin to fully utilize their expertise."
Uchiha Ryun nodded lightly again before shifting the topic, "However, Hokage-sama, regarding this matter, have you considered the following two possible scenarios..."
"Oh? Please elaborate," Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with interest. He knew very well that Uchiha Ryun was not just intelligent and socially adept. What was most astonishing was his extraordinary tactical thinking.
Although Tsunade and the others had not explicitly inford him about Uchiha Ryun’s command in battle, nothing could stay completely hidden, especially from soone with Hiruzen’s intelligence network. How could such news escape his notice?
However, the reason Hiruzen had remained silent and not exposed the matter was largely because the beneficiary of this incident was his beloved student, Tsunade.
Moreover, since Uchiha Ryun himself had tacitly allowed it, Hiruzen naturally had no reason to interfere.
Now, as he listened to Uchiha Ryun speak, Hiruzen paid full attention, not missing a single word.
Uchiha Ryun’s expression remained calm as he slowly explained, "First, let’s consider the first possible scenario. Severely injured shinobi who are not promptly delivered to dical-nin for treatnt may see their wounds, which could have been healed with Mystical Palm Technique, worsen to the point where amputation becos the only option to save their lives. Even worse, so comrades who could have survived with tily treatnt may end up beyond saving due to delays."
Hiruzen nodded slightly in acknowledgnt, as situations like this were all too common on the brutal battlefield.
Even though he was a seasoned veteran who understood these circumstances well, he often felt powerless against the harsh realities of war.
"Next, let’s discuss the second possibility. If the enemy disregards all boundaries and launches a feigned frontal assault while secretly leading a large force to raid our dical-nin’s base, who would be able to withstand such a devastating attack? Everyone, think about it. If that happens, who would step forward to defend against such a strike?"
A loud boom echoed, as if thunder had cracked the sky, startling everyone present.
The first scenario, while troubleso, was still within expectations. However, the second scenario had never actually occurred before. If it did, the consequences would be unimaginable—all dical-nin would likely perish.
dical-nin were a crucial part of the combat system. They bore the responsibility of treating the wounded and maintaining fighting strength. Without these healers, what tragic fate would await the shinobi fighting on the front lines?
The answer was obvious: even a minor injury could beco fatal without tily treatnt.
In that case, the enemy could simply engage in a prolonged war of attrition. No matter how strong Konoha’s forces were or how skilled their tactics, they would inevitably be driven to defeat!
Hiruzen was stunned. He looked at Uchiha Ryun with a gleam in his eyes. "Ryun, are you saying Tsunade’s proposal can mitigate the risks posed by these two scenarios?"
Uchiha Ryun smiled and nodded. "Exactly. Precisely because dical-nin lack combat ability, they need protection from combat shinobi. Assigning them to squads is the best solution."
"With teammates to protect them, injured squad mbers can receive imdiate treatnt, creating a sustainable cycle that extends the squad’s combat endurance."
"Additionally, if dical-nin are dispersed among squads, there’s no need to worry about enemy raids on dical camps." After saying this, Uchiha Ryun glanced at Tsunade and gave her a playful wink.
Tsunade’s lips curled upward, her heart swelling with joy. Ryun had stood up for her in front of everyone! But his mind was truly sharp—everything he said was clear and hit the mark.
Hiruzen now began carefully considering Uchiha Ryun’s reasoning.
anwhile, a white-haired man in the corner froze, watching Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade exchange smiles. He couldn’t help but regret not speaking up sooner.
This man was the genius shinobi who had mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique—Kato Dan!
Hiruzen turned his gaze to Uchiha Ryun but noticed him sharing a smile with Tsunade. His expression turned slightly odd. "Ryun, are you sure you’re only advocating for this proposal because it’s feasible?"
Were these two kids dating? Tsk, a Senju and an Uchiha? Would Lady Mito even approve? Hiruzen mused to himself.
Uchiha Ryun paused, then nodded firmly. "Yes, I’m certain!"
In the original story, Tsunade’s proposal remained in effect even into the Boruto era, proving its viability.
"Chiyo of Sunagakure is especially skilled in surprise attacks. She might very well target our rear dical camp," Uchiha Ryun added casually.
In fact, Chiyo had done exactly that—likely during the Second War. It was because of this incident that Konoha later adopted Tsunade’s proposal, implenting the rule that every squad must include a dical-nin.
After a mont of contemplation, Hiruzen declared, "Very well. The two scenarios Ryun described, while unprecedented, cannot be ignored."
He then turned to Tsunade. "Tsunade, regarding the dical-nin system, I want to see a complete draft of regulations by tomorrow."
Tsunade grinned. "Understood, Sensei!" She felt reinvigorated—she would definitely finish it tonight! And maybe she could ask Ryun for his input.
Uchiha Ryun smiled faintly. It seed Hiruzen had been convinced and was ready to implent the system.
