Chapter 190 - Targeted

Previously, the Village Hidden in the Sand had paired Pakura's team with a Hinokawa Clansman, which greatly enhanced her abilities and allowed her to repeatedly evade the encirclement of Konoha's main force and Tsunade's pursuit.

This time, to ensure everything went smoothly, the village assigned her three people.

It should be noted that the Village Hidden in the Sand currently only has a little over ten people who possess the Red Eyes at its disposal.

This clearly showed how much importance the Village Hidden in the Sand placed on ensuring Shinichi Higashino's death.

Shinichi Higashino!

Thinking of this name, Pakura's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to more than a year ago.

During the Chunin exams, he was just a newcomer who impressed everyone by defeating Karura in the finals.

At that time, she stood on the sidelines as a referee, watching the boy shatter the Sand Shield with his self-created Ninjutsu, Rasengan, and win the Chunin exam held by the village.

He is now the youngest Special Jonin in Konoha, demonstrating exceptional talent and ability in various fields.

Since the outbreak of the war, this kid has done too much, disrupted too many of the village's plans, and is no less of a threat to the village than Jiraiya and Tsunade, and may even pose a greater threat to them in the future.

Has this kid grown up to this extent in just over a year?

A complex emotion welled up in Pakura's heart. She actually quite admired Shinichi, and it wasn't just admiration; when she first met him, she found him surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but it makes her unconsciously want to take a second look.

At the time, she didn't know why she had that thought.

Even now, she still did not know.

What a pity!

Pakura sighed inwardly, then shook her head, shaking off those distracting thoughts. Her eyes moved quickly across the battlefield, scanning every figure and every possible location.

"Pakura-sama! We've found him!"

At this moment, a member of the Hinokawa Clan named Maru suddenly spoke up.

Following Maru's line of sight, Pakura looked over, and her gaze was instantly fixed.

"Follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pakura's figure turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.

The instant Pakura disappeared, the elite force behind her, which had remained motionless, suddenly moved.

Three hundred people.

Among them were dozens of Jonin and over two hundred Chunin, all of whom were elite.

Their goal was singular: the entire team would charge into Konoha's camp and take Shinichi Higashino's head!

The battle was extremely intense.

In front of Kikyo Pass, shouts of killings, screams of agony, and the clang of metal mingled together. Blood soaked the ground, severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and the smoke from exploding tags and the shockwaves released by various Ninjutsu intertwined and rose.

As a supporting medical and logistics unit, Shinichi did not initially need to directly participate in combat. He was protected at the core of the formation, responsible for receiving the wounded transported from the front.

However, as the war continued, the casualties of Konoha ninjas began to surge. The Medical Ninjas, who were originally stationed in the central area, also began to move forward, quickly shuttling between different parts of the battlefield.

On the battlefield, wounded ninjas are usually divided into two categories. 

Those with minor injuries receive immediate emergency treatment on the spot, stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and simple bandaging, and then get up to continue fighting.

Those with serious injuries and in life-threatening conditions were treated by all means to stabilize their vital signs and quickly transferred to the core area for further treatment after the battle.

Shinichi quickly sprang into action, and ten Shadow Clones spread out from around him, like a net being cast, rapidly traversing various parts of the battlefield.

Ten Shadow Clones, along with the main body, moved rapidly across the battlefield.

Wherever someone fell, his figure would appear.

Hizashi Hyuga followed closely by his side, veins bulging around his eyes, his Byakugan activated to its maximum power, scanning every inch of the surrounding space with a 359-degree field of view.

No suspicious chakra fluctuation or any suddenly approaching figure could escape his notice.

He was very clear about his mission.

Shinichi Higashino must not be allowed to get into trouble.

"Captain Shinichi, he's dying..."

A young Medical Ninja looked up, his face pale. His name was Yoshikage Yoshida. He was kneeling on the ground, his hands covered in green chakra light, desperately trying to keep the wounded man beneath him alive.

Shinichi was treating another wounded person three meters away when he heard this, and he didn't hesitate at all.

"Yoshikage, I'll take over! You take over here!"

He pulled away and crossed the distance in two steps, arriving beside the wounded man.

The wounded man's abdomen was pierced by a sharp weapon, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out. His breath was so weak that it seemed he might die at any moment.

Ordinary Medical Ninjutsu is simply not enough; the bleeding is too rapid, and the wound is too deep. Before conventional methods can take effect, the person will pass away.

Without saying a word, Shinichi looked directly at the figure that had been following him to the side.

"Senior Hizashi, please use acupressure to stop the bleeding."

Hizashi Hyuga raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask further, simply asking quickly, "Which chakra pathway system?"

"Liver, kidney, gallbladder, quick!"

Hizashi Hyuga gathered chakra at his fingertips and struck three pressure points on the wounded ninja's chest and abdomen with lightning speed. With each touch, the ninja's muscles trembled slightly, and the blood flow slowed down noticeably.

This is a pressure point technique from the Hyuga's Gentle Fist style, originally used to block an opponent's chakra, but now it's being used to stop bleeding, and the effect is immediate.

Shinichi's hands suddenly lit up with green chakra light, covering the wound.

"Healing Jutsu."

He nourished the damaged organs with chakra while quickly clearing blood clots and foreign objects from inside the wounds.

The three steps of hemostasis, wound cleaning, and repair are completed simultaneously within a few seconds.

Shinichi withdrew his Healing Jutsu, took out a needle and thread from his medical kit, and began to sew. His movements were fluid and fast, so fast that it was almost impossible to see his fingers moving.

Hizashi Hyuga, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow. The entire treatment process was precise and smooth, as if everything had been calculated in advance. It was too fast and too composed.

"Send him back to the core area."

Shinichi stood up, his tone calm as if nothing had happened. Two support staff immediately stepped forward, carefully lifted the wounded man onto a stretcher, and quickly retreated.

Shinichi didn't linger and quickly walked to the next place where he was needed.

Hizashi Hyuga followed beside him, his Byakugan subconsciously glancing at the wounded man's stitched-up wounds before looking away without saying a word, simply remaining vigilant.

"People from the Village Hidden in the Sand are heading in this direction."

Shinichi, who was tending to a Konoha ninja's wounds, heard Hizashi Hyuga's voice beside him, but continued what he was doing.

Upon hearing this, the young Medical Ninjas around him immediately tensed up and subconsciously looked up.
