Chapter 49 - 49 (2/2)

After a brief self-introduction, Yamanaka Ryo started assessing the levels of his team members. There were 92 who could use ”Healing” for detoxification, and amongst them, only 12 were able to use the healing palm technique.

These 12 individuals are all veteran Ninjas in Konoha's hospital, and Ryo was really familiar with them.

Those in the team that Ryo has never met before were actually fighting ninja sent in by the village to protect the medical Ninja alongside them.

Among the stronger ones amongst them, there was a Jonin from the Hyuga clan, Ming Hyuga. There was also Ryo old acquaintance, Uchiha Maan, who is now a special Jonin. Also among the stronger ones there were 2 Ino-Shika-Cho teams who were Chunins .

Ming and Maan shouldn't pose any problems for Ryo when working with him. The two teams from his alliance should be easy to deal with as well.

The rest of the fighters also have skills that are beneficial. Some are good with seals, some are good with Genjutsu, and others are good with traps.

Ryo finished counting them. There were 126 medical ninjas including him, and 25 fighting ninjas. So he went on and divided the team into 5 groups based on the member's medical Ninjutsu.

A group made up of the 33 who cannot use healing to do detoxification, will be responsible for the treatment of minor injuries.

Ryo will work solo, interfering whenever there is a problem that they cannot solve.

After that, Ryo let everybody disperse, and sat down right there recalling the Wind Release Jutsus demonstrated to him by Orochimaru.

He sat down there until the afternoon, when Kushina and Minato arrived.

”Ryo so you're here! We've been looking for you, and Jiraya Sensei told us to wait for him in the 3rd training ground.” Said Kushina.

”Ryo, I heard you've become a Chunin?” Minato asked.

Ryo nodded, as being promoted to that rank is trivial thing that's not worth hiding.

”Congrats! This is my congratulation present!” Minato smiled and handed Ryo a special Kunai.

Ryo took in his hand; it was the Flying Thunder God Kunai. On it, Minato's formula for the Jutsu was engraved.

”Thank you Nii San!” Ryo thanked Minato. On the other side, Kushina was a bit embarrassed because it was her own student, and she didn't actually prepare him any present.

Noticing her embarrassment, Ryo said: ”Kushina Ne-san, your present will wait for me to become a Jonin just like you!”

Hearing Ryo's words, Kushina felt less awkward.

”For how long are you going to keep laughing and joking around?” Jiraya's arrival interrupted the 3.

”The 4th Kazekage has been selected, and it didn't take him long to claim that the disappearance of his predecessors is the work of Konoha. They have declared war upon us!”

As Jiraya finished his words, he gave a good look at the three in front of him.

The War has started!
