Chapter 685 Test

The headquarters building of the medical department has a thick foundation and straight upward slopes. The stone paint is mainly white. From a distance, it looks like a magnificent pyramid surrounded by tall white walls, which distinguish the medical department from the rest of the departments.

Entering the headquarters building, Sakura habitually came to the elevator door leading to the underground area, took out the access card to unlock it, and went to the underground area of the medical department headquarters.

This white pyramid-shaped medical headquarters building is divided into eight floors above ground and five floors underground.

The first five floors of the eight floors above ground are the hospital area, and the last three floors are the office and administrative areas.

The fifth basement floor is the warehouse and research area.

It has been almost two years since Sakura came to the country of ghosts and joined the military.

Although she occasionally works as a guest doctor on the ground floor to accumulate experience in the implementation of medical ninjutsu, but more often Sakura will go to the underground research area to work in the research and development of medicines and medical props.

For example, the medical talisman that has gradually become popular in the military of the ghost country was developed in the underground research area of this building.

With the investment of dozens of experts in this field, and the continuous supply of funds and materials, the research and development of medical symbols has made breakthrough progress in the past few years.

As the earliest proposer of the medical talisman, Sakura also joined the project team that developed the medical talisman, and served as the team leader of one of the groups, with more than a dozen workers under him. In terms of ability, at this age, he is already considered a medical ninja with outstanding aptitude, and is highly valued by the senior management of the medical department.

After all, everyone knows that the medical department currently does not have a head, only a deputy head, Nohara.

And that Deputy Minister Nohara has been in the medical department for a whole year, and the job content is completely confidential. He only knows that the other party has direct contacts with the military high-level.

In this case, the medical department urgently needs a leading commander-level figure who can sit in the medical department all year round.

Young medical ninjas like Sakura who have outstanding talents in the medical field and work hard, attract the most attention from the top management. Maybe they will be directly in charge of the medical department in the future?

"Sakura, you are here."

Entering the experimental workshop of the medical talisman, many medical ninjas in charge of the medical talisman project have already started to work.

Among them, a familiar figure came, it was Hanami Haruka, she came to Sakura and greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Hana, you came a little early today."

Sakura skillfully put on a white coat and dustproof gloves, and walked directly to the workbench while chatting with Haruka Hanami.

The research project of the medical talisman is very cumbersome, not only requires the use of medical ninjutsu, but also involves the same complex and precise sealing technique.

And the special paper that can accommodate medical procedures seems to require the assistance of experts in the field of materials and manufacturing.

To put it simply, if you only invest in medical ninjas, no matter how much money, energy and time you invest, it will be difficult to produce qualified medical symbols, let alone the later factory assembly line production, it is simply impossible.

"Because the work here is almost finished, I think it won't be long before the medical charms can be put into the factory for assembly line production."

Hana Haruka narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her face, as if the completion of the medical talisman made her very happy.

She also works in the project team that develops the medical talisman, but unlike Sakura, she only works part-time. In Sakura's team, she is responsible for helping all the team members.

This kind of work is a test of the overall quality of the medical ninja. Being able to do these things in an orderly manner without any mistakes is enough to prove that Hanami Haruka is excellent in the medical field.

"That's right. In that way, the sacrifice rate of ninjas from various countries in missions will be greatly reduced, allowing more people to survive."

Sakura also seemed to be in a good mood.

As a medical ninja, she doesn't like to fight, and she doesn't like to die.

But such a naive idea is impossible to realize.

Ninja is a fighting profession. Once the battle is lost, ninjas from all over the world will have problems even supporting themselves.

Sakura, who is familiar with history, knows well that in times of peace, the daimyos of various countries will cut military expenditures on ninja villages in their own countries, in order not to raise too many idle ninjas. As a result, during past peace periods, each village had to lay off staff and reduce the number of working ninjas.

If it weren't for the emergence of a hegemonic military power like the Kingdom of Ghosts, such a scene would definitely reappear, as if it were an unavoidable reincarnation.

So, since the battle of ninjas cannot be eliminated, as a medical ninja, it is only necessary to reduce the sacrifice rate of ninjas.

The medical talisman that Kingdom of Ghosts is about to complete can solve this problem.

Seeing a happy Sakura, Hanami Haruka hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I think that after the medical talisman is produced on the assembly line, it may not be sold to ninja villages in various countries."

"Um?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand what Hanajian Haruka meant.

Hana Haruka thought for a while, and continued: "The atmosphere in the military this year is a bit strange compared to previous years. I also heard from Cai that even if medical talismans can be mass-produced, they will be popularized in the country of ghosts. As for when they will flow to other countries, it depends on the opinions of the top military officials."

After all, once this kind of thing flows into other countries, although it will not directly increase the combat effectiveness of the enemy country, it can greatly enhance the country's continuous combat capability.

This is not a good thing for the ghost country that is now surrounded by enemies.

Sakura's expression fell silent, and she also thought of the key point.

"Well, this kind of thing, I also expected it."

Sakura smiled, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit forced.

"Don't worry, Sakura. This kind of thing that can bring fame and benefits, the high-level will not hold it in their hands for too long. Maybe it will be opened to villages in other countries next year."

Hana Haruka comforted Sakura, making her face calm down a little.

"Speaking of which, the medical talisman was proposed by Sakura first, how did you come up with it?"

Hanami Haruka asked curiously.

Although thinking about it now, the idea of medical charms seems nothing special, but before Sakura, none of the medical ninjas seemed to think about it.

Using spells as the carrier, they are basically related to seals and barriers, or the hot-selling detonating charms, or the exorcism charms used by witches.

Hearing Hanami Haruka's question, Sakura's face was quite embarrassed.

She suddenly thought that her original intention of making the healing talisman was to help Sasuke with her own strength one day even if she was not by her side... Thus came the idea of the healing talisman, and tried to make a simple version.

Not for making a contribution to the medical field, nor for the great idea of saving more people.

Just because of her youth and ignorance, a girl had an untouchable **** dream.

That's all.

Thinking of this, Sakura's mood suddenly became a little melancholy.

Speaking of which, I haven't heard about Sasuke for a long time.

I don't know how the other party is doing now.

It seemed that Sakura was in a depressed mood. Hanami Haruka suddenly remembered something, and said to Sakura: "Speaking of which, I heard an interesting rumor, Sakura, do you want to know? It is related to Uchiha Sasuke."

"Sasuke?" Sakura turned her head in surprise, then her face became agitated, she took a step forward, grabbed Hanami Haruka's shoulders with both hands, preventing her from going back, and asked eagerly, "Hana, what do you know?"

"Uh..." I didn't expect Sakura to be so excited. Hanami Haruka coughed, looked directly into Sakura's eyes and said, "I don't know if it's true or not. In the past two days, there seems to be a rumor going around outside. That is Sasuke Uchiha, who seems to have killed Orochimaru, one of the Sannin."

"What? Sasuke him..."

This news shocked Sakura, she opened her small mouth, unable to close it for a long time.

She is no longer a rookie during the ninja school and the ninja period. Regarding the name of the three ninjas, she is very clear about what kind of ninja it is.

Especially when she was in Konoha, she even worshiped one of them as a disciple, knowing how powerful the ninja who bears this title is.

And the Sasuke she was thinking of killed one of them?

"Well, that's right." Hanami Haruka nodded, and continued: "Although I don't know if it's true or not, it seems to be spreading like this."

"What happened after that? Where did Sasuke go after that? Is there any news about him? Has Konoha launched an operation against him?"

Sakura asked nervously.

"I don't know about this, and I haven't heard of Konoha's actions against Uchiha Sasuke."

Hanami Haruka shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Her impression of Uchiha Sasuke is limited to the Chunin exam four years ago, and she thinks he is a handsome and talented ninja.

It's a pity that she already has someone she likes, otherwise such a young man with good looks, strength, and a long family background would be a good choice for a mate.

"Is that so? Sorry, Hanami, I got a little too excited."

Sakura let out a sigh of relief, let go of Hana Haruka's shoulders, took a step back, and apologized.

"It doesn't matter, if you care about it, you will be confused. But don't worry, what I heard is gossip, and I don't know if it's true or not. If you want to know the whole content, you can go to the intelligence department to inquire about it after work in the afternoon. Such a big thing happened, I believe those people in the intelligence department must know more things."

"Yes, the intelligence department must know more about Sasuke."

Sakura also suddenly came over.

It was only then that I remembered that I was backed by a powerful country like the Kingdom of Ghosts.

If you want to obtain information, there is no need to do it yourself. As long as the information is not too taboo, or involves top-secret information, the personnel of the intelligence department will definitely tell her about Sasuke.

In this way, the difficulty of obtaining information will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, let's go to the intelligence department to talk about intelligence matters in the afternoon. Our work here has not been completed yet."

Hanami Haruka pointed to the empty workbench in front of her.

"Then let's start today's work."

Sakura wiped her sleeves, clenched her fists vigorously, and walked towards the workbench with Hanami Haruka.

Military Region, Exercise Site No. 4.

This is a kind of ancient gladiatorial arena. It is constructed in a huge circle with a diameter of about 300 meters, surrounded by stepped audience stands.

Although the location of the auditorium area is much smaller than the auditorium used in the Chunin exams, the circular stage for battles is far from the competitive arena used in the Chunin exams.

But judging from the diameter of the circular stage, it has already exceeded 100 meters.

In the stepped front audience seats, Shiraishi was sitting in the front seat, and next to him was the uninvited Ayane, who must have come to watch with Shiraishi because of the upcoming duel.

Besides, in the auditorium on the side, there are ghost country ninjas who came here in twos and threes after hearing the news, and some people have very conspicuous round fan marks on their clothes.

On the circular gladiatorial arena, a large-scale venue with a diameter of more than 100 meters, enough powerful ninjas can fight on it without seeming crowded.

Sasuke was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt at this time, dark blue trousers on his lower body, and a dark purple rope tied around his waist, which was the same as Orochimaru, with a Kusanagi sword sandwiched in it.

He gently pressed his palm on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword, his black hair fluttered in the wind, his black and white eyes were full of firmness and calmness, and he was not disturbed by external factors.

Facing him, Liuli is also standing facing the wind, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, her hands crossed in front of her chest, dressed in pitch black, her hands are naturally hanging on both sides of her waist, and her palms are also kept in a natural open posture.

Compared to Sasuke's calmness and composure, her expression and posture carried a kind of leisurely temperament.

Sasuke understands that this is a kind of leeway that superiors naturally have for inferiors.

"I have been paying attention to your growth since a long time ago."

Liuli spoke suddenly, and the clear and cold voice fell into Sasuke's ears.

"oh?"

responded lightly, Sasuke really didn't know about this matter.

"Eight years ago, when I heard that the Uchiha clan of Konoha was exterminated, I had the urge to cut off all the high-level members of Konoha. However, due to the influence of various factors, and the kingdom of ghosts is still developing, it is not appropriate to make too many enemies. In the end, I gave up this idea. Moreover, 21 years ago, I broke up with the Uchiha of Konoha, so I think that even if I want to get back the Uchiha clan's own things, it should be taken by the Uchiha of Konoha's line. back."

Liuli talked about this past event.

"I see, am I the chosen one?"

Sasuke understood.

"Because you are the last person of Konoha Uchiha, it would be best if you can succeed. If you fail, I will personally go to retrieve everything Uchiha lost."

Liuli's voice was still cold, but it was no longer as impersonal as before.

Although she doesn't like Konoha's Uchiha, after all, Uchiha's blood flows.

They can die on the battlefield, but never at the hands of their own people.

Such a disgrace must be washed away with blood.

"That would be the best, I will do my own things myself."

Sasuke gripped the hilt of the Kusanagi sword tightly, and the sound of metal friction sounded on the arena, showing the sharpness of the blade.

Baishi in his auditorium glanced at him, then looked away, looking at Liuli's cold face:

"I originally planned to find that person to verify my true strength, but it seems good to replace someone from the Uchiha clan with you as an opponent."

The distance between the two is about ten meters. There is a soft breeze blowing in the middle, blowing their clothes and hair, and the atmosphere on the venue is extraordinarily peaceful.

"Really? I heard from Shiraishi that you are now able to defeat Orochimaru from the front, so I think at least you won't fall down immediately. So, I plan to let you see the real posture of Uchiha ninjas in battle!"

As Liuli spoke, her pupils that were originally clear suddenly became sharper.

The peaceful atmosphere blended between the two of them began to become heavy and depressing at some point.

The sharing eyes of the two opened simultaneously, and Wuyan began to look at each other.

Like the clarion call for the start of a battle, strong chakra began to gushe out around the arena. Around the arena, a barrier light wall was arranged that would not obstruct the view, enclosing the two of them in the barrier, so that the aftermath of their next battle would not be able to spread to the outside world.

Using this as the clarion call to start the battle, Sasuke decided to strike first.

He completely pulled the Kusanagi sword out of the scabbard, and the silver light shone on the blade. At the same time, he held the palm of the blade and started to run the chakra. The ear-piercing buzzing sound immediately resounded throughout the arena, stimulating the eardrums of the audience, and making them frown involuntarily.

I saw that the silver-white blade was replaced by azure blue lightning, and blue lightning gathered on the blade, raising the sharpness of the blade to another level.

Then, his heels began to pad up, and he was about to use his strength to kick forward, using the thunder escape to maximize the speed, and surprise the opponent.

Although the opponent's strength is likely to be stronger than his own, Sasuke doesn't think he will lose.

As long as I use my mind, I can at least push the opponent to a desperate situation.

In an instant, at least ten battle plans that could actually sneak attack the opponent appeared in his mind.

However, what was faster than him was Liuli's action. Her hands still kept the natural hanging posture, but the dark red chakra airflow began to materialize around her body, a strange color thicker than blood, forming a half-body skeleton the size of a small mountain on her body surface.

This is not over yet, only the bones of the upper body continue to condense chakra. Under the continuous supply of chakra of glass, the original skeleton body is immediately enriched with meridians and flesh, forming an armor and carrying out the ultimate armed.

This kind of movement is almost done in one go, without any sense of obstruction.

When Sasuke was going to use the Thunderbolt to stimulate the cells in his body and launch a surprise attack forward, a half-length Chakra giant was born instantly under Liuli's super control.

This is what the other party said about the Uchiha clan...the real way of fighting?

Sasuke suddenly felt that it was not his own problem, but the other party's problem.

Among the ninjas he has encountered so far, the general combat process starts with the simplest temptation, and then after finding out the enemy's capabilities, he then considers what tactics to use to deal with the enemy.

After all, no one knows what kind of dangerous moves the enemy is hiding. If you act carelessly, you may fall into the enemy's trap.

Intelligence first.

It seemed that he could also see the stiffness and unnaturalness on Sasuke's face. There was a look of surprise and uncertainty in the eyes of the other party, but Liuli had no intention of stopping.

In her own way, she will teach this young Uchiha junior what the fighting style of Uchiha clan ninjas should be.

What is the correct way to use Sharingan!

Illusions, body arts, ninjutsu, and intelligence warfare based on testing the opponent are all unnecessary burdens in the face of such destructive power.

This kind of power that shatters all hopes of the enemy with extreme power and brings eternal despair is exactly the romance of the strength of the Uchiha clan!

So, she kept her hands folded in front of her chest, stood still without moving a step, surrounded by her half body Susanoo, raised her arms towards the void above, a dark red giant sword was held tightly by the palm of the giant Chakra in the trembling air.

I saw the blood-colored eyes bred with dark matter, flickering from the giant's eye sockets like ghostly will-o'-the-wisps, staring at Sasuke with a somewhat stiff expression and movements.

Without pausing, he raised the dark red giant sword in the void, aimed at Sasuke, and slashed down mercilessly.

Boom!

The dark red sword light mercilessly divided the hundreds-meter-long circular stage into two halves.

Boom!

The terrifying power of the sword light even impacted the surrounding barriers, causing the barrier light walls with strong defensive power to buzz and tremble under the impact of the sword light.

The sand and stones fly away, and the earth shakes.

Thick dust and smoke rolled up, and a shadow quickly shuttled through it.

Before the figure in the dense dust could make a counterattack, the second sword strike arrived instantly.

The horror scene is presented again.

Just two swords down, the gladiatorial arena with a diameter of hundreds of meters was destroyed to pieces.

The entire site seemed to have experienced a magnitude 8 earthquake, and a large number of broken stones were uneven.

Only where Liuli was located, the floor was slightly flat, but there were also terrifying cracks, which spread outward like a spider spinning silk.

"Ahem."

Among the dense dust that was flying up, Sasuke kept retreating.

The originally handsome and handsome appearance has also become embarrassing at this time.

He was panting, and blood appeared on his temples, flowing into his right Shuishan, making the eyes even better.

Liuli saw that under her two swords, she was already in a state of embarrassment. Sasuke, who had no choice but to run away, raised the corners of his mouth, but the words he said were extremely cold:

"Do you know? Before you go to your brother Uchiha Itachi, it is the right choice to come to me to test your own strength. Because, if you don't have the same strength, go rashly and fail that's your only fate!"

In order to prove this fact to Sasuke, the three-color pitch-black jade in Liuli's eyes began to connect with each other, turning into a spinning Thunder Mark, exuding mysterious fluctuations.

Like a volcano about to erupt, Liuli's body was agitated with a terrifying aura, which made Sasuke feel difficult to breathe, and stared straight ahead.

Is this the real fighting style of the Uchiha clan? Sharingan... real power?

Before the fiery thoughts rose, a pot of cold water was poured on the head again.

The third sword, one after another!

"Mines!"

The giant sword smashed the earth.

The thunder light swept out, further ravaging and crushing the shattered ground, turning the entire circular field into fly ash, swallowing the majesty and roar of thunder.
