Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Reiki focused on his role as a medical ninja, tirelessly treating the wounded. But when he sensed Uchiha Madara's gaze lingering on him, he glanced back in the legendary ninja's direction.

"Is the battle on Madara's side already over?" Reiki wondered aloud. "He looks surprisingly idle." 

With a quick plan forming in his mind, he created a **Shadow Clone** and sent it toward Madara.

### A Strange Request

"Why have you sent a clone to me?" Madara asked, raising an eyebrow as the shadow clone approached.

"Madara-sama," the clone began, "you don't seem particularly busy right now, so I could use your help."

Madara blinked, caught off guard by the request. "Help? What kind of help?"

Reiki's clone smiled. "You see, I'm a medical ninja, and my job is to heal. There are countless injured people scattered across this battlefield, and it would save time if you could gather them all for me."

For a moment, Madara was dumbfounded. "Are you asking me—Uchiha Madara—to play the role of a porter?"

"In a sense," the clone admitted. "Also, the ongoing conflict here in the Land of Fire could escalate into a full-blown ninja war if we're not careful. I'd like to avoid that, as it could devastate our home."

Madara scoffed but couldn't help chuckling at the audacity. "A ninja war? These fools wouldn't dare if Hashirama were still alive. And Tobirama… don't even get me started on that self-righteous fool. His brilliance was always overshadowed by his arrogance." 

"Madara-sama," the clone interrupted gently, "this isn't the time for historical debates. My chakra is running low, so I'll leave the rest to you."

Before Madara could respond, the shadow clone dissipated in a puff of white smoke.

Madara stood still for a moment, his expression caught between amusement and disbelief. "That kid has some nerve."

### Madara's New Role

True to Reiki's request, Madara began gathering Konoha's injured ninjas and delivering them to the medical team. This unexpected act left many on the battlefield stunned.

"Kakuzu," one mercenary grumbled, "is this how Konoha's medical ninjas operate? They just keep coming back, as if they're immortal!"

Another mercenary nodded in frustration. "It's exhausting. I've defeated the same guy three times, and every time, he comes back like nothing happened!"

"And now, Uchiha Madara himself is collecting their wounded? What's going on here?" 

None of them dared attack Madara outright, knowing full well that such an action would likely spell their doom.

### The Sarutobi-Danzo Confrontation

While the battlefield swirled with confusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen was locked in a fierce clash with Danzo.

"Danzo!" Hiruzen roared, deflecting an incoming shuriken. "What are you doing?!"

Danzo's face twisted in anger. "What am I doing? What about you, Hiruzen? I've spent my life in the shadows for Konoha, doing the dirty work that kept your hands clean. And now, you're casting me aside like a broken tool?"

"You're mistaken!" Hiruzen shouted back. "This isn't the time for infighting. Our priority is Uchiha Madara—"

"Priority?" Danzo sneered, cutting him off. "You've been basking in the light of your Hokage title for so long, you've forgotten what it takes to protect this village. Now you think you can abandon the shadow you once relied on?"

Danzo unleashed a flurry of attacks: 

- **Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!** 

- **Wind Release: Shuriken Gale!** 

- **Summoning Jutsu: Dream-Eating Tapir!**

Hiruzen blocked and countered each attack, but Danzo's relentless aggression left him reeling. "Danzo, have you lost your mind?" Hiruzen shouted. "Why are you turning against me now?"

### The Battlefield's Chaos

From the start, Hiruzen's plans for this mission had unraveled in every possible way. 

Madara, the supposed enemy, was fighting Kumogakure instead of Konoha. Then, Danzo had launched an outright attack on Hiruzen. Mercenaries and White Zetsu clones had flooded the battlefield, turning the situation into a chaotic free-for-all.

To make matters worse, Madara's unexpected actions were reshaping the dynamics on the field. By delivering wounded Konoha ninjas to the medical team, Madara was earning an odd form of goodwill—even from Konoha's forces.

Among Konoha's ninjas, whispers began to spread: 

"Madara hasn't harmed any of us." 

"Could he be seeking reconciliation with the village?" 

"If he proposed returning to Konoha as its protector, would that be so bad?"

Hiruzen's grip on the situation weakened further with every passing moment. The growing favor toward Madara only added to his confusion.

### Madara's Amusement

Madara observed the battlefield with a mixture of satisfaction and amusement. "Reiki's plan is unfolding better than I expected," he murmured, dropping another injured ninja off near the medical team.

His gaze landed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, locked in combat with Danzo. "What a mess," Madara said, shaking his head. "The mighty Hokage is barely holding his own against his own subordinate."

Looking to the horizon, Madara's smirk widened as Sunagakure's forces joined the fray, adding yet another layer of chaos. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to nudge things along," he mused.

---

### Hiruzen's Growing Despair

As Hiruzen continued fending off Danzo's attacks, his frustration mounted. "Why is this happening?" he thought. "Madara, our supposed enemy, is now seen as a potential ally. Danzo, my most trusted shadow, has turned against me. And now mercenaries and other villages are escalating this into a full-scale conflict."

To make matters worse, Hiruzen could see how the battlefield's perception of Madara was shifting. If Madara returned to Konoha under these circumstances, he could challenge Hiruzen's authority—and possibly succeed.

"Danzo," Hiruzen growled, parrying another attack, "you're playing right into Madara's hands. If we don't stop him now, everything we've worked for will be lost!"

Danzo didn't respond. His mind was singularly focused on one goal: eliminating Hiruzen.

### The Battlefield's Turning Point

As Madara strolled through the battlefield, a stray thought crossed his mind. "Perhaps I've underestimated that little medical ninja. He's turned a simple act of healing into a way to manipulate an entire battlefield's perception."

In the distance, Reiki continued his work, unaware of the ripple effects his actions had set in motion.

The chaotic battlefield was reaching a critical point, and with each faction pulling in different directions, one thing was certain: the outcome of this battle would reshape the ninja world forever.
