Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Reiki quickly returned to the battlefield. Although Otsutsuki Kaguya's strength was overwhelming, the battle had shifted. The once one-sided dominance was now met with a coordinated effort fueled by the intense training and enhancements provided by Reiki's potions. Over the past year, the shinobi's teamwork and individual abilities had grown significantly.

If Kaguya continued her previous approach, she would face serious resistance.

The Arrival of Reiki

Reiki arrived amidst a dense cloud of dust and fog from the recent explosion.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

With a simple gesture, Reiki released a powerful wind jutsu. Though a standard B-rank technique, it carried the force of an S-rank in his hands, clearing the battlefield instantly.

What he saw surprised him. Instead of a debilitated Kaguya, a black mass with glowing golden Rinnegan eyes stood in the center of the battlefield.

"How could I forget about this guy, Black Zetsu?" Reiki smirked, his eyes narrowing at the resilient figure.

Before he could act further, Uchiha Shisui intervened. Shisui's blade glinted as he closed in on Black Zetsu, but the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Hatake Sakumo, and others immediately turned their attention to Reiki, seeking to neutralize him before he unleashed his space-time ninjutsu.

The Wear and Tear of Battle

The battle stretched into its second day. Exhaustion crept over the shinobi as their physical and mental reserves dwindled. Watching their comrades fall one by one added to their despair. The thought loomed large:

Could Kaguya Otsutsuki and Reiki truly be defeated?

Doubt grew. If they struggled against a simulation, how could they hope to face the Otsutsuki clan when they arrived in earnest? Some shinobi considered retreating, their will faltering.

But there were others—stalwart warriors—who grew fiercer in the face of adversity. For them, retreat was not an option. The sacrifices of fallen comrades demanded they push forward. Among these warriors stood Namikaze Minato, Hatake Sakumo, Ai, Yagura, Onoki, and Rasa. These formidable leaders anchored the battlefield, preventing it from collapsing entirely.

Minato's Strategy

Namikaze Minato stepped forward, his voice cutting through the fatigue and doubt.

"Listen! Coordination is key. Kaguya and Reiki are strong, but they can't easily overcome us if we attack strategically. I'll handle roaming support while the rest of you split into two teams to target them individually. If anyone is in danger, I'll be there."

Minato tossed his specially crafted kunai into the air and disappeared. Inspired, the shinobi regrouped and launched a renewed assault on Kaguya and Reiki. This tactical shift revitalized their efforts.

Tsunade's Perspective

On the third day, Tsunade gathered the resting instructors and special training camp members, using her connection with Black Zetsu to provide updates.

"Now, tell me," Tsunade began, "do you think Kaguya and Reiki will win, or will our ninja world prevail?"

Terumi Mei, still young and fiery, clenched her fists and answered without hesitation.

"The ninja world will win!"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Why do you say that?"

"Tsunade-sama, I've watched this battle unfold closely. While Kaguya's power is immense, the growth of our shinobi is undeniable. Look at Reiki—he's only 12 years old and already at this level. Others may not have his talent, but in time, many will reach heights similar to his. The potential of the ninja world is limitless. I'm not just talking about this mock battle—I'm talking about the future!"

Her unwavering belief inspired the group. Tsunade smiled, nodding approvingly.

"Well said, Terumi Mei. That conviction, that belief in the future, is what sets our ninja world apart from the Otsutsuki clan."

A Fire Ignited

The younger members of the special training camp were electrified. Passion burned in their hearts as they echoed Terumi Mei's sentiments. Their response wasn't despair but determination. The power of their belief in the future was the strength the Otsutsuki clan lacked.

The Otsutsuki's power came from conquest and plunder. The shinobi drew their power from unity, sacrifice, and an unyielding will to protect.

Back on the Battlefield

As the battle raged, the young shinobi turned their focus to the fight. Their admiration now shifted from the village leaders to warriors like Uchiha Shisui, Terumi Mei, Hatake Kakashi, and, most of all, Reiki. These figures, who embodied strength and resolve, became their new role models.

Tsunade remained quiet, her eyes locked on the battlefield. She knew that these young shinobi would someday surpass their instructors. Their journey had only begun, and this battle was merely the first step toward a future where they would defend the ninja world against all odds.

"This… this belief in a better tomorrow… is the true strength of the ninja world," Tsunade thought, turning her attention back to the fight.

The clash of titans continued, but a shift had occurred. No longer was it simply a test of strength—it was a battle of conviction. The belief in victory now burned brightly in every shinobi's heart.
