Chapter 146: Battlefield

Cry!

A high-pitched eagle cry rang out in the high sky above the Leaf Village frontline camp.

Then, a huge white-headed sea eagle landed on the specially opened 'airfield' for it.

Jumping off the eagle's back, seeing the familiar figure waiting, Dong Shilang said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mei Xiang sis!"

"Dong Shilang, you've worked hard all the way! How was it? Was the journey still safe?"

Looking at this child she had watched grow up, Uchiha Mei Xiang felt a pang of heartache. The other party was still a ten-year-old child, already having to travel back and forth for the family and village.

It really made this 'sister' feel heartache~

"It's fine! On the way, the 'Mountain Eagle' flew very high, with no accidents……"

The 'Mountain Eagle' is the name Dong Shilang gave to his own summoned beast, after it gradually gained some wisdom.

Dong Shilang gave it this name as a remembrance of his previous life.

That's right; at this point, it had already been the third month since Dong Shilang's first successful air transport of supplies.

He never imagined he would step onto the battlefield in this way.

Since the first time he successfully brought supplies to the front line, this novel air transport method gained everyone's approval, including the clan chief.

This method is truly too advantageous!

Setting out from the village, in less than half a day he successfully reached the destination, without needing to dispatch additional 'security' personnel.

How could one not be unable to stop?

Even the 'cargo rack' on the Mountain Eagle's body had undergone several updates; now it is using sturdy ropes to bind a huge 'carrying bag' on its body.

This 'carrying bag' is right at the center of its back, and its surface is densely covered with black seals.

This special 'carrying bag' has already gone through three generations: from initially grabbing cargo directly with the eagle's talons, to later a special back-mounted 'carrying bag', and now, after deliberate reinforcement, it also bears seals with special uses.

These seals mainly serve to fix a specific technique, which is the renowned Heavy-Light Rock Technique of Rock Ninja Village.

When in use, Dong Shilang, the owner of the summoned beast, provides chakra to lighten the cargo's weight, making it easier to carry more supplies at once.

After several experiments, the effect was quite good.

Although it cannot reach the level of the Third Tsuchikage, who completely disregards gravity, the cargo carried per trip has increased from one ton to three tons.

The effect is also incredibly explosive!

Seeing some clansmen who had been waiting here in advance, after unloading all the cargo, Dong Shilang unloaded this special 'carrying bag' from his summoned beast's body.

Afterward, he still needed to maintain it; after flying so long in the high sky, there was some wear and tear, so he needed to take good care of it.

New things always have minor issues……

He pointed at the Mountain Eagle, which didn't linger, directly dispelled the summoning technique, and returned to the Island of Oblivion.

Since Dong Shilang began working as an 'airborne acrobat', he gradually started training this large bird; although due to the short time he still couldn't make it speak, it had begun to develop some simple intelligence.

Speaking of the Ninja World, there are not few flying summoned beasts, but flying summoned beasts as huge as the 'Mountain Eagle' are indeed rare.

One reason is that such large breeds are rare; not every place has the unique geographical environment like the Island of Oblivion.

Another reason is that for a huge summoned beast, if it is a carnivore, its daily consumption is also an enormous number.

And most large flying birds are carnivores.

This indirectly leads to the scarcity of large summoned beasts~

This is also why Dong Shilang can run back and forth between Leaf Village and the front line without worry.

"How is it, Mei Xiang sis? Is everything alright with Elder Brother Minghong?"

Since she was in contact with Mei Xiang sis, she also had some understanding of her brother-in-law's situation.

Walking into the camp, Dong Shilang asked along the way.

Having rested overnight in the village yesterday, there should have been no changes.

Since Dong Shilang began frequently going to and from the camp, he was inevitably conscripted; his main duty became transporting supplies.

When free, he would also help Mei Xiang sis in the hospital treat minor injuries within his ability.

Of course, this mainly took place within the Uchiha camp, and it was the frontline hospital.

Although Leaf Village had a unified medical system, it couldn't stop everyone's craving for medical ninjas; each family sent their own medical ninjas over to serve exclusively their own family.

Although the village had some complaints about this, everyone did it; even the Hokage couldn't help, only able to make the civilian ninjas suffer.

At the same time, support for Gangshou was increased……

All we can do is hope to train more medical ninjas to ease the front line's demand for medical personnel.

As for being assigned to a medical position after arriving here, Dong Shilang was also pleased with it.

Now he has just begun 'Body Vitality Activation'; because of the special method, the demand for Yang Release is also not small, and each time he converts Yang Release, he always falls behind the rhythm.

The refinement of Yang Release chakra has always been his weakness; although he has always valued it greatly, he still can't keep up with his progress in Yin Release.

Having the opportunity to train his medical ninjutsu, and also not having to go to the frontline battlefield, what reason does he have to refuse~

Being able to have such a relatively safe and easy job on this battlefield is already quite good.

Of course, this would not be possible without Mei Xiang sis's help.

She is now a leading figure in the family's medical affairs; even in the village, she is equally renowned.

Across the entire battlefield, whenever Leaf Village ninjas go on missions, they must carry the three special-effect drugs developed under Mei Xiang sis's leadership.

One is a potent clotting agent, one is an anti-infection agent, and one is a special secret medicine that can boost spirits at critical moments.

Now on the black market, these three medicines have been copied at sky-high prices, making a bottle extremely hard to obtain.

Not only Leaf Village ninjas, but other villages also know that a Uchiha medical ninja has developed three life-saving divine medicines.

Although there are corresponding development plans, for now such a product—affordable, with low material requirements—cannot be developed……
