"Hello everyone, my name is Hyuga Shigeru, nice to meet you all."

A group of people were looking for the medical ninja everywhere. Shigeru couldn't stand standing at the edge anymore, so he walked out and introduced himself.

"Go, go, let's find a medical ninja. Why are you, a member of the Hyuga clan, joining in the fun?"

"He's a member of the Hyuga clan, look at his eyes."

There are no Hyuga people with such distinct eyes.

Everyone noticed something different, and they all stared at Shigeru curiously, wanting to know what was going on with his eyes.

At this time, two ninjas wearing Jōnin vests walked into the training ground.

Among them, the Jōnin with long black hair shouted loudly: "Quiet!!"

The training ground became quiet in an instant, and the long-haired Jōnin said loudly: "My name is Honda. You can call me Captain Honda. I hope that I can get along well with all of you while stationed at the border."

"Now, let's start the roll call."

When it was Shigeru's turn, Honda looked at him twice to make sure it was correct before nodding and moving on to the next name.

As written in the information, people from the Hyuga clan can suffer from degenerative Byakugan disease. In order to treat themselves, they might study hard and eventually become medical ninjas.

Everyone on the rotation roster was there.

The Jōnin standing next to Honda was named Sarutobi Mishima, and his position was the deputy captain of the camp.

After confirming that everyone was present, Honda waved and said: "Let's go!"

Under the leadership of the two captains, dozens of people followed, leaving the village together and heading toward the border. Except for the two captains, no one knew which camp they would be going to for the rotation.

After leaving the village, Sarutobi Mishima approached Shigeru specifically to build a relationship with him.

As the only medical ninja in the camp, having a good relationship was crucial. Otherwise, if the medical ninja was offended, they could cause trouble. In more serious cases, they could delay treatment with fatal consequences.

"Before we left, Tsunade-hime came to see me and hoped to give you some flexibility to move freely."

Shigeru didn't know how Tsunade managed to arrange this, but she had always been good to him without asking for anything in return.

Shigeru replied, "When we get to the camp, I'll need both captains and all our companions to look out for me. After all, I'm just a medical ninja and not that great in battle."

"Don't worry, as long as we're here, no one will hurt you."

The group of ninjas all promised to protect Shigeru's safety. Medical ninjas were rare and valuable, and no one wanted to lose the support they provided.

Captain Honda also handed two sealing scrolls to Shigeru, which contained various medical supplies. As the only medical ninja, it was his responsibility to manage these.

The journey to the camp took two days, and everything went smoothly without incident.

Standing in the camp cabin, hands behind his back, Shigeru looked up at the gloomy sky and the endless rain. "What a mistake. It seems I'm going to be really busy in the future."

Shigeru hadn't anticipated that the rotation would land them at a camp on the border of the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain, as its name suggests, was notorious for constant downpours. The sky rarely cleared, and the country seemed to exist under a perpetual gray cloud.

While others had to patrol in the rain, Shigeru was fortunate enough to remain in the camp unless there was an emergency.

"Shigeru, I brought you a gift."

Captain Honda, fresh from patrol, happily walked into the camp carrying a wild deer.

"Captain, this isn't a gift for Shigeru; you just want to eat it yourself," one of the ninjas joked.

"Hahaha, you're right! The captain's been complaining that he's sick of dry rations."

"Shut up!"

Honda's dark face reddened as he pointed at the laughing ninja and barked: "Fine, I'm greedy! But don't expect to eat any of the barbecue later."

Despite the teasing, everyone was eager for a break from the monotony of their meals, and the camp soon buzzed with excitement over the prospect of fresh venison.

As a medical ninja, and with impressive cooking skills, Shigeru quickly became the camp's favorite.

Looking at the firewood stacked nearby, Shigeru quipped, "I didn't expect the camp medical room to double as the kitchen."

"Hahaha...."

Shigeru's joke sent the camp into fits of laughter.

Soon, the venison was prepared, and Captain Honda personally helped light the fire while Shigeru handled the barbecue.

Sarutobi Mishima, who spent more time in the camp than out on patrol, had been keeping an eye on Shigeru, though his intentions remained unclear.

The aroma of roasted venison filled the air, and everyone waited eagerly for their share.

"Line up, no pushing!" Captain Honda commanded as he began slicing the meat.

A full hind leg was reserved for Shigeru, with the rest shared among the others.

Nobody objected to Honda's gesture. As the medical ninja, Shigeru was essential, and they all wanted to stay on his good side.

After receiving their venison, the group dispersed to their cabins to enjoy the rare treat.

"Captain Mishima, can we talk?"

Sarutobi Mishima, about to head to his cabin with his portion, paused when Shigeru called out to him.

Surprised, he smiled and nodded, agreeing to the conversation.

"I'm afraid it will be very cold tomorrow."
