Chapter 19: Battle Against Monsters

AN: First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I hope you all are having a good one and are staying warm, well... warmer than the negative 21 degrees celcius here in Edmonton...

...

Anyways! Thank you all for reading Ninja Gamer, and any other fics that I write, I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that I made a Pa/treon page (Why do you block that word, FFN?) to help supplement my... non existent paycheque... ain't it great to be unemployed?

Anyways, I'm not expecting a massive amount, and I don't really have many rewards I can give, but there are some things, so please... at least check it out and thank you in advance for any donations.

I let out a small sigh as I pulled off the covering I had over my hair and freed it from its bun, allowing my hair to fall free. In the operating room behind me, several nurses applied the final touches to the man who had one of his lungs collapse from a kunai strike.

"Yuriko-sama!" A messenger shouted as I began pulling off my surgical clothing. "Mei-sama is requesting your presence at the war tent as soon as you are free."

"I'll be there as soon as I clean up," I assured as I began to splash some water on my sweaty face to clean it up, while the surgery was fairly clean - for a surgery - I was very sweaty from the level of concentration I needed for my healing ninjutsu while also managing the doctors and nurses assisting me.

I didn't take too long, however, as I simply freshened myself up enough to be presentable and made my way to the war tent in the center of the camp.

The war tent itself wasn't anything special as it was basically a large tent with a massive table map of Kirigakure that were marked with troop positions. "Apologies if I kept you waiting," I said as I walked in, my eyes darting around the tent to see Terumi-san, Ao-san, Han-san and an assortment of rebel jonin.

"It is alright," Terumi-san assured with a smile. "I understand that you are often busy directing the surgeries and teaching our healers."

I nodded in confirmation as I stepped up to the table and took a look down at it. It wasn't all that pretty of a picture to be honest, the rebels only had a grand total of three strongholds, including the main base, while the Loyalists had control of most of the country.

How the hell had the Kiri Rebels turned such a hopeless situation around in the original timeline? Not much information had been given about the end of the Bloodline Civil War in the anime, aside from the fact that Yagura had been killed at the end of it. Outnumbered, undersupplied, with dispirite and ill-functioning soldiers, against the fanatics of the Anti-Bloodline Loyalist Faction under Yagura Karatachi, the Hero of the Kaguya Revolt and the Jinchuuriki of Isobu, the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle.

Talk about a forlorn hope.

I listened to Terumi-san outline the operation they wanted to undergo to capture a stronghold closer to the border with the mainland to make the arrival of the reinforcements from Iwa and Konoha easier and without as much conflict to allow for safer landing on the island nation.

The plan itself was a fairly simple one, with the weather shifting in Mizu no Kuni, there will be a larger influx of mist allowing us to get closer to the base without being detected with us suppressing our chakra so that their sensors couldn't find us in the mist.

On paper the plan was simple and straightforward.

But... well... we all knew plans never survived contact with the enemy. Especially in this world.
