Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Gathering, All Parties Decide



Keji's orders echoed through the Evil God Cult. All remaining members began converging on a central location, abandoning battles with the Ninja Alliance as quickly as possible. Only their so-called "Evil God Puppets" were left behind to delay the ninja forces.

A Suspicious Retreat

Back at Reiki's camp, the team discussed the strange behavior of the Evil God Cult.

"Reiki, the cult members we encountered today acted weirdly," Shisui began, concern etched on his face. "They avoided fighting and fled, leaving only their puppets behind to block us. This isn't normal."

Namikaze Nozuki nodded in agreement. "The puppets we faced contain traces of natural energy. Even though I haven't mastered Sage Mode yet, I can sense it. Abandoning these puppets means they're discarding a significant investment. There must be a bigger reason for this."

Reiki frowned. The cult's behavior deviated sharply from their usual fanaticism. "Unless their leader is orchestrating something special, this makes no sense," he muttered.

He reviewed reports from his shadow clones, which all pointed to the same conclusion—the cultists were converging on a single location.

"Leave them for now," Reiki decided. "Focus on rescuing those puppets. They're ordinary people forced into this and shouldn't be left to suffer. As for the cult's strange behavior, stay alert and avoid their gathering point. Let's observe from a distance."

The orders were quickly disseminated through his shadow clones to allied forces across the ninja world.

Strength in Cooperation

With Reiki's guidance, the ninja forces grew increasingly effective. The rigorous training from the special training camp began to shine, as teams displayed seamless coordination in battle. Within five days, the Evil God Cult had vanished from the field, retreating completely to their stronghold.

Now, ninjas from every major village gathered on a vast plain. At the center, atop a small mound, the village Kage and senior leaders convened for a strategic meeting.

Deciphering the Cult's Plan

"Reiki, what's your analysis of the cult's recent behavior?" Namikaze Minato asked, breaking the silence.

Reiki stepped forward, his expression serious. "The Evil God Cult's retreat is a sign of desperation. Our combined forces have pushed them into a corner, and they're gathering for one last stand."

He paused, glancing at the other Kage. "This desperation is likely due to my actions. I planned to use their scattered bases as training grounds for the special training camp, but their accelerated response caught us off guard. Now, they're preparing for something big—possibly a ritual or a mass attack."

Minato's brow furrowed. "Are you saying the next battle will be more dangerous than anything we've faced so far?"

Reiki nodded grimly.

Debating the Risks

Ohnoki, the Tsuchikage, voiced his concern. "Reiki, if the cult is truly desperate, this could be a trap. Shouldn't we keep the special training camp members out of this? We can't afford to lose so many promising young ninjas."

Reiki shook his head. "No. They need to come. The enemies we'll face in the future will be far more powerful than this cult. If we shield them now, they won't be prepared for the challenges ahead. This is their test."

"But can you guarantee their safety?" Ohnoki pressed. "We're talking about lives, Reiki. Are you willing to risk them all for the sake of training?"

Reiki's gaze hardened. "No one can guarantee safety in battle, Tsuchikage-sama. This mission is voluntary—no village is obligated to participate. But Konoha will not back down."

Uniting Under a Common Cause

The Third Raikage chuckled, his booming voice breaking the tension. "Reiki's right! If a ninja retreats at the first sign of danger, what's the point of all our training? Yunyin will join this fight!"

Yagura, the Mizukage, nodded. "Kirigakure agrees. Reiki, I'll provide you with Isobu's chakra before we leave. We owe much of our recent growth to the Ninja Alliance and won't hesitate now."

Rasa, the Kazekage, followed suit. "Sunagakure will join as well. We've developed techniques to reduce risk—puppets and sand clones will scout ahead. We'll adapt as needed, but we won't abandon this battle."

Preparing for the Final Assault

With agreement from all present, the Kage began strategizing their next move.

Reiki turned to his allies. "This is our chance to end the Evil God Cult once and for all. Their gathering point is heavily fortified, but with our combined strength, we can crush them."

Orochimaru stepped forward, his sharp gaze scanning the gathered forces. "We'll divide into specialized teams—combat, support, and infiltration. Each team will include shadow clones of Reiki for coordination and medical aid."

The leaders nodded as plans were finalized. Despite the danger ahead, the unified front of the ninja world radiated a sense of hope and determination.

The Cult's Last Stand

Meanwhile, in the depths of their stronghold, Keji paced nervously. "The ninja world is mobilizing too quickly! We're running out of time!"

"Master Keji, our forces are dwindling," a cultist reported hesitantly. "We've lost most of our puppets and members. Assimilation rituals have stalled."

"Enough!" Keji roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "Gather every remaining member! We'll use whatever we have left to complete the ritual. The Evil God's arrival is imminent. Once it happens, we'll rule this world!"

The cultists hesitated but complied. Despite their fear, Keji's resolve was absolute.

"All of this," he muttered, his voice dripping with venom, "because of that Konoha ninja, Reiki. He's the reason we've been forced into hiding. He will pay for this!"

The Stage is Set

As the ninja forces prepared for their final assault, the Evil God Cult braced for their ultimate gamble. The fates of the ninja world and the cult hung in the balance, with Reiki at the center of it all.

The battle for the ninja world was about to reach its climax.
