Chapter 83 Treatment
Chapter 83 Treatment
"These... those Iwa ninja are fleeing?"
The thought flashed through Kurenai Yuhi's mind.
"Xuan Shi, Mo Yan, gather the troops and prepare to retreat!" Bao Shi shouted without hesitation.
"Yes, sir."
The two Iwagakure Jonin were surprised, but did not question them and immediately responded.
Soon, the Iwa ninja gathered together and quickly evacuated.
Kurenai Yuhi led a dozen or so Konoha ninjas forward, attempting to hold them off.
"Earth Release·Rock Pillar!"
With his hands slamming down, Bakushi created massive rock pillars that rose from the ground, blocking the Leaf Village pursuers.
He instantly moved to the side of the rock pillar and slapped his palms rapidly against the pillar wall.
He used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese martial arts) to drive stacks of explosive tags into the rock pillar.
A sudden sense of alarm rose within her, and she shouted urgently, "Retreat!"
The enemy's rock pillars did not attack the Konoha team directly, but instead landed on the side closer to the Iwa ninja, which was clearly abnormal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the rock pillars exploded from the inside, sending fragments of rock flying everywhere.
Several Konoha ninjas who were unable to dodge were hit by the flying rocks, instantly becoming bloody and mangled, and collapsing to the ground.
The two teams of Iwa ninja quickly regrouped and retreated from the Konoha camp to the northeast.
Kurenai looked around; wounded soldiers were everywhere, and it was impossible to pursue them.
He gave the order in a deep voice:
"Feng Che, take some men and keep watch around the camp to prevent the Iwa ninja from turning back."
"Zhihao, you take your men and work with the medical team to treat the wounded and check if there are any surviving Iwa ninja."
After a pause, he added, "Treat any surviving Iwa ninja as well, and capture them."
"Yes, sir." The two Konoha Jonin accepted the order and left.
Kurenai Yuhi recalled Jiraiya mentioning the battle at Red Rock Canyon yesterday, where the bodies of the Konoha ninja who sacrificed their lives could not be brought back due to the emergency retreat.
The remains of the Iwa ninja today, especially the living prisoners, may become bargaining chips in the future.
Xingyuan Qianshuo saw that Yan Shinobu had joined up and retreated, and did not pursue them further.
He slowly surveyed the battlefield—the flat land was no more.
The scene was filthy and chaotic, a complete mess, with severed limbs mixed with broken stones and wood, and blood staining the soil dark red.
The Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas lay sprawled on the ground, some still groaning, while many more were already silent.
The stench of blood, dust, gunpowder from exploding tags, the burning smell of fire-based techniques, and the pungent, fishy stench of ruptured internal organs... all these odors mingled together, suffocating the senses.
The cruelty of war is laid bare before our eyes.
His senses of sight, smell, and hearing were all intensely impacting his mind.
The focus he had been on during the intense battle gradually faded, his heartbeat quickened, his breathing became heavy, and a feeling of nausea rose in his throat.
He forcibly suppressed his physical discomfort, composed himself, and walked to the side of a Konoha ninja with a ruptured abdomen, silently beginning to treat him.
He treated many wounded people yesterday, but his feelings were not as strong as they are now.
Those wounded were, after all, survivors selected from the battlefield.
Even if they are seriously injured, they are still seriously injured survivors.
Many more ninjas had already fallen on the battlefield, and their bodies could not even be recovered.
In Xingyuan Qianshuo's eyes, they were just patients in dire need of treatment.
Although there were more people and more serious injuries, the mood was heavy, but it was far less tragic than what I felt on the battlefield.
After healing the injured person, he simply nodded in response to the person's repeated thanks.
At this moment, the other members of the medical team arrived at the scene.
They had been drawn by the roaring sounds outside the tent and witnessed the latter half of Xingyuan Qianshuo's battle; now, they looked at him with astonishment and admiration.
But the injuries were urgent, and saving lives was paramount; no one had time to talk about it.
"Senior Xin, let's find the most critically injured people and give them first aid," Xingyuan Qianshuo said first.
He formed a hand seal, and with a "bang," two shadow clones appeared beside him.
After continuous battles, his chakra was greatly depleted, and creating two shadow clones to participate in the treatment was already his limit.
He then grabbed a few more ration pills from his ninja tool bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them.
This emergency rescue was more tense and more brutal than last night's.
Hoshigen Chisaku stared blankly as a young ninja stopped breathing in front of him.
Those gradually fading eyes were still fixed on him, their gaze filled with a longing to live.
This person has half of his abdomen torn apart, his spleen is missing, and his intestines and stomach are ruptured. He has been able to hold on until now entirely because of his strong will.
This was the first time he had faced a life that could not be saved.
The unfamiliar ninja's gaze deeply touched his heart.
He almost wanted to take out the item from his inventory—
Even if the other party is just an unknown, ordinary ninja...
Snapped!
Gong Guixin, who was standing next to him, patted his shoulder hard, startling him out of his daze.
Xingyuan Qianshuo suddenly turned his head, and Gong Guixin did not speak, but shook his head with a serious expression.
Xingyuan Qianshuo looked around and saw that everyone was desperately trying to save the wounded.
He was momentarily dazed, but quickly regained his composure and focused on the treatment again.
Half an hour later, most of the wounded were transferred to medical tents after receiving emergency treatment.
During this period, many seriously injured people still could not escape the pursuit of death and ultimately lost their lives.
Xingyuan Qianshuo witnessed the deaths of the four people and his heart was as heavy as a stone.
The resentment deep within him kept piling up—not only against the war and against Iwagakure, but also against himself and this cruel world.
He knew he possessed a life-saving item, but he couldn't use it on these people.
His strength is not enough to use those items at will; once exposed, it will only bring endless trouble.
He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his emotions once again, and continued to devote himself to the treatment work.
Before long, Kurenai Yuhi entered the medical tent.
"Shin, is there anything you need here?" After Shin Miyagi finished treating one of the wounded, Shin Kurenai Yuhi asked.
"Not for now... wait a minute." Gong Guixin said, glancing at Xingyuan Qianshuo who was busy not far away.
The crimson sunset followed.
He already knew the source of the loud noise earlier—it was the powerful ninjutsu used by the young medical ninja.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, a freelance doctor, and Tsunade's lover.
This was Yuhi Shinku's original impression of him, and now there's another one: a powerful medical ninja.
"Senior Shinku, please prepare a large pot of curry rice. Chisaku needs to eat a lot to recover his chakra," said Miyako Shin.
Yuhi Shinku looked slightly surprised, but didn't ask any further questions. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Although Hoshino Senju was focused on treating the patient, he had already noticed when Yuhi Shinku entered.
He didn't think much of their conversation.
Some of his abilities have a clear origin, some are not suitable to be displayed, and some can be explained as self-developed.
"Life Return" can be interpreted as a self-created skill.
Based on extremely strong chakra control, it precisely mobilizes the digestive function of the stomach and intestines to quickly convert food into chakra.
Right now, he does need to replenish his chakra.
The battlefield is not limited to this one place; on the front lines, even larger-scale battles are ongoing.
