"They are trying to run."
"Stop them."
"Don't let them get away
." "."
Voices rang out one after another on the battlefield.
Obviously, Qingming was not the only one who discovered the intentions of the Rock Ninjas.
Some people tried to stop them, but Qingming remained unmoved.
He had already contributed enough in this battle, and it was about to be stable, so he really didn't want to cause trouble.
However, since the Hidden Rock Village chose to retreat, it meant that the reinforcements from Konoha had arrived, or were not far away.
While thinking this in his mind, a huge monster suddenly appeared from a cliff in the distance.
It was a giant venomous snake with horns on its head and purple stripes all over its body. Its ferocious eyes were full of the pressure of a top predator.
"Ten thousand snakes!"
Qingming murmured.
That's right, this giant snake was the summoned beast from the Ryuchi Cave - Ten thousand snakes.
As for how Qingming recognized it?
It's very simple. Right above its head, between its two horns, stood a sinister man with golden vertical pupils, purple eyeshadow, and pale skin.
Who else could it be if not Orochimaru?
In this way, combined with the image of a giant snake, it is easy to guess its identity.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the first batch of reinforcements.
What Qingming didn't expect was that Orochimaru would come here in person.
You know, the other party is the commander-in-chief of Konoha in the Rain Country battlefield. It is really not right to leave the base camp so rashly.
However, Qingming was relieved when he thought of the other party's strength.
As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru's strength is definitely not weaker than any Kage-level strongman.
With such strength, who can do anything to the other party in a hurry.
What's more, this place is not far from Konoha's base camp in the Rain Country. If there is an ambush, Orochimaru only needs to delay a little time and support will arrive soon.
In this way, leaving the base camp for a short time is nothing.
Moreover, with the presence of Ten Thousand Snakes, the other side can rush to the battlefield in the shortest time and control the situation with absolute strength.
In this way, not only can time be bought for the subsequent reinforcements, but also casualties on the side can be reduced. Killing two birds with
one stone, why not do it?
Afterwards, the development of things was similar to what Qingming expected. As soon as Orochimaru appeared, he calmed the scene. With just a few simple ninjutsu, he stopped more than a dozen Iwagakure jonin.
In this way, counting the people stopped by other Konoha jonin, in terms of jonin alone, almost half of
the jonin who attacked Iwagakure this time were left behind. In addition, dozens of Iwagakure chunins were stopped.
Obviously, Orochimaru's personal arrival was beyond the expectations of the Iwagakure Village and disrupted their plans.
Otherwise, the Iwagakure Village came prepared and should not have retreated so hastily.
That's right, it was hasty.
Otherwise, how could so many people be left behind?
The whistle just now should be an order for an emergency retreat.
That is why, after hearing the whistle, the Iwagakure Chunin who was fighting with him changed his face greatly, and then ran away in a hurry.
This is the role of the top powerhouse, and only one person can change the situation of the battle.
The Iwagakure Ninja, who was so majestic just now, turned into a stray dog in the blink of an eye and was chased away.
However, Qingming did not want to beat the dog when it was down. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he took out the ointment and bandages for treating external injuries from the ninja tool bag and began to treat his injuries by himself.
Although he did not suffer any serious injuries in the previous battle, he had a lot of skin injuries. If he was not treated quickly, there might be some trouble.
Tap, tap, tap~
a sound of footsteps came.
Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko walked over from not far away.
Qingming looked up and saw that the two also had a lot of wounds on their bodies, and their faces were even paler. However, this was not caused by excessive blood loss, but by being frightened by the scene in front of him.
At this time, the battlefield was full of broken limbs and arms, blood and minced meat everywhere, and with the painful groans coming from time to time, it was good enough to be able to stand.
Qingming took a rough look and found that there were about two hundred surviving middle and lower ninjas on the Konoha side, which was about two-thirds of the previous number.
It seems that there are quite a lot, but don't forget that this battle only lasted for more than ten minutes.
Moreover, those rock ninjas specifically targeted the lower ninjas to kill.
Therefore, most of the more than two hundred survivors were middle ninjas, and the death rate of lower
ninjas was definitely more than 50%. And among these 50%, the new lower ninjas accounted for more than half.
Think about it, most of the corpses on the ground are classmates you know, what kind of feeling is that?
Qingming is better, he is not familiar with these people, so he is not deeply touched.
But Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko are different.
The former is good at communication and has a good relationship with many classmates, while the latter is more careful and remembers everyone.
In this case, the psychological pressure is imaginable.
"Qingming, do you think we will die on the battlefield one day?"
Ryosuke suddenly asked in silence.
"No,"
Qingming was about to say "no," but he opened his mouth but didn't say it.
As far as the Third Ninja World War is concerned, the degree of cruelty is no less than any other Ninja World War.
Now is only the early and middle stages of the war, and the casualty rate is not too high, but when Konoha is pushed to the gate of the village, it will be tragic!
Not to mention the middle and lower ninjas, even the upper ninjas died in large numbers.
Qingming is not sure that he can live safely to the end, so how can he tell Ryosuke that the other party will not die.
After a long silence, Qingming said: "Don't think too much, just try your best to live." "Try
your best to live,"
Ryosuke murmured, and no longer spoke.
Time passed by minute by minute.
About five minutes later.
The second batch of reinforcements arrived.
This time, there were not only combatants, but also a large number of medical ninjas.
As the first village to establish a relatively complete medical ninja training system, Konoha has more medical ninjas than the other major ninja villages.
Therefore, the survival rate of the injured is much better than that of the other ninja villages.
Just like now, those medical ninjas, under the protection of some combat ninjas, quickly wandered on the battlefield and used medical ninjutsu to treat the injured ninjas.
Those with minor injuries can recover almost immediately, and those with serious injuries can also temporarily save their lives.
Seeing the skin injuries on his body recover quickly, Qingming decided that he would learn a few medical ninjutsu in the future no matter what.
There is no way, medical ninjutsu is too convenient.
As long as the chakra is enough, some minor injuries and illnesses can be easily cured.
Qingming does not think that he will not be injured in the future, so it is better to be prepared.
Of course, if the physical attributes can be improved to a high enough level so that the body has a certain self-healing ability, then medical ninjutsu can be used.
But that is a long time in the future. The battlefield is so dangerous that one must first learn one or two medical ninjutsu for emergency.
"All right!"
The medical ninja in front of him took his hand off Qingming's shoulder and said, "Don't touch water or do strenuous exercise in the next few days. You will be fully recovered in about three days."
"Thank you!"
Qingming thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome."
The medical ninja replied, and then walked quickly to another injured person.
