"They are trying to run." "Stop them." "Don't let them run 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 made enough contributions 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. Just as he was thinking this, a huge monster suddenly appeared on the 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. On top of his head, between the 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 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 Manda, the enemy 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 the matter was similar to what Qingming expected. As soon as Orochimaru appeared, he calmed the scene and stopped more than a dozen Iwagakure jonin with just a few ninjutsu. 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 Iwagakure Village and disrupted their plans. Otherwise, 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 and ran away in a hurry. This is the role of the top strong man, and only one person can change the situation of the battle. The Iwagakure Ninja, who was so majestic just now, became 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 bandage for treating external injuries from the ninja tool bag and began to treat his injuries on his own. In the previous battle, although he did not suffer any serious injuries, 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 was frightened by the scene in front of him. At this time, the battlefield was full of broken limbs, blood and flesh, and the occasional painful groans in the ears. It was good enough to be able to stand. Qingming took a rough look and found that there were about 200 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 lower ninjas. Therefore, most of the more than 200 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 were classmates you knew, what kind of feeling would that be? Qingming was better, he was not familiar with these people, so he didn't feel deeply. But Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were different. The former was good at socializing and had a good relationship with many classmates, while the latter was more careful and remembered everyone.
In this way, the psychological pressure was imaginable. "Qingming, do you think we will die on the battlefield one day?" In silence, Ryosuke suddenly asked. "No" Qingming was about to say "no", but he opened his mouth but didn't say it. As for the Third Ninja World War, the degree of cruelty is no less than any other Ninja World War. It 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! Don't say the middle and lower ninjas, even the upper ninjas died in large numbers. Qingming was not sure that he could survive to the end, so how could he tell Liangjie that he would not die. After a long silence, Qingming said: "Don't think too much, just try your best to live." "Try your best to live" Liangjie murmured and stopped talking. Time passed by minute by minute. About five minutes later. The second batch of reinforcements arrived. This time, there were not only combat personnel, 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 other major ninja villages. Therefore, the survival rate of the injured is far better than that of 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 other way. Medical ninjutsu is too convenient. As long as the chakra is sufficient, 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 omitted. 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. "Okay!" The medical ninja in front of him removed his hand from Qingming's shoulder and instructed: "Don't touch water or do strenuous exercise in the next few days. You will be completely recovered in about three days."
"Thank you!" Qingming thanked him sincerely. "You're welcome." The medical ninja replied and walked quickly to another injured person.
