Minato stared at the palm-wielding Healing Jutsu chakra flowing in Senjutsu's hand, vaguely sensing that it was slightly different from what he had seen in the afternoon, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the difference was.
After the treatment was completed, the group chatted for a few more minutes.
Even after recovering from his injuries, Dekayi was still in high spirits and couldn't help but boast about how he had wreaked havoc at the Iwagakure camp.
Minato and the other two were used to his boasting and did not expose him.
Everyone was exhausted, so after a brief chat, they said their goodbyes and went to rest.
Xingyuan Qianshuo returned to the rest tent and brought up the system interface again.
[You have healed Dekayi's physical injuries, and have received the following reward: Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld (Proficient), Chakra +]
【twenty
[You have healed Kida Maki's blunt force trauma and internal bleeding, and have received the following reward: Water Release: Water Wall (Proficient), Chakra +80]
"Two very useful ninjutsu techniques—no wonder you're a member of Jiraiya's team."
Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind stirred slightly, and he extracted the reward.
Yomi Swamp is a binding type of Earth Release technique frequently used by Jiraiya. It can create large areas of muddy swamps, causing enemies to become trapped in them until they are swallowed up.
This technique has an extremely strong binding effect. Xingyuan Qianshuo is unsure whether it belongs to B-rank or A-rank, but it is undoubtedly a ninjutsu that can be effective even in Kage-level battles.
Water Wall is a B-rank defensive ninjutsu, a water-style technique used by the reanimated Tobirama.
However, the water wall formations and defensive effects vary greatly among different ninjas.
Tobirama Senju can create a waterfall-like flow of water even where there is no water, forming a rotating water wall that provides complete defense.
Based on Maki Kida's experience, he had a vertical wall of water rise in front of him, forming a protective barrier with the surging water flowing upwards.
After receiving the reward, Xingyuan Qianshuo quietly pondered the matter of Jiraiya and the others' sneak attack on the Iwagakure camp.
He couldn't be sure what choice the Tsuchikage Onoki would make, but since this wasn't the Third Shinobi World War, the invasion probably wouldn't last long.
The Konoha camp was peaceful at night, while the Iwagakure camp was in a state of chaos and commotion.
About twenty minutes after the Konoha ninja left, inside the Iwagakure command post.
"Sir, casualty statistics—" Jonin Yosaki's voice trembled slightly, "Forty-seven dead, sixty-eight seriously injured, and the number of minor injuries has not yet been tallied—more than one-third of the camp's buildings have been destroyed."
Huang Tu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He didn't care much about the other Jonin of Konoha, but the young ninja who used space-time ninjutsu was the one who bothered him.
Besides increasing vigilance, Huang Tu couldn't think of a way to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
This sneak attack on Konoha was not just about destruction, but also a demonstration of force.
While Iwagakure can continue to reinforce the front lines, its rear camps will forever be under threat.
After a long silence, he finally decided to report the situation in detail to his father, leaving the decision of whether to fight or retreat to him, the Tsuchikage.
At that moment, someone hurriedly entered the barracks.
"My lord, a medical ninja named Yu has gone missing," reported Teppanyaki, who was in charge of the lookout.
Huang Tu frowned: "Weren't they caught in the crossfire?"
"No. She was still in the medical barracks when the battle ended, and then she went out under some pretext and never came back," Tiepan continued. "I've sent two squads to search the area. Should we send more men?"
The loess soil is silent.
He had an impression of the young medical ninja named Yu, a wandering ninja from the Land of Stone who was skilled in medical techniques and joined the Iwagakure Medical Department after passing the ANBU's review.
Was he a spy, or a coward who fled in fear of war?
The camp is currently in chaos, and medical personnel are focused on treating the wounded, making it difficult to conduct a detailed investigation.
"For now, two small teams will search; there's no need to send more people," Huang Tu said in a deep voice. "Don't publicize this matter, lest it unsettle morale. I will report it to the secret service for further investigation."
"Yes."
Nono, having left the Iwagakure camp, was making the most of the night to travel as fast as she could.
She skillfully concealed her tracks and used scent-eliminating agents to prevent Yan Yin from tracking her.
However, she headed west, not south.
Her false identity in Iwagakure is "U" from the Land of Stone.
Even though she was confident in her counter-tracking skills, she still had to maintain this identity.
If they were caught while heading west, they could still claim that they were simply afraid of war and wanted to escape back to their hometown.
Only after confirming that there are no pursuers will she turn south and truly head back to Konoha.
She left without "Root's" orders and was unsure of what punishment she would face upon returning.
But she was not unprepared.
She also possessed a piece of unreported intelligence, not urgent military information, but information that she had subconsciously kept.
Perhaps deep down, she had already harbored the idea of secretly returning to the village.
Onoki was a visionary Tsuchikage who was always worried that Iwagakure would have no successors, so he conducted many development experiments.
One of them is the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai project.
This information came from a Jonin from Iwagakure who was around thirty years old.
He was born with both fire and earth attributes. He was selected for experiments when he was young, but unfortunately, he did not succeed in the end.
Nonou pretended to admire his experience, which made him reveal a lot of experimental details while he was feeling smug.
This is intelligence from an unsuccessful experiment; it's barely acceptable to use it to complete the task.
However, spies operating in enemy territory have a certain degree of autonomy, and even if their achievements are minor, they should be able to reduce or waive their punishment.
The next morning, Xingyuan Qianshuo woke up early, washed up briefly using water magic, and then left the camp.
In the dim morning light, he took a deep breath of the crisp air, and the fatigue of yesterday seemed to vanish instantly.
He first went to Gong Guixin to inquire about the wounded. Seeing that there were no urgent injuries, he went to the cooking area with Sheci and Hushan for breakfast.
Along the way, many Konoha ninjas greeted them warmly, with most of their eyes falling on Hoshino Senju.
The kitchen area was bustling with people, their hushed conversations rising and falling.
Compared to the tiring night, the early morning is more relaxing.
The group ate a simple breakfast: rice, miso soup, grilled fish, fried eggs, and pickled vegetables.
The chatter of several ninjas at the next table occasionally drifted into my ears: "Did you hear? Yesterday he single-handedly took down dozens of Iwa ninjas, and killed the Iwagakure commander with a single move, even plowing a deep trench in the ground!"
"More than that! People who came back from the front lines said he created five shadow clones and saved over a hundred people in one go, bringing many back from the brink of death!"
"Really? Isn't that a living medical genius? With him around, we feel much safer!"
"Of course! The guy in the bed next to me, Longfu, got stabbed right through the chest, but he was healed in less than three minutes! They all call him the Green Miracle!"
"The Green Miracle—that's a fitting name. A flash of green light, and a person comes to life. What else could it be but a miracle?"
Upon hearing the term "Green Miracle," Xingyuan Qianshuo's face darkened slightly, as if he felt a faint green tinge emanating from the top of his head.
As for one person defeating several thousand Iwa ninjas—that's a bit of an exaggeration; there were more than a dozen Konoha comrades present at the time.
Hushan and Sheci ate while listening to the discussions around them.
Snake Compassion's eyes lit up as she leaned closer to Xingyuan Qianshuo and whispered, "Senior, you've become a celebrity!"
Hu Shan smiled slightly, slowly sipped his miso soup, and said leisurely, "A green miracle—that must be the highest praise for a medical ninja."
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head helplessly and lowered his head to concentrate on eating.
After breakfast, the three of them cleared away the dishes and left.
Along the way, several other rescued wounded people bowed and expressed their gratitude. Xingyuan Qianshuo returned their bows gently, his expression remaining calm.
Snake Ci excitedly whispered to Mutual Goodness, "I also need to work hard to improve my medical ninjutsu so that I can have my own title in the future."
A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"Green Miracle"
—That sounds good too.
