On the contrary, the Cloud Ninja of the Land of Lightning are now active on the battlefield.

They were focused on seizing territories surrounding the Land of Earth, and didn't participate much in the struggle for the Land of Rain's territory.

Meanwhile, the battle within the Land of Rain's territory was nearing its end, with the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth no longer harboring any intention of seizing the Land of Rain's lands.

The current battle is gradually shifting towards a scenario where the Land of Fire faces the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth faces the Land of Lightning.

At this moment, Zhang Ye and his squad had already withdrawn from the Komuro Mountains. They had just received orders to return to their unit and await further instructions.

All five of them had scars on their bodies, and their clothes had been reduced to rags.

The three women were the most distressed, as they hadn't showered for half a month. For women who value cleanliness, this was worse than death.

Nakata Heikaku looked tired as she supported Yun Jian Huizi, her eyes glancing around as if searching for something.

Kato Yuna slumped against Kusama Masato, letting him carry her on his back. Her face would occasionally brush against Kusama Masato's clothes, leaving a stain on them.

"Sister Tsuru, I want to take a bath!" Yun Jian Huizi looked at Nakata Hei Tsuru expectantly.

The latter sighed and said, "Sister He also wants to take a bath, but I can't find a place with water. Huizi, please bear with it a little longer. We'll take a good hot bath when we get back to the army, okay?"

"Yes, Keiko understands!" Keiko Yunjian looked somewhat sickly, and her face was slightly flushed.

Her upper and lower eyelids were drooping, as if they might close at any moment.

Nakata Heizuku, preoccupied with searching for water, failed to notice the exhaustion and sickness on Yunma Keiko's face.

Whoosh!!

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, shirtless, jumped down from the treetop; his only remaining garment, trousers, was also tattered.

One pant leg was longer than the other, making him look like someone who came from a slum.

"Captain, it's safe ahead, let's continue!" Zhang Ye said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Yun Jian Huizi's pretty face.

"Keiko? Keiko?" Zhang Ye called out twice, walked to Keiko's side, touched her forehead, felt the temperature emanating from it, his expression changed, and he said to Nakata Heikaku, "Captain, Keiko seems to have a fever. We must find a place to treat her as soon as possible!"

On the battlefield, even a minor fever can be fatal.

Their long hours of travel and lack of hygiene greatly increased the risk of death.

"What?" Nakata Heikaku quickly looked at Yun Jian Huizi in his arms. Her tone was a little anxious as she asked, "What should we do?"

"Let's find a place to live as soon as possible and settle Huizi down!"

Masato Kusama said, "Captain, leave this to me for now!"

After saying that, he formed the "Ren" seal with both hands.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

boom! !

Suddenly, three puffs of white smoke appeared around him, revealing three shadow clones that looked exactly like him.

The three of them nodded to each other and immediately ran off in different directions, while his true form stood on the treetop, gazing into the distance.

Zhang Ye looked around, then quickly peeled a large piece of bark from a willow tree and made a wooden bowl.

Fill it with water created by the Water Escape Technique.

Zhang Ye's hands immediately turned bright red, and the water in the bowl began to boil in no time.

He washed the bark he had just torn from the willow tree and put it inside.

A moment later, the water in the bowl turned brown. Zhang Ye withdrew the water from his hands and handed the wooden bowl to Nakata Heikaku, saying, "Captain, let Keiko drink the willow water. It's a bit hot, so be careful!"

Nakata Heikaku looked at the willow water in Zhang Ye's hand with suspicion and asked, "This... is it drinkable?"

"Don't worry, it's safe to drink. Willow bark is rich in salicylic acid, a compound similar to aspirin... cough cough!"

When Zhang Ye saw the strange expression on Nakata Heizo's face as he spoke, he quickly stopped talking. What he was saying was all about chemical knowledge on Earth, and the Naruto world was still a long way from being fully developed.

"In short, this is a natural fever reducer, and it works very well!"

Back on Earth, Zhang Ye loved to travel. Once, during a trip with his group of seven, five of them suddenly developed a fever, and they hadn't brought enough fever reducers.

Moreover, the nearest hospital was two days away, and if one of them hadn't been a medical student, the five of them might not have been able to make it to the hospital.

At that time, the bark used was from willow trees along the riverbank!

"I understand, thank you, Zhang Ye!" Nakata Heikaku said to Zhang Ye with gratitude in his eyes.

Zhang Ye waved his hand and said, "We're in the same team, there's no need to say such things!"

After a while, Masato Kusama jumped down from the treetop and said to them, "There is a lake and a cave in the southwest. Let's take Keiko there first!"

"can!"

Nakata Heikaku picked up Yun Jian Huizi and immediately ran southwest.

Zhang Ye and Masato Kusama exchanged a glance and then ran after him.

They walked through the woods, and a huge lake appeared before them, with dark red soil on the ground around it.

It is clear that a battle took place here, and judging from the scale, it was a large-scale battle.

Nakata Heizuku led Yunma Keiko directly into the cave, and Kato Yuna followed.

"Masato, set up some traps here!" Zhang Ye said to Masato Kusama.

"Understood!"

Masato Kusama squatted on the ground and began setting up the trap.

"Who are you?" a childish voice called out to them.

Chapter 85 Card Exchange

"Who are you? Why are you in our base?"

A child's voice rang out, and Zhang Ye and Kusama Masato immediately forgot about the past.

There were three of them, two boys and one girl, who looked to be around eleven or twelve years old.

The little girl with sky-blue hair was tugging at the sleeve of the boy with orange hair, her face showing panic.

She whispered in the boy's ear, "They are Konoha ninjas!"

"So what if they're Konoha ninjas? Do you think they can just steal our territory?" the little boy said righteously, then paused, muttering, "Konoha... ninjas?"

The little girl's body was still trembling slightly, clearly terrified of Zhang Ye and his group.

Masato Kusama tried to appear as amiable as he walked towards the three of them.

"you……"

"Don't come any closer!"

The little boy with orange hair quickly stood behind the two children behind them. Although his body was trembling, his eyes revealed a resolute look.

"Calm down, calm down!" Masato Kusama quickly said, extending his hand, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

“We mean no harm. We just need to borrow your… base to heal my partner!” Masato Kusama explained.

Behind the boy with orange hair was a boy with red hair.

Upon seeing the trio, Zhang Ye was taken aback; they looked so familiar.

This is clearly the trio of Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan!

"To heal a fellow soldier?"

Yahiko glanced at his two companions and said, "Why should I believe you?"

"Based on strength!"

Zhang Ye's icy voice came from behind Kusama Masato. He stepped to Masato's side and looked at the surprised Yahiko and the other two.

"We are stronger than you. These are chaotic times, and only the strongest can solve problems!"

"You guys!!" Yahiko's face showed a hint of anger as he clenched his fists.

Although he was furious, he did not lose his mind. He knew that the three of them were far weaker than Zhang Ye and his group. If they rushed in rashly, they would surely die!

"robber!"

Nagato said in a low voice, his eyes revealing hostility.

He never had any goodwill towards the ninjas of Konoha, after all, his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and he now harbored great hatred for Konoha.

Zhang Ye ignored their angry and resentful gazes, and even disregarded the words of Masato Kusama, who was trying to stop him.

"We are now requisitioning your base as our temporary residence. You'd better not approach this place lightly, or else!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Ye's eyes, and suddenly he pulled out several shurikens and shot them to their feet.

They were startled by Zhang Ye's sudden attack and quickly retreated, staring at him in horror.

They never expected that a boy of similar age would attack them so suddenly.

Yahiko and Nagato were furious, but were held back by the only woman among them.

"Yahiko, Nagato, calm down! We're no match for them. I don't want you to go and die!" Konan said, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Nagato and Yahiko.

Hearing Xiao Nan's dissuasion, the two men slowly loosened their clenched fists and glared at Zhang Ye with hostility.

He left without looking back.

Masato Kusama came to Zhang Ye's side and complained, "Weren't you a little too harsh just now? They're just kids."

"Children?" Zhang Ye glanced at Masato Kusama and said, "Who isn't one?"

After saying that, Zhang Ye walked towards the cave.

"Uh..." Masato Kusama scratched his cheek and said with a wry smile, "It really is!"

Inside the cave, Nakata Heikaku used the straw mats and some rags that were originally in the cave to cover Yun Jian Huizi with a blanket. Hearing the footsteps of Zhang Ye and Kusama Masato, he ordered without turning his head, "You two go and fetch some water. Zhang Ye, heat up the water. Masato, go and find some wild vegetables and fish. Huizi is not feeling well and can't eat those hard, dry rations anymore!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Zhang Ye and Masato Kusama emerged from the cave and headed towards the lake.

"Masato, I'll take care of the hot water and the fish. You just need to go find some wild vegetables!" Zhang Ye said to Kusama Masato.

"I see!"
