After suffering heavy casualties, Iwagakure was routed.
Although Konoha suffered a number of casualties, their morale was extremely high.
A young Konoha ninja cast his gaze toward the Shingetsu Nebula in the field, his eyes filled with admiration.
Then came the second, the third... More and more eyes fell on the handsome, almost otherworldly young figure in the center of the battlefield.
They were too exhausted, their breathing was unsteady, and they were injured, so they didn't shout for a moment.
But when beams of gaze converged, Shenyue Xingyun could feel a power. It was an invigorating power, a focused power.
It is also the power of recognition.
A moment later, someone let out a joyful cheer. Soon, the cheers began to spread and eventually became a continuous chorus. Shen Yue Xingyun could even see two ninjas on the verge of their limits roll their eyes and fall backward amidst the cheers.
He spoke up quickly.
"Treat the wounded first."
"We'll talk about the rest when we get back."
……
Konoha Camp.
The crowd was full of people.
Whether they were patrolling ninjas or resting wounded soldiers, everyone was talking enthusiastically about the battles that had taken place during the day.
Occasionally, the wounded would scream in pain as they were treated by the medical staff, but after the screams subsided, they would quickly join the discussion.
"Who do you think was more powerful, Lord Nebula or Lord Minato back then?"
"Of course, it's Lord Minato."
"Yes, when Lord Minato was in power, Lord Seiun was quite famous, but he still couldn't compare to Lord Minato."
The ninja who initially asked the question replied, "I wasn't referring to back then."
"I mean, if we compare Lord Nebula now to Lord Minato back then, who is stronger?"
In the wounded soldiers' camp, some people started talking during their breaks. Pharmacist Nono, who was treating a ninja's injuries with medical equipment, paused upon hearing this, then continued treating the wounds without making a sound, her ears secretly perking up.
"Hmm... that's hard to say."
"I still think Minato-sama is stronger, after all, he is the Hokage."
"Foolish! Only the strong can become Hokage, not the only ones who are strong. I think with Lord Nebula's current strength, he's capable of being Hokage." "Shh!" Someone hurriedly reminded him.
"Let's not discuss this."
"We will only discuss the strength of the Nebula Jonin."
"Oh right, right. Let's only talk about strength." The ninja, feeling guilty after being reminded, looked around and then said, "I think Lord Nebula is stronger. Didn't you see the ninjutsu Lord Nebula used at the beginning of the battle?"
"My God! I've never seen a ninjutsu that can attack so many people. So many Iwagakure ninjas, and most of them were hit by the technique."
"Yeah! They're like headless flies. I wonder what kind of powerful ninjutsu they are."
"Do you think I could become Lord Nebula's apprentice and learn this ninjutsu?"
"Go away, go away, wait until you're asleep to dream. You're not even covered with a blanket yet."
Some people disagreed, saying, "I think Minato-sama is more powerful."
"It's not that Lord Minato was once the Hokage, but that Lord Minato possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Besides the Second Hokage, Minato is the only person who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. This ninjutsu is so powerful that it is almost impossible to find a weakness."
"But Lord Nebula's ninjutsu is stronger than Lord Minato's, isn't it?"
"Perhaps Lord Minato also has powerful methods, but he just hasn't had the chance to use them. Everyone has heard about how Lord Minato was putting out fires everywhere during the Third Shinobi World War."
“That makes sense. Besides, the enemies have a secret agreement that they can abandon their missions unconditionally if they encounter Jonin Minato. That sounds even more domineering.”
"Minato-sama isn't the only strong person who can abandon a mission."
One of the injured sat up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with admiration, and said, "I think this sentence is even more powerful: I gave you a chance to live. Don't blame me!"
A chorus of agreement followed.
Not only in the wounded soldiers' camp, but almost everywhere in the Konoha camp, people were discussing today's battle.
As Yakushi Nonou listened to the news from the ninjas, the course of the battle took shape in her mind.
She was just a little surprised.
According to the ninjas' descriptions, Shingetsu Seiun's strength far exceeded her expectations.
A wide-range ninjutsu capable of blinding the enemy.
Lead your troops to an easy victory.
The attack forced Iwagakure's commander-in-chief, Kyoto, to flee in panic. Keep in mind, this was a formidable enemy that had left Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikamaru helpless.
Yakushi Nonou was terrified.
Her heart was pounding. Several times she hurt the injured person while cleaning the wound, but fortunately everyone was excitedly discussing today's victory and didn't care even though they were in pain.
Besides, who wouldn't have patience for a beautiful medical ninja?
They worked from noon until night, and finally all the wounded soldiers' injuries were treated. The medical ninjas went to rest one after another, and Yakushi Nonou asked for leave under some pretext.
He turned and walked toward the tent in the center of the camp.
Chapter 382 Nonou nods
A figure emerged furtively from the tent, peered around cautiously, and after finding no one nearby, staggered away.
Inside the tent, Shenyue Xingyun used her wind magic to bring fresh air into the room.
Just as he was about to tidy up and get some rest, he suddenly turned around and looked at the door.
Someone is coming.
He was somewhat surprised to sense the familiar chakra.
What is she doing here?
The tent door opened, and Yakushi Nono walked in quietly. As soon as she entered, her brows furrowed slightly.
Smelling the familiar scent in the air, a knowing look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Shenyue Xingyun.
"Has a woman been here?"
“Just a regular friend,” Shenyue Xingyun answered instinctively, then added, “Not the kind of relationship you’re imagining.”
Yakushi Nono did not refute.
She knew the smell in the air all too well; how could you say it wasn't?
'Are you trying to fool me like a child?' she thought to herself.
However, she had anticipated Shenyue Xingyun's 'shamelessness', so although she was somewhat unhappy, she did not show it too obviously, only cursing him as a 'scumbag' in her heart.
This time she really wronged the other party.
Shingetsu Seiun really didn't do anything. Uzuki Yugao's current identity is just his 'ordinary friend,' nothing more. They were just having some ordinary conversation in the house.
It was entirely Uzuki Yugao who used the excuse of "celebrating her triumphant return" and "you are so amazing" to unilaterally cling to Shinzuki Seiun and refuse to let go.
Shenyue Xingyun is also a very principled person.
Uzuki Yugao is still young and hasn't reached the point of improvement yet, so he has been controlling his instincts. Even when the other party uses all their skills, he remains calm and unmoved.
With no other option, Uzuki Yugao had to suppress her own desires and settle for second best, asking Shingetsu Seiun to treat her old injuries again.
Shenyue Xingyun did not refuse this offer.
Perhaps it was because he had been out for many days and had accumulated a lot of energy, or perhaps it was because he felt a little sympathy for Uzuki Yugao who would have to take on more responsibilities in the future, but he had become much more patient.
Even when the other party made unreasonable requests such as "treat it again" or "treat it a few more times," he reluctantly complied.
You could say he's a thoughtful and caring guy.
Seeing the obvious disbelief on Yakushi Nonou's face, Kamitsuki Seiun didn't bother to explain further and asked, "Why are you here so late? What's the matter?"
Yakushi Nonou pursed her lips slightly.
She lowered her head slightly and looked around.
"nothing."
"I just wanted to talk to you about our previous agreement."
"The previous agreement?" Shenyue Xingyun asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else to discuss?"
He remembered that the two of them had already agreed that he would be responsible for bringing Kabuto back safely, and Yakushi Nonou would continue to be his 'girlfriend'.
Oh, and there's also the system-triggered task – it's gotten even worse.
He was still a little worried about how to proceed.
Under his gaze, Yakushi Nonou's expression became somewhat unnatural. After all, not long ago she simply didn't believe that Shinzuki Seiun had boasted that he could end the war single-handedly.
Now it seems I misjudged him.
The power displayed by Shingetsu Seiun was even stronger than that of Danzo, and his actions were also more radical.
The credibility of the other party's guarantee that they would bring Dou Ping'an back immediately increased from 10-20% to 80-90%.
"I just... wanted to confirm it again."
Pharmacist Nonou asked somewhat helplessly, "You'll bring that child back, right?"
A smile appeared in Shingetsu Seiun's eyes as she observed Yakushi Nonou's awkward demeanor with great interest.
"What, are you worried I'll break my promise?"
Yakushi Nonou gently shook her head.
He silently agreed.
The reason is that the situation is different now than before.
Before Shingetsu Seiun defeated Huangtu with overwhelming force, the ninjas of Konoha were all in a state of fear. She also regarded Shingetsu Seiun's promise with a 'let's see if you're just talking big' attitude.
