Chapter 55: Chapter 055: Battle Situation
With loud rumbles shaking the area, the ninjas shouting, the fighting intent soared, and Konoha collided fiercely with the huge force from Sunagakure.
When the ninjas fought together, there suddenly came over a dozen loud noises…
*Bang*
*Boom*
*Boom*
After the smoke cleared, more than a dozen purple snakes appeared on the battlefield, constantly devouring the ninjas of Sunagakure.
These summoned snakes were produced by Konoha's ninjas using Orochimaru's summoning jutsu. Orochimaru, the Commander of Konoha, himself faced Chiyo of the Sand in battle, and the two sides were too busy in battle against each other to interfere in the other parts of battlefield.
This large scale ninja massacre was very fierce. Everyone who saw that scene were left with a feeling of boiling blood.
Just at the beginning of the war, there were massive casualties. There were broken limbs and corpses everywhere.
Although being a ninja is a profession wandering in the dark, it's undeniable that most ninjas loved their village. When ninjas fight for their respective villages, this 'love' emotion becomes a belief, leaving them fearless.
There were even a lot of seriously injured ninjas who were reluctant to retreat from the battlefield. They would rather do all they could till their last breath to perish with the enemy than to step back at this time and let the ninja on the other side look down on them.
*Boom*
Several ninjas again used [Summoning Jutsu] together. A huge Katsuyu appeared on the battlefield, and then the Katsuyu's body quickly divided into hundreds of small Katsuyu. The small Katsuyu travelled through the battlefield to treat the injured Konoha ninjas.
"Tsunade!" Chiyo, who was currently entangled with Orochimaru, suddenly showed a very ugly expression and shouted, her offensive became even more ruthless.
Before Tsunade arrived at the frontline, Sunagakure had already learned that she was coming to the frontline. But after several days of fighting, she never showed up. Later, Sunagakure got another piece of information. It wasn't Tsunade who came to the frontline, but Tsunade's disciple, Senmei Asahi.
But when this giant Katsuyu appeared on battlefield, Chiyo knew that they was fooled.
According to the information they were provided with, Tsunade's disciple, Senmei Asahi was only ten years old this year. How could it be possible for such a small kid to let his blood draw out Katsuyu for group treatment? The amount of chakra alone needed for it couldn't be achieved by a ten year old.
Ebizo, who was besieged by several jonin, also obviously thought of this, and immediately freed himself from his battle for a moment and instructed a nearby ninja, "Immediately send a sensory-type ninja along with our elites, at least four teams or more and find out Tsunade's position."
Sieged by Konoha's jonin again, Ebizo's face became uglier due to another thought.
Now that Tsunade had appeared proving their information wrong, had Jiraiya really returned to Konoha? Or was he hiding somewhere in the dark at this moment, ready to give them a fatal blow?
It was at this time after the war had started that Konoha had taken the upper hand, and the imposing manner that Sunagakure was showing at the beginning was being overwhelmed.
Compared to the Sunagakure, which fought in small groups and there was no overall perspective. The battle on Konoha's side seemed to be both offensive and defensive, and every advance and retreat were quite orderly. There were even scenes of hundreds of ninjas releasing ninjutsu at the same time.
Asahi's initially anticipated bitter battlefield did not appear at all.
Ever since this battle started, all of Sunagakure ninjas were fighting in small teams, and compared to the number of Konoha's ninjas they were facing, it's not an exaggeration to say that they were almost like fighting alone.
However, on Konoha, at first they brought a combination of ninjutsu to Sunagakure including, Wind-style, Lightning-style, Earth-style, Water-style, and Konoha's strongest Fire-style. Cooperating them with each other, Sunagakure's momentum was suppressed on the spot.
And of course all of this was the credit of Konoha's brain, Nara Shikaku.
During the Second Great Ninja War, Shikaku, just like Minato, had just stepped out of the academy for a few years. Just like the current Asahi, they could not play any decisive role in that war.
However, with the passage of time, the original genin had grown completely. Now, Orochimaru could even give Shikaku full command of the battle, and let him take over his role as Commander-in-Chief.
Of course, Sunagakure still had cards to play. Since they dared to go to war against Konoha, it wasn't just because of a moment of impulsiveness.
As Rasa joined the battle, a large amount of gold dust appeared on the battlefield. The previously ferocious purple giant snakes, in an instant, were obscured and squeezed by gold dust, countless Konoha ninja also started getting drowned under the gold dust.
The battle was fierce, but as part of the supporting medic team, Asahi did not need to fight against Sunagakure physically, but as the battle continued, Konoha's ninja began to suffer casualties, and he also became extremely busy.
He commanded the medical-nin to divide the wounded into two categories, and treat them on the spot if the injuries were not serious. After treating the wounds a little, they were allowed to go back and rejoin the fight against Sunagakure. As for those ninjas who were so badly injured that they were unable to continue fighting, they were immediately escorted to the medical camp in the rear and they over there would take over the treatment.
To be honest, the medic team in the rear were not helpful at all to the battle situation on the frontline, but their role couldn't be ignored.
The medic team in the rear was a heart-strengthening agent in the heart of every Konoha ninja fighting in the frontline. With the existence of these medical-nins, even if a frontline ninja suffers a serious injury, as long as he could still breathe his way back to the camp, he could receive treatment.
It was because of this idea that Konoha's ninja were able to fight to death.
Faith supported them, and medic team supported their faith.
"What are these guys doing here?!" He was helping a Konoha ninja to heal the wound, and Asahi suddenly heard a medical-nin yelling from the side.
Asahi turned around, and it turned out that a team of more than twenty people of Sunagakure have broken through the defensive line of Konoha ninjas and rushed towards their camp.
"Leave them alone and continue treatment!" Asahi shouted low.
"But ..." The medical-nin was not very old, he was only a twenty-one year old ninja. Compared to him, an old bird who had been mixing a period of time on the frontline, he was obviously a rookie who was probably on his first deployment to the battlefield.
"Don't worry, someone will help us stop them." Asahi said.
Sure enough, at this moment, a team of Konoha ninjas rushed from the side and intercepted the sand team.
"Hoh…" The medical-nin sighed, finally relieved.
"Learn to trust your companions!" Asahi said seriously.
"I understand, Captain Asahi!" The medical-nin said firmly, and then continued to treat the injured ninja.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"My name is Jili!" Jili said.
"Is it Jili?" Asahi nodded, and started to talk. "Your medical-ninjutsu is very good. Keep it up!"
"Yes sir!"
Asahi's eyes narrowed and he looked at the medical-nin called Jili, secretly thinking about it.
'This guy's medical-ninjutsu is very good. If I can get closer, maybe I can use him to do some stuff. At least he's good enough to be an assistant.'
