Uchiha Ryosuke's final strike not only eliminated the last remaining enemy,
but also allowed him to comprehend the complete kunai throwing technique, 'Hundred-Percent Accuracy'.
As long as a target was within his line of sight, no matter the distance, he could hit it precisely.
Furthermore, the exertion method was enhanced, allowing him to throw the most powerful kunai attacks with the most strength-efficient technique.
Don't underestimate this move.
If used appropriately, it could even achieve unexpected enemy-killing effects.
Uchiha Ryosuke was very satisfied with this.
He nonchalantly turned around, and at this moment, the Konoha Chunin guards also walked towards him.
During the intense battle, he was focused on killing enemies and eliminating threats, so he didn't feel any discomfort.
Now that the heat of battle had subsided and the enemies were no longer a threat,
Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly felt a faint pain spreading throughout his body again.
His wounds, which hadn't fully healed, began to tear open and bleed again at this time.
He endured the pain, his sword-like brows slightly furrowed, as he looked at the young female Ninja who walked up to him.
She also looked up and met his gaze.
"You are from the Medical Team, aren't you?"
"I remember you collapsed in the forest before, and your injuries should have been beyond saving.
That's why we temporarily left you there, but now you..."
The female Ninja, who was around twenty years old, gazed into Uchiha Ryosuke's eyes,
muttering to herself with surprise and some confusion.
"Ah, yes, I got a little injured."
"Please bandage me."
Uchiha Ryosuke said with a carefree smile, then suddenly his eyes went black, and he collapsed onto her.
When Uchiha Ryosuke woke up again, he found that night had fallen.
They were still in the forest.
From the surroundings, it was no longer the clearing where they first clashed with the Hidden Mist Village pursuers.
However, it was clear they were still on the battlefield.
Because the lingering smell of gunpowder and blood in the air,
as well as the elemental residue from various Ninjutsu clashes,
all told Uchiha Ryosuke that this was a real battlefield.
Uchiha Ryosuke turned his head curiously.
He looked at the Ninja guards from the logistics support unit sitting by the campfire.
"You're awake?"
The pretty-faced female Ninja looked over at Uchiha Ryosuke.
A hint of curiosity showed in her bright eyes.
Another male Ninja then spoke up as well:
"Originally, given the extent of your injuries, you should have received further first aid from a Medical Ninja on the spot, or been transported back to the Village."
"But unfortunately, all the Medical Ninja we were escorting have been killed.
We also can't contact your original team, so we can only keep you here."
As this person spoke, the beautiful Ninja stood up.
She brought over a roasted wild chicken and handed it to Uchiha Ryosuke.
She further explained, "We've received a new mission from above; we must now remain on the battlefield and continue fighting.
We need to prevent the Hidden Mist Village's forces from raiding our border."
"Your injuries are recovering very quickly. Since there's nothing serious, you can temporarily team up with us.
We'll retreat once we find your original team or receive new orders.
Anyway, eat something first..."
A few simple sentences quickly clarified the current situation for Uchiha Ryosuke.
The medical unit, originally responsible for supporting the battlefield, treating the wounded, and transporting casualties,
had been ambushed and scattered by enemies from the Hidden Mist Village.
Some were dead, others wounded.
Now, let alone saving people, they were having trouble protecting themselves.
Uchiha Ryosuke had nothing special to say about this situation.
Such was the cruelty of war; in Ninja confrontations, eliminating the healers first was a perfectly normal tactic.
"But are my injuries really recovering this quickly?"
He muttered to himself, subconsciously touching his wounds.
He could feel that they had indeed scabbed over.
However, his body still ached a bit, though fortunately, there were no signs of infection or further deterioration.
"In that case, there's no need to return to Konoha..."
Uchiha Ryosuke thought silently to himself.
His previous decision to return to the Village was mainly due to his injuries.
Now that his body was fine, there was no need to proceed according to the original plan.
As he ate the roasted wild chicken in his hand, he asked the beautiful woman in front of him, "Your eyes are very beautiful. What's your name?"
The female Ninja, who was about to turn back to the campfire,
paused slightly at his words, then turned her head in surprise to look at Uchiha Ryosuke.
The disbelief in her eyes flashed and then faded, and she replied, "My name is Uzuki Sen."
"Uzuki Sen?"
Uchiha Ryosuke mumbled to himself, wanting to ask her what her relationship with Yūgao Uzuki was.
But in the end, he held back and didn't speak.
At this moment, Uzuki Sen also introduced him to the names of the other Ninja.
"He is Sarutobi Shio, this is Hyuga Koji, and he is..."
Uzuki Sen looked at the man lying on the ground next to the two of them,
who seemed to be at the end of his life, and her eyes dimmed involuntarily.
"He is our captain, Aoyama Shinsuke."
Uchiha Ryosuke remembered that the opponent had fought very bravely before and seemed to be a Ninja skilled in Taijutsu.
At that time, the opponent had already been injured fighting the Hidden Mist Village Ninja.
He just didn't expect that after he slept and woke up, the opponent would be dead.
"The battlefield is truly cruel. What should we do now?"
Uchiha Ryosuke quickly finished a roasted wild chicken.
He wasn't reserved at all, as if he had known these Ninja for a long time.
He walked directly to the campfire, picked up the remaining half of the roasted wild chicken, and continued to eat.
Hyuga Koji, seeing his actions, was a little surprised but remained calm, responding, "We are only taking a short break and eating here. We will head to the front line for support soon."
"He means we were waiting for you to wake up."
Sarutobi Shio interjected, explaining.
This person clearly wasn't very good at conversation.
Of course, it was also possible that he simply disliked Uchiha Ryosuke.
So, his attitude at this moment seemed noticeably colder than Uzuki Sen and Hyuga Koji.
Uchiha Ryosuke swiftly devoured the remaining half of the roasted wild chicken in his hand.
He cast a meaningful glance at the other party, then casually tossed the leftover bones in front of him.
Afterward, he ignored the other party's reaction.
He turned around and extended his senses, beginning to scout the surrounding area.
Seeing Uchiha Ryosuke's casual actions,
Uzuki Sen, Hyuga Koji, and Sarutobi Shio exchanged glances, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.
But they did not express their inner thoughts.
Instead, they all looked at Uchiha Ryosuke, whose movements seemed a little strange.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke walked directly towards the front left...
