Chapter 236: Return to Camp! The decisive battle is about to begin! Three more updates!
The beliefs of the Kawanin were commendable!
But facing Jiraiya, a Kage-level expert, and nearly twenty elite Konoha Ninja, it wasn't as simple as it sounded!
Under the onslaught of various Fire Release, Earth Release, and large-scale Genjutsu, dozens of elite Kawanin only lasted a few minutes before their lines completely collapsed!
And Jiraiya and his group, at the moment the Hidden Rain Village's new wave of reinforcements arrived, fled the area with Fujiwara Tetsuya!
... "What... Tetsuya-kun! You said you killed Inmemaru..."
On the way to the Konoha Camp, Jiraiya, Uchiha Mikoto, and others learned more detailed accounts from Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Compared to Sato Aowa, Uno Sae, and others, Jiraiya, who had seen many major battles, barely managed to keep his composure when Fujiwara Tetsuya spoke about the first half.
After all, whether it was the achievements in Land of Whirlpools, or the battles in Kawanin Village and Kong Ninja Village, they all, to some extent, demonstrated Fujiwara Tetsuya's strength.
However, when Jiraiya heard that Fujiwara Tetsuya had killed Inmemaru in a desperate situation, even a Kage-level expert like Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
As the Deputy Commander of the Konoha front lines, Jiraiya had fought Inmemaru many times in past wars.
Therefore, he was very clear about Inmemaru's strength; he could definitely be called a powerful Ninja.
"That's right!"
"If I had to say, it was just luck!"
"What's wrong, Lady Tsunade!"
"It sounds like you and that guy are quite familiar with each other?"
"No! Nothing... My mind is a bit jumbled! I need some quiet..."
It seemed the amount of information carried by this incident was too great for Jiraiya to accept.
After waving his hand, Jiraiya jumped directly off the ox cart.
... When Fujiwara Tetsuya woke up again after his unconsciousness, he was already in the infirmary of the Konoha Camp.
Inside the simple tent, busy figures were everywhere, along with the strong smell of herbs.
"Captain Tetsuya... You're awake!"
"Please wait a moment! I'll go inform Lady Ryoui right away!"
Not long after Fujiwara Tetsuya opened his eyes, before he had fully recovered, the first girl to notice his awakening had already darted out of the tent.
Perhaps Torifu Ryoui was near the tent; in just three minutes, Torifu Ryoui and two other Medical Ninja appeared within Fujiwara Tetsuya's sight.
However, compared to these, what surprised Fujiwara Tetsuya even more was... the figure that followed closely behind!
"Lady Tsunade!"
Looking at the figure in front of them, everyone busy in the tent seemed to have been paused.
They all turned to look at Tsunade, expressing their admiration, respect... and awe!
"Kid! It seems you're recovering well!"
"It wasn't a waste of my two hours!"
It was still the familiar tone!
However, this time, Fujiwara Tetsuya... couldn't be tough in front of Tsunade no matter what.
He was very clear about his injuries.
Unless he was sent back to Konoha, only Tsunade could save his almost shattered right arm at this front-line camp.
"I'm truly sorry to have troubled you!"
"I will remember this kindness in my heart!"
"Kindness... forget it!"
"Kid! You did well this time!"
"Killing Inmemaru and damaging the Hidden Rain Village to that extent!"
"Because of you, the decisive battle between the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha... is not far off!"
After a simple check of Fujiwara Tetsuya's recovery, Tsunade tossed her hair and left.
It wasn't until Tsunade left that everyone in the tent finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, for ordinary Ninja, no matter how gentle Tsunade was, there was still an insurmountable gap between her and them.
It was strength! It was class! It was also power!
Meeting those envious and admiring gazes, Fujiwara Tetsuya gradually understood the reason for Tsunade's change in attitude.
Ultimately, without a mandate from heaven, the only thing that could quickly change others' perceptions of him was strength.
It was precisely because he killed Inmemaru that he received the respect he deserved!
"Ryoui! Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"I know my own body!"
"Don't forget! I also know Medical Ninjutsu!"
"Based on my self-healing ability, my right arm can be fully recovered in ten days at most!"
As the crowd dispersed, Torifu Ryoui, just like two years ago, quietly leaned beside Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Tetsuya-kun! I heard everything about the Hidden Rain Village from Mikoto!"
"This time! You were too reckless!"
"If... if Lady Tsunade and the others hadn't arrived in time!"
"You would probably have already died in the Hidden Rain Village!"
"Ryoui! I know... there won't be a next time!"
"After all, in that situation, who could have known that Inmemaru would return to the Hidden Rain Village..."
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's coaxing, Torifu Ryoui finally stopped her scolding, allowing Fujiwara Tetsuya to temporarily pass the first hurdle.
"By the way! Ryoui!"
"Where's Mikoto!"
According to usual practice, whenever he was injured and hospitalized, Uchiha Mikoto would stay by his side day and night during his unconsciousness.
Because he hadn't seen Uchiha Mikoto, Fujiwara Tetsuya had already imagined several painful scenarios in just a few tens of seconds.
"Mikoto and the members of the Twenty-Seventh Division were assigned a new mission by Lord Orochimaru after returning to camp!"
"Because you killed Inmemaru and destroyed one-third of the Hidden Rain Village, the news has already reached the Hidden Rain front lines!"
"The Hidden Rain Ninja, led by Hanzō, have reignited a large-scale battle!"
"Currently, in the camp, besides the necessary personnel on standby, including Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru, everyone is on the front lines fighting the Hidden Rain Village Ninja!"
"So that means Lady Tsunade wasn't exaggerating just now!"
"It seems the decisive battle between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village is indeed not far off!"
Glancing at his right arm, Fujiwara Tetsuya sighed, having no choice but to temporarily suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He secretly prayed that the main forces of the Hidden Rain, led by Hanzō, could hold out against Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others for a little longer.
At least, until his injuries healed, before the true decisive battle began.
Whether it was the upcoming battles or the famous scene of the Three Sannin being sealed, he didn't want to miss them.
As one of the few Medical Special Jonin in the Konoha front-line camp, Torifu Ryoui was far busier than imagined.
After chatting with Fujiwara Tetsuya for half an hour, urged by two Medical Chunin, she had no choice but to leave Fujiwara Tetsuya and dedicate herself to her work as a Medical Ninja.
This boring period of lying still lasted until deep into the night.
Only then did Fujiwara Tetsuya see Uchiha Mikoto's blood-stained figure.
"Mikoto! You're here..."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya quickly adjusted his facial expression, also putting on a fawning face.
However, he was only met with Uchiha Mikoto's cool response.
Clearly, compared to Torifu Ryoui, the long-haired girl in front of him was not as easy to coax as he had imagined.
