Amidst the mountains, smoke signals were rolling up, indicating the fierce battle that took place here before.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Two figures, one big and one small, arrived at the battlefield at a moderate speed, impressively, they were Watergate and Tsunade.
Under Tsunade's insistence, Shinji was carried on her back.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Sho Sho walked in front of them.
"Where's Chiyo?"
Tsunade glanced at the corpses on the ground, her eyebrows raised, and her voice was filled with anger.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked at each other, the former smiled bitterly and said: "She ran away."
Tsunade's pretty face was slightly angry, but she naturally expected this result, then her eyes fell on Sho Sho, who was covered with bruises.
Watergate on the side smiled and said: "Tsunade -sama, let me take care of Shinji senpai, my physical strength has recovered a little."
After Tsunade detoxified the poison on Shinji's body, she used medical ninjutsu to treat Watergate's injuries.
He was already using Chakra, so he was not seriously injured.
The former nodded and handed the rope tree on his back to Minato. Minato lifted one of his arms and placed him on his shoulder.
Tsunade came in front of Sho Sho, the light of Chakra lingered on her hands, and she placed it on the wound.
Sho Sho did not resist, he knew that this was Tsunade's way of treating his injuries.
"This time, fortunately, you formed a survey team, otherwise, our situation would be very dangerous."
Tsunade said, when Sho Sho made this suggestion, she felt that it was unnecessary.
But now it seems that this decision of Sho Sho saved Wood Leaf's reinforcements, and also saved Wood Leaf's frontline troops.
Without these resources, it could be said that they were struggling in the Country of Rain.
Sho Sho shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm just doing my job. Has the poison in Rope Tree been cured?"
Tsunade nodded.
"The losses have been calculated, right?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and asked.
Jiraiya nodded and told him about the loss of manpower and resources.
The reinforcements lost half of their members, and their leader Sarutobi Chiba also died in this ambush.
The loss of materials was not that serious. After all, they were all sealed in scrolls. Even if the person in charge of transportation died, most of the scrolls were still intact.
However, after Tsunade heard this, her slender and white hands were already tightly clenched, and her veins and blood vessels were faintly visible.
"This information leak must be reported to Sandaime Naruto immediately. Otherwise, we will be controlled everywhere in the Country of Rain!"
Tsunade said angrily. Obviously, even they didn't know the specific route of Wood Leaf's reinforcements, but the Sand troops were able to choose such a precise ambush location and set up an ambush plan.
If Sho Sho's reconnaissance team didn't happen to survey here, they wouldn't even know that the reinforcements were completely destroyed.
The other three nodded solemnly.
Orochimaru squinted his eyes and said, "But this time, the Sand lost nearly 300 elite ninjas. With their strength, it was a great loss. Coupled with Chiyo's escape, they basically can't stand on the battlefield of the Country of Rain."
In the Second Shinobi World War, the three major ninja countries fought with the Country of Rain as the battlefield. Wood Leaf was passive twice, and the remaining two major ninja countries suffered heavy losses.
The Rock's army was completely destroyed, and the Sand's army suffered heavy losses. Even Chiyo, who was considered a senior in the Shinobi world, fled.
In the entire Country of Rain, there was no force that could compete with Wood Leaf's army.
However, this doesn't mean that the Second Shinobi World War will end here.
The real war can be said to have just begun after this battle.
"This is a great victory for us. Everyone has worked so hard for so long, and it's time to take a good rest … and report the heroic performance of all the ninjas in these two battles to the village."
Jiraiya said with a smile. He was also relieved that the situation of the war had turned out like this.
"In this battle with the Sand, Brother Sho Sho deserves to be the biggest hero." Jiraiya patted Sho Sho's shoulder and said with a smile.
Tsunade and Orochimaru obviously didn't have much objection, but Sho Sho heard this and shook his head.
"I don't deserve to be the biggest hero. Without your understanding and support, I wouldn't have formed this reconnaissance team."
Sho Sho waved his hand and looked at the thin figure next to Sho Sho and said, "If it's about merits, the biggest contributor should be Watergate."
The three heard this and were stunned.
Even Watergate himself was the same.
Sho Sho smiled bitterly and said, "Even I can't compete with Chiyo of the Sand Village, and if Jiraiya and Orochimaru didn't arrive in time, I'm afraid I would have been killed by her."
"The huge summon beast that allowed the two of you to come in time should be this kid's method, right?"
He pointed to Watergate on the side. Jiraiya and Orochimaru nodded and said, "Yes."
"And he also saved the grandson of First Daimyo Naruto, and seems to have killed several enemy Jonins before. He is undoubtedly the biggest contributor in this battle." Sho Sho added.
"Oh, so it's true."
Orochimaru laughed. Although Shinji was only a temporary Chunin, his identity was special. After all, he was one of the few children of First Daimyo Naruto.
Jiraiya, as a teacher, naturally smiled and nodded, and Watergate saved Shinji's life, so Tsunade naturally had no objection.
Seeing the praise of the four people, Watergate quickly waved his hand and said, "Four-sama, I don't dare to accept this. With my ability, I'm not the opponent of Chiyo, nor can I solve the poison in Shinji Senpai's body. I just did what I could."
"However, without your idea, Jiraiya and Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to save Sho Sho in time, and I wouldn't have been able to solve the poison in Shinji Senpai's body." Tsunade stepped forward and patted Watergate's shoulder, his eyes were full of praise.
"That stupid Jiraiya's apprentice is so good, it's really a little envious." Tsunade laughed.
Jiraiya, who was behind her, didn't feel depressed because of Tsunade's sarcasm. Instead, he laughed.
No teacher would be unhappy and gratified when they see their apprentice's excellence.
Watergate still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Sho Sho.
Because in any case, although Watergate's strength was far from the strongest in Wood Leaf's army, his wisdom did indeed save the entire battle.
He was, without a doubt, the greatest contributor to this battle!
It's just that they didn't know that in the previous battle with the Rock, the person who saved Wood Leaf's army was also this boy in front of them.
Although today's Watergate doesn't have the super strength of Wood Leaf's Golden Flash, on the battlefield, he can still play the power to change the situation.
