Kato Mitsukaze, who had just appeared in the treatment room, was dressed differently from his usual dashing appearance. On the contrary, he looked a little disheveled.
On his Jonin Vest, there were many scratches from Kunai and Shuriken, and on his Ninja Combat Uniform, there were also many black dried blood stains and traces of being burned by high temperature.
His short, light blue hair was curled and charred near one side of his temples. This was also the result of being scorched by the high temperature.
Although Kato Mitsukaze looked a little disheveled, he did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries like his three apprentices.
Kato Mitsukaze's originally bright, light blue eyes looked a little dim at this moment, and there was a strong sense of fatigue in his eyes. This was a normal reaction after a big battle.
Before he came to this treatment room, he had just finished a brief meeting with the leader of the Northwest Camp, Takeshi Akimichi. He reported on the situation of the Rock Village's demolition team's raid on the Wood Leaf Stronghold's northern defensive line.
The fierce battle was over, but as the deputy leader of the Northwest Stronghold's stronghold, Kato Mitsukaze still had a series of work waiting for him to do. He only came to Tsunade to check on his seriously injured brother-in-law after he was almost done with his other work.
"Master."
"Master."
When Inuzuka Tsushi and Shibi Aburame heard Kato Mitsukaze's voice, they turned around and greeted him.
"The two of you can go back to your respective beds to rest. You're still bandaged, so don't wait here in the treatment room."
As Kato Mitsukaze spoke, he stretched out his large hand and gently rubbed the hair of the little loli Inuzuka Tsushi.
"But Shengshu was trying to protect us …"
Inuzuka Tsushi turned around and looked at the terrifying burn marks on Shengshu's back, especially the charred skin and the blisters that were oozing thick liquid. She frowned and wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Kato Mitsukaze.
"No buts. Didn't I teach you to protect your comrades in battle? Shengshu did a good job this time. Didn't Shengshu get injured often before? "
Kato Mitsukaze held the hands of one of his apprentices in each hand and sent the two little ones who obviously still wanted to stay here out of the room.
Looking at his two apprentices who were still frowning, Kato Mitsukaze said a famous line from the original manga: "In the world of Ninja, those who violate the rules of Ninja are called trash. However, those who don't know how to value their companions are worse than trash! "
"And I think that if Shengshu, who was facing the explosion and fire at that time, had to choose again whether to protect his companions or escape first, I believe that Shengshu would definitely make the same choice. You two shouldn't blame yourselves for it."
"Claw, Zhiwei, you two are Shengshu's teammates, you are his companions. I also believe that if you were faced with the same choice as Shengshu, you would also protect your companions' safety first."
After comforting his little disciple, Kato Yukaze smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry.
"What's more, Shengshu was only seriously injured, he didn't sacrifice himself. How can there be no casualties in war? This time, Shengshu was only seriously injured compared to his Wood Leaf compatriots who died in battle. He's already very lucky that he was only seriously injured."
"Shengshu has me and Tsunade here, there won't be a problem. If you don't believe in my medical ninjutsu level, then don't you believe in Tsunade-sama's medical ninjutsu level?"
"The injuries you two suffered this time are not light. The most important thing now is to focus on healing your injuries. Don't let Shengshu's painstaking efforts go to waste."
"I think, when Shengshu wakes up and recovers from his injuries, the first thing he wants to see is that the companions he risked his life to save are in a healthy state."
…
Looking at his two apprentices who slightly untied the knot in their hearts, Kato Mitsukaze smiled silently. He recalled his teammates when he just graduated from the Ninja Academy. He thought of his teammate who died in front of him, Dazhi Kikukawa.
Fetters?
Don't Konoha's Ninjas grow up with the bond between their partners, generation after generation?
This is the true essence of the Wood Leaf Village's will of fire.
Fetters, the purest feelings between people, is a kind of entangled relationship that can't be broken even if you want to.
The family fetters between Tsunade and Shengshu, the friendship fetters between Shengshu and Inuzuka Tsuruga, and the love fetters between Tsunade and Kato Mitsukaze.
Family, friendship, love, all of them can be summed up in the fetters.
The will of fire of the Wood Leaf Village is not so much burning the dancing leaves, but burning the various fetters between the Wood Leaf Ninjas.
After sending away his two apprentices, Kato Mitsukaze turned back to the treatment room. There is still a big treasure waiting for him to comfort.
When Kato Mitsukaze came back, Tsunade had just stopped the Heavenly Palm Technique in her hands. She was instructing her assistants to use gauze to do some simple disinfection measures for Shengshu's wounds.
The burn marks on Shengshu's back didn't look much different from when Kato Mitsukaze just left.
This time, the burn on Shengshu's back is really serious. It can't be cured simply by using the Heavenly Palm Technique once or twice.
Before, Shengshu was still able to cry out in pain. That was already the performance of the Senju Clan's strong physique. Ordinary people who encountered Shengshu's burns would have already died.
Just as Tsunade thought, if Kato Mitsukaze's rescue was a little bit slower, Shengshu would have definitely died this time.
Looking at the burn marks on Shengshu's back, Kato Mitsukaze's mind returned to the explosion in the thunderstorm.
In fact, the moment Kato Mitsukaze heard the explosion, he used his fastest speed to return to the stronghold.
But no matter how fast Kato Mitsukaze was, it wasn't a real teleportation.
The Rock Village's explosive force is not a small cannon fodder force. In the ninja world, it is an elite ninja force that is as famous as the Sand Puppet Division. Their explosive raid was well prepared, and they launched multiple explosive attacks at the Wood Leaf stronghold at the same time.
In order to attack Konoha's northern defense line, the Rock Village not only prepared a large number of special explosive tags, but the five Jonins leading the team were also elites of the Rock Village. Two of them even had the special Kekkei Genkai Explosion Release.
When Kato Yukaze returned to the stronghold, he saw that it was a stronghold with flames everywhere.
Even the heavy rain in the Country of Rain couldn't stop the raging fire caused by the special explosive talisman.
In addition to the flames everywhere, there were many scenes of confrontation between the Rock Ninjas and the Wood Leaf Ninjas.
Kato Mitsukaze was able to find and rescue Shengshu and the others before they were completely swallowed by the fire.
The strong wind in the dense jungle, the heavy rain in the sky, the flames and the deafening explosions didn't stop Kato Mitsukaze's thoughts.
At the critical moment, Kato Mitsukaze, as the highest ranking Wood Leaf Ninja at the time, his responsibility as the leader made his mind clearer.
After returning to the stronghold, Kato Mitsukaze judged the situation on the battlefield in a short time.
The stronghold couldn't be defended.
The Rock Ninjas didn't just want to kill a few Wood Leaf Ninjas, they wanted to attack the entire defensive line of the Wood Leaf Ninjas in the north.
The Rock Village's explosives squad was definitely only the first wave of the surprise attack, and there must be a large force of the Rock Village not far behind them.
Kato Mitsukaze had just reached the threshold of a Kage Tier, but he was able to organize the remaining Wood Leaf Ninjas in the stronghold to launch an effective counterattack against the Rock Village's surprise attack. His performance was definitely worthy of his position as the deputy leader of the Northwest Stronghold's main camp.
After analyzing the situation on the battlefield, Kato Mitsukaze increased his speed to the extreme. He borrowed the wind and rain from the rain, and used his extreme speed and invisible wind blades to reap the lives of the Rock Village's explosives squad members.
Kato Mitsukaze did not attack the Rock Village's Jonin first. Instead, he targeted the ordinary Rock Village's Chunin first.
How could the ordinary Chunin keep up with Kato Mitsukaze's speed, not to mention he had the cover of the wind and rain. One by one, the Rock Village's Chunin were silently killed by Kato Mitsukaze's wind blades.
After stabilizing the Wood Leaf Ninjas' formation, Kato Mitsukaze immediately ordered the rescue team to retreat. He sent his salted fish clone to lead some of the Wood Leaf Ninjas to rescue them, while his main body led some of the Wood Leaf Ninjas to continue fighting the Rock Village to stall for time.
In the end, Kato Mitsukaze stayed behind to block the retreat of the Wood Leaf Ninjas after they broke out of the encirclement.
In the storm, under the night sky of the Rain Country, silver-white lightning flashed from time to time, and deafening thunder shook the sky.
In the midst of the explosions, on a nameless mountain in the Rain Country, light blue wind blades danced in the wind and rain.
Kato Mitsukaze's giant wind blades made the Rock Village's Explosives Squad pay a heavy price.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't count the ordinary Chunin who died under his wind blades, two of the five Rock Village's Chunin were killed by Kato Mitsukaze, and one of them was an elite Ninja with a Kekkei Genkai Explosion Release.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't want to fight anymore, he waited for the other Wood Leaf Ninjas to delay enough time to retreat, and then he relied on his own speed to escape before the Rock Village's army completely surrounded him.
The Rock Village's Explosives Squad took advantage of the harsh weather of the Rain Country to successfully raid Konoha's defense line. Konoha's Shinobi who were lucky enough to survive the raid also took advantage of the harsh weather of the Rain Country to successfully break through the encirclement of the Rock Village's Main Force.
The war in the Shinobi World is fair, but the war in the Shinobi World is also the most unfair.
Wood Leaf Ninjas suffered heavy losses in the Thunderstorm Raid, not only did they lose an important stronghold in the Northern Defense Line, but also a large number of Wood Leaf Ninjas were killed.
The Rock Village didn't fare well either, Kato Mitsukaze was an unexpected Kage Tier Ninja, and the Rock Village's Explosives Squad also suffered heavy losses.
However, in the Thunderstorm Raid, the Rock Village won a big victory, at least the Rock Village's strategic goal in the Northern Wood Leaf Village was achieved.
The Rock Village broke through the Northern Defense Line of the Wood Leaf Village and gained the initiative in the war against the Wood Leaf Village.
The scales of victory began to tilt towards the Rock Alliance and the Sand Village.
At least in the eyes of the ordinary Rock Village who participated in the Thunderstorm Raid, the scales of victory began to tilt towards them.
Kato Mitsukaze stopped thinking about the situation of the battlefield and turned to look at the silent Tsunade next to him.
In such a short time, only Tsunade and Kato Mitsukaze were left in the simple treatment room.
The other medical ninjas and nurses who were helping just now, after bandaging Shengshu's wounds, had already left. They knew that their boss was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to provoke Tsunade, so they slipped out early to make room.
"Tsunade."
Kato Mitsukaze gently called Tsunade's name.
Tsunade didn't respond to her boyfriend, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked her brother Shengshu's eyebrows.
At this time, the unconscious Shengshu was fixed on the hospital bed in a very awkward position.
Shengshu not only had burns on his back, but also on his front, so the burned area can't be pressed.
The unconscious Shengshu's eyebrows were wrinkled, obviously he was suffering great pain. From this, it seems that Shengshu and Tsunade's playful conversation before he fainted was probably deliberately done by Shengshu, the purpose was to not let his sister Tsunade worry about him.
However, Shengshu's little thoughts were exposed by his body's instinct after he was completely unconscious.
Tsunade looked down at her brother Shengshu's eyebrows, which had just been smoothed by her for a while, under her eyelids, they couldn't help but wrinkle again.
Tsunade felt a little guilty in her heart.
Tsunade blamed herself for being too rude to her brother Shengshu, she deliberately hurt him during the treatment, wanting to teach him a lesson.
Just like when Shengshu made a mistake when he was a child, Tsunade would beat him according to her own temper and responsibility as an elder sister.
"Tsunade."
Kato Mitsukaze softly called Tsunade's name, his chin was on Tsunade's shoulder, and his hands were wrapped around her slender waist from behind.
Tsunade softly said: "He's very brave, isn't he?"
Tsunade's voice was a little low, a little gentle, not like the cold and angry appearance in front of everyone. She didn't look back, she still looked at the unconscious Shengshu on the hospital bed.
Kato Mitsukaze thought for a moment, and decided to tell Tsunade the truth: "Yes, Shengshu is very brave, he protected Inuzuka Claw and Aburame Zhiwei during the explosion. When I found the three of them, Shengshu used his body to press Inuzuka Claw and Aburame Zhiwei under his body."
"Imperial Wind."
"Un."
"Tell me the details of the battle."
"Okay."
Kato Mitsukaze slightly exerted strength in his arms, he wanted to hug Tsunade's stiff body from behind. He used a gentle and calm voice to tell Tsunade about the Rock Shinobi's raid in the Rain Country.
From the decision to take Shengshu and the other two to escort the logistics, to leaving the three of them to rest in the stronghold, to returning as soon as they heard the explosion, to finally choosing to cover for the other Wood Leaf Shinobi.
Kato Mitsukaze quietly narrated, and Tsunade quietly listened.
Tsunade's body softened, she leaned her whole body weight on Kato Mitsukaze's arms.
"Imperial Wind, thank you, this time if you didn't rescue me in time, I'm afraid that I would be in front of Shengshu's corpse now …"
Tsunade didn't finish her words, Kato Mitsukaze lowered his head and kissed her.
Tsunade just struggled a little, and then began to respond fiercely. She could smell the blood and burnt smell of Kato Mitsukaze's body, but Tsunade didn't show any disgust.
Tsunade felt that the smell of Kato Mitsukaze at this time was the safest smell in the ninja world.
