The battle was over. Except for one enemy who was left behind by Minato Namikaze, all the others were killed.
Hideichi Hoshita killed six people, Shisui Uchiha and Sanyo Kurama killed three people, and Minato Namikaze took down all the others.
As for the five samurai, everyone was injured and killed zero enemies.
Hideichi Hoshita was responsible for healing the five samurai, while Shisui Uchiha and Sanyo Kurama used illusions to cooperate with Minato Namikaze to interrogate the enemy and obtain information.
The one who stayed behind was a senior ninja with extraordinary willpower.
Half an hour later, Hideichi Hoshita finished healing the five samurai, and Minato Namikaze had already obtained the information.
These ninjas are indeed rock ninjas!
Their purpose is not only to obtain information from the envoy of the Fire Country Daimyo, but also to capture the envoy alive and then put the blame on the Sand Ninja.
Because Konoha and Sand Village are currently in conflict over the River Country, provoking a greater conflict between Konoha and Sand Ninja, or even a war, is of great benefit to Rock Ninja.
As for why they did not directly besiege, but used the tactic of exhausting the enemy first, the reason lies with Minato Namikaze.
Although Rock Ninja has three jonins this time, they are not sure.
Although Minato Namikaze did not win the title of Yellow Flash, he has actually become famous in the ninja world and is also known for his speed.
Unfortunately, Rock Ninja still underestimated Minato Namikaze, and also underestimated Shuichi Hoshita's ability to withstand pressure and their own combat effectiveness.
Especially Shuichi Hoshita, with his unprinted fire escape, high concentration and nerve reaction speed, he is more efficient in killing enemies than Uchiha Shisui.
It's just that the consumption is relatively large.
After the treatment, even though his physical strength has begun to recover, Shuichi Hoshita couldn't help but feel drowsy.
10 times the concentration, the sequelae are a bit big.
"Minato-sensei, let me take care of Shuichi!"
Uchiha Shisui said as he carried Shuichi Hoshita on his back.
Shuichi Hoshita looked heavy: "Shisui, thank you..."
…
Without the burden of the messenger, the speed of returning after dealing with the enemy increased immediately.
Of course, because there were still four sedan bearers, the speed was still not as fast as the ninjas who were just rushing on the road.
In the evening, the group entered the Land of Fire. Shuichi Hoshita was carried by Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo in turn all the way. He also completely recovered and became vigorous again.
In front of the bonfire by the river, while roasting river fish, Shuichi Hoshita thought about the battle during the day and couldn't help asking: "Minato-sensei, you seem to use almost no ninjutsu when you use Flying Thunder God."
He saw Namikaze Minato deal with a Rock Ninja Jonin before, and he didn't kill him with Flying Thunder God in one blow, but was blocked by the hardened skin of the earth escape.
Finally, Minato Namikaze also chose to capture this person.
After hearing the question, Minato Namikaze said with some helplessness: "Because of the fast speed of Flying Thunder God, there is basically no time to seal, and it is impossible to prepare ninjutsu in advance."
"Shuiyi, the teacher does not have your method of no-mark fire escape."
"So the teacher is also trying to create a no-mark ninjutsu to cooperate with Flying Thunder God Technique to attack, but it has not succeeded yet!"
That being said, in fact, the original purpose of creating the no-mark ninjutsu currently being tried is not like this.
"No-mark ninjutsu, too powerful!"
Kurama Sanyo exclaimed, and then asked: "Minato teacher, can you take us with you during the next training?"
Minato Namikaze smiled gently: "Of course no problem."
...
The next day, Shuichi Hoshita and others returned to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire, where they were received by the Daimyo, and also tested several ninjas newly recruited by the Daimyo.
However, the atmosphere this time was not as intense as last time. It was just a simple assessment.
Several ninjas were a little worse than the last batch. They were basically Chunin, without a Jonin.
Afterwards, Shuichi Hoshita was summoned by the daimyo again.
Shuichi Hoshita also recommended several young talents of Konoha to the daimyo.
For example, Kakashi, the youngest graduate of Konoha Ninja School since its founding.
There is also the son of the third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi.
The daimyo was very satisfied with Kakashi, and he had heard of this name.
But he was very doubtful about Asuma Sarutobi.
This is the son of the Hokage!
But the daimyo was soon convinced by Shuichi Hoshita. He only said one sentence: Taking down the son of the Hokage is more influential than recruiting 10 geniuses.
So when Shuichi Hoshita left, he had another 10 million ryo.
As expected of a daimyo, he is rich!
…
On the afternoon of July 31, Shuichi Hoshita and his four companions finally returned to Konoha.
After handing in the task and receiving the money at the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze announced a week off, but made an appointment to see him develop a new technique tomorrow.
After washing and having lunch, Shuichi Hoshita went to Konoha Hospital as usual.
This task took nearly a month, which can be said to be the longest task he has ever taken.
I missed Pharmacist Nono after not seeing him for so long.
When he arrived at Konoha Hospital, Shuichi Hoshita quickly found Pharmacist Nono who was healing the ninja.
"Let me help!"
Shuichi Hoshita stepped forward.
Pharmacist Nono, with sweat on his forehead, looked up and was surprised to see Shuichi Hoshita: "Shuichi..."
Shuichi Hoshita smiled and performed the Palm Immortal Technique to replace Pharmacist Nono.
‐‐However, there seemed to be more injured today, and Pharmacist Nono was not idle.
‐‐Seeing this, Shuichi Hoshita also sped up to help Pharmacist Nono share the pressure.
‐‐Unconsciously, an afternoon passed.
‐‐When the treatment was over, Shuichi Hoshita felt a little exhausted.
‐‐"Good job!"
‐‐A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and then Shuichi Hoshita saw a box of milk in front of him.
‐‐"Thank you, Tsunade-sama!"
‐‐Shuichi Hoshita took it and thanked him, then asked: "Tsunade-sama, why are there so many injured today?"
‐‐"And many of them are poisoned, could it be Sand Ninja?"
‐‐Tsunade nodded slightly: "It's from the River Country."
‐‐Sure enough!
Hideichi Hoshita frowned slightly, but then relaxed.
It was none of his business. He had not reached that level yet. He did not need to worry about it. Improving his strength was the most important thing.
"Tsunade-sama, let's continue training today!"
Hideichi Hoshita said.
"Of course no problem."
Tsunade nodded simply.
If Hideichi Hoshita was not beaten, she would feel a little bored after developing the secret technique.
After greeting Yakushi Nono, the two of them came to the training ground next door to start practicing.
Not only Taijutsu and Fire Release, Hideichi Hoshita also added swordsmanship, especially the Three-Day Moon Dance.
But Hideichi Hoshita also felt that Tsunade was obviously stronger now than before.
The reaction speed was faster and the attack speed was also faster.
Noticing Shuichi Hoshita's surprise, Tsunade snorted, "Kid, don't look down on me."
"Although I am a medical ninja, I am not the kind of medical ninja who can only rely on the protection of my companions."
After hearing this, Shuichi Hoshita hurriedly said, "I don't look down on you, Tsunade-sama, I just think you are much stronger than before."
Tsunade raised her eyebrows.
Stronger than before? So, you were not strong enough in the past?
Is this a compliment to me?
Tsunade couldn't help but increase her strength by three points.
