MSIN: Chapter 64 [Welcome Wanderingsock 2]
After being interrogated in detail by the Third Hokage for a while, Haori was finally released.
After understanding what Haori had done, the Third Hokage was even more certain that the Suna ninjas had no way out. Of course, this wasn't to say that Haori's infiltration and destruction had caused fatal damage to Suna. But for the Suna ninjas, who had already failed on the front line, having many of their village facilities destroyed was like adding insult to injury.
The decisive factor here was still the victory on the front line led by the Third Hokage. The Suna ninja's defeat was the undeniable fact that they couldn't handle the Leaf Village's offensive.
If the Leaf Village's attack on the Suna ninjas on the front line was a 99, then Haori's destruction of Suna Village was probably only a 1. But this last bit was indeed the most noticeable and the most important. Because of this, the losses the Suna ninjas suffered went from two digits to three digits.
Many people's psychological limit is 99. When the number becomes 100, they won't hold on anymore. They will choose to compromise.
It's the same with wars between countries. The amount of casualties they can bear is limited. Now, the Suna ninjas have reached their limit.
After the Leaf Village won this war, they didn't continue to advance deep into the Land of Wind. Instead, they retreated a short distance, but they didn't leave the Land of Wind. They set up camp behind the battlefield that day.
Although the Suna ninjas had been defeated, there were definitely still ninjas monitoring the Leaf Village's main force. The Hokage wanted to have a dialogue with the Kazekage through this action of the Leaf Village ninjas: The Leaf Village has no intention of invading the Land of Wind, so we retreated a short distance. At the same time, this "no intention of invading" was conditional. The Suna ninjas should also show their due attitude. You must surrender and submit. Otherwise, the Leaf Village ninja combat group will attack again. This is specifically reflected in the fact that the Leaf Village ninjas are still staying in the Land of Wind.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the Leaf Village ninjas began to retreat. The location where the Leaf Village would set up camp had already been determined. By the time the combat troops retreated, some of the personnel responsible for logistics had already set up the tents for rest.
The Leaf Village's field hospital and medical ninjas were also gathered here. They had already prepared to treat the wounded.
Of course, they weren't just waiting. In fact, during the war, many seriously injured ninjas would be quickly evacuated from the battlefield and sent here for timely treatment.
Following the principle of urgency, by now, those with lighter injuries had the opportunity to be treated.
The unlucky Haori was among them. The fall had probably caused some of his previous, more serious wounds to reopen. Although it wasn't serious enough to cause major bleeding, some of the white bandages that had been wrapped around certain places were indeed oozing blood.
But he wasn't seriously injured. He was also patiently queuing up. He wouldn't dare to bother the medical saint, Tsunade.
After arriving at the camp, it took about half an hour for Haori to see the medical ninjas.
"Ah? Rin? Why are you here?"
After entering the tent, Haori found Rin, dressed in white, busy working.
She was currently bandaging Kakashi's wound while he was shirtless. Judging from the bloodstained bandages on the ground and Kakashi's complexion, he was seriously injured.
(ShixT9: Obito bout to cry rn)
To be honest, this was the first time Haori had seen what Kakashi actually looked like. Kakashi, without his mask, still had a pair of dead-fish eyes that shouldn't belong to someone his age.
"Haori? Just wait a moment. It'll be your turn soon."
"Take care of Kakashi first. I'm fine. After all, I didn't face the enemy directly today." Haori said. Let Rin focus on Kakashi for now.
Kakashi was indeed quite miserable. He had been fighting in the nominal second attack sequence all day… Unfortunately, the actual first attack sequence only had two people: the Third Hokage and Minato Namikaze. These two opened the breach, and then close-range units like Kakashi's quickly cut in. So, he was actually fighting at the front line the entire time.
So, his wounds weren't any fewer than those of adult ninjas. Haori had specifically paid attention to Kakashi from the air. His short sword was indeed very powerful, and he was incredibly determined. Haori thought he was ruthless enough against the enemy, but in that kind of close-combat, Kakashi seemed to be even more ruthless.
Compared to Haori, Kakashi was more of a "ninja." Because his father, the White Fang of the Leaf Village, had suffered a tragic fate, it had a profound impact on Kakashi's life. Now, he was trying to suppress his emotions and feelings for the sake of his mission, actively turning himself into a perfect killing machine.
Of course, Haori didn't know any of this. He only knew that Kakashi was really trying his best.
But for Kakashi, the enemy's injuries weren't the main thing. In fact, his biggest wound now was self-inflicted.
Through close observation, Haori could see that Kakashi's right hand was shaking slightly and constantly. It seemed that his hand had lost feeling.
Looking more closely at his arm, forearm, and hand, he saw large areas of skin necrosis and fine, layered ridges… Kakashi definitely wouldn't have practiced any jutsu. In Haori's opinion, it was very easy to find the reason for his arm's condition.
It was because Kakashi had used Chidori, a jutsu he hadn't fully mastered, in the war. And he had used it more than once. The condition of his arm was the result of not being able to adapt to the powerful lightning release.
Kakashi now actually mastered the chakra nature transformations of Lightning, Water, and Earth. From this perspective, he was indeed a genius ninja. Although Haori also knew the chakra nature transformations of Fire and Lightning, it was innate for him. As for the remaining transformations, he was still learning.
Although Haori's ability to learn jutsu was extremely strong, he was no different from other ninjas when it came to chakra nature transformations, the foundation of jutsu. He had to start from scratch. This also explained why Haori could run very fast once he got on the right track. But learning chakra nature transformations was a process of exploration for Haori.
Kakashi's situation was the same as Haori's thought. Mastering Lightning chakra didn't mean he could easily master all Lightning Release jutsu, especially powerful jutsu like Chidori. It required a high level of resistance from the ninja themselves. Kakashi now obviously couldn't fully meet this requirement.
Kakashi's arm injury could only be treated simply. The rest had to be gradually restored by his body's functions. After all, it was an injury from the inside out, which was difficult to heal quickly with medication.
After treating Kakashi's injury, it was Haori's turn. Compared to Kakashi, he was much simpler. Rin untied his bandages, reapplied medicine, and re-bandaged him.
After treating his wound, Haori walked out of the tent and found Kakashi sitting by a bonfire outside the tent.
Haori could vaguely sense Rin's concern for Kakashi, but Kakashi himself was indifferent to it. For him now, the mission was everything.
This clueless behavior made Haori confused.
If a female ninja always waits until late at night and gives her youth without regrets, she will be true to you…
Don't you understand such a simple truth? You deserve to be single for 60 years.
