Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 593 Prelude to the decisive battle
Seeing that one of their companions had died tragically in such a short time, the remaining Kirigakure jonin felt sad, so they stopped thinking about continuing to fight and instead planned to break out as quickly as possible.

However, if they want to leave, it depends on whether Konoha agrees.

Thanks to the latecomer advantage, Nara Keiko's arrangements were more targeted. Although they were not perfect due to the short preparation time, they eventually formed a certain restrained situation.

Therefore, the Kirigakure jonin in the field had a very difficult fight and tried to escape several times but failed.

Qing Ming seized this opportunity and kept attacking. Based on the information he and his shadow clone had just collected, he launched a sneak attack on the Kirigakure jonin on the field.

His more comprehensive abilities also added some help to his actions.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

Just when the third Kirigakure jonin fell, the Kirigakure commander finally received the news and immediately began to prepare for the rescue.

However, Nara Keiko had already thought of this.

He directly ordered the troops on the front line to launch an all-out attack and never allow any of the Kirigakure jonin to escape from the battlefield.

As a result, Commander Kirigakure had no available personnel for a while.

The Kirigakure commander couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the terrible consequences if all those jonin were to fall.

After some hesitation, he decided to sacrifice his chariot to save his king, and directly ordered Qingming and other middle and lower-level ninjas on the battlefield near him to move towards the central battlefield.

He planned to use the lives of these middle and lower ninjas to buy some chances of survival for the upper ninjas in the field.

Not only that, he also sent the last reserve troops around him to the battlefield to support those Kirigakure jonin.

Although Konoha was able to mobilize more jonin because of its backup plan, it was not much more than the Kirigakure jonin who surrounded Qingming.

It’s not that Nara Keiko is unwilling to mobilize more people, but that there are only so many.

In order to overwhelm Kirigakure, he had even mobilized his reserve forces in advance.

There is a reason why the two sides have been deadlocked on this battlefield for so long.

At the very least, in terms of high-end combat power, the gap is not that big.

Of course, the gap is not big, provided that Minato Namikaze and Aomori did not use their full strength.

If the two of them unleashed their full strength, the Mist Ninjas in Yuzu Port would be 100% unstoppable.

However, both Namikaze Minato and Aomori had their own concerns, so they had no intention of going all out.

Even so, in this contest between the jonin, Konoha still had an absolute advantage with the two of them.

The death of Kirigakure jonin continues.
At the beginning, there were only some special jonin with weaker strength, but as the battle progressed, some real jonin began to die.

However, as they delayed, a turning point came.

First came those selfless Kirigakure middle-level ninjas. Although they could not pose a threat to Qingming and the others, they outnumbered them.

With their interference, the Kirigakure jonin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, after waiting for a while, the reserve team belonging to Kirigakure also arrived. All the ninjas in it were elite.

Although only a part of them are jonin, the remaining chuunin also have good strength and can play supporting roles even in the jonin battlefield.

In this way, the battle situation changed from a one-sided "massacre" to a evenly matched melee.

Moreover, as more and more people from both sides joined in, the situation gradually tended to evolve into a decisive battle.

As it turned out, Qingming's premonition was correct.

The encirclement and counter-encirclement caused by him eventually turned into a small decisive battle on this battlefield.

Of course, it can also be called the prelude to the decisive battle.

At this time, battles were taking place everywhere near Yuzu Port. The ninjas on both sides were killing each other so hard that even when the sun set, neither side chose to retreat.

In other words, dare not retreat.

In this situation, it all depends on who can't hold on first. Once one side chooses to retreat first, it will inevitably be ruthlessly hunted down by the other side.

And at times like this, the sacrifice is the greatest.

Not only was it difficult for the pursued party to defend themselves, but also because the wounded could not be transported in time. As a result, the casualties were bound to be very high.

On the contrary, the winning party can calmly treat the wounded.

With the medical ninjutsu mastered by the ninja world, as long as the injuries are not too serious, there is basically a chance of saving the patient.

Such an increase and decrease will inevitably make both sides dare not retreat easily unless both sides are exhausted.

At this time, if either side retreats, the other side will not dare to pursue rashly, nor will it have the energy to do so.

This is the best time to cease fire.

And now, the ninjas from both Konoha and Kirigakure are moving towards this stage.

······
In a flash, several hours passed.

It was late at night.

Moon stars are rare.

After fighting for a whole day and half a night, Nara Keiko and the Kirigakure commander finally gave the order to retreat.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The ninjas on both sides dragged their wounded, held kunai in hand, looked at each other cautiously, and began to leave the battlefield one after another.

But this process will not be too peaceful after all.

From time to time, the sounds of explosions and fighting could be heard on the battlefield.

Obviously, not everyone is so rational, and not every battlefield can be disengaged normally.

In the end, the process took nearly two hours.

It was not until the second half of the night that the Konoha ninjas and the Kirigakure ninjas were completely separated.

At this moment, the battlefield was filled with the smell of blood, which was nauseating.

At a high point, Qingming stood on a tree branch, overlooking the entire battlefield with a dim gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Time passes quietly.
At a certain moment, a figure appeared behind him.

Qingming didn't move, and he heard the man say, "Qingming Jonin, Captain Nara wants you to come over."

Hearing this, Qing Ming turned around and looked at the person who came.

It was none other than a messenger Chunin under Nara Kiyomitsu.

Qing Ming did not ask what Nara Qiguang wanted to do. He nodded and performed the "Wind Style: Wind Wings", flew into the sky, and flew towards the direction of the headquarters.

A few minutes later.

Qingming walked out of the command center.

Then he turned around and walked towards the hospital.

There was nothing big that Nara Qiangguang wanted to see him for, he just hoped that he could help treat some seriously injured people.

Logically, he shouldn't have any tasks today.

After all, he was already tired enough today. First, he risked his life to act as bait, then he prevented the Kirigakure Jonin from breaking through, and finally he killed powerful enemies one after another in the melee.

In this case, even if he is not given a few days off, he should at least be allowed to have a good rest.

But there is no way. Today's unexpected battle has caused a surge in the number of casualties, and there are no longer enough medical ninjas in the camp.

Nara Keiko had no other choice but to come to him.

Qing Ming did not refuse this.

After all, he had thought about using practical exercises to quickly improve his proficiency in the 'Chakra Scalpel' and the 'Fine Extraction Technique', but he never had the chance.

Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally won't miss it.

As for tiredness
Compared with upgrading, some mental fatigue is nothing!
