This guy from the Kizuna clan was very sincere. He first responded to his captain and then immediately apologized to Jianchuan Ju.

Jianchuan Ju opened his mouth slightly, but finally gave up explaining.

"Forget it, a doctor is a doctor. Why would I bother with those killers from the Hidden Mist Village?"

However, although he did not stop the treatment, Jianchuan Ju still took a quick look at this Ghost Lantern Crescent.

'This guy who didn't appear in the original novel, what is his relationship with Mangetsu Kizuki and Suigetsu Kizuki?'

After treating many wounded people in succession, although there were still many people waiting for treatment, other Kirigakure ninjas had completely destroyed the Konoha camp and began to clean up the battlefield.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Togusa Nobito, instantly stood on a wooden stake in the center of the camp and started shouting.

"All Kirigakure ninjas, listen up! Divide into groups of three and disperse immediately to return to the Whirlpool Island camp!"

Most of the ninjas have not yet recovered from the exciting killing, and only a few ninja teams have begun to plan their direction and prepare to return.

"You're going to split up into small groups and return? That's very ninja-like."

Jianchuan Ju had thought about this matter when he was treating these ninjas just now.

Although the Kirigakure army has the upper hand in numbers and destroyed the Konoha camp directly, there are still a large number of ninja teams scattered near the border of the Land of Fire that have not gathered here.

A small number of them did not receive the intelligence conveyed by the front-line communications team, and most of them were because the initial information they received was to cause as much damage as possible to attract Konoha's attention, so their direction of advance was not at all towards the Konoha camp, resulting in the distance being too far to arrive.

Therefore, if these ninjas who have gathered and destroyed the Konoha camp now act in unison and run into the returning army led by Orochimaru, they will most likely be wiped out.

By then, all previous efforts will be in vain.

On the contrary, a dispersed retreat can more effectively preserve combat effectiveness. Grouping into three teams can also ensure that they will not be easily dealt with by Konoha's reconnaissance team, leaving enough confidence for the continued confrontation with Konoha.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was still thinking about the situation on the front line.

Seeing that the healing work on Jianchuan Ju's hands had been completed, the thick-browed jonin pulled him over and said with a smile.

"What do you think? Doctor Jianchuan. Would you consider bringing your team with us?"

Several ninjas who were waiting for treatment nearby were originally thinking that they should retreat immediately according to their superiors' orders, and it was a pity that Jianchuan Ju could not stay to treat them.

When he heard what Thick Eyebrows said, his eyes immediately lit up. However, Thick Eyebrows was the only Thick Eyebrows jonin present, and the others did not dare to speak out for Jianchuan Tachibana. They could only wait for these two to make a decision.

Only Zabuza stared at the jonin's eyebrows for a long time before turning his head away.

Jianchuan Ju didn't mind returning with a senior ninja, as it would be relatively safer, so he nodded and agreed happily.

"No problem, then just get another team."

As soon as Jianchuan Ju finished speaking, a voice came from above his head.

"Then both of you teams should come with me."

The writing went pretty smoothly today, so I’ll update three times.

Chapter 85 So ugly

A nine-member team was running at full speed along the coastline of the Fire Nation.

That's right, a team of nine.

Perhaps it was because he had witnessed Jianchuan Ju's healing ability during the previous mission to pursue the pharmacist Nono, so when they retreated in groups this time, Kurishan Kushimaru directly forced Jianchuan Ju's team to act together.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen basically acted alone and did not lead a team to perform missions, so in the end it became a seemingly nine-member team.

Fortunately, Kurishan Kushimaru did not refuse to join Ken's team.

By the way, Ken is the name of the thick-browed Taijutsu Jonin.

The first thing Jianchuan Ju heard was to ask him if his last name was Might. Fortunately, the other party did not have a last name and was just an ordinary civilian ninja.

This made Jianchuan Ju sigh that perhaps having thick eyebrows really could add to one's physical talent.

As for his three team members, except for the branch of the Hozuki clan who had just been promoted to Chunin, Hozuki Shingetsu, the other two were just Genin from ordinary ninja families.

I don't know how such a team was put together.

"Kid, how long are you going to watch the stitches?"

Kurishan Kushimaru pulled out his long sword and sewing needle in annoyance and pointed it at Zabuza.

Everyone immediately stopped moving forward and looked at Kurisan Kushimaru and Zabuza in confusion.

Zabuza thought about it and said seriously.

"Nothing, I just think it's a little ugly."

Fortunately, Jianchuan Ju who was standing by was well aware of how stubborn his teammate was. If Kurisan Kushimaru hadn't asked, Zabuza would not have taken the initiative to provoke him, but he certainly couldn't say anything nice now.

He quickly grabbed Zabuza's clothes and pulled him behind him.

"Kuri Hail, my team members have always admired you for using a long knife to sew."

As he said this, Jianchuan Ju pulled out the short knife tied with a steel wire from Zabuza's back and swung it twice casually.

"You see, he is also practicing the use of the needle himself."

Kurisan Kushimaru looked at the short knife in Jianchuan Tachibana's hand with some suspicion, and then just spoke lightly.

"If you are not afraid of death, you can challenge me at any time."

After saying this, he ignored everyone's reactions and started on his way again.

Although Zabuza was somewhat unhappy with Kurishan Kushimaru's tone, he also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble.

He just glared at Jianchuan Ju fiercely, put his short knife into the sheath, and followed.

Perhaps this incident opened up the conversation.

Kurishan Kushimaru, who had not spoken much on the way, did not continue to hurry on his way.

Instead, he slowed down and came to the Jianchuan Orange.

"Boy, are you interested in joining the assassination team?"

Jianchuan Ju didn't expect the other party to ask this question.

Although Kurishan Kushimaru, as the deputy director of the Anbu, does have the right to suggest to the Mizukage to recruit new people, it seems that the other party did not think much of them before. Why would he suddenly want to invite him to join the Anbu?

Besides, my sunny and cheerful personality doesn't really match the dark side.

Jianchuan Ju thought about it and decided to reject the other party in a tactful way.

"Kuri Hail, my jonin instructor is currently serving in the perception class. I am a medical ninja myself, so I don't think I am suitable for the work of the Anbu."

After saying that, he looked at Kurisan Kushimaru carefully. Jianchuan Tachibana didn't want to offend the other party for no reason.

Unfortunately, the ANBU mask prevented him from making out the other person's expression.

"Well, you can think about it again. There's no rush to give me an answer."

After saying that, Kurishan Kushimaru accelerated again and went to the front of the team, leaving only the somewhat disheveled Jianchuanju.

"Quack~(ο`)" Lanzai jumped to Jianchuanju and patted his ankle comfortingly.

After this little episode, everyone increased their speed again and did not encounter any Konoha ninjas who tried to stop them along the way.

Not long after, they returned to the vicinity of Whirlpool Island.

At this time, you can see ninja teams landing on Whirlpool Island from different directions one after another.

It seems that what everyone was most worried about, Orochimaru leading his troops directly to station on Whirlpool Island, did not happen.

But it's normal to think about it. Without sufficient supplies, the Kirigakure ninjas are not ready to rush to rescue the camp. Even if Konoha chooses to wait on the island of whirlpools, the Kirigakure ninjas will not choose to attack the camp by force to increase casualties.

Looking at the dilapidated camp in front of us, it is basically a replica of the Konoha camp that was destroyed by the Kirigakure ninja yesterday.

"Okay, the temporary team is disbanded."

After saying this, Kurishan Kushimaru left instantly.

The remaining two team members looked at each other.

In the end, it was Ken who spoke first.

"Doctor Jianchuan, I hope we will have a chance to work together again in the future. We will take our leave now."

"Okay, then please take good care of me in the future, Kenjonin."

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was also a temporary member of the team, also chose to say goodbye, but before leaving, Jianchuan Ju asked him not to tell anyone about the Snow Clan for the time being.

Now the team is back to Jianchuan Ju and his two companions.

"Let's go find Teacher Qing first."

Mei Terumi's proposal was also agreed by the other two. The camp had become like this, and the three of them were very worried about Ao's situation.

Finally, the three of them were in a ruin, which should be the location of the perception squad’s command tent. They saw Qing limping and looking for something there.

"Teacher Qing, I'm so glad you're okay."

Terumi Mei, who had been worried all the way, quickly ran to Qing.

When Qing heard the voice, he immediately turned around and saw that the three disciples were safe and sound. A sincere smile appeared on his face.

Jianchuan Ju carefully observed Qing's condition. He didn't expect that Qing, who was already injured in the battle, didn't have any new wounds. He really admired him.

"Ju, well done." Qing first gave affirmation to Jianchuan Ju.

For Qing, being able to lead the team to complete the mission safely means being a qualified team leader.

"Teacher Qing, let's talk somewhere else."

But then Jianchuan Ju looked at the ruins of the camp covered with rubble and rags, and seemed to feel that he had thought too much.

The four of them simply found a few broken boxes and sat down to share information from both sides.

"Are you sure it's the Snow Clan?"

"Tsk, he's already used Ice Escape, how could it be fake?" Zabuza said angrily.

Jianchuan Ju also spoke up to confirm.

"That's for sure. We've seen that person once before at the camp training ground, and it seems that she is the female ninja pretending to be an Anbu on the Pirate Island."

"It was also thanks to the fact that the opponent was a speed-type jonin, but he didn't exceed my reaction limit, so I was able to restrain him."

In fact, if Xueshan hadn't been irritated by the continuous ridicule that day, and worried that Jianchuanju's talent would become a major hidden danger in the future, she would have been staring at Jianchuanju and wanted to kill him.

Otherwise, the team members at that time might not have been able to win the battle intact.

Chapter 86 How could he die?

After listening to this, Qing fell silent for a while.

It's not that he didn't want to vent his disciples' anger, but the Snow Clan was one of the largest clans in the village after all, and a few minor problems could not shake their position at all.

Even in the last smuggling incident, with the Kirigakure Village high-ranking leader Yagura Karatachi pushing for an investigation behind the scenes, the last three Mizukages did not actually impose any harsh punishments.

This kind of shady dealings on the battlefield, even if it is reported to the top leaders, not to mention making the other party pay any price, there is even the possibility of being bitten back by the other party because of the death of a senior ninja of the Snow Clan.

And the atmosphere in the village is that if the other party threatens you, then you find a chance to kill them. If you go to complain crying, you will be spurned by all the blood mist ninjas.

Seeing that Qing was in a very difficult situation, Jianchuan Ju didn't intend to continue on this topic.

The purpose of telling Qing about this matter was not to get any help, but to remind him that the previous conflict with the Snow Clan was not over, and he still had to be careful of their revenge in the future.

Then Jianchuan Ju continued to talk about the subsequent attack on the Konoha camp.

"It seems that Konoha will reduce the number of troops on the front line in the future."

After hearing this, Qing nodded and immediately understood the intention of the ninja swordsmen on the front line.

"It still depends on the village's next plan. If the village leaders continue to send reinforcements to the front line, then even if Konoha's logistics are difficult, they will inevitably station a large number of troops here for defense."

Jianchuan Ju felt a little annoyed after he finished speaking.

If I had traveled through time a year earlier and had enough strength now, I would not be so resistant to the upcoming war.

However, Qing has a different opinion on this.

"Thanks to the heavy rain, although Konoha's surprise attack on the camp caused huge casualties, it was not easy for them either, so they did not force themselves to stay and annihilate the subsequent returning troops."

"Moreover, for the village leaders, killing and wounding a large number of Konoha ninjas and defeating the Konoha camp are both acceptable results. The leaders are also willing to resume the previous state of confrontation across the river."

"Even if the two ninja sword masters, Aoi and Samehada, died in this battle, as long as the ninja swords are still there, the village can still select a successor, and it will not destroy the strategic plan formulated before the war."
