Chapter 183 I want to be a Kage-level ninja
The wounded Yagura leaned on the iron hook and panted slightly.
Seeing Orochimaru and Minato start to retreat, he didn't order a pursuit, but instead waved his hand to signal others to make way.
After taking a deep breath, Yagura raised the hook and pointed it at Orochimaru's retreating back, shouting loudly.
"Orochimaru! Tell me now, who is the winner!"
Then, Yagura didn't care whether Orochimaru heard his call or not, and fell to the ground.
Thinking back to the battle just now, even though Kirigakure had won a great victory, Yagura was still scared.
He didn't expect that the yellow-haired guy in Konoha is really worthy of his recent fame in the ninja world, and his threat level is even higher than Orochimaru.
If the fighting continued, he himself was not sure whether he could return safely.
"Jonin Yagura, why don't you continue the pursuit?"
The head of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Tatsuya, quickly came to the side of Yagura and questioned him in a very unhappy tone.
Yagura took one look at this guy with a head full of muscles and frowned.
However, considering that it was thanks to him that he led the charge and boosted morale just now, and that this guy also acted as a meat shield and attracted firepower without fear of life and death when fighting with Orochimaru and Minato later, the casualties of the besieged Mist Ninja were not heavy.
Yagura no longer cared about the other party's unreasonable attitude and stood up again with the support of the iron hook.
He just gave orders to the rest of the Kirigakure ninjas.
"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat."
Just when Kaguya Tatsuya was about to step forward to ask more questions, the chief of the Yuki Clan, Yuki Hiro, stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
He spoke with some disgust.
"The flight unit's sortie time is about to exceed the time limit. Didn't you see that some people have already started to land?"
"And if the Yellow Flash in Konoha really goes on a killing spree without regard for everything, can you stop him?"
Kaguya Tatsuya spoke angrily after hearing this.
"What the hell is Yellow Flash? Isn't he just a yellow-haired guy? I don't think he's that strong."
However, although Kaguya Tatsuya said this, he did not continue to dwell on whether to pursue or not.
In the previous battle, he was the most aggressive. If he hadn't been so good at Taijutsu and hadn't had the skill of white bone armor he might have been killed by the opponent long ago.
Even so, Minato left him with a profound lesson.
Kaguya Tatsuya touched the left and right sides of his bone armor's neck with lingering fear, revealing the cut scars on the white bone armor, and kept silent.
In fact, there is one point that Yuki Hiro didn't say. At this time, the number of troops escaping from Konoha was less than three hundred people.
If we say that the Kirigakure ninjas had taken advantage of their air superiority to catch Konoha off guard, the casualty ratio on both sides would have been an astonishing one to ten.
So if Kirigakure wants to forcibly annihilate the remaining 300 people in Konoha, under the protection of Minato and Orochimaru, Kirigakure may have to pay the same number or even several times the lives of these 300 people.
Apart from getting the title of annihilating the enemy, there are no other benefits.
It's obviously not worth the effort.
This is also the important reason why Yagura did not order to continue the pursuit.
However, at this moment, the Kirigakure ninjas were immersed in the joy of a great victory, and quickly collected the spoils and the bodies of some key figures of Konoha.
No one is as conflicted as Kaguya Tatsuya.
The previous 'escape team' did not clean up the battlefield like the others.
Instead, they were led by Kushimaru and walked towards Yagura.
However, when passing by Kaguya Tatsuya and Yuki Hiro, Kaito couldn't help but take a look at Yuki Hiro.
As luck would have it, Yuki Hiro also looked in the direction of Kaito at this time.
The two of them seemed to just look at each other unintentionally, and no one said much.
However, Kaito could tell from the other person's eyes that Yuki Hiro obviously recognized him.
Unfortunately, Kaito couldn't see anything more from the eyes of this shrewd guy.
'I didn't see this guy do anything outstanding during the fight just now, but he showed up again now.'
'The old man's look, could it be that he knows that I killed his female Jōnin?'
'This guy is troublesome!'
While Kaito was still daydreaming, several people had already arrived in front of Yagura.
Two medical ninjas were bandaging each other's injuries.
Kushimaru put down Raiga who was wrapped like a mummy, and began to tell Yagura in front of him in detail the whole process of the failure of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's mission.
At the same time, he did not forget to hand over the scroll that sealed Might Dai's body to the other party.
Although some simple information had been sent back to the village during the escape, it was not as straightforward as explaining it in person.
During this time, their eyes frequently fell on Kaito.
However, Kaito didn't care much about it. In this mission, he, Kisame, and Harpoon all performed quite well.
'I guess the village leaders would have to give us some kind of reward.'
'Kisame might even be able to ascend to the rank of Seven Ninja Swordsmen in one step.'
'As for me.'
'Please don't let me follow Anbu anymore. I don't want the title of a ninja swordsman. It would be nice to be a jonin.'
That's what Kaito thought, but he couldn't guess what the top management was thinking.
What concerned him more now was the attitude of these people towards Yagura.
Looking at Kushimaru's serious explanation, and Biwa Juzo who was helping to add details.
And, well, Raiga who was lying there quietly and motionlessly.
Kaito couldn't help but sigh secretly.
'In Kirigakure, strength is still respected. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who are usually more arrogant than each other, actually restrain themselves when facing someone other than the Mizukage. I guess only a few people in the village can be treated like this.'
'If I had the strength of a Kage.'
Kaito felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes.
When he looked back, he saw the little frog, which was now as tall as him, looking at him pitifully.
Kaito said in a low voice.
"Hungry?"
Blue nodded aggrievedly.
Kaito guessed that the little frog just ate something in the morning before going to training in the village.
'After hard training, he had nothing to replenish himself, and he was summoned by me to continue fighting until now. The evolution in the middle must have consumed a lot of energy.
'I guess he is really hungry now.'
But now, in front of Yagura, before Kaito could speak.
Yagura might have also heard what Kaito said in a low voice just now. He smiled and waved at him and said.
"kaito, you are also a medical ninja, don't waste time here, go and heal the other wounded first."
Upon hearing this, Kaito realized that the other party was kind enough to let him move freely, so he immediately took the order and left quickly with the little frog.
However, the other few people looked at Kaito's back with some surprise.
'Yagura seems to take this kid very seriously?'
