Chapter 100 - 100 (1/2)

With Ryo and Gamahiro joining the battle, the Mist Ninjas were devastated, and could only try to escape.

The Hozuki clan's head and the Mizukage's saw the way things were developing and abandoned their battles.

Even though Konoha was in a great disadvantage at the start, things developed differently. Might Duy opened the Eighth Gate of Death and killed four of the Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and then Ryo came to the battlefield in time, killing over a thousand Ninjas with his Ice arrow. By all means that was the Mist's defeat.

However, Konoha's victory could only be described as a tragic one. The Barrier, medical and wounded Ninjas left behind in Konoha's camp were all killed by the seven. On the battlefield, there were nearly a thousand between wounded and killed.

This was the most brutal bloodbath that Ryo ever had to witness ever since he started participating in the 3rd World War. However, Ryo had only brought a small medical Ninja team along with him, with Ming and Maan being there for their protection.

Upon returning to Konoha's camp, after the battle, the casualties were reported to Shikaku, who put the medics into work.

These medics have been Ryo's subordinates ever since the beginning of the 3rd World War, and they were some of the best Medical Ninjas out there since Ryo has taught them modern Medicine.

With their help, Ryo spent three days treating the 74 most wounded Ninjas, saving 66 of them. The price was the medical team had three sleepless nights, and that Ryo had to use all the Healing Stones that he has had stored.

After the serious injuries were dealt with, Ryo and the others slept for a whole day and night. Soon after waking up, they looked into the minor injuries.

With that, Ryo spent almost 10 days during which he couldn't get noteworthy sleep. He and his medical team finished treating all the wounded on the battleground.

After the rescue work ended, Ryo was exhausted. He was even more tired than the time after beating Roshi. All he could do now is trying to get some good sleep.

During those 10 days, Ryo lived in a temporary rescue tent along with the rest of the medical Ninjas. He didn't know if Shikaku had arranged him a place to settle in during that time.

He could only see him and ask him directly about his residence.

After arriving to Shikaku's tent, Ryo asked him. Shikaku Nara however had his own burning question: ”Ryo, are you conscious that you have become the General Commander of this whole country's battlefield?”

”I have Shikaku Nii-san by my side. What could I ever need to be conscious about?”

Ryo understood his position well. He knew that he wasn't fit to be in such a position. He could try to play smart and command the whole army on his own, but he better not do it.

”What a drag! Alright, come with me!” Shikaku Nara said the signature Nara phrase, before leading Ryo to the tent he had arranged for him.

On the way, Shikaku Nara was looking back from time to time, getting Ryo all puzzled, until the two reached the tent.

It was the largest tent in the camp. It was almost exactly the same a Orochimaru's tent in the Earth Country battlefield, and Sakumo's tent in Wind Country battlefield.

It's no wonder that Shikaku asked him that question.

Ryo realized why he was looking back at him and watching his eyes with such frustration.

”Great then, Shikaku Nii-san, but I have to come back.” Ryo couldn't wait, he felt smothered by Shikaku's looks and had to flee back to his tent.

Over the following few days, Ryo threw all the burdens of managing the camp on the Shikaku's shoulders, and focused on replenishing his [Yin Seal].
