Chapter 146 - 146 (1/2)

Soon after Kushina beat the Gobi, Jiraya's battle against Rasa also came to end as well.

Rasa was seriously injured. As Jiraya was about to deliver the final blow, Rasa shielded himself with Gold Sand and escaped.

Finding out that the alliance has been defeated on all levels, from ordinary Ninjas to Kage tiers, Chiyo and Ebizo also chose to retreat.

As these three backed down, they gave orders to the Sand Ninjas to withdraw, and they did so, led by their villages Jonins.

This time, Konoha's Ninja chose not to let them go, and chased them even after the victory, led by Minato and Jiraya.

The rest of Konoha's Ninjas, under the leadership of Sakumo and Orochimaru, were to deal with the remaining Rock Ninjas.

However, due to the location of Kikyo Pass, the closest country was the Earth country, so many of the Rock Ninjas retreated in advance, leaving behind only 2000 of their companions.

These two thousands were left alone, so they didn't intend to go back alive. All of them rushed straight at Konoha's Ninjas.

In order to reduce any possible casualties, Sakumo and Orochimaru joined the battle.

The next step was clearing the battlefield.

Orochimaru was directing the actions of all Ninjas, while Ryo led his medical team to look for any survivors that can be rescued.

The medical team searched for survivors, witnessing the cruelty of war. At this time, near body of a Sand Ninja, the figure of a small arm moved.

A woman in the medical team noticed this struggling arm. But she hesitated to rescue it, as it was near the corpse of an enemy Ninja.

Ryo sensed she was acting abnormally and looked back at her.

Ryo didn't have any impression of this medical Ninja. She wasn't one of the medics that he had brought. However, he asked about what was bothering her anyway.

She mentioned the small arm, and Ryo used his perceiving abilities and sensed that there was really life in there. Ryo motioned Ming Hyuga to hold the child up and bring him.

Because they were on the battlefield, the medical Ninjas were even nervous when approaching injured children.

However, after the kid was brought by Ming, they were relieved to see that this child should not be feared. What kind of threat could a 3 or 4 year child pose to them?

Ryo began his treatment immediately. The kid's injury was not heavy, but his head received a heavy blow. With Ryo's treatment, he quickly regained his consciousness.

At this time, Ryo felt that the child was familiar. He kept looking at him, thinking that he had seen this silver-gray hair before.

The female Medical Ninja saw the child wake up, and asked him very gently: ”Child, who are you? What's your name? where is your family?”

The kid looked clueless, as a fool, looking at the sky, and not answering.

After a good while questioning the child, he did not answer. Ryo could only leave him in the care of the female Ninja.

He went on, and continued his search for other survivors.

After a long search, he returned, and found the female medic holding the sleeping boy.

”So, has this child been identified?” asked Ryo, whispering.

”Ryo san, this child has lost him memory. He remembers nothing. I intend to adopt him into my orphanage.” The medic answered.
