After more than two hours of brutal fighting, and leaving behind countless corpses of Sunagakure, the Sunagakure army finally retreated successfully.
At least, after experiencing such a killing, most of the Konoha ninjas were close to exhaustion and unable to pursue the Suna ninjas who had already begun to run away desperately.
…
At sunset, the battlefield gradually became quiet.
Under the setting sun, the sky seemed to turn into patches of dark red, and the whole world seemed to be stained with a dazzling blood.
In the direction of the retreat of Sunagakure's troops, the entire land stretched for several miles. Corpses that were either complete, incomplete, or in pieces fell on this road filled with the smell of death.
Among them, there are those from Sand Ninja and those from Konoha.
Generally speaking, there are mostly sand ninjas.
But, no matter what...
Konoha won, Konoha successfully defeated Sunagakure, at least in this pursuit battle.
The Konoha ninjas did not let the Sunagakure retreat "safely". Instead, they bit the Sunagakure troops hard and bit off a huge piece of fat.
Perhaps, it was Lei Luo's decisive defeat of the Third Kazekage that boosted the morale of the ninjas on the Konoha side, so they fought bravely and had a strong desire to kill the enemy.
Perhaps, the experience of being suppressed and beaten by Sunagakure for more than a year was too frustrating, and all the Konoha ninjas wanted to vent their resentment at this moment.
Perhaps, Orochimaru, Aburame Shiguro and other high-end combat powers stabilized Sunagakure's high-end combat power, beating the enemy back steadily, making the Konoha ninjas full of confidence in victory.
In short, this battle was too fierce, even beyond Lei Luo's original expectations.
Perhaps, it also exceeded the expectations of the Third Kazekage.
It is no exaggeration to say that the battlefield along the way was filled with blood.
The gravel under my feet seemed to suddenly become sticky and wet, and it felt like I had sunk into the mud when I stepped on it.
Lei Luo strolled slowly near the battlefield, scanning the desert strewn with corpses while recalling the battle scenes he observed in his mind.
Lei Luo did not participate in this pursuit battle, firstly because he was not interested in dealing with a group of pawns, secondly because he did not want Sunagakure Village to fall too early, and thirdly...
For the extremely fast old man Sunagakure, his highest combat power must be on standby at all times to respond in time.
Now, although the battle has ended, there are still many Konoha ninjas lingering on the battlefield.
Some of them were collecting the corpses of their companions, while others were searching for the sand ninja who were not yet dead, and then stabbed them with their sharp blades.
After experiencing so many wars with Sunagakure, every Konoha ninja in this ninja army now controlled by Lei Luo will naturally do this kind of work after the war, without the need for special instructions.
It is worth mentioning that after the victory of this war led by Lei Luo...
All the Konoha ninjas Lei Luo met along the way, no matter who they were, when they saw Lei Luo, they would take the initiative to put aside their work and come forward to salute, with an extremely respectful attitude.
Obviously, all Konoha ninjas knew who brought them this victory.
Although Lei Luo didn't recognize the Konoha ninjas who came to greet him, he still smiled and nodded in greeting, thus accumulating his reputation.
Just walking, looking, and meeting countless Konoha ninjas along the way. As the bodies at his feet became fewer and fewer, Lei Luo finally reached the edge of the battlefield.
That is, the place where the Suna ninjas completely escaped the pursuit of the Konoha ninjas.
There were no corpses ahead, and no traces of blood remained.
There were only a series of messy footprints left on the sand. It was obvious that the Sand Ninjas were walking in a great hurry.
Glancing around the surroundings, Lei Luo saw several of his close men as expected:
Aburame Shiguro stood quietly not far away, Masahira raised his arms and looked down at the insects hanging above his fingers, not knowing what he was sensing.
On the other side, above a pile of sand, Namikaze Minato and Metadai were chatting together. Among them, Namikaze Minato was sitting on the ground, and Metadata was lying flat on the surface of the sand as if he was exhausted.
Seeing Lei Luo coming over, several people said hello one after another.
"Where's Orochimaru?" Looking at Aburame Shiguro who was silently putting away the bugs beside him, Lei Luo asked casually, and then walked towards Namikaze Minato.
"I said I went to collect experimental subjects..." Aburame Shiguro followed Lei Luo's footsteps, his face did not waver at all, but his tone showed a little unnaturalness:
"I've never seen that guy do something so actively, his human experiment... Lei Luo, you'd better take care of it."
"If Orochimaru keeps doing this, I think there will be problems sooner or later."
Counting the last mission, Aburame Shiguro and Orochimaru have been getting along for a long time, and the atmosphere in Leiluo's team has always been very "harmonious". No one likes to do any fancy tricks, so...
Everyone has a certain idea of who has what personality and who has hobbies.
"Why bother?"
Inadvertently glancing sideways at Aburame Shiguro, Lei Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but feel a little strange:
Orochimaru has been conducting human experiments for more than a day or two. According to Lei Luo's understanding, Aburame Shiguro should have been aware of this matter for a long time, but hasn't he always been indifferent to it?
Why are you suddenly saying this now?
As if he didn't expect Lei Luo to ask such a straightforward question, Aburame Shiguro's expression froze, hesitating for a while, her lips moved slightly, but she did not give an answer.
Seeing this, Lei Luo subconsciously thought: Aburame Shiguro had actually been dissatisfied with Orochimaru's behavior for a long time, but she had just kept it secret and now she couldn't help but speak out.
"To be honest, I think you should consider the problem from Orochimaru's perspective..."
First he shrugged at Aburame Shiguro, then Lei Luo walked up to Namikaze Minato and pressed his hands forward to indicate that they did not have to get up. Finally, he turned his head and added:
"That guy only has so much interest left. Whether you pity him or hate him, in short, in my opinion..."
"What Orochimaru did was not nonsense. Some of his research results will definitely come in handy in the future, and you might even be able to benefit from them by then."
After saying that, Lei Luo turned his head, shifted his gaze to Matt Dai lying on the ground, and asked:
"Dai, how long will your current state last?"
Seeing that Lei Luo not only did not take Orochimaru's human experiments seriously, but also treated the matter with a supportive attitude, Aburame Shiguro immediately decided not to persuade him and also set his sights on Matt Dai.
