0051 retreat back hard to defend (Ch 0051)

I finally made it to dawn.

Dong Si and his companions rested for four hours each, after all, they had to take turns to keep watch.

Like Toushi and Neiryu, Kenji had become accustomed to the Iwagakure attack the night before… and was no longer surprised to see his colleagues die in front of him.

Because there was no signal from any rescue team nearby, they ate dry food together and waited for orders.

After a night’s sleep, Nachi has recovered a lot. In other words, [Palm Immortal Technique] is really good.

At this time, Nachi was considered a healthy man, except that he could not fight or do strenuous exercise.

But what they waited for was not a new “protection team” at all. Konoha Command had no intention of preparing more personnel for the “rescue team”.

So the four of Dong Si officially became Team Kenci.

And the meaning above is clearer. They not only have to carry out rescue work, but also have to fight head-on when necessary.

There are also some meanings that need to be understood in reading, that is, the team will no longer be replenished if the number of members is reduced. The surviving ninjas will continue to make achievements on the battlefield… In other words, from now on, if necessary, no matter who is on the front line, they will be cannon fodder.

Toushi could also guess that Hiruzen must have sent Minato and Kakashi’s team. And Fugaku probably also issued some orders that were not friendly to rookies like Toushi.

That’s right, the battle line has been pushed to this point, it must be the last wave.

Once Kakashi successfully destroys the bridge, we can return to the village.

It’s just… letting a jonin lead three genin to fight against a large group of jonin and chuunin on the battlefield, I always feel that the sacrifice rate is a bit too high.

Especially now, Dong Si has used up all his “life-saving talismans” – the detonating talismans that cost three thousand taels each.

He only had a few smoke bombs found on the battlefield to save (escape) his life…

…

Two more days of anxiety passed.

Or rather, only two days had passed.

The Jianci team has finally gotten some experience in running-in.

The main reason was that Guofang Jianci had only been working with Dong Si and the others for a short time. Dong Si and the other three had been working together for a while and could be considered to have a “tacit understanding”.

The action pattern these two days is still the same as before. We provide first aid to the wounded as soon as we receive the signal.

Since Iwagakure deployed a large number of surprise attack troops on the first night after Konoha advanced the front line, the past two days were unexpectedly but reasonably “calm”.

In fact, although the frequency of large-scale sneak attacks at night is not as high as that of regular battles during the day, night attacks are usually carried out with the awareness of certain death, and the intensity can be imagined.

Most of the attacks Dong Si and his men faced were night attacks.

In fact, they occasionally encountered attacks during the day, but that was not “planned” by the Iwagakure ninjas. It was a kind of accidental encounter…

That’s why night raids are so scary. That’s because the Iwagakure troops knew the target was logistics, so they came prepared. And every time the Iwagakure team launched a night raid, it was likely that they would accurately deploy combat power, which would be slightly better on paper.

It is not difficult to imagine that the spy war between the two sides is particularly turbulent. In the end, they may have stolen a lot of information from each other, which is why they occasionally make such targeted moves.

“The high-intensity battle has lasted for more than two days. If Kakashi hasn’t gone to blow up the bridge, it will become a complete large-scale decisive battle… Can Konoha accept this?” Touji muttered to himself as he followed Kenji and the others to the next location to send out a distress signal.

Konoha is unlikely to accept this situation. Regardless of whether they win or lose in the end, as long as Konoha’s combat power is severely depleted here, it will be difficult to hold on in the future.
