Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 148

The Hyuga jonin looked at Hayato’s back, watching him fight evenly with Rasa.

His previously tense expression relaxed considerably, but then he muttered, “Didn’t they say there were nine of them? But only three of you came as support.”

He didn’t understand, but no matter what, the disadvantage was temporarily resolved. He had more time to help his other teammates.

On the other side, Rasa manipulated the sand and earth to quickly retreat, pulling away from Hayato.

But how could Hayato let him have his way? The Flying Thunder God Technique pressed close again.

On the battlefield, only a red streak of light constantly flickered, which was the color of Hayato’s Sharingan.

Hayato hadn’t activated his Lava Release Chakra Mode yet; if he had, the red would be even more noticeable.

Rasa’s brow furrowed under the pressure; this guy’s speed was truly fast, and he couldn’t create distance from him at all.

After a thought flashed through his mind, Rasa came up with a plan.

If he couldn’t shake him off horizontally, he would try vertically.

As soon as he thought of it, Rasa immediately manipulated a sand cushion to float, and his entire body instantly rose into the air, from just four or five meters above the ground to thirty meters high.

He completely pulled away from Hayato.

Suspended in the air, watching Hayato below, Rasa’s lips curved into an arc as he saw the other party standing with one hand on his hip, looking helpless.

Child, you are still too green.

Previously, he had flown at a low altitude mainly to get closer to the sand and gravel on the ground, allowing him to use the terrain to attack.

But to escape Hayato, he had no choice but to move away from the ground.

Then, he quickly formed hand signs in the sky.

“Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube!”

Rasa created a giant cube that plummeted towards the direction of the Konoha ninja on the ground, launching an indiscriminate attack.

Hayato watched the Gold Dust Cube grow larger and larger as it approached, shouted for everyone to run, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly disappear from his spot.

He successfully dodged Rasa’s attack; as for whether others dodged it, he didn’t know.

With a loud bang, the Gold Dust Cube heavily smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

After all, falling from such a high place, the kinetic energy was immense.

Hayato stared at Rasa in the sky with a solemn expression, his brows furrowed; not being able to fly was really troublesome.

Although the Complete Body Susanoo could allow him to fly, he hadn’t mastered it yet.

“He keeps throwing bombs down from the sky like this; this isn’t going to work,” Hayato mumbled, thinking of a solution in his mind.

Use the Flying Thunder God Technique? It didn’t seem to work either; it seemed he couldn’t break it without the Complete Body Susanoo.

While he was still thinking, Rasa’s second “bomb” had already fallen.

Everyone frantically dodged again, but merely dodging was useless because there were also Sand ninja puppets lurking on the ground.

The Hyuga jonin leading the Konoha team came to Hayato’s side.

“Hayato, this isn’t going to work. We have to retreat first,” he said with a grave expression.

There was no other choice, so Hayato could only nod, “Let’s retreat first.”

Until they resolved the danger of high-altitude projectiles, they couldn’t act rashly.

One careless mistake would lead to eternal damnation.

Having made up their minds, the Hyuga jonin went to convey the retreat order. Everyone carried their injured teammates and withdrew in an orderly fashion.

Ninja skilled in defensive ninjutsu stayed behind to cover their retreat, leaving only after the others had safely departed.

Hayato was also among the rearguard.

Rasa naturally saw through Hayato and the others’ intentions, but there was nothing he could do if Hayato wanted to escape.

After all, he was very far from them now.

If he got close to the ground, he would be entangled by Hayato. Helpless, he could only watch Hayato and the others slip away from below.

After some time, after Hayato and the others had all retreated, Rasa finally descended from the sky.

Many Sand ninja gathered around Rasa, all grateful for his timely arrival.

If Rasa hadn’t arrived, they would likely have lost this battle.

Rasa slowly shook his head, “We didn’t win either; we just forced them to retreat.”

Suddenly, Hayato’s figure came to his mind.

“When did Konoha get such a capable junior?”

If it weren’t for the high-ground advantage, he really wouldn’t have been able to do anything against the other party.

The other party was too fast; his Gold Dust attacks on the ground would probably be dodged before the gold dust even reached them.

When did such a fast person appear in the ninja world?

Konoha, truly unfathomable.

After a moment of reflection, Rasa turned and left the scene, leading the remaining Sand ninja to his camp.

He was not yet the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, but the village already had that intention.

That’s why he was currently going around to various battlefields, building up his reputation and achievements.

“It’s a pity we didn’t win this battlefield.”

When he had previously gone to rescue the battlefields on the Cloud and Sand sides, he had dealt a heavy blow to the Cloud Village.

He had originally thought of coming here to instantly resolve the Konoha army as well, and then he could return to the village to prepare for the succession ceremony.

The Third Kazekage was missing, and the village urgently needed someone to take charge.

But because the battle situation here was unstable, he couldn’t return to the village directly.

He would wait a bit longer.

On the other side, Hayato returned to the Konoha camp with the Konoha army.

He happened to see Kurenai busily rescuing the injured, and his brow twitched.

Sure enough, Kurenai had also come to this battlefield.

At the same time, Kurenai, who had just finished healing an injured person with the Mystic Palm Technique, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and caught sight of Hayato in her peripheral vision.

Kurenai’s movements paused, and her expression froze; she hadn’t expected to meet Hayato here.

She remembered he had gone to the Land of Water, hadn’t he?

Hayato walked to Kurenai’s side and gave her a thumbs-up.

Seeing this, Kurenai smiled slightly, looking proud.

“I’m now Lady Tsunade’s capable assistant! I’ve already healed many people.”

Hayato nodded slightly, glanced at the surrounding medical ninja, and spoke with a touch of emotion, “Medical ninja are truly a crucial part.”

Without the dedicated treatment of medical ninja, the casualty ratio in war would be unknown how high.

Hayato roughly estimated the number of people in Tsunade’s war zone; there were still about eight or nine hundred people.

This showed Tsunade’s extraordinary ability, of course, it wasn’t all Tsunade healing alone, but it could be said that Tsunade played a vital role in it.

“Where’s Lady Tsunade?” Hayato asked Kurenai.

“Master is still researching the antidote,” Kurenai looked towards the tent on the other side.

The squad led by the Hyuga jonin that Hayato had encountered earlier was actually going to compete for the antidote to the Sand Village’s poison.

Fortunately, they met Hayato, otherwise, most of them would likely have been buried alive by Rasa.

Hayato wasn’t worried about this; he believed Tsunade would definitely find a good antidote.

After all, Tsunade was naturally Chiyo’s nemesis, according to historical records.

His thoughts raced, and he wondered inwardly, what should he do the next time he encountered Rasa?
