After Shuimu treated several wounded, Xiaochun had already prepared to transfer everyone according to Shuimu's instructions. As the war continued to escalate, it would sooner or later affect this important but weak stronghold. The sporadic enemies at present were just a precursor.

"Xiaochun, are you all right? Do you need help?" Shuimu asked with concern. Among the few ninjas with weak combat power, only Xiaochun has more means and can barely provide a good attack power. If the others encounter a powerful enemy, they really can't help, especially without the protection of the base barrier, they are even weaker.

"It's okay, Shuimu, the enemy won't come for the time being. If you leave quickly, there shouldn't be any problem." Xiaochun shook his head and said, "You still have a mission, go quickly~"

On the battlefield, if a medical ninja arrives a step late, an injured compatriot may die.

"It's okay. Saving you is part of the mission."

"Well, we'll go first then."

…

After watching Xiaochun and his colleagues leave for the safety of the rear, Shuimu had to put his worries aside for the time being and ran towards the battlefield with all his strength.

From a distance, they saw the high wall protecting the village being breached by a giant python. A group of ninjas threw kunai with explosive talismans, but the effect was minimal and they were basically unable to stop the giant snake from advancing. A large number of Sand Ninjas filed in through the gap in the high wall and entangled with the Konoha defense forces that had been waiting for a long time.

"Summoning is a really useful and easy-to-use magical skill. A good summoning beast inheritance is worth most ninjas' lifelong hard training. No wonder some people say that without a summoning beast, Jiraiya's strength would be greatly reduced."

Seeing the chaos ahead, Shuimu decided not to join in the fun. If he was easily eliminated by a large-scale attack ninjutsu, it would be too bad. A Chunin with insufficient strength should not get involved. After scanning the battlefield for a while, he finally saw a familiar face, the big guy Morino Ibiki, with the scar on his face, it was really easy to recognize.

"Captain Ibiki?" Mizuki greeted, "How can I help you?"

Ibiki turned around and saw that it was Mizuki, and said seriously: "I told you, I'm no longer the captain... No, I'm the captain again."

No longer the leader of Mizuki’s last mission, this time he is the leader of the patrol team.

"Don't worry about it. This time I'm here as a medical ninja to support the front line." Seeing that Ibiki was in command with great style, Mizuki said simply.

"Oh, just in time, follow me..."

Mizuki followed Ibiki to a simple station. He frowned and looked around. He asked seriously, "Why are there so few? There shouldn't be only this many injured people, right?"

In the entire station, there were only a few ninjas who were taking care of the few wounded.

"Many people don't need to be treated anymore." Ibiki said calmly.

These ordinary words startled Shuimu, and then his heart darkened.

"No need? Does that mean they are all dead, or there is no way to save them?"

"In the first wave of attacks, many people were killed before they could even react. The huge summoned beasts, combined with the Sand Ninja's attack, killed some people directly, and some were injured. We had no way to bring them back from the battlefield..."

Mizuki didn't ask a question, and Ibiki explained on his own.

In a warring party, when the defending party cannot confirm the focus of attack, it is extremely advantageous to the attacking party. With the initiative in hand, the first wave of attack will most likely cause huge casualties.

At this moment, there was another loud noise outside, and a huge toad appeared and entangled with the giant python.

"Did Lord Jiraiya take action?" Mizuki murmured.

"Oh, you also knew that Jiraiya-sama is back? I thought only a few people knew."

"I was the first one to discover it and tell the third generation." Mizuki explained casually.

Without wasting any more time, Shuimu said to Ibiki, "If there are any more wounded, send them here as soon as possible. I will hold out until the medical team arrives. I have another mission later. The other side is much more troublesome than here."

Whether it's Orochimaru or the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, the scene won't be much less spectacular than here.

"I see. We are short of people everywhere." Ibiki nodded and said, "It's enough for you to hold on until the medical team."

It is actually strange that there is no medical team on the front line. Although the village has obtained some intelligence, it still has no idea about the target of attack. It is not surprising that the focus is on the Chunin Exam venue. After all, there are too many big shots there.

While Mizuki was guest-starring as a medical ninja, Uchiha Sasuke had already started fighting with Gaara.

Haruno Sakura was terrified as she looked at Gaara who was gradually losing his human form.

"Is this why Mizuki-sensei said Gaara is the strongest Genin and that all the other candidates combined cannot beat him? But what is this all about?"

Just now, Uchiha Sasuke's two Chidori hit Gaara directly and caused considerable damage, but it did not hurt him at all. Instead, he became even more violent.

"Now, Sakura~" Sasuke, who was preparing Chidori not far away, ordered. Although it has already exceeded the upper limit of the number of times Kakashi said that Chidori can be used, but~

"Although my body is extremely tired, I can still hold on. Medical ninjutsu is indeed very useful."

Thinking this, Sasuke glanced at Haruno Sakura.

Sakura quickly formed hand seals and used a binding circle. A sense of oppression quickly confined Gaara, who had long lost his human form, in place.

Gaara, who was restrained, had lost his normal thinking and was struggling desperately.

"It's really an incredible power. It's even more difficult to deal with than before."

The same trick can only work again and again on a monster like this that has almost lost its mind.

Sakura glanced at Sasuke who was sprinting past. Although with the insight of Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan, Sakura's cooperation was not really needed, but...

"The curse mark on my neck is becoming more and more obvious. It would be best if I could stop using the Sharingan."

As chakra was consumed, Sasuke, who had used Chidori many times, could not hold on for much longer. His weak body and desire for power made the curse seal unstable again. Sakura, who had just treated Sasuke, naturally knew Sasuke's physical condition very well.

At the Chunin Exam venue, in a barrier invisible to the people outside, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was suppressed by the First and Second Hokage's Wood Release and Darkness Walking Techniques to the point where he had almost no power to fight back, took out a potion that had been in his ninja tool bag for nearly a month.

"I originally thought I would never have the chance to use it, but I didn't expect it would come to this."

If it was only Orochimaru, the Sandaime would not be afraid at all, but when the two previous Hokage who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation were added, the situation was completely different.

"Is the legend of the ninja hero going to end here today? It's a pity that I can't see the future of Konoha's new sprouts..."
