Chapter 358 The end of the battle
"How many more are behind?"
In the makeshift medical center, Nagato was performing surgery on a seriously injured patient.
"Nagato-sama, this is the last batch."
"The battle is over. Lord Yahiko has killed the enemy leader."
The two rescue team members could not hide their excitement in their voices.
They won, and from now on the Rain Country belongs to the Akatsuki organization, to them.
"I know. Go ahead and get busy."
Nagato showed no surprise or joy on his face and did not stop the treatment. Everything was as expected.
"Yes, Nagato-sama."
The two of them left quickly. Although they were physically exhausted, they were extremely excited.
"Yahiko and the others should be back soon."
"Do you need help?"
After Nono finished the work at hand, he walked over to Nagato.
"It's coming soon."
"You take a break, I'll be done soon."
Nagato looked back at Nono with a smile on his face.
He could already sense the presence of Yahiko and Konan.
"I am a little tired. I can't compare with you."
Nono didn't care whether it was dirty or not and just sat cross-legged on the ground.
Her face was slightly pale and her chakra was greatly depleted.
Compared to Nagato, her total chakra amount is far less.
Not only had Nagato saved more people than her, but he also didn't seem tired at all.
"What's the comparison? We are all saving lives."
After the treatment was completed, Nagato skillfully wrapped the wounded with bandages.
"Carry it away."
With a wave of his hand, someone carried the wounded away, and then another person was carried in front of Nagato.
He had informed the rescue team in advance, as he knew Nono could not handle the treatment of so many people.
"I'll take your place after I rest."
Nono felt a little apologetic and reached for the tool bag behind his waist while speaking.
"No, I can do it."
Before Nagato checked the wounded man in front of him, he held down Nono's hand.
He guessed that Nono wanted to eat the Bingliang Pills.
Although this thing can restore chakra, it is not completely without side effects.
It will accelerate the aging of women, this is a little knowledge that Tsunade told him.
"Ok."
Nono took his hand back angrily, like a child who had done something wrong.
"you are already awesome."
“I’m just a little special.”
Nagato knew that as a member of the Uzumaki clan, he was born with an amount of chakra far exceeding that of ordinary people.
This is something most people can't envy!!
"I know. Red hair."
Nono didn't mention any names, but she had already received a lot of information about the Uzumaki clan.
Born with huge chakra amount, powerful sealing technique, keen perception and so on.
"Nagato-sama, it hurts..."
The wounded man's weak voice interrupted their conversation.
"Sorry, I almost forgot."
Nagato scratched his head awkwardly, looking embarrassed.
Nono looked at Nagato's expression and burst out laughing.
It’s great to have him around!!
"I can't save my hand, but I can save my life."
Without waiting for the wounded man's reply, Nagato immediately cut off the severed limb that still had some skin left.
"I..."
The wounded man felt like crying as he looked at his arm thrown aside.
Am I disabled now? Have I disturbed Lord Nagato?
Originally he still had a glimmer of fantasy, but now he has completely faced the reality.
It’s a blessing in disguise, at least I don’t have to die.
"Okay, take it away."
Nagato handled the situation neatly and efficiently, and the wounded man was then carried away.
"We're back."
The voice came before Yahiko and Konan arrived.
Xiaonan's voice sounded particularly happy.
"Where did you get your windfall?"
Nono didn't stand up. He just sat on the ground and looked at Xiaonan with a smile.
“Dangdangdang~”
Xiaonan took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone like he was presenting a treasure.
Although most of the money was destroyed in the battle, it is better than nothing.
This money is enough to make Xiaonan happy for a long time.
"You really know her."
Yahiko reached out to grab it, but Konan dodged it.
"The little money-grubber will only be so happy when he sees money."
Nono touched Xiaonan thoroughly.
"Nonsense, I'm happy to see you guys too."
Konan came over to Nono and sat cross-legged too, his tsundere little expression was so adorable.
"Where's Kakuzu?"
Nagato looked at the two men carefully, confirming that they were not injured before asking about Kakuzu.
"Don't mention him. He almost killed me too."
When it comes to Kakuzu, Yahiko gets furious.
Thinking of that scene before, I still feel scared.
If I hadn't dodged it, I wouldn't have been able to die with Nagato around, but I would have at least suffered some injuries.
"That guy is so abominable."
Konan was indignant and spoke up for Yahiko, and on the way they both cursed Kakuzu countless times.
"What's going on?"
Nagato frowned. What kind of outrageous thing had Kakuzu done again?
"..."
After Konan finished her story with some exaggerations, Nagato finally understood what had happened.
"I'll look for him when he comes back."
Nagato intends to give Kakuzu a warning, Yahiko is also his Achilles' heel.
"Forget it, I'll get this back myself later."
Yahiko rejected Nagato's kindness because he didn't believe that he would always be defeated by Kakuzu.
One day, he would teach Kakuzu a lesson himself.
"it is good."
Nagato nodded and agreed immediately. He could guess what Yahiko was thinking.
But it is still necessary to teach Kakuzu a lesson. At worst, we can just not let Yahiko know.
After all, Kakuzu's behavior was too dangerous, and he would never allow this to happen again.
Even if it wasn't Yahiko, he didn't want to see a companion who killed his teammates like grass.
This is different from the treatment of the characters in the original work.
"He won't run away, will he?"
Nono had no trust in his opponent, so it didn't matter to him whether he stayed or not.
"I haven't seen him since the battle."
"I heard from Nagashima Yuichi that he went to collect the bounty."
"Oh, never mind him, what a nasty fellow."
Xiaonan now wishes Kakuzu would never come back, because then she would be in charge of all the money from now on.
"Heh~ He's reluctant to leave now."
Yahiko sneered, and Kakuzu felt very relieved.
Based on his understanding of Kakuzu, he will make money in the future, so how could he possibly slip away?
"Then we should go to the nearest money exchange."
It wasn't the first time that Kakuzu went out to collect the bounty, and Nagato was too lazy to spend any energy to monitor him.
If he really leaves, then leave. But if you meet him next time, don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless.
"How are the casualties?"
Yahiko hadn't had time to count yet, so it seemed more convenient to ask Nagato.
"More than 100 people died in the battle, about 80 were seriously injured and retired, and there were countless minor injuries."
The last batch of wounded have been delivered, and Nagato is very familiar with these data.
Currently, there are only about two thousand ninjas in the entire Rain Country. The casualties this time have exceeded one-tenth, which is quite a big number.
"Hmm~"
Yahiko hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"I plan to choose a place to build our own ninja village."
"The Rain Village is a thing of the past. We must look forward."
"Take the remains of the dead back to build a memorial."
"Calm the people first, and then do something big after the repairs are done."
Yahiko looked to the future, the burden on his shoulders becoming heavier and heavier.
Not only must he be worthy of his teacher, but he must also be worthy of his subordinates and the people of the Rain Country.
"It's all up to you."
Seeing how energetic Yahiko was, Nagato and the other two felt motivated as well.
