Chapter 98

The defeat of Suna's central forces, of course, meant defeat in the entire battle.

When the news of what had happened reached the flanks, they immediately retreated.

Suna's losses on the southern battlefield were not too great, but the losses on the northern battlefield exceeded even the central one!

The reason for this is quite simple.

Minato was there!

On that day, the enemies of Konoha again felt the horror of Hiraishin on soy skin, in that battle Minato killed about a hundred Suna shinobi, among whom there were at least twenty Jounins!

The last time Hiraishin appeared in the world of shinobi, when Senju Tobirama was still alive, but in this battle, Minato showed amazing skill, surpassing Tobirama in terms of adaptation and activation speed of the technique!

"Ah ... ah..."

Kakashi was breathing heavily, clutching the short blade in his hands.

Blood dripped from the blade, his mask was damaged, wounds were visible on his body, his chakra and physical strength were on the verge of exhaustion.

Phew!!

Minato appeared next to Kakashi and gave the command to Konoha's forces.

"No need to continue the chase!"

Not only was Kakashi severely depleted, but Minato had also used up most of his chakra, and the rest of the Konoha shinobi were in far from the best condition, continuing the chase would inevitably lead to an increase in the number of victims on their part, so it didn't make much sense.

Initially, Minato's authority as a flank commander was not too high, but by the time the battle ended, his authority had risen to unprecedented heights, hearing the commander's order, Konoha's forces immediately stopped the pursuit and quickly gathered together.

"...is it over?"

Kakashi calmed his breathing and looked at Minato.

Minato nodded: "Yes, it's over. It looks like Suna's central forces have been defeated and they no longer have any reason to hold us back on the flank."

A light flashed in the depths of Minato's eyes, initially he had assumed that the situation on the flanks would have an impact on the central battlefield, but suddenly something went wrong with Suna's central forces.

You need to know that he did not face the strongest Shinobi of Suna here.

It turns out that the main striking power of the enemy should be concentrated on the central battlefield or on the other flank...Since the center collapsed so quickly, Suna must have focused on breaking through the other flank, but the early collapse of the central forces led to defeat in the entire battle.

This can be understood.

After all, on the central battlefield there were Tsunade and Jiraiya, two legendary Sannin, as well as Yeruashi, such a quick defeat seemed quite normal, it's just not clear what impact Yeruashi had.

Minato ordered the Shinobi unit to start cleaning up the battlefield, and asked a special shinobi to contact the central battlefield to find out specific details.

"Reporting to the commander!"

"Our losses on the central battlefield are about seventy shinobi, the enemy's losses exceed three hundred Shinobi, Elder Sunagakure Puppet Master Chiyo fell on the battlefield, which provoked the retreat of the Kazekage Race along with the remnants of the forces."

After listening to the report, Minato asked in surprise: "Chiyo is dead?"

Elder Chiyo is known throughout the world of shinobi and is recognized as the strongest puppeteer who has reached the pinnacle of skill, her fame is not inferior and even surpasses the three legendary Sannins, unexpectedly so powerful Shinobi fell on the battlefield.

"Yes..."

The shinobi in charge of communication nodded: "Puppet Master Chiyo was defeated by Tokubetsu Junin Hatake Yeruashi and was killed by him, during the battle he used some secret technique and is now sent for treatment."

Hearing this, Minato of course was very surprised, he thought that Chiyo was defeated and killed by one of the Sannins or even a group of shinobi, suddenly Yeruashi did it.

This made Minato smile bitterly.

On such a battlefield, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to compete with a skilled Hiraishin user in terms of the number of kills, but Yeruashi's victory over a famous opponent changes everything.

Even if Minato performed well on the battlefield, killing at least a hundred Shinobi of the enemy, Yeruashi will still outshine him, because Chiyo's strength and skill are recognized throughout the shinobi world, her death is sure to be a high-profile event.

"Chie..."

Kakashi was confused.

He does not know the details of Chiyo and his father's battle during the Second World War Shinobi, but still has a strong impression of this shinobi, because Chiyo is one of the pillars of Suna and holds the title of the strongest puppeteer.

Unexpectedly, such a powerful shinobi died at the hands of Yeruashi, it seems that his older brother has already become a fully accomplished shinobi.

Of course, Kakashi always believed that sooner or later Yeruashi would reach this level, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, he would only be eleven years old in two months!

However.

Kakashi quickly moved away from the shock and anxiously turned to the shinobi in charge of communication: "Brother was sent for treatment because of the use of forbidden techniques? Is he in a serious condition?!"

Shinobi immediately responded, his voice filled with respect: "Yes, it seems to be very serious, Senior Tsunade personally delivered Tokubetsu Junin Hatake Yeruashi to the camp and took over his treatment."

There will inevitably be a price to pay for using a forbidden technique.

Yeruashi used a forbidden technique, going all out to kill one of the strongest Shinobi of the enemy, such a shinobi will cause genuine respect, regardless of his age.

Phew!!

Hearing these words, Kakashi flinched and immediately rushed in the direction of the camp.

Minato caught up with Kakashi and said: "I'll send you straight to the camp."

He understood Kakashi's concern, after all, it was his older brother.

Kakashi stopped and bowed gratefully, " Thank you for your help, Teacher Minato."

Minato nodded and felt the seal left in the camp, and then put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, activating Hiraishin.

Kakashi's figure instantly disappeared.

...

Konoha's camp.

Shizune and other Iranina remaining in the camp, awaiting the arrival of the wounded.

When Shizune saw Tsunade escorting two Iryenins with a stretcher, she immediately stood up.

The shinobi in charge of guarding the camp were going to check Tsunade's identity, but she just spewed out a powerful chakra pulse, causing them to turn pale abruptly.

"Gone!"

Tsunade exclaimed in a loud voice.

The Shinobi immediately stepped aside.

Such a powerful and heavy chakra can only belong to Tsunade, the appearance can be faked, but the chakra is not.

Moving aside, the guards felt a strong curiosity, to their surprise, Tsunade personally took over the escort of the wounded man to the camp, who is lying on this stretcher?
