"Impressive."
Satoru couldn't help but admire that those who erged from the Warring States Period truly possessed unmatched combat power.
Whether it was the Third Hokage-sama, the strongest Hokage, or his several disciples, they were all top-tier experts.
Although he hadn't seen them in action in the original work, judging from their aura, they were truly no worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Boom!
When the Nine-Tailed was blasted out of Konoha Village, a figure quickly rushed out.
When the Nine-Tailed tried to return, the figure rapidly grew enormous, grabbing its body with a large hand and pushing it back.
"Is that… Akimichi Torifu?"
Feeling the figure whose Chakra was much denser than anyone else's, and seeing its giant form, Satoru thought to himself.
His attention had previously been on those old geezers, so he had overlooked this character who didn't appear many tis in the ani.
However, he was clearly showing his age.
His strength was already inferior to Choza's, but his combat experience was much richer.
When he appeared at this mont, he could even temporarily suppress the Nine-Tailed, using all his strength to press it down.
Other ninjas quickly assisted in seeing this.
He shook his head and refocused on evacuating the civilians; that was not a battlefield he could participate in.
Initially, he thought his newly developed secret Ninjutsu might be useful, but now it seed that even his assistance was not as significant as a few old geezers.
Moreover, Konoha had a considerable population.
There were also many capable people.
It just seed like Orochimaru wasn't there.
Now that the Third Hokage-sama had pushed the Nine-Tailed out, it ant that the battle would soon end.
Whoosh whoosh!
He arrived at the buildings destroyed by the Nine-Tailed, occasionally rescuing several residents.
Looking at the destroyed buildings and their deceased family mbers, the residents' eyes welled up with tears; this scene would never fade.
There were many such people.
The Nine-Tailed's body was too large; every move it made would cause devastating damage to Konoha.
Satoru diligently rescued those who still had breath.
For the injured, he used his spare ti to study battlefield first aid, stabilising their injuries.
For residents with severed limbs, he stopped the bleeding and used genjutsu to suppress the pain signals sent to the brain.
He could only do so much; in terms of dical Ninjutsu, he was still an amateur.
Wuwu~~
Ah~
Throughout his rescue efforts, the painful wails of residents and the sorrow of losing family mbers were ceaseless.
"Thank you, Ninja-sama."
"Thank you."
"Mom, Dad…"
So expressed gratitude, and those who cried after being rescued.
Satoru's heart ached as he watched; if his dad and Aya died, would he be like this too?
This further strengthened his resolve to beco stronger.
Not to save the world, but at least to save himself and his family.
Ruins and broken walls were the sight of Konoha's centre at this mont.
There were many ninjas like Satoru, returning to the battlefield where the Nine-Tailed had just rampaged, quickly rescuing those who were still alive.
And outside Konoha in the distance, the battle was still ongoing.
…
Perhaps because Minato and Obito were too far away, Satoru did not perceive their battlefield all night.
He only knew that after the Nine-Tailed had rampaged for a while, the commotion in the distance gradually subsided.
He figured Minato must have returned.
At the sa ti, he also saw Naruto's teacher, Iruka Umino.
When he saw him, Iruka was crying amidst the ruins.
Judging by his age, he should be two or three years younger than him.
Satoru didn't try to build a relationship at that mont; it's not easy when your parents are dead.
"Satoru, do you still sense anyone who hasn't been rescued?"
The Guy Team trio ca up to him and asked.
Genma and Ebisu had arrived later; Satoru was a sensory Ninja, so to make the rescue more efficient, he acted as a temporary captain.
"No, everyone who could be saved has been saved; the others…"
Satoru shook his head; they were dead.
Many had died.
No wonder so many people in later generations would hate Naruto; public anger is hard to appease.
The impact was too widespread.
The Guy Team trio also breathed a sigh of relief; the night-long rescue mission had left them breathless.
"It's a good thing Satoru was here; the rescue was very tily, preventing more casualties." Genma gave him a thumbs-up.
Might Guy and Ebisu also sat on the ground back-to-back, resting.
Satoru: "Don't flatter , it's everyone's credit, not just mine as a sensory Ninja."
The ti was not over yet.
The distant morning glow was slowly rising, illuminating Konoha at this mont, making it feel quite desolate.
…
At Aya's house.
"Satoru, are you alright?"
Aya imdiately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Satoru return safe and sound.
Satoru hugged her: "I'm very capable, of course I'm fine! It's just that Konoha's losses are a bit severe!
I might be quite busy later!"
After a night of rescue and a morning of writing reports, he finally finished his mission and returned.
As for other matters, Konoha's specific plan had not yet been released.
However, he estimated he would be very busy later, so he'd rest now.
"It's good that you're alright. Contributing to the Village, I'm proud of you."
Aya stood on her tiptoes and lightly pecked him on the cheek.
Thump thump thump!
"Hey, hey, don't act like this old man isn't here, you scoundrel."
Teuchi, as if not even opening his eyes, kept tapping his left side with his finger.
Have so sense of distance, alright?
And next to him, Hiroshi, seeing this scene, smiled.
He thought, "Good boy, it seems I don't have to worry about my son's marriage."
Teuchi: "But I'm proud of you, Satoru, keep it up."
"Yes."
Receiving affirmation from his beloved and his future father-in-law, Satoru was full of motivation.
His worker bee ntality was back online.
After explaining the situation to his family, the next day, Satoru ca to the Analysis Team.
He could see that all his colleagues were in low spirits, a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
When they saw him, they just nodded in greeting.
Seishimon also arrived late.
Seeing Satoru, he sighed: "How is it? Is there any news? What exactly happened yesterday?"
He knew that Satoru's perception was very high, so he might know so information.
He only knew that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had invaded the Village, causing heavy losses, but nothing else.
"Well, all the top experts were mobilised. From the commotion, it seems Hokage-sama was successful."
Satoru's answer made Seishimon breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that it was resolved.
"There should be an announcent soon."
Satoru did not elaborate much.
Information about top combatants dying in battle could not be casually disclosed.
It might attract the covetous gaze of other Villages.
Although they too were severely weakened after the war.
Sure enough, soon after they started work, Inoichi Yamanaka's order ca down.
All mbers of the Analysis Team were to participate in patrolling the Village.
Many important combat forces were lost in the fight against the Nine-Tailed.
Even the mbers of their Analysis Team had to patrol.
Walking discreetly with Seishimon through Konoha, Satoru keenly sensed that the Uchiha were absent from the streets.
"It seems the Third Hokage-sama or other high-ranking officials are already suspecting the Uchiha.
The Sharingan is truly a troubleso bloodline."
