Because they were only a kilometer away, the disturbances from the three battles were noticed by over a hundred ninja, including Hyuga Bin.
"Someone has stopped the Sand Ninja. A battle is underway."
"Reinforcements couldn't have arrived this quickly."
"What exactly is going on? Should we go take a look?"
"..."
Faced with the apparent interception of the Sand Ninja, the ninja behind them began discussing the situation.
"It should be ninja secretly protecting us. Lord Orochimaru must have anticipated that the Sand Ninja would launch a sneak attack, so he sent ninja to lie in wait and wait for the Sand Ninja to take the bait." Once everyone had nearly finished discussing it, Hyuga Bin added a comment and gave Orochimaru the credit.
"To prevent any further sneak attacks by the Sand Ninja, combat ninja are to remain on alert, while medical ninja will continue treating the seriously wounded." Seeing this, Medical Department head Tsunade Mikiko gave the group their orders.
"Yes." Everyone obeyed and resumed treatment.
Meanwhile, the three Hyuga Bin Shadow Clones gathered together. They found a spot far from the battlefield, used their remaining Chakra to create a temporary resting place, and started playing Fight the Landlord, completely ignoring Hyuga Bin's original body, which was still waiting for feedback.
"Pair of threes!"
"Can't beat it!"
"You can't even beat a pair of threes? Why are you playing Fight the Landlord?"
"Wasn't this the hand you dealt me?"
"Didn't you draw these cards yourself?"
"Enough, stop arguing. Play properly, and do it for me, Kato Masayuki..."
"Screw you!"
Before long, the three were loudly arguing.
Only after arguing with "Talk no Jutsu" until their Chakra was nearly exhausted did the three dispel their Shadow Clones.
At this moment, Hyuga Bin, who had trusted his Shadow Clones and had not dismissed them early, and who was already tired to the point of weakness, finally received the information from the dispelled clones and began processing the memories they had brought back.
Once he had finished processing them, he gained a better understanding of his own strength, but also felt inexplicably ashamed.
After all, the ridiculous things the three Shadow Clones had done were truly unlike something a positive young man like him would do.
Hyuga Bin even had some doubts.
Are these really my Shadow Clones? Did someone impersonate them? They even came up with such a cringeworthy name.
And why did they use up all my Chakra without leaving me even a drop?
As the battle continued, the number of severely wounded only increased.
Although Hyuga Bin's Chakra recovered far faster than that of ordinary ninja, after treating dozens of injured people, he temporarily lost the ability to continue healing. He collapsed onto the ground, chewing on foul-tasting Soldier Pills as he waited for his Chakra to recover.
It was not until the following morning that the battle was finally declared over.
The Sand Ninja suffered a crushing defeat, while Konoha won a narrow victory.
Both Konoha and the Sand Ninja suffered more than three thousand casualties.
After recovering some of his strength, Hyuga Bin worked with the others to carry the severely wounded ninja who could not move back to the camp and settle them down. Then he went to help collect the bodies of the fallen ninja.
After that great battle, Kikyo Mountain was a barren wasteland, like ruins.
Although the war had ended, the uninjured ninja would remain stationed at the front line for some time. Most of them would not withdraw until a Peace Treaty had been signed with the Sand Ninja.
Once the injured ninja returned to the village to rest and recover, they would have to head back to the front lines against Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
After helping finish the work of collecting bodies, Hyuga Bin returned to the medical tent and checked on each of the severely wounded patients under his care. Only then did he find an empty cot, lie down, and fall asleep.
His Chakra had been depleted, and he had forcibly restored it by eating Soldier Pills before continuing to treat the wounded. Coupled with staying awake for an entire day and night, Hyuga Bin felt utterly exhausted despite his physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people.
After falling asleep, Hyuga Bin had a dream. In it, he returned to the time before his transmigration. After having dinner with his friends, he went for a massage.
In the end, the young massage therapist fell asleep on top of him while massaging him. That was truly a bit too much.
Then Hyuga Bin woke up.
He smelled a familiar milk fragrance.
Hyuga Bin opened his eyes and found Momonoki Kano sleeping on top of him.
After spending more than three years together, Hyuga Bin was very familiar with Momonoki Kano's scent. Because of her name, he called her scent milk fragrance.
Hyuga Bin sat up on the cot and softly said to Momonoki Kano, who was sleeping on his thigh, "Sister Kano, sleep on the bed for a while."
During wartime, ninja did not fuss over such things. Sleeping on the same bed was perfectly normal.
"Mm, no need, Bin-kun. You're awake?" Hearing Hyuga Bin's words, Momonoki Kano groggily opened her eyes.
"Mm. I still need to check on the wounded. Sister Kano, you've been tired for two days. It'll be more comfortable if you sleep on the bed."
Hyuga Bin got off the bed and settled Momonoki Kano onto the cot before heading toward the observation area for severely wounded ninja.
Only on the way did Hyuga Bin notice that the bloodstains and sweat on his face and body had all been wiped clean by Momonoki Kano.
Sister Kano really is a good person. It's just a pity...
A week later, Sunagakure held a jonin meeting.
Because they had lost this battle against Konoha, they began the meeting by discussing the aftermath of the war.
After more than two hours of heated debate, a jonin finally mentioned a mysterious organization called the Caribbean.
