Fifteen corpses of Sunagakure lay scattered in the pool of blood, silencing all the Sunagakure ninja on their side.

On the other hand, the cheers from the Konoha side were deafening. Uchiha Yue, who had killed the fifteen Sunagakure, became the center of attention. He was a hero in the hearts of all the Konoha ninjas!

Undoubtedly, during the confrontation between the two great ninja villages, Uchiha Yue was able to kill twenty Sunagakure in succession. Before long, his name would spread throughout the entire ninja world. However, Uchiha Yue felt no excitement about his future Shinobi World. He only wanted to return to Konoha's side as soon as possible in case anything happened!

Clearly, Uchiha Yue's choice was absolutely correct, because at that moment, countless ninja from Sunagakure wanted to kill him.

It wasn't just because of the strength Uchiha Yue displayed in killing those twenty Sunagakure, but also because of his astonishing potential; the Sunagakure Uchiha Yue were determined to make things difficult for him. Fortunately, Uchiha Yue had already returned to Konoha's side just as the Sunagakure ninjas were about to make their move.

However, upon returning to Konoha's side, Uchiha Yue was not greeted with cheers and applause, but rather with a slap from Kushina Uzumaki!

"Smack..."

As soon as Uchiha Yue returned to his side, Kushina Uzumaki slapped him hard on the head. However, judging from Kushina Uzumaki's delighted expression, she showed no intention of scolding Uchiha Yue. Then, as Uchiha Yue gently rubbed the spot that had been slapped, Kushina Uzumaki patted his shoulder hard, excitedly saying, "Yue, you did a fantastic job! You killed twenty Sunagakure ninjas! You've truly brought honor to Konoha!"

"Moon, you truly live up to your reputation as a talent from Konoha! Well done!"

As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio beside her praised Uchiha Yue's strength. Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, was more reserved, simply smiling and watching Uchiha Yue from the side. Moreover, to Uchiha Yue's even greater surprise, Orochimaru smiled slightly at him and said, "Tsuki, well done. You've completed an A-rank mission!"

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru!"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Yue smiled and nodded. However, he couldn't be there to welcome the cheers of the Konoha ninjas right now, because he needed to properly recover his spiritual energy and Chakra, and more importantly, he needed to heal his injuries. Although Uchiha Yue's injuries were only superficial, if those wounds continued to Uchiha Yue, it would probably take him a long time to recover his strength.

So, after replying to Orochimaru, Uchiha Yue told Minato Namikaze that he was heading to the temporary hospital at the Konoha to treat his injuries. Minato Namikaze, noticing the severity of Uchiha Yue's injuries, immediately instructed him to take Uchiha Yue Hatake Kakashi back with him. After all, Hatake Kakashi had also been seriously injured in the previous battle, and if he didn't receive treatment quickly, his injuries would likely worsen.

However, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi had already dealt with the challenge from the Sunagakure ninjas, so the Sunagakure ninjas naturally wouldn't continue to provoke them. After all, Orochimaru's name was enough to intimidate the Sunagakure; as long as Orochimaru powerful figure was around, the Sunagakure ninjas wouldn't dare to act rashly. Seeing that their plan had failed, the Sunagakure ninjas slunk away from the Konoha ninjas, clearly needing to devise a new plan to rescue the Yakunin Village spy sent to Konoha.

However, none of this concerned Uchiha Yue. Even though he now possessed Chunin- level strength, Uchiha Yue was still just a nobody in Konoha's camp. To become someone truly in charge, Uchiha Yue would need at least the strength of Minato Namikaze or Kushina Uzumaki. Therefore, after Uchiha Yue Hatake Kakashi to the temporary hospital in Konoha's camp with Hatake Kakashi, he began treating their injuries.

As for Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, who were seriously injured on the battlefield, what does it have to do with Uchiha Yue?

Only the victors can swagger and triumph, while the losers can only lick their wounds in silence in the corner.

In the makeshift hospital at the Konoha, every Konoha ninja who passed by Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi praised them as the village's talents, bringing glory to Konoha. However, the severely injured Hyuga Yexing Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi Hyuga Xiyun not only failed to receive praise from the Konoha ninja, but were even despised by them. This was because, had it not been for their humiliating performance on the Hyuga Yexing, Konoha 'Konoha Hyuga Xiyun would have been a complete triumph.

Thus, Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, these two tainted individuals, received drastically reduced treatment at the temporary hospital. Moreover, because Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun were both Hyuga Clan ninjas, even the other Hyuga Clan ninjas looked at them with eyes full of anger. Undoubtedly, Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun had not only disgraced Konoha on the battlefield, but also brought shame upon the Hyuga Clan, making them unable to hold their heads high in the ranks.

Even Uchiha Yue hadn't expected that his victory on the battlefield would actually slightly diminish the Hyuga Clan's prestige at the front lines.

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue himself and Hatake Kakashi's injuries, he began to summarize his gains from the battle. Clearly, his greatest achievement was mastering the Sword Intent of the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship, and even creating two powerful sword techniques using this Falling Moon Sword Intent. However, just as Uchiha Yue carefully analyzing the previous battle, striving to further improve his combat experience, unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue before him.

"Minato- kun, Kushina, is something the matter?"

Upon seeing Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki appear before him, Uchiha Yue was puzzled as to what the two were doing, so he asked them directly.

As soon as Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze could even open his mouth, Kushina Uzumaki smiled and said, "Our great hero of Konoha knows you need to rest for a while, so Minato and I won't bother you for too long. Don't worry!"

Kushina Uzumaki paused slightly, then her smile faded, and she said seriously, "However, we have indeed come to see you about something important. Lord Orochimaru has just decided to purchase the medicinal herbs from Mr. Mikasa's caravan. However, Lord Orochimaru is somewhat worried about Mr. Mikasa's caravan, so he specifically asked me to ask you about the effects of that herb called Dragon Orchid Grass."
