Chapter 189: Hatred

After stabilizing Uchiha Zhaoxia's condition, Dong Shilang didn't pay too much attention to the Dragon Fire Eye Opening matter.

Zhe! Take a team in better condition and go check on Yan's side.

He had his nearby companions send the injured Zhaoxia to the rear camp, then he briefed Uchiha Yan.

I'll go check on Chiyan's side! Yan…… I'll leave this side to you~

If anything happens, report it promptly with a signal, and we'll come back right away!

His condition right now is very good; if we just waste it like that, the natural energy we've painstakingly gathered would be too much of a waste.

Moreover, the Uchiha troops stationed nearby aren't just this unit; there are two other Uchiha units stationed with them in the vicinity, mutually supporting and looking out for each other.

Dong Shilang! Your current situation……

Seeing Dong Shilang still heading to another battlefield, Yan opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back.

She was worried about Dong Shilang's current condition; the opponent had just dealt with a special Jonin plus another Jonin, and then used medical ninjutsu, which would consume too much if continued.

She and Zhe were both somewhat worried about his condition!

It's fine! I just ate a soldier pill earlier, and my condition is now very good!

Please handle this battlefield! Leave the disposal of the Rock Ninja corpses and such to them!

Also, underground over there, there's a Rock Ninja Jonin; you guys remember to be careful, in case there are any traps or such~

Hmm! Using the soldier pill as an excuse to explain my abundant chakra is also quite good.

Handling a ninja's corpse requires great caution; nobody knows what traps the opponent might have set on the body or in the ninja tool pouch.

One slip, and instead of searching the corpse, you might end up losing your life.

Hmm! Rest easy~ I'll watch over them~

Seeing that he had things under control, she didn't urge him further. This guy Dong Shilang, unlike the foolish Zhe, is comparatively steady.

No need for me to worry!

Actually, these newcomers who haven't been on the battlefield long—the 'same batch'—need me to keep a close eye on them. Otherwise, if something happens to them in front of me, when I go back I won't be able to face their parents.

From this we can see the effect of the family's early training of this batch.

With their experience, comparatively veteran battlefield soldiers can avoid many fearless casualties.

At the same time, it lets the family's main force fight on the battlefield with undivided attention.

Not long after, Dong Shilang arrived at an adjacent battlefield.

Unlike their side, here the fighting is still fierce. Neither the Uchiha side nor the Rock Ninja side can guarantee defeating the other in a short time.

They are locked in a stalemate!

And Dong Shilang's arrival successfully broke their balance.

He didn't rashly charge forward; instead, he used his advantage in concealment to quietly approach those Rock Ninja fighting desperately with their opponents.

Suddenly launching an attack, he caught them off guard.

Dong Shilang! Thanks!

If you hadn't come over, we wouldn't know how great the casualties would be~

Uchiha Chiyan, at this time, sincerely thanked Dong Shilang. Compared to Dong Shilang's side, their casualty situation is indeed quite severe.

Just counting the dead and seriously wounded, there are four! If he hadn't come to support, we wouldn't know what price we'd have to pay to defeat these Rock Ninja.

You'd better say less and conserve your strength!

Your injuries are not light; I advise you to rest properly. Otherwise, you might not withstand two waves of attacks, likely……

While saying that, Dong Shilang formed seals with both hands and began using medical ninjutsu to treat him.

At this time, Uchiha Chiyan's injuries are still fairly severe—not only does he have three external wounds, but his chakra is also heavily depleted.

If he doesn't rest properly, he really won't be able to last much longer!

Ah! I know!

But at this point, who else could come over to replace me? Also, three days ago, Xingren……

Saying this, Uchiha Chiyan couldn't continue.

His expression looked very dim!

Even his Sharingan showed some uncontrolled manifestation!

Xingren……

Upon hearing this, Dong Shilang was momentarily stunned.

Because Uchiha Xingren is the same age as him, they used to play together; if I recall correctly, that guy is now responsible for patrolling the camp, and I never expected to hear news of his death here~

Ah! Just three days ago, his squad was ambushed by Rock Ninja, and in the end……

I had promised Auntie I would protect him well, but now I don't know how to face them when I go back!

While speaking, in Uchiha Chiyan's crimson eyes, two symmetrical magatama began to slowly rotate.

A deep sense of self-blame and regret appeared on his face.

If Dong Shilang remembers correctly, Uchiha Xingren is Chiyan's cousin; they've been close since childhood, but they never imagined things would turn out like this.

No wonder he fought so desperately in that recent battle.

My condolences……

Re-stabilizing the green light in his hand, Dong Shilang could only comfort him in this way. However, such comfort was of no use to Chiyan.

Thank you! Dong Shilang!

I'll kill more Rock Ninja to avenge Xingren~

Chiyan! Xingren is also my friend; hearing his death makes me very sad~

But you're not just Xingren's relative; you're also their captain. If you get too emotional, have you thought about what their fate would be?

……

Facing Dong Shilang's question, Uchiha Chiyan did not answer immediately, but closed his Sharingan, his face showing a sorrowful expression.

But the painful and unwilling expression on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

"Chiyan! This war cannot end in a short time; only if you stay alive and well can you better help the survivors take revenge."

Dong Shilang also knew that trying to persuade an Uchiha not to act on emotion was nearly impossible. But watching the other party recklessly throw away his life and perish together with the rock ninja, he found he could not do that either.

The other party was not only his clansman and friend, but also a comrade-in-arms, and at the same time he was the captain of this Uchiha squad.
