Makoto stopped, and with his kunai he picked up the corpse of the sand shinobi.
A blood-stained boy appeared below the sand shinobi's corpse. He looked thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing Konoha's forehead guard.
"Don't kill me!" The boy looked at Makoto's indifferent eyes with a horrified expression on his face.
Makoto returned his kunai in his hand back into its sheath, wiped the blood on his face, and pointed to the kid on his forehead, and said,
"Don't be mistaken, I am also a Konoha Ninja; the enemy has left, and it is temporarily safe now."
"Are you Makoto-senpai?" The boy calmed down a bit, gazing at Makoto in amazement.
"Do you know me?" Makoto exclaimed back.
"I am Ryosuke Uchiha. I am one rank lower than you. I..."
"Okay! This is not the place for small talk. Your luck is good! You have not been found, and fortunately the enemy has left." Makoto interrupted Ryosuke.
Ryosuke broke out in a cold sweat and said nonchalantly, "My leg is injured, so I just lay hiding beneath the body and pretended to be dead..."
Makoto noticed that there was a long and narrow wound on Ryosuke's right leg.
"Let's leave now!" Makoto took out a bandage roll from his ninja bag and threw it over.
Ryosuke took the bandages, wrapped them randomly around his leg a few times, then gritted his teeth and got up.
The two had not taken a few steps when Makoto suddenly stopped and looked forward.
"Makoto-senpai, what's the matter?!" Ryosuke looked nervous.
Before Makoto answered, a large number of ninja appeared all around them.
Seeing the leading ninja, Ryosuke Uchiha showed joy and exclaimed, "It's Captain Taiichi!"
The middle-aged Uchiha standing in front of them frowned slightly. This tall, resolute-looking man was the elite of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Taiichi.
"You two..." Taiichi looked at them with a look of surprise but did not say much.
Soon under his order, the accompanying ninjas were divided into two parts; a small group of them began to clean the battlefield, and the larger group gave chase in the direction in which the Sand Shinobi left under the leadership of Uchiha Taiichi.
As for Makoto and Ryosuke Uchiha, they lay on a stretcher and were carried away by medical personnel.
"Finally survived." Makoto lay on the stretcher, looking sideways in the direction Taiichi left.
He was in a stagnant state just now when he heard about the Sand Shinobi's plan that they were going to ambush Konoha Ninja halfway up the mountain, but Makoto did not tell Taiichi this information.
On the one hand, there is no reasonable explanation for how he got the information.
As for the more important reason, the team he was in was originally bait, or in other words, cannon fodder who had come to die.
The commander of this battle, Orochimaru, one of the three Sanin, was the one who devised the strategy. He used one-third of the Konoha Shinobi under his command as bait so that the Sand Ninja had to spread their forces to deal with them.
Because if they did not deal with these troops, then this force that was originally cannon fodder could likely become ninja who would take the lead in attacking Kikyo Pass.
Of course, it is more likely that they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Sand before they even got there.
This information was told to Makoto by his guide, the Shinobi who guided him before he left and asked him to be careful during the mission and not to rush too fast.
However, after the end of this mission, he survived, but his guide, that Shinobi, had ended up dead.
Makoto graduated at the age of 10, became a ninja at the age of 11, and participated in the Battle of Kikyo Pass at the age of 14. He was at the upper-middle level during the same period of his life, and his resume after becoming a ninja is pretty good.
However, Konoha has no shortage of geniuses, and the Uchiha even more has no shortage of geniuses. What's more, it is normal for him to be regarded as cannon fodder; Uchiha who have not yet unlocked their Sharingan before the age of 14 are regarded as second-rate by some and even trash by the higher-ranking Uchiha.
"The Naruto World is worthy of being a world that is only fit for the strong. Even when I received my goldfinger, I still died twice."
Obviously, he did not dare to relax for a moment; he had already trained desperately, but he was still too weak when he encountered a large-scale battle like this.
Makoto thought secretly, but his eyes were currently glued to his attribute panel.

"Fortunately, I combined that equipment into the resurrection armor. Oh, and both of them entered a cooldown?" Uchiha rushed to rejoice for his previous caution.
Although there are many ways to synthesize basic equipment that had been dropped before, the resurrection armor is undoubtedly the safest. It needs 4 pieces of cloth armor to be synthesized into the resurrection armor.
But speaking of it, Shuoji's Spear also helped him a lot in the previous battle.
Just when Makoto was in a trance, the system prompt sounded suddenly.
[Do you want to open the system store? Need 998 Gold Coins]
Makoto was taken aback for a moment; looking at his Gold Coin balance, he felt a little strange.
However, it is useless to keep the gold coins anyway. He did not hesitate to pay it.
"Pay!"
[The System Store is opening in... 15 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds...]
Seeing that there is still so much time left before it opens, Makoto stopped paying attention to it and began to close his eyes to rest.
Even in this weak state after using the resurrection armor, he still did not relax his vigilance.
It was not until he returned to the camp and entered the exclusive tent of the medical ninja in the middle of the camp that Makoto relaxed his tight body.
As soon as he entered the tent, four medical staff walked towards him. Two female ninjas who looked gentle and beautiful walked to Makoto's side and began to untie his clothes and prepare to examine him.
"Relax, don't be nervous; we will be very gentle."
Ten minutes later, Makoto took a medicine packet and walked out of the tent with his eyes slightly lost.
After inspection, there is no problem with his body, just a little over-fatigue.
After all, [Guardian Angel] can restore the body to the state before injury; he has already experienced it once.
In the tent just now, the medical ninjas just scrubbed his body, gave him some medicine, and told him to go back and take a good rest.
As for the reason for him losing consciousness, it was because he was too dehydrated and fainted.
Survived.
Makoto just walked back to his tent, and the system prompt appeared again.
