After Honglei helped Kara, who always wanted to accept him as his younger brother, bandage his wounds, he took off Yashu's forehead protector and a pair of broken white eyes under her protest, and then carried the quarrelsome one on his back.

Kara begins her return journey.

Kara, who is covered in tendon meat, is extremely heavy. The weight of muscles is three times that of the same amount of fat!

So even though Kara is only 1.58 meters tall, her weight is not much lighter than those who are 1.8 meters tall.

By the time Todoroki returned to the main force, the battle was over. Konoha's ninjas were all killed after the troops who served as bait came back, but Kumogakure also sacrificed three chunin in their last crazy counterattack, and the ninja was seriously injured.

There was one chuunin, and there were also quite a few casualties among the genin.

At this point, there are less than thirty people left in the entire third combat unit, including the previously seriously wounded.

Fukada was still alive, but he was almost dead. Even wiping out all the ninjas in Konoha did not make him feel better.

Todoroki carried Kara on his back and walked towards Captain Fukada. He saw Ryozo with a bandage on his head taking care of Tali who was lying there.

Tali had been able to survive until a large army came to rescue him. He suffered many injuries, but there were no serious injuries. He mainly suffered from excessive chakra consumption.

"Captain Fukada, Class 66, genin Lion Star Todoroki, and Yozuki Kara will report to you that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has been defeated by Kara!" Todoroki took a pair of broken Byakugan and ninjas from the Hyuga clan.

The forehead protector that came off was handed over to Fukada.

Kara was a little embarrassed and struggled to get off Honglei's back, but Honglei didn't agree and pinched her thigh to make her calm down.

Her body was too weak, the wound on her thigh had already reached the bone, and the meridians severed by Rou Fist would take a period of time to recover.

"Really? We finally succeeded?" Fukada took the things from Honglei's hand, "This time... at least everyone's sacrifices were not in vain..."

"Thank you, Lion Star. If it weren't for you, we might all be dead by now."

Todoroki just wanted to be humble, but Fukada didn't know if he wanted to find someone to talk to. After looking around at the ninjas around him, he continued on his own, "It's normal for companions to die in battle.

I have been a ninja for more than ten years, so this is not the first time I have seen something like this."

"But..." Fukada's eyes instantly became moist, "They... are too small, too small to be called ninjas at all... There is a child who has just reached my waist, you know?

, he was very scared, his eyes were full of fear, I knew he ran to me to seek protection, but...I could only watch him helplessly..."

Fukada's tears wet his clothes, and the ninjas around him fell silent when they heard his words.

"What on earth am I doing...what on earth am I doing! It's all me, it's all me!" Fukada beat his chest hard, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on himself.

Honglei even felt his back getting wet...

A sad mood spread among everyone.

OMG……

Todoroki couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, you are still in the Kingdom of Fire, you guys are scum.

"Captain Fukada!" Todoroki suddenly called out to Fukada, causing him to come back to his senses and look at Todoroki blankly.

"Captain Fukada, do you know that the little kid you think is at least nine years old, and I, Lion Star Todoroki, am only seven years old this year." He is 1.6 meters tall, with a broad and strong build.

The huge pair of horns on the top gave people the impression of a 2-meter-long giant, and Hong Lei spoke with a high head and chest full of courage.

"Eh!?" Fukada and Kara behind him were stunned for a moment.

"Eh!!?", the sad ninjas next to them were instantly confused.

"Eh!!!?", even Tali and Ryozo in the distance were instantly confused.

"Isn't that what war is? It doesn't distinguish between age, gender, race, occupation, status, and origin. It throws everything into the battlefield and then smashes it all into pieces. Isn't this war?

"

"Moreover, Captain Fukada, you have made a mistake on a very important thing. Now you should not focus on those compatriots who have sacrificed. Look around you. What you see is that you killed those children.

But what I see are these children who have been saved by you now, Captain Fukada, please cheer up, we are still waiting for you to lead us back alive."

After finishing speaking, Todoroki nodded to Fukada, and then carried Kara back to Tali.

"Are you really only seven years old?" Kara couldn't believe it. "How did you do it? What did you eat to grow so big? How did you grow your muscles? Why can't I look like this? You

Any tips?"

Ryozo also came over excitedly and interrupted, "I didn't expect you to be only seven years old, so wouldn't I be your brother?"

Brother, you are a big-headed devil! With a thunderous blow, Kara, who was eager to get more muscles, was thrown onto Ryozo, who was eager to become an older brother.

Ryozo hurriedly went to pick him up, but Kara, who was overweight, pinned him to the ground and couldn't get up.

Just as Tully was about to open his mouth, Honglei suddenly rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't ask anymore about things you already know!"

"Hehe, hehe." Tully scratched his head in embarrassment.

Then less than a moment later, Fukada, who seemed to have made an important decision, suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "I have decided! Our third combat unit will abandon this mission and start returning to Komiyayama Castle now.

!Everyone, the battle is over!”

Fukada's words instantly made everyone cheer, and Todoroki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the sense of responsibility to bring the remaining people back alive drove Fukada to make this decision.

"Captain Fukada! Please calm down. If we give up the mission...", the chunin, who was still calm, persuaded Fukada.

In the ninja world, even now, the debate over whether missions should be prioritized or companions should be prioritized has never stopped.

However, for ninjas, missions are life, so even in the Kumogakure Village who regard their companions as brothers, if they abandon their missions on the battlefield, there will be no consequences.

"No need to say any more! I have already decided." Fukada's eyes were very firm, "We have sacrificed enough..."

Out of a combat force of more than eighty people, only thirty people are left now, including those who were seriously injured in the second battle. If they continue to fight, they will all be buried here.

And this is the most unacceptable thing for Fukada now!
