Chapter 139
It was clear they had escaped the Land of Rain; otherwise, the resting ninja around them wouldn't appear so relaxed.
Compared to the Five Great Nations, the Land of Rain had a much smaller territory. In just three days and four nights, even an average Chunin, as long as they didn't take unnecessary detours, could travel from the northernmost point of the country to the southernmost point.
However, this Konoha rescue team that had come searching for them didn't have any low-level ninjas like Chunin. The entire squad was composed of elite ninjas, with the weakest among them being Special Jonin.
Moreover, after finding the three of them, this squad had set off from the eastern part of the Land of Rain and traveled to the southeastern border. The journey wasn't particularly long. If it hadn't been for the various obstacles and relentless pursuit along the way, this team's speed would have allowed them to return from the southeastern Land of Rain to the northwestern Fire Country much faster than three days and four nights.
Haruto Saito knew he had been unconscious for three days and four nights. He must have missed a lot... The duration of his blackout was way too long!
"Fortunately, there's no permanent damage to your brain." Tsunade examined Haruto's injuries while speaking. "You have no idea how dangerous your condition was. Your mental energy was nearly depleted—you were just a step away from brain death."
"I had no choice at the time... Terado was about to..." Haruto started to explain, but before he could finish, he suddenly yelped in pain.
Tsunade had pinched him.
"You cruel woman! I just woke up, and you're already torturing me!"
"Less talking, follow me!"
Tsunade forcefully pulled Haruto to his feet and led him toward a small lake nearby. Haruto, however, remained silent because he had noticed the warning look Tsunade had just given him. He wasn't sure what it meant yet.
