Chapter 412
In the forest, Haruto Saito was running at full speed.
It was already the afternoon of the second day. Since leaving Chao Mountain, Haruto hadn't stopped for a moment.
A total of six people—Haruto Saito, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hattori Ryuuno, and Thirteen—had all successfully evacuated!
Although the flood was terrifying, and Haruto's attack was indiscriminate, someone with Hattori Ryuuno and Thirteen's strength could naturally escape with ease. If there were others in Kirigakure with such abilities, they too could have survived.
Haruto never intended to kill the truly powerful individuals.
Even after the disaster, he didn't bother hunting down the top elites of the Kirigakure army—like the Grand Commander, the Assistant Commanders, or the various Captains—despite having the chance to kill them effortlessly.
Haruto knew the flood couldn't kill everyone. In fact, it wouldn't even eliminate half of them!
The truly powerful individuals, especially elite Jonin and higher, wouldn't be killed by the flood. Most wouldn't even be seriously injured! And now that they had lost their minds in rage, hunting them down was unnecessary. Haruto wasn't afraid for himself, but he worried about Tsunade and the others. If they were surrounded and overwhelmed, losing even one person would be an unacceptable cost.
Thus, the best decision was to retreat immediately!
No hesitation!
Besides, the most important reward had already been secured!
