Chapter 851 The Only Option
Hokage Office
After taking a few puffs of smoke from his tobacco pipe, Sandaime Hokage took a deep breath, and asked, "How is Kakashi's condition?"
Tsunade sighed, and answered, "Kakashi's body… it was burnt too much. All his muscles are damaged, and several bones aren't intact either because of the burden that they had to endure. But well… I did use everything I know in treating him so he is out of danger, and will make a full recovery… but…"
Jiraiya asked in worry, "But what?"
"It will take some time for him to recover," answered Tsunade.
"How much time to be exact?" questioned Sandaime.
Tsunade spoke, "I can't say for certain, but normal recovery should take at least two to three months under proper care."
"Two to three months?" exclaimed Jiraiya in shock, and added, "This time is a bit…"
Tsunade shrugged, "His injuries are serious… the fact that he can recover is already a miracle."
