Chapter 101: Return to Camp
Although the Third Kazekage was injured, the Suna ninja returned to the camp slightly earlier than Kawakaze.
The great battle between Konoha and the Suna ninja had also come to a temporary halt. Both sides had suffered losses, and the outcome remained undecided.
After the ceasefire, both sides heaved long sighs of relief—it was too agonizing to continue fighting at such a grueling pace.
Suna Ninja Camp
"Lord Third, what happened to you?"
Pakura looked at the Third Kazekage, who was lying on the bed with a pale complexion. She already had a guess in her mind.
"Konoha's Kawakaze Hatake was there, and the battle was already lost."
The Third Kazekage didn't vent his frustration on his subordinates despite the defeat, but his tone inevitably betrayed his disappointment.
"You lost?" Pakura asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. The Third Kazekage was a man capable of suppressing a Tailed Beast on his own.
"I underestimated him," the Kazekage admitted. Though he didn't answer Pakura's question directly, his current state made the outcome painfully clear.
"In a few days, Hatake Kawakaze will also return to his camp."
