Chapter 189: Returning to Konoha
"Finally, we're back," Kawakaze said as he looked at the gates of Konohagakure. Instead of using the Flying Thunder God Technique to enter, he walked.
"There's no need to get this excited." Orochimaru gave him a look that clearly said he thought Kawakaze was an idiot, then walked up to the gate and knocked slowly.
After a short wait, the gate opened, and two Konoha Ninjas greeted them with respectful bows.
"Lord Kawakaze, Lord Orochimaru," they said in unison.
"Hm," the two replied together before walking into the village.
"Go hand in your mission card. I have something to do," Kawakaze said, slipping the mission card into Orochimaru's hands before vanishing with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"You..." Orochimaru started, but Kawakaze had already disappeared.
"Damn it, I don't want to go!" Orochimaru muttered angrily, throwing the mission card on the ground. "Meeting you was my bad luck."
After a moment of frustration, he reluctantly picked up the card and began walking toward the Hokage building.
...
"Sensei, the mission is complete. The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki went berserk, and Kumogakure suffered heavy losses," Orochimaru said, his face expressionless as he placed the mission card on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.
