Chapter 452: Future Consequences
Under the moonlight, the battlefield ravaged by Susanoo and the Great Buddha was a pitiful sight.
Every crater bore witness to the intensity of the battle that had taken place. The bloodstains on the ground had long since dried, but from beneath the earth, a pitch-black figure slithered out stealthily.
It cautiously scanned the surroundings. After confirming the coast was clear, it began gathering the scattered remnants of flesh and blood near the dried stains.
"Kawakaze Hatake, just you wait!"
Its voice was filled with venomous hatred. After venting its resentment, the black mass sank back into the ground, vanishing without a trace.
Unaware of what had just transpired, Kawakaze was reclining in a hot spring, eyes closed, basking in relaxation.
Days of exhaustion melted away in the warm water, and without thinking, an alluring image of Tsunade surfaced in his mind.
Beneath the water, a submerged dragon threatened to emerge, forcing Kawakaze to suppress his rising urges.
His skills may have dulled over time, but with Tsunade not around, he had no choice but to resort to old habits.
The journey back to Konoha hadn't been rushed, and he had taken his time, strolling leisurely and stopping along the way. It was only after a few days that he quietly slipped back into the village.
That morning, without alerting anyone, Kawakaze appeared in his bedroom.
