Chapter 690: Disastrous Injuries!
A few hundred kilometers to the East of the Village Hidden in the Clouds, a huge forest fire was spreading in the Land of Lightning. In one part of this forest fire was a large dome-shaped barrier containing nearly 400 ninjas, who were anxiously waiting. In another part was what looked like a gigantic blue cat who seemed to have been brutally tortured. Next to it were four injured ninjas.
Yugito looked carefully at the flames burning in the skies, attempting to look for their opponent. C approached Jin and began healing him. Darui and Samui walked next to him and asked, "Where is he?"
As he healed Jin, C answered, "I'm not sure. His chakra disappeared moments after that Lightning sphere suddenly appeared on the ground."
Darui and Samui frowned. Jin finally stopped spasming. Using all his strength, he said, "I saw him using the Reverse Summoning jutsu just when that sphere exploded. He escaped…"
The reason why Jin had been slower was because he kept an eye on Fujin. Among the five Kumo ninjas, he had been the only one to do so.
Samui, Darui and C had complicated expressions. On one hand, they were upset that the murderer of their comrades had escaped scot-free. On the other hand, they were relieved that he left. Otherwise, they could have died as well. With them out of the way, the entire army could've been annihilated.
Finally, Darui sighed and said, "Sorry, old man. You had to suffer due to my incompetence."
Jin just chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I have to work my old bones occasionally."
He thought, 'Besides, I can't really blame you. After all, I should have been the one to spot that deadly trap.'
