Chapter 43
"Hiccup!"
After a sudden hiccup, Saitama realized his injuries had mostly healed again.
Thinking back, he noticed that even the bones broken by that Sand shinobi, Seabuckthorn, had long since mended. The only lingering pain came from the wound on his chest—courtesy of Kuwuwu's kunai.
"Let's go back," said Uchiha Lin, noticing Saitama had finished eating.
"I have a meeting to attend. As Uchiha's field commander, I'm so incredibly idle," he added with a wry smile, gesturing for Saitama to follow him out of the medical tent.
"Yeah, okay," Saitama replied, rubbing his chest. Though he was mostly recovered, some rest still felt necessary.
Just as they were walking, a ninja dropped down in front of them.
"Lord Lin! Lord Orochimaru has summoned you!"
The man was a fellow Uchiha—part of the reinforcements Saitama had come with. He recognized the face vaguely.
Nodding to him, Saitama turned to Lin. "You go ahead. I'll walk back myself." Without waiting for a response, he headed off.
"Let's go," Lin muttered, signaling Uchiha Yun to follow. He turned on his heel and disappeared in the direction of Orochimaru's tent.
