Not long after Soji defeated Kazuya, Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi, and the Daimyo's entourage saw that the aftershocks of battle had ceased and approached together.
What they saw was Soji standing calmly amid the ruins, greeting them.

Afterward, the Daimyo had his men take the unconscious Kazuya away, and the group returned to the Daimyo's Residence.
