The Defeated Hokage!

I have one thing to say, and I have to say it today!

Tang Ping stared at the crater before him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Yes, he had indeed planned to let the surviving Ryūchi Cave forces—Manda, Kouga, Tagorihime, and the rest—escape. That was why he had not let Hinata Cang Yue use the Tenseigan to search for the snakes.

Especially after the Fire Extinguishing Plan. Their hands
