Yichen was uninjured, and Owl breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the ninja who had finished roughly clearing the battlefield reported, "Lord Tsuchikage, the Aburame Clan member escaped. The one we killed was an Insect Clone."
Ōnoki nodded. This was nothing unusual; Secret Jutsu Clans like Konoha's were the hardest to deal with and had strong battlefield survival capabilities.
