If he had known, he should have swallowed his pride a little more, or found some other way to keep those lower-ranking ninjas in Sunagakure instead of dismissing them. Now, it was already too late.
"Lord Hokage, urgent intelligence has arrived from Kumogakure."
An urgent report was delivered to Ronglin. He undid the seal and opened it to read. After seeing only a small portion of its contents, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Someone, have Tsunade come see me."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
The urgent report was not good news.
Shisui, who had accompanied Uchiha Fugaku to the Land of Lightning to help Kumogakure capture the Two-Tails, had been seriously injured due to a moment of carelessness during the battle. He urgently needed treatment.
Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, leaving Kumogakure's people helpless. When it came to medical ninjutsu, Kumogakure lagged far behind Konoha.
As for Medical Ninjas, Konoha held an unrivaled leading position throughout the entire Ninja World.
"This really isn't good news. I just hope it's nothing too serious. You useless people of Kumogakure—if you can't cure him, at least keep Shisui's injuries stable for me. Ay, you'd better pray that Shisui is all right. Otherwise, I'll be coming after you."
If anything truly happened to Shisui, Ronglin would not let Ay off easily.
"Damn it! Damn it! How did this happen?!"
Ay had been busy wiping out the enemy. When he received word that the Two-Tails had been captured, he had even been pleased for a moment. But bad news soon followed.
Uchiha Shisui, who had joined the operation, had been seriously injured in battle. His wounds were so severe that even the village's Medical Ninjas were helpless. They could only stabilize Shisui's condition for the time being.
Others believed Shisui was merely a guard by Ronglin's side,
