Shinnosuke Kohinata sealed the enemy's corpse inside a scroll, and then the two of them quickly left the battlefield.
During the fight, both sides had set fires and caused explosions in the dark. That was bound to attract nearby ninja. As for which side would arrive first, there was no way to tell.
Yuzuru didn't want another fight just yet. As he'd just said, having an Iwagakure demolition ninja as proof was more than enough to show that they had fully met this mission's "operational objectives."
A Kekkei Genkai ninja was a "high-performance" target worth ten ordinary ones.
Shinnosuke Kohinata had once again proved his strength. He'd dealt with his opponent more efficiently than Yuzuru, even if that opponent had been relatively weak. A ninja who could fulfill his mission was a good ninja.
As long as an enemy's abilities weren't too outrageous, the Hyuga's Gentle Fist could let them take on ten opponents at once. By comparison, Shinnosuke Kohinata's abilities were quite impressive too.
Shinnosuke Kohinata put away the scroll, then asked Yuzuru, "Should we set some traps?"
Yuzuru shook his head without a moment's thought. His reasoning was rather bizarre:
"Trap-based measures either take a lot of time or require ninja tools like Exploding Tags... Exploding Tags are too precious. They might come in handy in an emergency."
"If we're trying to cover our tracks, I have a better way."
Yuzuru formed hand seals and began releasing Fire Release Ninjutsu without pause, setting fire to a much wider area of forest... That's right, he was setting the mountain ablaze.
Compared to the ravages of war, a forest fire was nothing.
Yuzuru had stored a great deal of Natural Energy inside his body, after all. He might as well use it. Better to expend it than let it dissipate.
