After encountering the Sand Shinobi, the medical team hurried ahead at full speed and finally reached the Konoha Camp that evening.

"Good. Have the Medical Ninja get a proper rest tonight. Tomorrow, we'll face the Sand Shinobi." Hearing that the medical team was in good shape, Hatake Sakumo immediately decided to fight the Sand Shinobi.
