Everyone was dumbfounded. They had finally managed to immobilize the Takigakure Ancient Tree and fight their way to Hozuki Castle.
Yet Tobirama had arrived and ordered a retreat with a single sentence. They began to wonder whether he was being controlled by the Uchiha Clan's Illusion Technique.
Yagura did not ask Tobirama for an explanation. He obediently passed down the order, and all the warships turned around.
