[Lord Hanzo, are you all right?]
The flat ground from before had vanished without a trace. All that remained in the open area was a crater two hundred meters across. Hanzo stood motionless at its center.
Perhaps he had heard Mifune's voice. Standing in the middle, Hanzo slowly twisted his neck and looked toward Mifune.
[Oh! Mifune! I'm fine. I've just used up quite a bit of Chakra and stamina. I only need to rest for a while.]
In this battle, Hanzo's body had also been pushed to its limit. Because he had been somewhat careless, he had taken Haku's Daytime Tiger almost head-on.
Although the repeated interference beforehand had kept the technique's full power from landing on him, Hanzo had still pushed his body to its limit to block every threat. He was not injured, but he no longer had enough stamina to fight another intense battle.
Even the poison gas he instinctively released could no longer spread very far. Otherwise, Mifune would never have been able to approach the unsealed Hanzo so easily.
[Go track down that outsider. I wounded him severely, and he doesn't have much strength left. He should be easy for you to deal with.]
Apparently unwilling to admit his weakness in front of his subordinate, Hanzo added another sentence.
[I'll remain here in the Land of Rain and hold the fort. I'm worried that fellow was sent by another country to conduct reconnaissance. There may be others behind him.]

It was not because he had been assigned to pursue this enemy who had caused the Land of Rain
