Then, Rin Nohara walked quickly up to Qingyu, looking at his slightly tired face.
"Qingyu-kun, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Qingyu smiled at her, raising a hand to gently ruffle her hair.
"It's just that my chakra consumption was a bit high."
Qingyu spoke.
He had used up well over half of the reserves in his Yin Seal, but with his recovery speed, it wouldn't take long to replenish them.
Fighting Yugito Nii head-on in the dual state of Sage Mode and Lightning Chakra Mode indeed consumed a tremendous amount of chakra.
Coupled with his continuous release of large-scale Water Release to create a water domain at the end, and piercing Yugito Nii's Tailed Beast Cloak with Water Severing Wave, he had already used up seven or eight parts out of ten of the chakra inside his body.
Hearing Qingyu confirm with her own ears that he was fine, Rin Nohara finally relaxed her tense shoulders.
"That's great—"
Rin Nohara whispered softly.
"Alright, let's head back to the camp first."
Tsunade clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back.
Her blonde hair looked somewhat fluffy in the humid air of Shikkotsu Forest, and a few strands stuck to her cheeks, which she casually brushed behind her ears.
She glanced at Qingyu's face, confirming that although his complexion was a bit pale, it was generally normal, and only then did she set her mind at ease.
"This matter must be reported as soon as possible. Cloud Village's Two-Tails Jinchuriki appeared in this area and had a direct conflict with us, which means Cloud Village's troop deployment might have undergone new changes. The old man needs to know this news right away."
Qingyu nodded.
He looked toward Slug.
"Lady Slug, thank you for this time."
"Lord Qingyu doesn't need to be so polite."
