Naruto carried Kazahana Koyuki back to the cave where Kakashi was waiting. Puzzled, Kakashi asked, "Naruto, what took you so long? What happened to Princess Koyuki?"
After handing Kazahana Koyuki over to Sakura, Naruto replied, "Nothing much. Princess Koyuki sprained her ankle, so we were delayed. I've already treated her, but it'd be better to have Sakura take a look. Sakura, sorry for the trouble."

Jasetsu snorted. "The only reason you've kept us alive is to get information out of us. Forget it. We'll
