The outcome was obvious. The opposing team's overall strength had indeed increased considerably, but they had also undoubtedly become a target. They could swallow up other small teams, but they would soon catch everyone else's attention. Once they were targeted, their excessive numbers would cost them their mobility, and in the end, they would be buried on this land.
This time, things had gone fairly well. Although the opponents they encountered were extremely formidable and possessed the strength of six Jonin, they had still wiped them out completely.
Of course, if Shinnosuke had not been leading the team this time, if it had been an ordinary Jonin instead—or if Li had not been among them—then the team would most likely have been wiped out here.
As things stood, their side had suffered no major losses. Shinnosuke had some injuries, but none were serious. That guy fought with a savage ferocity; no one knew how he had made it this far. As for Hinata, the people surrounding her had all been Chunin. If she had not been in such a hurry to kill everyone around her at the end, she probably would not have been injured at all. Even now, she only had a few scrapes on her forearm.
Hatake Yuiga, on the other hand, was in much worse shape. That Jonin had grabbed him by the throat earlier, and an examination later revealed that his cervical vertebrae had been put under considerable pressure. Without proper treatment, he would likely be left with serious lasting effects. On top of that, a Chunin had stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a Kunai. It was not overly serious, but it was not an injury that could simply be dismissed either.
In the end, Hatake Yuiga was sent straight to the hospital. After
