The battle had begun with crushing pressure, only to end with startling abruptness.
Not just the Kumogakure shinobi, but even Konoha's shinobi had yet to process what had happened.
Tsunade and the other two turned their gazes toward Uchiha Fugaku and his four companions.
Those five Susanoo had decided the outcome of the battle in an instant.
"Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya."
"We Uchiha will head to the other battlefields first."
"This is the kind of work that suits us!"
After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku vanished with the Body Flicker Technique.
Uchiha Ryunen and the other three followed without a word, disappearing as well.
When it came to combat, the Uchiha were professionals!
Back then, their clan alone had managed to defeat an entire village.
And now, the Uchiha were no longer what they had been.
The battles that followed were even more one-sided than the fight on the main front.
The Kumogakure shinobi had already been at a disadvantage.
They were still waiting for their Kage to win on the main front and come to their aid.
But the reinforcements that arrived... were from Konoha.
And they were none other than-the Uchiha!
In the end, fewer Kumogakure shinobi escaped than died.
Far away.
"Stop advancing! Retreat immediately!"
Han stopped in his tracks, his towering body actually trembling slightly.
"Huh?!"
"Han, if we don't reach the battlefield quickly, we could affect the outcome of the battle."
"Are you saying Konoha has grown so weak that it couldn't withstand even this brief attack from Kumogakure?!"
Beside him, Kitsuchi looked at Han in bewilderment.
As the unit's deputy commander, he certainly had a say in the matter.
"No..."
"It's... Kumogakure. They've already withdrawn."
Han told him what he had sensed.
Kitsuchi froze when he heard Han's words.
Kumogakure had withdrawn?!
