Ten minutes later, the group left.
Back in Kumogakure, the shinobi all hung their heads.
It was not just because almost all the chakra in their bodies had been drained for the time being, but also because of the helplessness they had felt when facing Uchiha Kazama.

Kirigakure was too far away. At most, its forces would only have reached the Land of Whirlpools by now.
So there was still room to maneuver!
