After hearing Ruri's words, Chōza Akimichi no longer had those ninja go after Killer B, instead sending them to clean up the battlefield.
"I never thought Killer B would use a piece of tentacle as his substitute and then sneak away himself. How despicable!" one ninja cleaning up the battlefield said to the ninja beside him.
"That doesn't really count as despicable, does it? He probably knew he would definitely lose to Liu Lin, so he made some preparations to escape in advance!" the ninja beside the one who had just spoken said.
"Jinchūriki are nothing special either. Showing off in front of Ruri is just proof that he overestimated himself!"
"Yeah. Anyway, we've won. Hurry up and clean up. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home!" With that, the two ninja continued cleaning up the battlefield.
What were Chōza Akimichi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi discussing at headquarters?
"Senior Chōza, we really owe Ruri this time. Without him, we would have died here long ago!" Shinnosuke Sarutobi said to Chōza Akimichi in front of him.
"Yes! We really owe Ruri for his help this time. Otherwise, the consequences would truly have been unimaginable! It's wonderful that our village has produced such an outstanding ninja!" Chōza Akimichi said with a smile as he looked at Shinnosuke Sarutobi in front of him.
Although this war was not very large in scale, merely a localized conflict stirred up by the Cloud Ninja, Ruri gained a great deal from it!
Both the chakra within his body and his Flame-Flame Fruit abilities had improved tremendously, something Ruri had never expected. Both had broken through to a higher level, making his strength surge wildly once again. As long as Ruri mastered these things in the future, his strength would presumably grow beyond all bounds.
