The Fourth Raikage turned around and told the ninja reporting to him, "Once B has recovered from his injuries, have him bring more ninja to attack Konoha again. This time, we must win this war! I refuse to believe a mere boy could cause that much trouble!"
At that moment, the Fourth Raikage's eyes gleamed with absolute determination to win.
"Everyone's pretty much packed up, right? Get everything in order. Tomorrow morning, we'll head back to Konoha!" Chōza Akimichi stood at the front and addressed the Konoha ninja who had already rejoined the ranks.
"Great! We can finally go home!"
"Yeah, just thinking about it makes me a little excited!" Hearing that they would be going home tomorrow, the ninja spoke with delighted smiles.

The Cloud Ninja definitely won't let this defeat go! They'll come back again someday! Ruri thought as he gazed at the sun that had sunk below the mountains.
"Ruri, don't worry! As your teacher, I know what's on your mind!" Just then, Asuma Sarutobi walked up beside Ruri, rested a hand on his shoulder, and said, "They may have lost this time, but they'll definitely attack us again! No matter how many times they come, we'll defeat them!"
"Teacher..." After hearing Asuma Sarutobi's words, Ruri looked up at Asuma Sarutobi's face in the setting sun and actually felt that he looked much more weathered now.
"All right, hurry up and pack. We can go back to the village tomorrow! Make sure you get some proper rest then. After all these days of fighting, your body must be exhausted!" Asuma Sarutobi patted Ruri's shoulder and spoke to him with a smile.
"Got it, Teacher. I'll go pack right now!" With
