"Chiyo!"
With the Baku creating a temporary barrier, Danzo seized the opportunity to break free from the encirclement. But the cost was high-one of his eyes had been pierced by a poisoned needle, the black, foul-smelling blood oozing down his face. His arm was slashed open, barely hanging on after nearly being severed by Chiyo's puppets.
So close.
As Danzo escaped their grasp, Chiyo knew that killing him now would be nearly impossible.
"Retreat!"
With a swift motion, Chiyo ordered her forces to withdraw. There was no point in continuing the fight. The mission had been a resounding success, and the Sand Village could now sit back and reap the rewards. There was no need for greed.
Danzo's reckless charge into the enemy's trap had nearly cost him his life. If they could have killed him, it would have been a great victory. But with Danzo slipping away, Chiyo knew it was time to pull back.
"Danzo-sama!"
The Root ninjas finally reached Danzo, their faces pale as they saw the extent of his injuries.
"Medical ninjas, quickly, treat Danzo-sama's wounds!"
Danzo's severe injuries sent shockwaves through Konoha's ranks, disrupting their formation and causing widespread panic. The Konoha ninjas immediately formed a protective circle around their wounded leader, abandoning any thoughts of pursuit.
But as they turned to their medics, they realized with horror that the Sand Village's attack had nearly wiped out the camp's medical unit. The few remaining medics were barely qualified, more suited to bandaging wounds than treating serious injuries. Danzo's condition was critical, and time was running out.
"Send a message to the front lines immediately! The Sand Village has attacked the camp, and Danzo-sama is severely injured!"
The Sand Village's plan had succeeded. Danzo's blind rage and overzealous pursuit had led him straight into their trap, leaving him critically wounded.
On the front lines, Jiraiya lay sprawled on the ground, letting the rain pour over him. He was utterly spent, unable to move even a finger.
Whatever happens now, let it happen, he thought, resigned to his fate. He was too exhausted to care.
Not far away, Orochimaru clutched his shoulder, panting heavily as he glared at Hanzo, who stood atop his salamander, unyielding and formidable.
Their eyes were filled with frustration. Tsunade wasn't faring much better, her chakra and strength nearly depleted.
The three of them had been battling Hanzō non-stop since the conflict began, but in the end, they were no match for the legendary leader of the Rain Village.
