Chapter 350 - Danzo's Shame

The Hidden Sand pulled a surprise attack,

hitting our camp from behind. The camp was breached, and the medical unit was decimated. Most of our medical ninjas were killed, and Danzo was severely injured, losing an eye and an arm."

Has karma finally caught up to him?

Chiyo played this move brilliantly!

Why couldn't she have just finished the job and taken

Danzo out entirely?

What a shame.

Xin silently gave Chiyo a nod of approval in his mind.

The only downside was the loss of the medical unit; losing so many medics would hurt Konoha deeply. Training medical ninjas wasn't easy.

Everyone else was left in stunned silence.

They now understood why Xin had reacted the way he did earlier.

The camp was breached by the Hidden Sand? The medical unit was wiped out? Danzo's now a one-eyed, one-armed man?

Holy crap, the Hidden Sand is really pushing their luck.

"Alright, everyone, pack up. We're heading back to the camp immediately."

With the Hidden Sand's sneak attack, the camp had suffered greatly, and now they needed to regroup.

Since the Hidden Rain had been defeated, the next step would be negotiations. To prevent any further sneak attacks, they needed to bolster the camp's defenses.

Poor Danzo probably thought he had everything under control, just waiting for the war to end and for negotiations to conclude so he could return to the village as a hero, a celebrated figure.

But now, that's all gone.

Chiyo's sneak attack had shattered all his plans.

At this point, Danzo would be lucky if he wasn't held accountable. If anyone had to take the blame for this disaster, it would be Danzo, the "Shadow Hokage."

No one else could bear the weight of this failure.

Thinking of how Danzo had been so eager to gain glory and become a hero of the village, possibly even aiming to become the Fourth Hokage, Xin couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.

He had to admit, Chiyo's move was incredibly cunning.

...

The war was over, but no one looked particularly pleased, especially not Tsunade, Jiraiya, or Orochimaru.

They had ordered the other ninjas to take the wounded and the bodies of their fallen comrades back to the camp, while the three of them remained on the battlefield to recuperate.

Now, the three sat inside a cave, silently staring at the fire.

They should have been celebrating, but the title of "Sannin" that Hanzo had so condescendingly bestowed upon them had left a bitter taste in their mouths.

What made it worse was that everyone else saw it as an honor.

"Are we just going to sit here? When are we heading back? I'm done with this miserable Rain Country weather," Jiraiya finally broke the silence, unable to contain his frustration.

What, eager to get back to peeping? Orochimaru shot Jiraiya a sideways glance, which Jiraiya promptly returned.

He might fear Tsunade, but he wasn't about to back down to Orochimaru. The two locked eyes, the tension palpable.

"Lord Orochimaru, urgent message from the camp."
