The thought of all the medical ninjas, whom the village had painstakingly trained, being killed in one fell swoop had Tsunade seething with rage.
Even Jiraiya wanted to curse Danzo out.
It was bad enough that the camp had been attacked. But then to chase after the retreating enemy and charge headfirst into their ranks? What was he thinking?
And now look at him-nearly killed in an ambush, sacrificing his summoning just to escape, and now he's half-crippled.
Lost an eye, lost an arm.
And he thinks Tsunade's going to come back and heal him? He must be dreaming.
He's lucky she doesn't kill him herself.
After cursing for a while, Tsunade finally asked, "Has the message been sent back to the village? What did Danzo say?"
The Anbu ninja kept his head low, replying respectfully, "Yes, the message has been sent to the village. Additionally, Lord Danzo has recalled the ninjas stationed outside the camp. He also requests that you, Lady Tsunade, return to the camp as soon as possible."
"Screw that."
Tsunade spat out, echoing Xin's usual vulgarity a habit that once would've made her want to smack him.
But now, it felt strangely satisfying to say it out loud.
Orochimaru: "..."
Jiraiya: "..."
It was the first time either of them had heard Tsunade curse like that. For a moment, they were stunned into silence, while the Anbu ninja looked utterly bewildered.
Thankfully, he quickly collected himself, pretending not to have heard anything.
If it had been anyone else cursing like that, he wouldn't have been able to just let it slide.
But this was Tsunade a high-ranking, celebrated figure cursing out another high-ranking figure. He wasn't about to get involved in that.
He'd just have to pass on the message to the Hokage, word for word, if asked.
"Back to the camp!"
Even though she didn't want to deal with Danzo, Tsunade knew they had to return to the camp.
There were too many wounded to ignore. If she didn't save Danzo, she'd at least save the lives of the others.
More than Danzo, they were the real heroes of the village.
"Let's get going!"
Jiraiya had long since had enough of this hellish place and was eager to leave the Rain Country behind.
Nodding, Orochimaru got up to follow. But as they left the cave, he glanced back, his lips curling into a slight smile before he turned to leave.
