It didn't take long for Zuikaku and Shoukaku to find everyone missing as the fleet was reassembled and ready for departure in a quick 20 minutes as the Sakura Empire quickly made their hasty escape from the Northern sea's with great speed,with much of the fleet tired out from the battle in the mirror sea and the large morale lost from the loss of one of their superiors,they all couldn't afford to fight another battle

When they all finally made their return to their land,they were greeted by the many ships that remained there to defend the base but instead of getting the congratulations or celebrations,that the defenders were expecting,they were instead met by the large fatigue force of the Sakura Empire that were battered and tired from their 15 hour travel back from the North

So instead of having a large celebration for the victory they achieved,the base defenders instead helped the fleet members to the medical bay for rest and recuperation with the exception of a few,who stubbornly refused to go to the medical bay with the others,they all claimed to be fine yet their words were not even half true,with their wounds and bruises showing all across their body,leading to the others to forcefully bring them to the medical bay for rest

Despite their mostly successful efforts to bring everyone into the medical bay,everyone didn't dare try their luck with one particular Battleship,who walked away from them along with a white haired Destroyer without saying a word

This of course was Nagaro and Kasumi,who just wanted to get away from everyone and make sure the other was ok and not going to do something stupid,with all that,that's happened,clearing the mind was one of the only 2 things,Nagaro had his priority on right now and Kasumi followed him,just to make sure,he doesn't hurt himself while doing so and so despite the want to be along as of right now,the male Kitsune just let the girl be as he enjoyed her company the most,compared to the others as of late

Kasumi:so,Sir Nagaro,what are you going to do now

Nagaro:...............................nothing,so why don't you go get some rest like the others

Kasumi:what about you though

Nagaro:I'll be fine,I......just need to thunk to myself,I'll be in the public gardens,so you know where to find Me,ok

Kasumi:ok,take care then,Sir Nagaro

Nagaro:you as well,Kasumi

It was then,when the 2 had gone separate ways for now as Kasumi left Nagaro's side to return to her own room,within the house she shared with the rest of the "Task Force Swirling Cherry Blossom" while Nagaro went of to a secluded part of the public Garden to go and think to himself in peace and quiet

Timeskip brought to you by more floofy Shinano and Nagaro

After a weeks time,since the battle in the mirror sea,the Sakura Empire finally fully recovered to their full strength and were ready to fight again,however due to the still huge loss of Shinano,morale was never fully restored to it's peak look,Musashi and Yamato had become a little distant from the others officers but still continued their duties as high ranking officers of the Sakura Empire

When the Sakura Empire mainland got word of Shinano's sinking,there were those who were furious with the sudden knowledge and there were those who became increasingly worried for the safety of the faction,yet the moment they found,that they found out,that her sinking was due to her protecting their much stronger and much more powerful super Battleship,many opinions changed in mere minutes

When it came to Nagaro,even the highest of authority's in the Sakura Empire have come to acknowledge that,messing with Nagaro was a death sentence waiting to happen,to deny his beliefs,to harm things or those he cares about,to disagree with his way of thinking and to get in his way was easy way to get to the afterlife and only few people dare to go against these facts
