As dawn gradually broke, the civilians hiding in their homes in the Land of Water Capital finally dared to step outside.
One glance was all it took for those civilians of the Land of Water Capital to vomit uncontrollably.
Fog always rose over the Land of Water Capital in the morning, but the deaths of two or three thousand people the previous night had stained it blood-red. From a distance, the entire capital looked shrouded in bloody mist.

Uchiha Chisen had considered making Mei Terumi the Daimyo of the Land of Water
