Legendary Ninja-Mizuki Ember

"Rakai, you bastard!" After hearing Rakai reveal his true feelings, the Fourth Raikage cursed out loud.

He truly understood Rakai's actions now.

Rakai simply did not want Kumogakure to suffer enormous losses because of his brother.

What was more, the Secret Ninjutsu Scroll was tied to the development of that secret weapon.

That was why Rakai had thought it over repeatedly before snatching the Secret Ninjutsu Scroll ahead of the transaction between the Fourth Raikage and Soji.

Although Rakai had been cursed at by the Fourth Raikage, his attitude remained firm. He had no intention whatsoever of handing over the Secret Ninjutsu Scroll he had taken.

"Lord Raikage, I hope you respect the choice my brother and I have made!" Rakai did not step aside.

After all these years, this was the first time he had defied the Fourth Raikage's orders!

Even if his brother died afterward, even if he himself was punished by the Fourth Raikage and could no longer earn his trust, he did not care.

At this moment, as Nikai's younger brother, was Rakai not also making a sacrifice for Kumogakure?

The Fourth Raikage's expression softened as well.

Iki was even moved to the verge of tears.

He knew he could not abandon everything for the village like this, which only made him admire Rakai's resolve all the more!

"Rakai, do you understand? If the treasure is gone, we can steal it back. If we cannot get it back, we can think of other ways to make up for it.

"But if someone dies, then everything is over.

"So exchanging that thing for Nikai's life is absolutely worth it!"

The Fourth Raikage was now doing his best to persuade him, hoping Rakai would hand over the Secret Ninjutsu Scroll so he could trade it with Mizuki Ember.
