Kumogakure's outskirts.
After her last conversation with Yoya, Yugito had not come looking for him again.
After all, their higher-ups had just clashed.
And Yugito had been seriously injured by Yoya.
It would have been somewhat awkward for the two of them to meet again.
Although Yoya had stabbed himself, his blade work had been extremely precise, so the injury was not severe.
After taking medicine, he had fully recovered in less than two days.
Yoya had been ordered to remain here and keep watch on Kumogakure. However, after Shamu intimidated Kumogakure,
things changed. Obito had made his move against the Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Sand Village, so the chance of Kumogakure taking the initiative to start a war had essentially dropped to zero.
Still, Kumogakure itself was now quite likely to come under attack.
Shamu's orders to him had been rather broad, telling him to return when the time was right.
Yoya saw that Yugito had mostly recovered.
He had originally intended to leave as well, but then he reconsidered.
If the Hidden Mist Village had been attacked and a Five Kage Summit was to be held, it would be somewhat more convenient for him to remain here.
After all, Shamu was effectively in seclusion now.
He could serve as a living Flying Thunder God marker here, allowing Minato to come over at any time.
It was not because he was worried about Yugito.
Yes, that was all.
Kumogakure.
"Woo... woo... woo..."
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded throughout the village.
The many Kumogakure shinobi were utterly shocked.
What was going on? This alarm, which had never sounded before, had now gone off for the second time in recent days.
The last time, it had been because some of the strongest people in the entire Shinobi World had arrived.
