"Uchiha Nanashi is here!"
Seeing three of their clan members killed, the Sarutobi Clan did not panic.
Instead, their eyes gleamed with the delight of having found their prey.
After being hunted for so long, Uchiha Hikari was no longer the little girl others could bully at will.
Without waiting for the Sarutobi clan members to form an encirclement, she directly dispelled her Susanoo.
