After Black Zetsu and Disonas left, Shamon immediately formed hand seals. A gray, membrane-like barrier directly enveloped the entire room.
Retto nodded at Shamon, his expression relaxing.
Faced with everyone's puzzled looks, Shamon explained:
"Those resurrected through this kind of secret technique are generally controlled by the caster."
"The barrier just now can temporarily sever the connection between the technique and the outside world."
Naturally, the people of Sunagakure knew the risks of such a technique.
But seeing that the First and Second Kazekage had noticed it without even discussing it with them, they could not help but reveal admiring expressions.
The old hands really knew best. The two generations of Kazekage who had once unified the Land of Wind were indeed no pushovers.

The First Kazekage Retto let out a breath. "So the inheritance was cut off."
"Tell me how the village handled Shukaku afterward."
Seeing how concerned Retto was about Shukaku,
