Konoha Enduring Humiliation

"How dare you say that about me!"

Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki furiously berated the Second Tsuchikage, and even forcibly silenced him: "The dead don't get to speak!"

"You—"

The Second Tsuchikage was so angry that his head ached.

In the end, the Tsuchikage had withdrawn from the battlefield of his own accord. He had already lost the moment Shirou Emiya perceived his battle plan as he carried it out. In a real battle, he would have been dead, and Shirou Emiya had only let him go out of mercy.

"Next—"

"Only two left—"

Satisfied with what he had gained, Shirou Emiya looked toward Second Kazekage Shamon and Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, intending to take the second mission next.

"To be honest."

"There's no way we can beat Lord Shirou."

"I might as well surrender too, so I don't end up like the bandage guy!"

Gengetsu Hozuki immediately raised both hands. Unconcerned that he had slacked off throughout the battle and contributed only a little, he surrendered without hesitation.

Shirou Emiya's eyelid twitched.

The Second Mizukage had surrendered so quickly that even he hadn't had time to accept the mission to defeat him!

However.

Shirou Emiya still had time.

Second Kazekage Shamon was an honest man and couldn't bring himself to act as uninhibitedly as the Second Mizukage.

Shirou Emiya hurriedly accepted the mission to end the First Shinobi World War before turning his full attention to Second Kazekage Shamon.

"Surrendering would be too great a loss of face for a Kage."

Second Kazekage Shamon couldn't help glancing at the Second Mizukage beside him, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with his decision to surrender.

"Then you can keep fighting!"

Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki retorted bluntly.

Second Kazekage Shamon shook his head. He looked earnestly at Shirou Emiya and respectfully bowed his head
