"Lord Yoru Machi, the sealing of the Second Mizukage has been completed."
Although Yoru Machi had come as part of Konoha's reinforcements and possessed a certain degree of fame in the shinobi world, Mist Village shinobi theoretically had no reason to treat him with such respect.
Yet because of the strength Yoru Machi had displayed earlier, as well as his "special status" as the Mizukage's fiancé, the Mist Village shinobi had clearly begun treating him as one of their own.
Quite a few veteran Mist Village shinobi like Ao were even looking at Yoru Machi with undisguised excitement.

They did not dare dream
