Then he laughed again. "Haha, I never thought we'd be the ones to claim this reward in the end!"
Sanzu Amado was both furious and afraid. He was furious that he and his daughter had been hunted across the world like rats, and afraid of whoever possessed such immense power that they could mobilize the entire Shinobi World.
"I'll go with you, but you can't hurt my daughter!"
Scorpion looked into the hut and saw a girl as thin as a bamboo pole. All her hair had fallen out, her face was gaunt, and her eye sockets were sunken.
"She's about to die," Scorpion said bluntly.
Sanzu Amado was nearly enraged to the point of exploding. "Of course I know that! I only ask that my daughter be allowed to spend these last few days peacefully! Once she's gone, I'll go with you!"

No matter how hard Sanzu Amado
