Chisato stood in the sea, looking down at the Land of Whirlpools. It felt like a huge platter; with a single reach of her hand, she could scoop up the entire Land of Whirlpools.
But she did not do so. With one reach, the entire Land of Whirlpools would vanish in an instant.
Thinking of the consequences if she made even a slight mistake, Chisato grew a little nervous. She released her control over Susanoo and slowly descended toward the shore, where Torikaze's mist caught her.
"How was it? Did you enjoy yourself?"
Chisato smiled. "I did. Honestly, even I could lift the Land of Whirlpools directly. Why not let me do it?"
Torikaze shook his head. "Master is more steady. This isn't child's play. Besides, with you protecting the civilians, I can feel more at ease."
Only then was Chisato satisfied. "All right, I'll listen to you and take responsibility for protecting the civilians."
"By the way, do we really need to go to the Land of Iron to practice?"
"Wouldn't it be easier to just find a place in the Trial Tower? We wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone, either."
Torikaze had initially planned to go to the Land of Iron, but he had later thought of that as well.
Although most of the Land of Iron was mountainous, there was still a risk that someone might be on one of those mountains. Once they activated their Ninjutsu, they would become towering giants and simply could not watch over people as small as ants.
"Mm, I thought of that too. Let's go to the Trial Tower, find a massive mountain at random, and move it according to our plan."
Chisato was happy that Torikaze had taken her suggestion. "Mm, then let's do that."
