Calling it a Treasure Vault would not have been an exaggeration. How could Hanzo possibly return it to him just like that?

Sure enough, after Torikaze called the Kazekage, the Kazekage was also extremely furious and joined the battle.

Three against two did not seem like a fair fight, but Hanzo could still summon Ibuse, which barely made it three versus three.

"Lord Hokage, I still have two documents on hand that I haven't finished. I'll set out immediately and should reach your place by this afternoon."

"Good. Once you and Ōnoki arrive, I'll begin the sensory ninjutsu. Yan's whereabouts will be discovered in an instant, and the battle will break out at any moment."

After Torikaze's announcement was posted, the remaining ninjas in Central City immediately gathered around it.

"W-What does this mean? We're supposed to return to Sunagakure?"

The burly man beside him glanced at him. "Lord Hokage probably has some new move planned. Didn't they say Hanzo and Yan still hadn't been found? It's probably because of that."

"So that means we all have to return to our own villages? We finally built up some friendships, and now they'll probably all be gone again."

The remaining ninjas actively discussed the matter, trying to guess what was going on. Some directly followed the Hokage's suggestion and began forming groups to return to their respective villages.
