Preparing to Return to Their World

No matter where one went, strength still came first. If Torikaze had possessed Kage-level strength, the people before him would not have been so respectful.

They would have been thinking of ways to harbor crooked intentions instead.

The Shinobi World was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no such thing as justice or evil.
