Kirigakure Is Mine Now!

Kirigakure, inside the Mizukage Building.

Danzo, following behind two Kirigakure Anbu, was dripping blood nonstop. As he walked, a trail of blood followed behind him.

At that moment, one of the Kirigakure Anbu glanced back at Danzo. Seeing that his wounds had split open and that he was covered in blood, looking both flustered and miserable, the Anbu's vigilance eased somewhat. He casually asked, "Do you need us to bandage you up first?"

Moreover, none of the Kirigakure higher-ups present knew Nasu Tsukiko well. Even Mei Terumi, who also possessed Boil Release, had only met Nasu Tsukiko and could hardly be said to have had
