The undercurrents stirring in the Shinobi World gradually became clearer with the passage of time.
They were amassing strength, turning themselves into towering waves and tsunamis capable of swallowing the deserts of the Land of Wind.
As for all this,
Imu, who was in the Teigu World and served as the World Government's supreme boss, merely reminded the Five Elders to keep an eye on Aramaki before turning his attention to other matters.
