"Truly worthy of being a pillar of the Land of Grass!" Upon hearing the words of Tobirama Senju, who had just returned, Kusana could not help but sigh. "Even at a time like this, for the sake of the Land of Grass, you still refused to come back despite being in danger?!"
With that said.

"I've heard that nine out of every ten people in the ninja world are supposedly valued by you. Also... did you even hear what I just said?"
Tobirama Senju looked helplessly at Kusana. "Danzo and the others told you not to underestimate him. I know what you're thinking, but this time is different. At Danzo's request, Hiruzen and the other two are also prepared to fully assist him. They're no longer spies for the Land of Grass."
