Raising Pakura's Prestige; Where in the Shinobi World Is There Sincere Cooperation? It's All About Interests
The night wind howled as thick clouds blanketed Sunagakure's night sky, leaving the starlight dim.
Chiyo wore the uniform of Sunagakure's Anbu, the corner of his mouth curving slightly beneath his mask.
He lowered his head and checked his equipment.
Kunai, shuriken, Explosive Tags—everything was ready.
Tonight, he would deliver a "grand gift" to Sunagakure in the identity of an Ice Release ninja from Kirigakure.
Chiyo stood atop a towering sand dune, looking down at the Kazekage Building not far away.
