The Rapidly Deteriorating Situation

Fuck your mother!

Uchiha Mai practically wanted to kill Yahiko.

When dealing with Yahiko's group of three, Uchiha Mai had always adhered to the principles of treating others kindly and not getting too familiar too quickly. As an impromptu team member, he had been more than qualified.

Yet Yahiko had gone and pulled something like this.

Hanzo, who had summoned Ibuse, was a genuine demigod. He might not have been the strongest in the Ninja World when facing equally powerful opponents, but when it came to crushing weaker foes, he was utterly reliable.

Uchiha Mai had already been planning to run. What gave Yahiko the right to teach the demigod Hanzo a lesson?

It could not be helped. The two possessed different information.

Many people believed that when the demigod Hanzo had been forced back by the Sannin ten years ago, he had lost to them, or at least fought them to a draw.

Yahiko was one of those people.

But Uchiha Mai had firsthand information from those involved. Whether it was Tsunade, Jiraiya, or Orochimaru, all admitted that they had lost to the demigod Hanzo back then.

It was not as though they had been completely unable to fight back, but they had possessed no chance of winning whatsoever. They had merely risked their lives to stall the demigod Hanzo.

Yahiko had his reasons, too.

The four of them together were surely stronger than the Sannin had been back then, right?

If the Sannin could force back the demigod Hanzo, why could they not teach him a lesson? No matter what, this was four against one. The advantage was theirs!

Nagato and Konan were Yahiko's lackeys. No matter how much they respected Uchiha Mai as an outside ally, they would naturally be more inclined to listen to Yahiko.

Even
