This Is the Last Hurrah!

"Then how do you explain breaking your word and ambushing us without a shred of honor?"

Uchiha Mai gave him a disdainful look and sneered. "From that moment on, Hanzo, this could only end with one side dead.

"You never had any respect for Naruto or Konoha. Never."

For a moment, Hanzo of the Salamander had no answer.

It was true. The moment he broke his word, there was no mending things with Uchiha Mai.

Once he tried to kill someone, it was only fair for them to come back and slaughter a few of his underlings, wasn't it?

"Hanzo, where is Yahiko's body?"

Nagato fixed his Rinnegan on Hanzo and asked, "What did you do with his body?"

The question had Nagato on edge.

Yahiko's death had already devastated Nagato. If Hanzo had desecrated his body afterward—dismembered it, dissected it—that would be even harder to bear.

"Buried behind the mountain."

Hanzo of the Salamander looked down his nose at them and said evenly, "Whatever else you may say about me, I am the demigod feared throughout the Ninja World.

"Yahiko may have been naive, but he earned my respect as a fighter."

The truth was, Yahiko's body simply held no value.

If Nagato had died instead, Hanzo would have sent his body to Danzo for dissection without a second thought. A descendant of Uzumaki with the Rinnegan was worth studying.

Phew.

Nagato and Konan breathed a sigh of relief. Buried behind the mountain at Amegakure, Yahiko had at least been laid to rest.

"Everyone, that's enough pleasantries. Let's get down to business."

Uchiha Mai's eyes sharpened and blazed red. He charged Hanzo with his blade and growled, "Now comes the final hurrah!"
