"Uchiha Mai!"
Mizunashi Yukikaze roared, his face twisted with rage. In his impotent fury, he looked just like a rabbit with its fur standing on end.
As the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure's last hope, he had sworn to protect everything. But... hadn't he failed to protect anything at all? Why had things turned out this way?
