"Lord Gengetsu, please calm down. The top priority is to find a way to bring those craftsmen back from Iwagakure."

At those words, Hozuki Gengetsu turned to glance at Yuki Ran-O, then snorted coldly. "I know what matters."
With that, he rose directly to his feet and said to Hozuki Eibun and Yuki Ran-O, "Let's go. We'll go meet that fellow Mu. He dared to take the craftsmen we need. This time, we'll make him pay again."
