A glass-like world released dreamlike light, enveloping Uchiha Inabi.
Under such circumstances, he had forgotten everything, even who he was.
"Is this... the Divine Kingdom?"
He slowly closed his eyes and savored this incomparably peaceful moment.
Outside, the mist that had shrouded the entire street slowly dispersed.
The vice captain of the Uchiha Police Force, Uchiha Inabi, was already lying on the ground. Standing beside him was that boy who had appeared from nowhere, the one suspected of being Elder Danzo's subordinate.
