"It's okay, Chen. Let Sister Tsunade take a look!" Mikoto said.
"No. It took me so much effort to get this. What if it gets ruined during the research? What would happen to your eyes, Mikoto? I'd be fine with anything else, but absolutely not this." Hyuga Shin was utterly resolute.

"Mikoto, take it quickly! You
