"His growth rate is very fast!" Ebizo pointed at Mirai.
"Your opponent is Mirai!" Hearing Mirai's words, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shaken. He watched Ebizo warily.
"Ah, don't worry. Mirai won't go after someone from such a young generation!" A gentle smile was hidden on Ebizo's face. If he could be trusted so casually, Sarutobi Shinnosuke would not have survived as a ninja for so many years.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Ebizo vigilantly. He knew that this so-called deal could never be that simple.
"Hand Mirai over to us, and our side will withdraw from the battlefield!" Ebizo smiled inexplicably. "You needn't worry about Mirai. We'll provide him with good treatment. We've even decided to have Carlo get engaged to him!" he said.
