"There were absolutely no innocent people in this world. Wherever there were people, there was conflict! Not long after the First World War, perhaps the Second Shinobi World War would begin! Sometimes, Mirai even wondered whether shinobi should exist at all!" Danzo sighed.
When Mirai heard Danzo's words, he fell silent. "Mirai, is that something you should be saying? You're also one of Huo Ying's outstanding people. Why are your words so philosophical? This isn't scientific!"
