Akai's mouth twitched slightly. He thought Mirai would be taking the Chunin Exams again before long. Yet now, it had taken him only seven minutes to kill so many Root ninjas. Was he trying to go to heaven?
"Where are Danzo and the Georgians now? Also, shouldn't you be the only one here monitoring Mirai's movements? Where are the others? Did Mirai kill them too?"
Kakashi asked in a low voice. If Mirai had merely killed Danzo and his Root members, Kakashi might still have understood why he had done such a thing. But if Mirai had even killed Konoha's Anbu, it meant that Mirai's heart had already been possessed. He had abandoned his final bottom line!

Kakashi and Akai suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just then...
Thud...
