"Uchiha—Itachi!" Sasuke's voice seethed with anger, and his body trembled with overwhelming excitement.
Hearing the shout, Itachi raised his eyes slightly, looking down at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye. His lips curled faintly as he sneered, "Heh, you're still only good for standing in the back and shouting. You haven't improved at all, Sasuke..."
As Uchiha Itachi launched into his performance, Uzumaki Reikawa settled in to enjoy the confrontation between the brothers.
After arriving, Samui quickly scanned the area for Yugito Nii!
Only when she spotted Yugito Nii lying lifeless on the ground did Samui's pupils suddenly widen. She let her hair hide her expression. "Were we still—too late...?"
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Reikawa had barely begun enjoying the drama before he found himself dragged into it.
"Lingchuan!"
Shibi Aburame had been at the hospital earlier, and the fewer people who knew about that matter, the better, so he still had no idea of the specifics. Looking at Uzumaki Reikawa, he opened his mouth and, clinging to the hope that it was worth a try, said, "Come back!"
Uzumaki Reikawa: "..."
"They've already killed Yugito Nii. What else is there to say?" Samui raised her head, her face icy. Even so, she forced herself to stay calm. For a ninja, acting rashly was nothing more than courting death.
And in her eyes, the man before her who could use Adamantine Sealing Chains had undoubtedly played the leading role in capturing Yugito Nii!
But after weighing the pros and cons, reason kept Samui from saying anything more. Though she was unhappy, the reality was that if Konoha could turn even one of them, it would take a great deal of pressure off their side.
Besides, what if—Yugito Nii was actually still alive, and they could rescue her quickly enough...?
