The current situation was sensitive. Fully unleashing a Jinchuriki in another village was practically no different from declaring war.
No.
It was a declaration of war.
A rubbed his brow involuntarily.
His gaze fell on Yugito below. Remembering her steady nature, he felt somewhat reassured.
"Whoa~"
Darui sat nearby with one hand propping up his chin, his clothes torn and his appearance somewhat bedraggled.
Unlike Yugito or Uchiha Shingen, although he had advanced, he had fought quite hard.
After all, compared to those two, he was at a disadvantage in strength, talent, and age alike.
His current level was roughly on par with Shisui's, perhaps even slightly inferior. Making it into the main tournament had not been easy.

"I just hope nothing goes wrong."
"Whether it's fighting or war, both are way too troublesome."
A turned and shot him a look, his eyes carrying both warning and irritation at Darui's failure to live up to expectations.

Hearing that, Darui could
