Uchiha Chen's Speech

Night concealed everything!

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness, news that would shake the entire shinobi world arrived.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire, along with a large number of ministers, had all been slaughtered in a single night.

"Yes, Daimyo-sama! We accept your order!"
