• Shizune examined White Brow and agreed that removing his damaged shell plate was necessary to prevent further injury to his internal organs.
• Shizune warned that the operation would require prolonged chakra-intensive cutting, so Guy revealed Kubikiribōchō as their surgical blade.

• As they went to meet Guy, Shizune silently prayed that Genma would strike the right spot.
