As he walked over, Yeyu glanced at Anko and Kazahana Koyuki. "All right, the mission's complete."
Kazahana Koyuki stared blankly at Yeyu.
"H-he's really dead?"
"He probably won't be coming back to life," Yeyu replied.
Kazahana Koyuki suddenly burst into tears.
For all these years, Kazahana Dōtō had been a nightmare haunting her.
Now that he had finally been killed, Kazahana Koyuki couldn't process it for a moment.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Asama Sandayu walked over. "Mr. Yeyu, is Kazahana Dōtō really dead?"
Yeyu said, "If that was Kazahana Dōtō, then he should be dead."
Asama Sandayu shouted excitedly, "Kazahana Dōtō is dead!"
"He's dead!"
Asama Sandayu was overcome with excitement.
He had spent more than a decade plotting, only for Yeyu to kill Kazahana Dōtō with such ease.

Whatever else, Kazahana Dōtō's death was wonderful news.
At Asama Sandayu's shout, everyone came running down from the mountain, cheering with joy.
They also looked at Yeyu with awe.
He was incredibly strong. He was only a child, yet he was that powerful.
With Kazahana Dōtō gone, the affairs of the Land of Snow were naturally easy to settle.
All the ninjas in Yukigakure who refused to obey Kazahana Koyuki were killed.
Still, Yukigakure hadn't had many people to begin with.
The Land of Snow was a small country, so Yukigakure was naturally a small ninja village, too.
It had fewer than a hundred ninjas.
After Kazahana Dōtō died, only a few of his trusted followers were killed.
The rest surrendered without hesitation.
Yeyu, standing behind Kazahana Koyuki, had been able to take down even Kazahana Dōtō.
Killing them would have been as easy as lifting a finger.
Even as ninjas, few of them wanted to
