"Seriously, why did Lord Raikage send us to support Konoha's ninja?"
More than a dozen figures darted through the forest. Among them, a dark-skinned woman with long red hair complained unhappily. Over the past few years, because of Ueno Kei, the fragile peace of the ninja world had been utterly destroyed, and even the superficial harmony could no longer be maintained.
