Inside Kumogakure.
Young Ay and his partner, "B," stared at the giant that towered like a mountain.
"B... is that the Susanoo from the intel?" Ay's expression was strained.
After the village had decided to surrender, he had already sworn an oath with his partner.
No matter what happened from then on,
they would make Konoha and the Uchiha...
Pay for it!
He wasn't lacking in courage!
But now,
as he looked at that giant deity... could things really turn out the way he hoped?
"Ay... look at that." Killer B, shorter than Ay, paid no attention to the giant deity. The optimist had noticed something else.
He pointed at the people flying toward the entrance to Kumogakure.
Then he said to his partner:
"It looks like they're surrendering again!"
"They'd already prepared to die fighting after Konoha resumed its advance."
"Damn it! Are they really going to agree to that treaty the guy mentioned?!"
That was right!
The Grand Elder and the others had completely lost their nerve.
After seeing the colossal figure, just as the intel had described,
he understood!
The terms didn't matter!
As long as Kumogakure survived, that was all that mattered!
After Uchiha Genmei called out,
he immediately led a group of senior officials running over.
They didn't bring a single soldier, afraid the giant deity might misunderstand and swing the blade still at its waist...
He had brought only the senior officials. That was how determined he was to surrender!

A short while later,
inside the camp Konoha had hastily set up, Uchiha Genmei had already seen their resolve and put away his Susanoo.
Now he sat there, legs spread wide, waiting.
Whoosh—
The tent flap was thrown open.
The Grand Elder of Kumogakure looked only at Uchiha Genmei, seated in the place
