After a long while, Shimura Danzō finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream, violently breaking free from that endless fantasy.
"But... they're already dead!"
Shimura Danzō's voice was low and slow.
Then, his previously unfocused gaze gradually sharpened and locked tightly onto Orochimaru before him, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.
