The Rain Ninja Trio

Bold?

A little, certainly.

But to Kazan, it was nothing much.

For someone with Conqueror's Haki, numbers had ceased to matter.

Besides, his battle with the Third Raikage had given him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

In the current shinobi world, there were probably only a handful of people who could match him.
