Uchiha Yin had no choice but to follow Mei Terumi to the Mizukage's Office. When they entered, Kisame and Juzo Biwa were already waiting inside. Both hurried to salute him.
It had been a long time since he had last seen them, and the reunion stirred a surprising sense of nostalgia. "All right, forget the formalities. I'm only here to ask you to do one thing!"

They spoke with such righteous conviction that they seemed to have no selfish thoughts at all. Mei
