But Juzo Biwa still didn't know that their Third Mizukage had met the same fate: Uchiha Yin had killed him outright.
"I surrender, I surrender! Don't kill me!"
Sweat covered Juzo Biwa's forehead. He was terrified.
He stopped running, knelt before Uchiha Yin, and spoke.

Juzo Biwa had barely begun to feel relieved at surviving when he sensed Uchiha Yin's movements.
But he didn't dare make a sound or move a muscle.
