Chapter 475: The Poison Called Uchiha Yin
"My wounds have mostly healed, but Mei Terumi and the others are probably in serious trouble by now. What should I do?"
Some time had passed since Mei Terumi's battle with Juzo Biwa.
Ao had reached the secret meeting place they had agreed on beforehand and waited there for a long time.
The superficial wounds he had suffered in the fight had nearly healed.

Mei Terumi laughed softly at Uchiha Yin's reaction.
A touch of sweetness warmed
