Meanwhile... at Kakuzu's house...
Kakuzu sat on the couch, browsing something on his phone...
"The Shinobi World's financial situation hasn't been looking too good lately. Tsk, profits have dropped this quarter," Kakuzu muttered as he read.
Boom!
Suddenly, a blast outside interrupted Kakuzu's train of thought...
Kakuzu looked up at the window in confusion. Wasn't that a grenade exploding? Who the hell was bored enough to play with grenades in the middle of the night?
"Ah!" Just then, Nan Xue hurried out of her room...
Their eyes met...
"M-Mr. Kakuzu... why are you still awake...?" Nan Xue swallowed and asked awkwardly...
"I'm used to staying up this late. Why aren't you asleep either? Aren't pregnant women supposed to avoid staying up late?" Kakuzu asked, looking at her in confusion.
"What... what was that noise outside just now...?" Nan Xue asked worriedly.
After her husband died, she had wandered alone through the Land of Rain for several whole months... Every day had been spent on edge... Even the slightest noise frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep...
"It's nothing. Someone was probably messing around with grenades. Go back to sleep," Kakuzu said, shaking his head.
"Oh... okay..." Nan Xue lowered her head and returned to her room...
Meanwhile... at Danzo's house...
Daiyue was sleeping in Danzo's study... Suddenly, he sensed the door opening...
Daiyue jolted awake. On guard, he pulled out a kunai and huddled beneath the covers...
The footsteps drew closer and closer, and Daiyue's gaze grew colder...
Finally, the footsteps stopped beside Daiyue's bed...
Before Daiyue could react, the person beside the bed suddenly lifted the covers and climbed straight in...
Under the covers... Daiyue activated his Sharingan... The other person activated hers too...
Four Sharingan eyes stared at one another...
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Daiyue
