Kirigakure, in a secret meeting room.
Bai Ye followed Mei Terumi inside and saw that Genji was the only person in the room, sitting there waiting for him.
When he entered the Inner Hall, their eyes met, and Genji asked evenly, "You actually dared to come to Kirigakure alone? You should know that the Mizukage ordered us to kill you here!"
Genji told Bai Ye about Yagura's order outright.
Bai Ye had guessed it long ago. Besides, he was already here, and Genji had no idea what trump cards he possessed.
Still, at this point, there was no harm in saying it.
After all, Genji himself had been bold enough to plan a direct attack on Yagura and overthrow Kirigakure's government.
At Genji's words, an amused smile curled Bai Ye's lips.
This guy...
Was he really trying to put psychological pressure on me?
Unfortunately for him...
With Bai Ye's strength, there was simply nothing here worth worrying about.
They aren't going to fall out, are they? Mei Terumi instinctively glanced at Bai Ye.
She knew Genji was trying to test him.
But surely that wasn't enough to derail their talks at a time like this?
Instead, she felt the pressure bearing down on her grow heavier and heavier.
Wait!
What kind of monster was this guy?!
Mei Terumi had known from the beginning that Bai Ye was terrifyingly powerful.
But why had he cranked up the pressure at the slightest provocation?
"Is this strength enough?"
Bai Ye's voice was quiet, but the question lingered in their minds.
This...!
Of course this strength was enough!
Genji had never felt pressure like this even from the First or the Second.
This guy!
He truly was just as the rumors circulating through the Shinobi World described him: extraordinarily powerful, like his ancestor, Madara
