"What's the situation now?"
Lin Guang asked Hyūga Jō beside him.
"ANBU Jian was killed."
Hyūga Jō's voice trembled a little as he spoke.

"But we haven't seen ANBU Jian's body."
One ninja spoke up. Alive, they needed to see him; dead, they needed to see his corpse. Otherwise, there was no proof that ANBU Jian had been killed.
"This is ANBU Jian."
Mei Terumi pointed at the puddle of blood-red liquid on the ground, only to
