"Mm, no real problem. Have him switch to another Border Town and see how he reacts. Ishinomaki, for instance," Yanbai said casually.
Ishinomaki was territory the Land of Rivers had previously ceded to the Land of Fire to avoid war. It bordered the Land of Wind and was much like Hanamaki in terms of its geographical position.
