"Did we win?" Inside the cave, Konan looked curiously at Nagato.
Akame had only just made her move, yet she had already coordinated with Nagato to land a brutal blow on Killer B.
Their seamless coordination left even Konan a little puzzled. She thought the battle was already over.
After all, for an ordinary ninja, taking a Shinra Tensei head-on basically meant dying without even a body left to bury!
