"I agree with Lord Shihōin Naraku's proposal. Appointing Sasuke Uchiha as captain of the investigation squad is very appropriate."
Under Dianbingwei's expectant gaze, Gaara said something that disappointed him.
Damn it, as Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage, you can actually forgive what Sasuke did?!
Don't you understand how much suffering Akatsuki brought to the shinobi world?

These youngsters folded so easily!
Fortunately, the experienced Mei Terumi was still there, and Dianbingwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I agree as well."
Mei Terumi leaned languidly against her chair, her red
