Xia Yu was actually quite surprised that things had turned out this way.
He had originally planned to use this operation to see Orochimaru, the mother of his child, and unilaterally revive the clan with Tsunade in the Small Grove along the way. He had never expected a chance encounter with these two predecessors.
With these two ancestors returning to the village, the day Hiruzen Sarutobi lost his reputation might come much sooner.
