Shisui flashed over to Yūto. Though he had been skeptical of Yūto before, he had actually discovered Pakura leaving the Land of Wind.
"Something huge has happened! While keeping watch, I discovered Pakura heading to the Land of Water on her own, with only a Sunagakure spy accompanying her!"

"You're too kind, Lady Pakura. It was just good luck."
He knew perfectly well that it had nothing to do with his abilities.
Sunagakure's higher-ups had secretly
