Why had Karatachi Yagura suddenly become so brutal?
Why had Kirigakure's Blood Mist Policy grown increasingly extreme?
Why had the Kaguya Clan been exterminated?
Why had the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist fallen apart?
There was only one answer-
Shimura Danzō had been behind it all!
Well, and that Mysterious Masked Man.
Shimura Danzō, you really had committed every evil imaginable!
"Lord Light of Konoha!"
Kneeling on the ground, Mei Terumi raised her head and looked straight at Uchiha Minamoto.
"Please, you must help our Kirigakure, break the Genjutsu on Karatachi Yagura, and drive that Mysterious Masked Man out of Kirigakure for good.
"Kirigakure will forever remember your great kindness."
After saying this, Mei Terumi prostrated herself once more, pressing her head to the ground.
"Deal with Karatachi Yagura and the Mysterious Masked Man?"
Uchiha Minamoto looked at the female ninja from Kirigakure kneeling before him, his tone as calm as ever.
"That was already part of my plan."
Mei Terumi was overjoyed. She jerked her head up, her eyes full of delighted surprise.
"You agreed?!"
Wonderful!
Uchiha Minamoto had agreed!
With the Light of Konoha here, Kirigakure could be saved!
However.
Uchiha Minamoto's next words instantly froze the smile on Mei Terumi's face.
"Agreed? No, dealing with Karatachi Yagura is merely my 'existing plan.'"
Uchiha Minamoto's [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan] stared straight at Mei Terumi.
"And I have a question for you, too.
"Why shouldn't I deal with you-and these subordinates of yours-at the same time?"
As his words fell.
Cold sweat instantly soaked Mei Terumi's back.
Uchiha Minamoto was right.
From Konoha's standpoint, Kirigakure was the enemy.
Since the enemy had willingly come to their door, why let them leave?
Why not take this opportunity to wipe out all of Kirigakure's fighting forces in one stroke?
