Faced with Sasori's surging killing intent, Tobirama remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on Anyo. The atmosphere was unbearably tense.
Everyone around them fell silent, not daring to interrupt carelessly. This was no minor scuffle like Anyo's battle against Naruto and Sasuke. The future of the entire world was at stake. If the talks broke down, the course of the future would change.
Anyo stretched out a hand to stop Sasori and shook his head lightly at him.
Sasori reluctantly withdrew his killing intent, unable to stop himself from crying out inwardly: Kurotsuchi, don't do anything foolish. You were the one who changed this world, yet you have to leave in the end? What kind of sense does that make?

Hagoromo, standing to the side, frowned at the sight. Yet even
