Chapter 483: Change of Rulership in the Land of Water
"I, Genji, pay my respects to Lord Akatsukikage."
As soon as Yahiko stepped inside, he saw an old man leaning on a cane, bowing to him.
"There's no need for such formalities, Elder Genji."
Yahiko, showing respect, stepped forward and helped Genji straighten up. He didn't even spare a glance at the Kiri-nin standing behind the elder, who had yet to disperse.
"You honor me, Lord Akatsukikage."
"I should be the one thanking you for sparing Kirigakure."
Genji remained humble, his tone devoid of any resentment.
One had to admit, the old man understood the situation well. Since he had already chosen to surrender, he no longer cared about maintaining the dignity of a Great Elder. His only priority now was ensuring the safety of the Kiri-nin behind him. Nothing mattered more than that.
"There's no need to mention it."
"I appreciate your cooperation as well."
Since Genji was being courteous, Yahiko naturally wouldn't embarrass him.
