Chapter 378: Thunder in the Dunes, Schemes in the Tower
"A mere Two-Tails?"
"I can handle that just fine."
But Hanzō had no intention of backing down. There was no way he was giving the Two-Tails back.
A sudden surge of overwhelming aura and killing intent burst from his body.
The Third Raikage and Hanzō now stood about ten meters apart, locked in a standoff.
The sheer pressure between them stirred up gusts of wind, scattering the yellow desert sand across the ground.
Around them, the Kumogakure shinobi were already eyeing the Amegakure shinobi like hungry wolves, ready to pounce.
The Takigakure and Kusagakure ninja, however, exchanged uncertain glances—then slowly began to back away.
None of them wanted to get dragged into a fight that had nothing to do with them.
Still, many were confused.
How had things escalated to this point?
Weren’t they supposed to be here answering the daimyo’s call to arms, waging war against the Land of Wind and Sunagakure?
