Chapter 257: Becoming What He Hated Most
In a town on the border of the Land of Hot Water.
The Fox Squad materialized one after another in blurs of motion.
Inside a noble's estate, six bodies lay covered in white cloths.
The noble's elderly, white-haired mother tottered toward Yako, trembling as a servant supported her.
While the rest of the squad wore black cloaks, Yako was dressed in white, instantly setting him apart.
"Are you Konoha ninja?! Isn't the Land of Hot Water under your protection?! Someone assassinated my son! And my five grandsons!" the old woman cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Why are you so useless? Why?! We should have defected to the Land of Lightning just like the Land of Moon!"
'That's not quite right,' Yako thought. 'If you had defected to the Land of Lightning, we'd be the ones assassinating your son and grandsons.'
In the end, what difference did it make?
