Chapter 278: Re-examining Konoha
Five Root ninja?
Yako thought, Don't worry, with me here, they all went exactly where they belonged.
Every single one of them.
Yako said, "At the time, I was smashed deep underground by Uchiha Madara's wooden dragon.
"The battlefield shifted from the surface to the underground, and I fought against the roots of Uchiha Madara's Wood Release.
"As for the five Root ninja, I have no idea what happened to them."
He couldn't be blamed for this. Fox had voluntarily offered to bring up the rear. If even Jiraiya had managed to return, why hadn't Mizunoto? Shouldn't Mizunoto have reflected on his own shortcomings?
Mizunoto and the four newcomers had all died in the Land of Rain. The reconstruction of Root had collapsed once again.
Truly tragic.
