- Pakura-sama, are you okay?
- What?
- Swords Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shuu!!!!
- Three swords!?
- ...
- Three Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shuu are dead?!
Before I knew it, a whole crowd of shinobi and kunoichi of various ages and statuses were gathering around, asking questions, and I had to reconsider the meaning of the Hero of Suna's nickname - Pakura was really popular enough to cause such a reaction, and now Rasa's rush to get rid of a rival was becoming clear.
- Pakura no Shakuto killed three Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shuu! - There was a loud shout nearby, spreading a fairly decent distance around.
- Pakura-dono, what happened? - A jonin with graying dark hair asked loudly, causing the crowd to quiet down a bit as they waited for an answer.
- The Kazekage sent me to guard a secret diplomatic mission to the Mists, but I was ambushed by three swordsmen with support, and the protected teams stabbed me in the back," the girl said, taking a deep breath, "Rasa sold me to the Mists for a peace treaty, and if it weren't for Mizu no Seirei's intervention, this betrayal would have succeeded.
- Heard! - came a loud voice in the silence.
Whispers of 'elder' ran through the crowd. But that wasn't all - the next instant, six Anbu landed on a nearby rooftop.
- 'Pakura no Shakuto, you are being detained on suspicion of treason,' one of them announced, 'please follow me for further proceedings.
- Not so fast! Two more men in the distinctive robes of elders appeared on the roof on the other side of the street, and with them the Chunin who had been standing at the gate.
