[Konoha News, August 3rd, Konoha Time:]

[On behalf of the Hokage Building, Konoha News issues the following statement on August 3rd, Year 51:]

[Konoha's military operations against Kusagakure and Takigakure have been a complete success! The plots of a small group of scheming conspirators have been thwarted, Konoha's dignity has been upheld, and the safety of Konoha's ninjas has been ensured...]

[Additionally, high-ranking Kumogakure officer, Jōnin Yugito Nii, has declared her defection from Kumogakure to join Konoha, officially becoming a "Kumo Defector." She aims to contribute her strength to the peace of the ninja world that Konoha pursues.]

[We promise to provide protection to "Kumo Defector Yugito Nii." At the same time, Konoha welcomes all ninjas who have been persecuted in other villages, who wish to contribute to the peace of the ninja world, and who sincerely want to join Konoha...]

The ninja world is ever-changing; the situation is always in flux.

Yesterday, the focus in the ninja world was on Konoha's crusade against Kusagakure and Takigakure. Today, no one pays attention to that outdated information, turning instead to the news of Yugito Nii's defection.

Ninja villages with slightly better intelligence networks all know who Yugito Nii is.

One of Kumogakure's two Jinchūriki, a ninja known as a hero of Kumogakure, has openly declared her betrayal?

Yugito Nii publicly appeared in front of the Hokage Building, announcing to the villagers of Konoha her departure from Kumogakure and officially joining Konoha to fight for the Will of Fire.

The situation suddenly became subtle and ambiguous.

Kumogakure had no response, seemingly choosing to ignore Yugito Nii, their former Jinchūriki. Among the people of Konoha, there were two completely opposite attitudes toward Yugito Nii's arrival.

One faction believed she was a spy sent by Kumogakure as part of a ruse; the other believed that Konoha, being a tolerant village, could fully accept ninjas from other villages who genuinely wished to reform.

However, how could the trivial public opinion of Konoha's commoners affect Lord Gojo in the slightest?

With a wave of his hand, he assigned Yugito Nii to his own guard unit.

When Yugito Nii saw the masked kunoichi who had always been by Gojo Kaigetsu's side remove her mask, she was shocked!

"You are... Pakura of Sunagakure?!"

Pakura nodded with a complex expression. "It's me."

Well then, now the once-heroic kunoichi from various villages had gathered around Gojo Kaigetsu. The last bit of unease in Yugito Nii's heart dissipated upon seeing this.

See!

She wasn't the only one; even Pakura had done it!

"Why even you..." Yugito Nii was puzzled. She had left Kumogakure for higher ideals and her own ninja way, but what about Pakura? Was it for the same reason?
