"Iga Suzumi is quite clever, she even gave the Spiritual Sword to her daughter, it seems she had foreseen my move long ago."
Matsumoto Mayu set down her teacup and said calmly,
"Where is Iga Hideko now?"
"She's returned to the Iga Clan and seems to be in retreat! Sect Master, should we take this opportunity to get rid of her?"
A cold voice emanated from the shadow.
"There's no need. If you act now, you'll only provoke a battle between the Koga Sect and the Iga Clan, although the Iga Clan is not as powerful as before."
"But even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, it's better not to tear through this layer of relations. Let's just bide our time; a mere Iga Hideko with high talent won't be able to make much of a splash."
Matsumoto Mayu shook her head and continued.
"Right, Sect Master, how should we deal with that kid?"
