The Value of Peace

" The Value of Peace " ( 平和な世界の価値 , Heiwana Sekai no Kachi ) is chapter 14 of the Konoha Shinden manga.

## Summary [ ]

Mirai defends herself from Tatsumi 's attacks, but is unwilling to do more out for fear of harming Tatsumi. Kakashi and Guy observe that they could free Tatsumi from Ryūki 's Body Controlling Manipulated Blood by destroying the doll he holds, but are prevented from doing so themselves by the arrival of more Jashin worshipers. While contemplating what to do, Mirai recalls when she learned how to use Wind Release from Temari . She combines those lessons with her Chakra Blades to perform the Wind Release: Whirlwind Fist : she creates a gust of wind to harmlessly repel Tatsumi and then strikes Ryūki directly, destroying his doll in the process.

Ryūki struggles to get up, determined to achieve immortality despite his defeat. Mirai questions why he wants to emulate Hidan so badly, to which Ryūki responds by bemoaning the peaceful era they now live in and how inferior they've been rendered relative to their predecessors. Mirai realises that this is similar to her own feelings, as she's frequently wondered what purpose a shinobi can serve in a world without conflict. As Ryūki makes one last attempt to kill Tatsumi, Mirai finds some consolation by striking him down in order to protect her.
