Upon hearing these words, Chiyo felt as though her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, tangling her already chaotic thoughts even further.
She stared silently at the ground for a long while before slowly lifting her head. With a complex glimmer in her eyes, she spoke in a nearly hoarse voice, "Ebizō, perhaps you are right. I truly should have told Sasori sooner, to let him understand that he has already grown up. Sasori, are you truly prepared to know everything?"
Sasori tilted his head up slightly. Despite his youthful face, it bore a firmness and composure far beyond his years. He solemnly addressed Chiyo and Ebizō, "Great-uncle, thank you for your recognition. And Grandmother, please just tell me straight. I have grown up, and I have long been prepared to face anything."
