"Suzuki Yuki... That year, the child in your belly, Zetsu had no choice but to let him go..." Mizuki Kaoru strained to look at the woman in Suzuki Zetsu's arms and began to speak.
Upon hearing Mizuki Kaoru's words, Suzuki Yuki's face changed color, and she turned her head curiously toward her.
She didn't understand what it meant by... having no choice...
"Your body was severely poisoned and in poor condition. Even if the child wasn't taken out, the infant wouldn't have survived, and it would have also endangered your own life... The child was always in grave danger and could have died at any moment. It was only Zetsu who always kept it from you to protect you, never letting you know! He took all the blame, all the suffering upon himself!" As she spoke, Mizuki Kaoru coughed up a mouthful of blood...
Over these years, she had never told her the truth, hoping to use this opportunity to become a wedge between her and Zetsu, to create a chance for herself.
