Darn it what-if!Marin! I thought you'd be competent enough against Booba ninja. Tho the extras have established Sakura is actually pretty OP. I guess only Konoha could beat that.
Speaking of, curious as to what exactly Konoha was looking at. CivEng gave a pretty good hint but I'm still curious. My first thought was related to Aoi.
As for the other mystery: I actually think Ayaka didn't kill Yuri. Kuro successfully mindwiped her while Momiji covered it all up.
I actually think it was related to herself. What-ifs almost never give that kind of peaceful relief. If it was better then you’d typically feel regret. If it was worse than you’d typically breathe out a puff of air in “what a relief!” kind of way.
My best guess is “What if her childhood family tragedy never happened”. I would like to think that she is in a state of mind that makes her feel like she was always rotten to the core and no matter what, she will always be the cold-blooded killer. You know, because she had so much blood on her hands to the point where she was almost numb before her galpal came along.
But, seeing how she could be a happy and kind girl in the “what-if” machine gave her hope that there could still be better things in her if she tried. She was good before the tragedy, and she can be good eventually.
But whatever, it’s not like Hamburger-San is going to tell. That’s just my headcanon.
And I gotta say, this extra issue and all the other extras are just so entertaining. He really knows what the audience wants ~
(And bring on more powerful and skilled murders!)
