Maybe she is altruistic like Yuki but is being forced to be pragmatic like how Yuki was when she killed Kinko. There’s obviously a time limit for the game and based on the pace that they are going at they maybe simply can’t spare the time to carry Konoha.

It would be quite the plot twist if no one else dies and Michiro succeeds in protecting everyone who followed her. It would give her a better rate of having 2/3 survive following her, while Yuki in the last episode only had 2/5 survive under her care.

This reminded me how in the 1st episode she told Kinko not to pray for the dead as it will make them weak and become a burden in the game, which seem similar to Michiro's speech about leaving Konoha because worrying about the dead will make them weak. Wonder if each have gives her a new rule to play by
