After the ninja was tossed back into the lake, a tree in the distance suddenly rustled.
Three figures in black were extremely animated. They used a spell technique which allowed them to blend into the shadows, so even if someone were to look directly at them, it would still be difficult to detect their presence.
"Koji-san has been killed! Master Hatake Shunshunshi, we have to avenge him!" one of the black shadows spoke with rage.
"Don't be hasty." A man with cropped white hair shook his head as he looked toward An Lin and his group with a grave expression. "Koji-san was a Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage Jonin. That man must be very powerful to be able to detect his presence and kill him at the bottom of the lake. On top of that, we don't know the power level of his friends either, so it's best to observe the situation first."
"Then are we just not going to avenge Koji-san?" another black shadow spoke vehemently.
