Chapter 72: Naruto, Peak Human, Ch 36.2
"Then let's get moving now," Guy Sensei said.
The man nodded, then turned to Li Zhenwu, more specifically to the package on his back. "I can carry the royal heirloom for now," he said, waiting for Li Zhenwu to hand it over.
Li Zhenwu chuckled lightly and replied, "There's no rush.
There are many unknown dangers during this mission. If I hand it over to you and something unexpected happens during the transfer, you wouldn't be able to protect it, so I'll continue to carry it."
"Uh." The man hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "Alright, let's leave it as it is for now."
Since the man seemed quite anxious, Guy Sensei and his team quickly packed up their things and set off toward the Land of Bean Jam.
After leaving the city, the team continued their journey.
In a certain valley, The Three Haimaru Brothers noticed something unusual.
"Be on guard!" Guy Sensei warned loudly.
At this point, he couldn't afford to be careless; after all, the attacks had been increasingly fierce, and who could say what might happen this time?
"Finally, they've shown themselves." Li Zhenwu, leading the group, wore a faint smile.
He glanced meaningfully at the man beside him, noticing that there was no sign of panic on the man's face.
"You all, take precautions," Li Zhenwu advised Inuizuka Hana and Shiranui Gensui, then said, "As for you, sir, let me protect you."
After saying this, Li Zhenwu stepped in front of the man, looking up at him with a calm smile.
After a while, the man began to feel uneasy under Li Zhenwu's gaze. "You're Li Zhenwu, right? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you still pretending at this point?" Li Zhenwu smirked, asking without hesitation.
The man's expression shifted slightly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"This is troublesome. It seems you don't want to admit it, so I'll just say it," Li Zhenwu sneered. "Since our first meeting, you've exposed too many flaws."
"I don't know how you learned the specifics of our task, the route, and the code words... but you're not the real mission issuer, are you?"
"What do you mean?" The man's face changed drastically and he looked increasingly grim.
Both Guy Sensei and Inuizuka Hana were equally surprised.
"Zhenwu... what do you mean by that?"
"It's simple. Even though this man can detail our objectives and knows the code, he is not the one who issued the mission."
Li Zhenwu explained, "Because he has revealed far too many flaws!"
