"Advisor! Don't chase them."
"If we keep chasing, we'll reach the border of the Lightning Country."
"Such deep penetration into enemy territory is extremely dangerous," Shikaku Nara said, panting.
His strength was only at the level of a jounin, so trying to pursue Homura Mitokado, who possessed Kage-level strength, was already a massive stretch.
