In any case, Naruto and Sasuke attacking him had been beyond Soji's expectations, but he did not actually mind it.
They were just a bunch of kids who had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. Soji merely treated it as playing along with them.
Besides, Konoha's young prodigies were not fools.
They had long since seen from the Night Duke's attitude toward Naruto and Sasuke that he had no hostility toward them at all.
Shikamaru had been the first to notice this.
That was why he had been the first to make a move.
Soon afterward, the others gradually realized it as well.
They also felt honored to be able to exchange a few moves with such an expert from the village.
After all, the Night Duke was now a famous figure in the village. Not just anyone had the opportunity to meet and fight him face-to-face.
The series of events that followed also confirmed their guesses.
Others might not know, but at the very least, in the eyes of Konoha's young prodigies, the Night Duke was definitely not an enemy!
If he truly had been an enemy, they would not all still be standing here unharmed.
Still, it was obvious that the Night Duke had a particularly nasty sense of humor!
One could tell from the fact that Shino's swarm was still chasing Akamaru around, as well as the fact that the Night Duke had flung Hinata in Naruto's direction at the end.
In summary, the Night Duke was a mysterious person who liked messing with people but had a decent temperament!
After Konoha's young prodigies had all exchanged blows with the Night Duke, Kakashi and Itachi looked at each other. Then, the two of them approached the Night Duke together.
Their appearance also ruined Naruto's plan
