"It's you again." After recognizing the ninja who had fired the Water Spears, Rōshi frowned.
Rōshi was no stranger to Mu Yue. Mu Yue had first gained some recognition for his strength on the battlefield in the Land of Grass.
Though more than two years had passed since then, Rōshi still remembered Mu Yue well.
