What were that guy and Yu Ze plotting?
This thing—or rather, this so-called mission—probably even He Yin didn't know about, did she?
Could it be that Yu Ze had done it deliberately?
Was he usually pretending to suspect me, using me to draw away He Yin and the others' extra attention, thereby concealing his secret contact with Taki Chiba—or rather, his secret mission? Watching Haneda Yu Ze leave safely, Hada Ichiba withdrew his gaze, closed and locked the window, and furrowed his brow tightly.
Yet his heart was filled with doubt.
At the same time, his doubtful gaze fell on the five sealed tubes on the table.
Capsules? At that thought, Hada Ichiba frowned as he looked at the tubes tightly wrapped in paper covered with sealing characters.
Now that he looked at them, these tubes wrapped in Sealing Jutsu resembled oversized capsules. Clearly, they contained something that had been thoroughly sealed away.
This Sealing Jutsu should be Taki Chiba's.
Yu Ze did not seem particularly skilled in Sealing Jutsu, from what he remembered.
As he watched, Hada Ichiba unknowingly sat down at the table. Frowning, he examined the five containers—each so large that one could barely be held in a single hand—which now appeared to be capsules. A preliminary analysis had already formed in his mind.
Hmm...
I feel like I'm completely in the dark about this.
What exactly is this Taki Chiba up to? After reaching that preliminary conclusion, Hada Ichiba's thoughts turned elsewhere.
To be honest, although he had not contacted Taki Chiba during this time, their lack of contact was for the sake of their plan—the plan for these Chunin Exams. They had avoided contact so as not to attract unnecessary attention or create needless variables.
It could also be considered a secret mission between him
