Taking advantage!
This trip to Konoha had involved extensive preparations, so naturally, it was time to reap the rewards.
The ninja clans Tang Ping had visited—even though they had been revived—could now be said to have become homeless.
A heaven-sent opportunity for poaching!
Previously, some ninja clans had been reluctant to go to Tenshukaku because of their homes.
