Seeing the teasing look on Xiao Xiao's face, Xiao Xie could not help rolling his eyes at her before ignoring her teasing.
Xiao Xie first found an inn and settled in, cultivating as he waited for Kakashi and the others to arrive.
Early the next morning, Xiao Xie sensed four ninja and an old man entering the territory of the Land of Waves.
