Even though Kakashi said it was fine...
Kinomoto Sakura thought to herself, then suddenly turned around and looked at Naruto with pleading, helpless eyes.
"Hm? Kinomoto Sakura..."
Naruto froze. Seeing that helpless expression, he could not help but panic...
"Who are you?"
Li Zhu looked at the four people surrounding him. His expression seemed incomparably calm as he watched the four figures who had suddenly appeared.

"I'm Jirobo, Jirobo of the Southern Gate." The fattest of the four, Jirobo, introduced himself.

The fist wind howled, tearing through the air!
Li Zhu's eyes shifted. Mirai's side attack had nearly reached him. Suddenly, he seized the opportunity. Both hands shot out and grabbed Mirai by the shoulders. He slipped behind him
