At the sight of the three from Sunagakure, Ajisai immediately used the Summoning Jutsu and summoned a massive panda.
"Roar~"
It was a giant panda standing five or six meters tall.
Ajisai pointed at the three fighting their shadows. "Go help them take down the shadows."
With a roar, the panda charged into the battlefield.
The monk Fa Yi, seated cross-legged atop a sandstone formation, frowned.
However, when he saw that Ajisai and the three Konoha ninja were all Genin, he paid them no further attention.
"The Kazekage should have arrived by now, right?"
"I wonder how Fu Yi and the others are doing."
It had been Fu Yi who unleashed huge sandstorms and created quicksand to drive everyone in this direction.
Once the panda joined the battle, it immediately defeated all the Kage-level shadows surrounding Matsuri and the other two.

"What's going on?"
"I don't remember this place having any shadow ninjutsu," Tenten asked in confusion.
She had noticed how strange those shadows were.
Seeing that they were ninja from Konoha and Amegakure, Matsuri and the other two were initially taken aback. Then they said, "We don't know. Our shadows suddenly changed and started attacking us."
"This definitely isn't a danger that should exist in this Training Ground."
Matsuri and the other two were all ninja from Sunagakure, and they knew very well that this Training Ground absolutely had no dangers related to shadows.
Matsuri turned to Yukata. "Yukata, check whether there's anyone nearby."
Yukata nodded.
She closed her eyes.
But after a while, she opened her eyes—then opened them again—and shook her head
