The Land of Bears, Hoshigakure 2 (Continued)

Yeying and Shizang were both jonin, one bald and the other black-haired.

Although there appeared to be three jonin here, compared to the jonin of the Great Ninja Villages, these three were clearly somewhat watered down.

But that did not matter much. Small ninja villages also needed ninja with sufficiently impressive reputations to deter others.

Besides, when traveling outside, having a bigger name naturally sounded better.

At that moment, Yeying spoke with a sinister smile. "Hehe, the people in this ninja village really are easy to fool!"

They clearly knew how harmful that thing was, yet they kept offering themselves up one after another.

"Indeed," Shizang said.

At that moment, Akaboshi's eyes gleamed as he said, "Don't worry. Our time is coming soon."

"I can already clearly sense that thing will soon be mine to use. When that happens, hahaha, where in the ninja world will I not be able to go?"

"But we must also watch out for that mysterious person," Shizang said. "That fellow seems to have truly seen through us. He has come several times, trying to interfere with our plans."

"We cannot let our guard down against him. What if he suddenly appears when we are about to succeed and causes our plan to fall short at the last moment?"

"It's fine," Akaboshi said. "Some time ago, I issued a bounty through Konoha in the Land of Fire. I estimate someone will soon come here to assist us."

"We can also use this as a pretext to stimulate those children again and make them train even more seriously."

But his words suddenly stopped, because someone knocked on the door.

Akaboshi returned to his usual expression and said, "Come in."

After entering, the guard reported Naruto and the others' arrival to Akaboshi.

"Alright, I understand," Akaboshi said.
