He set off on the road to Iwagakure.
It was quite a long journey.
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Mang looked at the Iwagakure jonin in front of him who had come to pick him up and couldn't help asking,
"By the way, who's going to teach me once I get to Iwagakure?"
The Eye Shadow Village jonin was clearly taken aback for a moment, then smiled at Luo Mang.
"Me, of course. Why else would I come pick you up and get to know you first?"
"But I thought I'd be receiving a lot of students. I didn't expect there to be just one."
At that thought, the teacher sighed. After all, his teaching assignments were divided according to the number of students.

What else could the teaching involve?
They would simply learn from each other and discuss their understanding of ninjutsu.
After that, they'd sightsee, letting the residents of both sides see people
