On the Sky Screen.
Watching Sarada rein in her ambitions and prepare to lie low, Chou still could not resist offering a few more words of advice.
His expression was serious, without his earlier casual air. "I'll warn you one last time."
"Even if you stop now and never cross the nobles' red lines again, the fact that you killed nobles from the Land of Lightning has already left a trail."
"Under these thousand-year-old rules, you're already on the brink of danger."
"Even if you deny it, those nobles might not let you off."
"From now on, you must be careful at every step. Don't leave them anything they can use against you."
Sarada nodded earnestly, her expression solemn.
After their conversation about the Celestial Dragons and the Otsutsuki, she had already gained a clear understanding of the situation.
"I understand the position I'm in. I'll stay within bounds from now on and eliminate every potential problem. I won't drag the Land of Rain into this or cause you any trouble."
Seeing that Sarada was taking this seriously and had fully absorbed his advice, Chou gave a slight nod.
"Since you understand, I won't stay any longer. I'll be going."
As Chou turned and was about to melt into the shadows, Sarada hurriedly stopped him, curiosity written all over her face.
"Leaving so soon? You went out of your way and risked showing yourself just to pass me information and warn me about the danger?"
Chou shook his head lightly, his tone plain and direct. "You're overthinking it."
"The Land of Rain wasn't my main destination. I still have other assignments from the Veil Organization."
"I only came to warn you because Uchiha Sen specifically asked me to pass along those few reminders on my way."
"All right." Sarada shrugged
