Yechen also understood that Yuna Kurozawa had assigned him here not because of any disagreement between them, nor out of retaliation or any other such motive.
The place simply needed someone powerful to guard it.
Sea-Viewing Cliff had already been breached twice. If it happened again, not only would others begin to doubt Kurozawa, but the village would probably hold Kurozawa accountable as well. Anything less would be hard to justify.
Of course, none of that had anything to do with Yechen. He had not objected because he had complete confidence in his own strength.
His only fear was that the enemies would be too weak for him to put his abilities to use.
Besides, Yuna Kurozawa had assigned him elite squads, more than fifty people in all, to be stationed there with him.
So Yechen had agreed to guard Sea-Viewing Cliff.
Counting him and his fifty-odd subordinates, along with the personnel already stationed at Sea-Viewing Cliff, there would be nearly two hundred ninja there.
That was unprecedented anywhere along the Northern Defense Line.
It also showed that Yuna Kurozawa truly feared Kirigakure breaking through there again. Otherwise, Kurozawa would have no way to answer for it.
Once the meeting ended, Yechen did not linger. He immediately assembled his team and set out overnight for Sea-Viewing Cliff to the north.

Yechen led his team at a rapid pace, and they finally reached their destination around midnight.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened at the Sea-Viewing Cliff outpost, Yechen breathed a silent sigh of relief. He had been a little worried that the enemy might breach it before he arrived, which would have made things rather troublesome.
He was not afraid of being held accountable. He simply did not want to chase
