Yechen transformed into an Iwagakure Genin and silently slipped behind the Rock Ninja squad.
His chakra fluctuations were identical to those of the man who had died not long ago. With the battlefield in such chaos, who could notice that he was an impostor?
A gust of wind swept toward one of the Rock Ninja. Sensing something wrong, the ninja tried to dodge, but relaxed when he saw who was approaching.
