Ye Chen's pupils abruptly contracted.
He confirmed that he had not seen wrong.
Among the dozen or so Kusagakure Jonin, the man in the lead was none other than Bibiye.
His appearance also confirmed Ye Chen's suspicion.
Whether it was the Puppet Technique or the Shadow Clone Technique,
the caster could not be too far away.
"Bibiye" had detonated inside the Kusagakure Official Residence, while his real body had been outside its perimeter. This also fit the requirements of the ninjutsu.
What Ye Chen had not expected, however, was that Bibiye's real body would also take part in the Cooperation Ninjutsu.
