Xia Yan had never forgotten the people watching him.
As an Anbu, if his movements were being monitored, that proved his performance was exceptionally poor.
And judging by the watchers' behavior, they might well be connected to this matter. In that case, Xia Yan would never let them off!
Although they had never appeared in the original story, perhaps the Savior's plot armor had simply outlasted them.
Xia Yan remembered that this was a mission Naruto had taken, and apart from his rather miserable first thirteen years, that guy's luck had been off the charts ever since.
