"Oh, right, Shikamaru."
Tenten seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Why don't we hide somewhere else?"
"Otsutsuki Toneri has already attacked us here."
"So he knows where we are. To be safe, shouldn't we move somewhere else?"
Shikamaru shook his head. "There's no need."
"This is the moon, Toneri's lair."
"He knows this place too well, and there are too many puppets nearby."
"Even if we hide somewhere else, Toneri can find us in no time, so there's no need to waste time on something so pointless."
Tenten nodded thoughtfully. Shikamaru did have a point.
Especially with so many wounded on the team, suddenly moving somewhere else to set up a temporary camp would take too much effort.
They would be better off spending that time resting.
"Something's moving!"
Tenten's voice suddenly rang out. She gripped a kunai, her eyes fixed on the southeast.
Shikamaru immediately tossed aside his water bottle and sprang to his feet.
"Wait!" Hōmon Hyuga suddenly raised his hand to stop them, his Byakugan fixed on the distance. "It's Kiba and Tokuma! They're back!"
"What?" Shikamaru froze, then lit up with delight. "So soon?"
"It's not just those two!"
Hōmon's expression suddenly turned surprised. "Three more people are following them. Their chakra signatures are strong. One is Sakura Haruno. The other two are unfamiliar."
"There's another woman. Her chakra is extremely powerful, and very unusual... She doesn't seem to be an ordinary ninja."
"I feel like I've encountered this unfamiliar chakra somewhere before. Where was it?"
Having also participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hōmon had, of course, seen Akame in person.
But because they had never fought, and he had been too far away at the time, Akame had not left much of an impression on him.
Shikamaru frowned, quickly searching his mind
