Bieshu Feifan and Might Duy also spotted the Kumogakure squad opposite them.
It was the arrogant, overbearing squad from the Chunin Ninja Exams.
Seeing them about to charge over, their faces full of excitement, Bieshu Feifan's expression changed, and he hurried over to Richuan Taiban.
Some Cloud Ninja had kicked Richuan Taiban back earlier, and he now lay on the ground, his fate unknown.
Bieshu Feifan went over and slapped Richuan Taiban twice across the face.

So two Cloud Ninja charged at Bieshu Feifan.
