Following Bieshu Feifan, Kakashi and the four chunin,
headed several dozen miles behind the Iwagakure encampment, their doubts lingering.
The six of them hid at a spot on higher ground.
Looking around at the deserted mountains, Kakashi was thoroughly puzzled.

Then a squad approached from the Iwagakure camp at the front.
Chunin Number One immediately grew excited and lowered his voice.
"Look! That squad is heading back."
Bieshu Feifan grinned.
"This is the opportunity I was talking about."
Number Two shook his head.
"That's not right, Emperor. They're returning from
