Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shinji couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
However, he also understood that the Land of Demons had its reasons for doing this. After all, the priestess had sought refuge in the Hidden Leaf due to a mysterious attack. It was only reasonable that the Land of Demons would hire shinobi from the Hidden Leaf for escort, just to be safe.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Turning around, he saw Asuma Sarutobi leading two Hidden Leaf shinobi toward them.
"Great, just my luck!"
Seeing that Asuma, an experienced and capable jonin, had accepted the mission, Shinji started to feel a headache coming on.
Traveling with someone of Asuma's caliber made it much more difficult to hide anything from him.
Asuma arrived in front of the group and first glanced at Shinji, then turned to Shion and said, "Priestess, I am the jonin in charge of this mission, Sarutobi Asuma."
One of the Land of Demons' guards quickly leaned over to Shion, whispering, "This Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf."
Shion tried her best to imitate proper manners as she greeted Asuma.
At that moment, a group of people approached the embassy of the Land of Demons.
