Chapter 23: They Didn’t Eat, But They Did Cook This Plan
"Sensei, why aren't they setting more traps?"
Nami asked, brow furrowed, clearly confused as she watched the forest with intent.
Might Guy turned to Neji, voice steady. "What do you think, Neji?"
His tone was more serious now.
Today's test wasn't just for Garou's team. It was, in many ways, a lesson crafted for Neji.
"They can't fool him," Neji said calmly. "As a Jonin, Kakashi's perception is leagues above ours. Basic traps would be a waste of effort."
Lee nodded beside him, fists clenched, as if to say I understand too.
Guy chuckled, pleased. "Correct. Analyzing both sides and choosing the most fitting approach is a core ninja skill. But Neji, you've only pointed out one reason. There's another."
"Another?"
Neji frowned slightly. He had already considered Kakashi's perception, but what else could there be?
Surely, a few more traps wouldn't hurt their chances, or drain too much energy.
