Chapter 28:
Konoha border, Kumo Ninja Village defense line!
In the dense jungle, a group of about a dozen swift and agile figures darted through the undergrowth with practiced ease.
Among the group, both men and women were easily recognizable by their dark skin and the sophisticated ninja swords strapped to their backs. Their attire and demeanor marked them as the elites of the Kumo Ninja Village.
"Damn it, what is the Raikage thinking, compromising with Konoha like this?" one of the men suddenly grumbled, his tone dripping with dissatisfaction.
Judging by his voice, it was clear that he was not pleased with their leader's decision.
"Exactly! After all this time and fighting, how can a mere agreement erase the hatred between us?"
"I agree! Those Konoha ninjas deserve to die!" another added angrily, his voice full of venom.
Several other ninjas in the team nodded in agreement, their expressions dark.
"Enough!" The man leading the group, a ninja named Shai, interrupted with a stern voice. "I know some of you lost family to Konoha, but Raikage-sama gave us orders, and we must follow them."
