"Your Majesty, the two senior ninjas we sent out have lost contact and it seems... they likely met their deaths near the border of Xia Country."
"How could that be? Weren't they just supposed to follow that Su Chengyu?"
Oda Kurasan's anger surged as he spoke, and the Koka ninja responsible for the report immediately knelt on the ground, quickly adding, "Your Majesty, according to the last regular report from the two, they were indeed only following Su Chengyu alone."
"Did Su Chengyu make a move?"
Oda Kurasan was somewhat surprised. Senior ninjas correspond to Nascent Souls, and to prevent any accidents, Oda Kurasan had specially assigned two senior ninjas to closely monitor Su Chengyu, instructing them not to engage with Su Chengyu but simply to keep an eye on him.
Who would have thought that with such caution, the two senior ninjas would still encounter an accident?
