Chapter 11
Nishiki carefully examined the corpse. Since there were no identifying documents, he had to rely on the man's skin tone, the texture of his clothing, the calluses on his hands, and the old scars covering his body to determine his identity. Not every ANBU ninja had such skills, but within Konoha's Black Ops, at least one member per squad was trained in forensic analysis.
Haruto Saito steadied his thoughts and looked at the corpse again. The B-Rank Ninjutsu Random Card was already stored inside his Item Space, but he couldn't just take it out in front of everyone. Even though others couldn't see the cards, making any suspicious movements would undoubtedly attract attention.
Name: Shigure Affiliation: Assassination Recon Squad, Amegakure, Land of Rain Reputation: 1,360 points Relationship: Hostile
This was the information Haruto saw about the assassin from Amegakure. 1,360 reputation points—according to the evaluation system, this meant he was most likely a Chunin-level ninja!
Shigure's body hadn't been burning for long. His face had been completely disfigured by the explosion, but while his body had burn marks, his skin hadn't been entirely charred.
Nishiki continued his examination for a long time without standing up.
Both ends of the street were crowded with spectators. The fifty-meter-long section of the road where Haruto and the others stood was now completely empty. The discussions about Haruto hadn't stopped since they began—if anything, they were growing louder.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared to Haruto's right, draped in a black cloak, wearing a mask. His tall and imposing presence radiated a deep and powerful aura.
"Captain!" Shenhe immediately greeted him with respect.
The newcomer was none other than ANBU Captain Sakumo Hatake—Konoha's White Fang!
