Chapter 18
The Byakugan's x-ray vision was powerful—
But underwater, it was severely limited, especially at night.
Hyuga Renji's vision range had been reduced to less than thirty meters. Of course, that was still far beyond ordinary eyesight. For a normal person, even in crystal-clear water, visibility wouldn't exceed a single meter.
A Silent Approach
The killing intent was rushing toward Haruto!
As an elite Chunin, Hyuga Renji had absolute control over his body. Even moving rapidly underwater, he barely created any ripples.
The four ANBU guards stationed nearby remained in their original positions. They had all noticed Haruto taking a bath—swimming, diving, and playing in the water—yet none of them felt the need to raise their guard. They weren't going to sit right next to him while he bathed. That would be ridiculous.
The truth was—none of the ANBU assigned to protect him actually believed he would survive.
To them, Haruto Saito, the two-colored-eyed ninja from Amegakure, was already a dead man. It was only a matter of time.
Even the Hokage himself hadn't deployed enough manpower to fully protect him. So, the ANBU guards had let their vigilance drop.
The night was eerily silent. Only the rustling leaves swayed gently in the wind.
