Chapter 76
Haruto Saito sprinted through the dense mist, the wind howling as he pushed forward. Behind him, the sound of footsteps grew closer—Agakura was catching up.
This was exactly what Haruto wanted.
Getting himself chased down was proving to be harder than expected, but fortunately, everything was going according to his plan. However, his goal was not to kill Agakura.
"Wind Release: Gale Force Technique!"
Haruto formed hand seals mid-run, channeling Wind Chakra into his legs. His speed surged. He further amplified his momentum with brute force, his feet digging into the ground as he propelled himself forward at an astonishing pace.
Under normal circumstances, Haruto could not outrun a Jonin. Agakura was no ordinary Jonin either. Although he was slightly weaker than Uchiha Iwa, he was still far from an average Jonin.
But things were different now.
Haruto was pushing himself to the limit, his speed reaching its peak.
The mist-covered forest was filled with obstacles—trenches, roots, and uneven terrain—but Haruto could see the path clearly. He navigated smoothly, while Agakura, hindered by the limited visibility, struggled to catch up.
Still, Agakura did not give up the chase. The wind stirred by Haruto's movements gave away his position, making it impossible for Agakura to lose track of him.
One chasing, one fleeing—their trajectory led them directly toward the Hyuga clan's position.
