Chapter 79
"Ten Kills in a Row!" Haruto Saito's heart shook. "Five thousand reputation points!"
In the reputation shop, there was a card for a tenfold increase in spirit, priced at a steep 15,000 reputation points. Haruto originally had 9,700 reputation points, and with this reward for his ten kills in a row, his total reputation would rise to 14,700 points. Just 300 more points, and he could exchange them for the tenfold spirit increase card.
Blood sprayed like mist in the wind, mixing with the white fog and turning the surroundings a deep crimson.
Haruto didn't rush to check the rewards. He stashed away the cards that Hinata Ryo had dropped and, with a swift motion, leaped into the nearby bushes, quickly distancing himself from the scene.
A short while later, Haruto found himself high in the canopy of a towering tree, its thick branches providing cover. He hid in the shadows cast by the foliage, his figure almost invisible in the dense fog. He flipped his wrist, pulling out all the cards he had earned from killing four opponents earlier.
He had obtained more magic cards and another BOSS card!
Haruto hesitated before considering the BOSS card. He was already planning to hunt down a specific BOSS. Adding another might complicate things further. His focus needed to be on Hinata Kyogoku first—he had to carefully plan his attack and look for the right opportunity. Whether he succeeded was still uncertain.
The main concern, however, was that his target BOSS might be killed by someone else!
The remaining members of the Hyuga clan included an elite Chunin, but the rest were all Jonin—two Jonin and one elite Jonin. The Sand Hidden Village still had three Jonin and one elite Jonin. They were all fighting amongst themselves. In such a situation, if Haruto used the BOSS card again, unless it randomly targeted the elite Chunin, he could quickly kill him. If it targeted a Jonin, Haruto wouldn't be able to deal a fast kill, and there was no telling who would end up killing the new BOSS.
Losing a BOSS kill to someone else was frustrating!
Hinata Kyogoku, on the other hand, was a guaranteed BOSS. He wouldn't be killed by the Sand Hidden ninjas. Not only was he strong, but the Hyuga clan was also renowned for their defensive capabilities, making him hard to kill.
