Chapter 95
Haruto Saito moved swiftly along the muddy road, his body gradually enveloped in a shroud of black mist. He blended into the darkness of the night, but traces of his presence remained.
Even though his body became translucent, he still disrupted the raindrops, preventing them from hitting the ground. If someone were to observe closely, they would notice a dark, humanoid figure amidst the curtain of rain—because the rainwater could not pass through him.
However, this minor flaw was not a significant concern.
A rainy night severely hampered visibility. Unless someone possessed a Dojutsu or was a sensory-type ninja, tracking Haruto was virtually impossible. He would never give them the chance to get close.
He sped forward!
The path ahead gradually disappeared, so Haruto changed course, veering down the mountainside... He needed to take a detour to infiltrate the Shiroishi encampment. Previously, he had been on higher ground, but now he was descending.
Ten minutes later.
At the northwestern foothills of Mount Shiroishi, Haruto sprinted along the rock wall, diving into the dense forest below. He continued his approach toward the Shiroishi encampment. This was the longest he had ever maintained the abilities of the Black Armor. His control over the black mist became increasingly refined, and its concealment became even more effective.
Even if a Hyuga clan member were present, using their Byakugan to track him, they would see nothing more than a moving mass of black mist.
Two kilometers from the Shiroishi encampment!
Haruto grew more cautious. After scaling a small hill within the forest, he leaped onto a tree and halted. His hands came together—Byakugan, activate!
