Chapter 97
It wasn't that Haruto Saito was slow to react, but rather that he realized the sensory technique far too late. A sensory-type ninja of elite jōnin level naturally possessed an extremely powerful passive awareness ability. If such a ninja actively used a specialized sensory technique, the effect would be terrifying.
Without a second thought, Haruto Saito transformed into black smoke and disappeared, reappearing in the forest over a hundred meters away from the mansion. However, it was futile. Inui's sensory range was expanding outward in an explosive manner. The Black Armor Flash required him to construct a thought in his mind before executing it. While he could do it instantly, it still took time.
Inui's sensory energy swept over Haruto Saito once again.
There was no escape. Inui's sensory technique had already enveloped an area spanning several kilometers in mere moments, covering the entire White Stone encampment. Even if Haruto Saito used all five of his Black Armor Flash abilities in succession, he still wouldn't be able to escape the range of this sensory technique.
In truth, some secret techniques could evade detection from sensory ninjutsu. Even if one remained within its range, they wouldn't be discovered. Mental-type sensory techniques were the most common, but their effectiveness paled in comparison to physical sensory techniques. For instance, in the original chronicles, Gaara's sand could perform physical detection, even sensing the presence of the Second Tsuchikage Mu, who was capable of invisibility.
However, Haruto Saito had not mastered any superior anti-sensory techniques.
"Damn it!" Haruto Saito cursed, glancing back toward the mansion.
His Byakugan was still active. His gaze penetrated the walls and locked onto Inui.
If Inui decided to pursue him, he would have to flee immediately!
But then, he saw Inui maintaining a hand seal, his eyes now closed. The fluctuating aura of his mental-type sensory technique blanketed the entire White Stone encampment. He remained still for a while before suddenly opening his eyes.
It seemed... he hadn't noticed anything?!
