Chapter 119
"Let's go over the key points again. First is the pendant's illusionary distortion. Second, the infusion of chakra while speaking to create a mystical, ethereal effect. Third, the snapping of fingers. The sound produced by a snap is unique, and by using chakra, we can sharpen it—making it so piercing that it can cut through noise and instantly draw attention even in a chaotic environment. And fourth, the perfect timing of these three elements; one misstep, and the whole sequence collapses..."
Tsunade spoke endlessly. As a top-tier medical ninja who only needed two hours of sleep to fully recover her energy, she was perpetually energetic.
But right now, Haruto Saito had no interest in listening to her lecture.
"Hold on, I have something urgent to take care of. I need to step out for a moment." Haruto suddenly interrupted her.
Tsunade stopped speaking, her expression turning to one of mild annoyance. However, she didn't ask where he was going. Instead, she waved her hand dismissively. "Lazy people always have excuses. Hurry back!"
She assumed Haruto was stepping out to relieve himself. And that was exactly the impression he wanted to give.
Of course, that was a lie.
Haruto quickly got up and ran outside.
Outside the cave, the rain was still pouring heavily. Haruto didn't go far. He found a massive tree in the forest—its canopy was so thick that, while the rain continued to pour outside, only a light drizzle made it through the branches.
Perching himself on a sturdy branch, Haruto pulled out a thick stack of cards!
Unknown Card Fragments. One hundred and two of them!
