Chapter 126
Holding a bone, gnawed on by an unknown source, Haruto Saito slowly stood up. He tossed the bone into the air and quickly formed a hand seal with both hands. Immediately, a strange chakra fluctuation rippled from his body.
The moment he completed the seal, the bone, still mid-air, suddenly dropped into his hand and instantly crumbled into fine powder. A faint curse mark emerged on Haruto Saito's palm.
After a brief hesitation, he abruptly lowered his head, bringing his face close to his palm, and inhaled deeply through his nose.
Hiss!
All the powder was sucked into Haruto Saito's nose. He instantly threw his head back, eyes shut tight, as his body convulsed violently, as if struck by a seizure. However, the episode did not last long. Soon, he straightened his posture once more.
His breathing was erratic!
This was a forbidden jutsu! A unique forbidden technique developed by Haruto Saito himself. Born with an extraordinary sense of smell, he was naturally skilled in tracking and could even use his scent to counter-track his enemies. To maximize this talent, he had created numerous jutsu related to his ability.
Among them, the most extreme technique was the one he had just used—the Forbidden Tracking Jutsu: Absolute Scent!
This jutsu had severe drawbacks, with irreversible side effects!
Absolute Scent heightened Haruto Saito's olfactory sensitivity by more than ten thousand times that of an average person, locking onto a single scent he intended to track. This was a terrifying enhancement—after all, a dog's sense of smell was merely over a thousand times stronger than a human's.
Once his sense of smell was enhanced and locked onto a target, the effect would last for three days. However, after those three days, his sense of smell would deteriorate, resulting in permanent brain damage!
