Chapter 171
"Demonstration?" Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed as he quickly glanced out the window, scanning the pedestrians on the street.
"Don't look, I'm not planning to kill anyone!" Haruto Saito tapped the table. Once Minato turned back, Haruto continued seriously, "The Black Armor! I found it through divine guidance and my own calculations. This ability of mine works sporadically—sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not. But today, the weather is pleasant, the conditions are just right, and I have a strong feeling. I can make a calculation!"
"Calculate? Calculate what?" Minato asked, looking confused. He couldn't help but glance outside again.
It was already nearing evening, and the sky was dim—where was the "pleasant weather" Haruto was talking about? Minato turned back to look at Haruto, his gaze clearly expressing doubt, as if he was staring at a swindler.
In the restaurant's second-floor dining area, many other patrons—mostly ninjas—overheard their conversation and exchanged amused looks.
"Is Haruto trying to scam children now?"
"He just can't go a day without causing trouble!"
"But seriously, his shamelessness is on another level. He even dares to say something as ridiculous as predicting the future with a straight face."
A bunch of buzzing flies in the background, but Haruto ignored them. He leaned closer to Minato and lowered his voice, "What I'm calculating... is treasure! This ninja world has a long history of wars stretching back thousands of years. Many nations have been destroyed in conflicts, and new ones have risen in their place. Throughout this long history, countless valuable items have been buried for various reasons. That's what I call treasure!"
"So, Lord Haruto... you're saying you can find treasure?" Minato's skepticism was evident in his tone.
"Of course! I already told you—the Black Armor was found this way!" Haruto nodded confidently, sitting back in his chair. "Alright, let's do this: we eat first, and after dinner, I'll take you out to hunt for treasure. Seeing is believing, right? No matter how much I explain, you won't believe me. So, I'll let you witness it firsthand!"
