Chapter 191
Haruto Saito might be the most unforgettable person in Terado's entire life—without exception!
Terado was strong! Fearless! Incredibly intelligent! His willpower was terrifying! From the very first assassination mission he ever carried out, he had never failed. He should have been a legend. He should have risen from being the number one assassin of the Rain Ninja to the number one assassin in the entire ninja world. If that day, he had successfully killed Tsunade and Jiraiya, he would have become a legend.
But at the final moment, he failed!
He won the battle, but he lost to Haruto Saito!
He still remembered Haruto's last words before everything went dark: "Villains always die because they talk too much!"
Though Terado was still alive, he wasn't in a state much better than death.
Since being captured, Terado had replayed that battle in his mind countless times. He constantly questioned himself—Why did I lose? Where did I go wrong? Terado was the kind of person who always reflected on his own failures.
"It's me, Lord Terado. We meet again."
Haruto Saito looked at Terado with a smile. Though he addressed Terado as "Lord," it was clearly a taunt. Haruto had a habit of calling anyone stronger than him "Lord," regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
Terado stared at Haruto, his expression void of joy or anger. There wasn't even a trace of resentment in his eyes—only a glimmer of curiosity.
Haruto took a few steps forward before pausing. He turned back to look at the masked Anbu ninja, Oni Shin. "Lord Oni Shin, if I get too close to him, will I be in danger?"
