Chapter 205
Haruto Saito's Lightning Release: Pseudo-Dark ability came from absorbing skill cards. Though his hand-seal speed was fixed, it was extremely fast, and the power of his lightning was far greater than that of an average Pseudo-Dark user.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised by this. However, such an attack still couldn't harm him.
Without even forming a visible seal, he simply raised his hand to his mouth and exhaled a flame like an arrow. Though the fire's power wasn't immense, it directly collided with the Pseudo-Dark attack, dispersing it upon impact. Due to the nature of its properties, the Pseudo-Dark technique was ignited and exploded instantly. Sarutobi used this opportunity to retreat swiftly with the lightning flash, dodging the attack completely with another flicker.
Pseudo-Dark's direct attack speed was the fastest, but once it was detonated, the reaction speed would slow down considerably. That was the purpose behind Sarutobi's fire technique—buying himself just enough time to evade more easily.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five kunai shot toward Sarutobi, cutting through the air with sharp whistles. Right after throwing them, Haruto Saito dashed forward aggressively!
Sarutobi continuously flickered, dodging every kunai. As Haruto closed in, he swung his blade again!
Several slashes cut through empty air. Haruto seized the moment, sheathed his sword, and formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
Boom!
A massive flame bullet blasted toward Sarutobi. At this moment, he was very close to Haruto. Although the fire bullet didn't strike him directly, its explosion created a sea of flames that spread across dozens of meters.
