Chapter 220
The forest behind Konoha Village had been invaded once again. This kind of incident occurred multiple times every year. And those were just the ones that were discovered—many more went unnoticed!
The back mountain forest was vast and held many of Konoha's secrets. Even for ordinary Konoha shinobi, it was considered a restricted area, let alone for outsiders.
The Anbu ninjas were nearly all mobilized, spreading out through the forest in a carpet-style search. This invasion was clearly serious; otherwise, the White Fang would never have ordered such a large-scale deployment.
No one knew how many enemies had infiltrated.
The night was dark, the moonlight hazy, the wind howling, and the temperature slightly chilly.
Haruto Saito sped through the forest, his senses fully activated as he searched for the enemy.
At the same time, he was also heading toward the residence of Uzumaki Mito.
Mito had recently changed her secluded dwelling, though it was still within the back mountain forest. The exact location was known to the Konoha Anbu.
Before long, Haruto was still rushing through the forest, now just two kilometers away from Mito's residence.
Boom!
A sudden explosion erupted in the northwest, flames soaring into the sky!
