Chapter 248
Haruto Saito collided directly with Kaguya Rakuba, but it felt like hitting a solid wall—his body was thrown backward and crashed heavily onto the ground! Although Kaguya Rakuba was sick, his strength ensured that he remained completely unaffected. He didn't even budge.
Haruto hadn't used any force; he made it look entirely accidental.
"Ouch..." Haruto even let out a pained cry, as if he had landed right on an old wound.
Kaguya Rakuba and the surrounding Hidden Mist ninjas all cast indifferent glances at him. The clan leader briefly lowered his head to check his clothes, then casually flicked the dust off his robe.
"Are you blind, you little bastard?" Mudashi, one of the Mist shinobi, snapped impatiently. Without hesitation, he swung his foot and kicked Haruto hard, sending him flying.
Haruto crashed into a street stall, knocking it over, then tumbled and slammed into a wall. A mouthful of blood spilled onto the ground as he hunched over, his body trembling in agony.
"Apologies, Lord Rakuba," Mudashi grinned at Kaguya Rakuba, "Please ignore this fool. Times are tough these days—seems like beggars are popping up everywhere!"
"It's not really an issue," Kaguya Rakuba said flatly. "There are beggars everywhere."
"That's true, that's true." Mudashi nodded repeatedly.
A large group of them continued forward, leaving behind the "dying beggar" in the alley, completely ignoring him.
Haruto remained slumped on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth as he struggled to get up.
