Chapter 251
Haruto Saito possessed an uncanny ability to appear and disappear at will. Back when he assassinated Iwagakure's Sato at the rear mountains of Konoha, he had acquired the A-rank secret technique, "Earth Concealment Technique." This technique allowed Haruto to move underground, albeit at a slower speed than on the surface, but its utility was immense.
Additionally, before leaving Konoha, he had learned "Aura Concealment Technique" from Terado. This technique allowed Haruto to suppress his chakra presence to an extreme degree while simultaneously using other jutsu. In other words, when Haruto moved underground, he could completely conceal his chakra, making it nearly impossible for even sensory-type shinobi to detect him!
After retrieving hundreds of card rewards, Haruto burrowed underground once again and quickly left the scene.

South of Ryusui Village.
In a residential area, inside the storage room of an ordinary household.
Haruto materialized out of thin air. He clasped his hands together, his eyes tensed as wrinkles formed around them—Byakugan, activated!
The world around him turned into shades of gray and white as he surveyed the entire Ryusui Village. A quick scan reassured him—this place was very safe.
The greater the danger, the greater the safety.
Haruto hadn't immediately left Ryusui Village because he needed time to assess and consume his cards to enhance his strength.
Inside the dimly lit storage room, Haruto leaned against a pile of miscellaneous items and sat down. He reached into his inventory space and pulled out a massive stack of cards—nearly three hundred of them, forming a pile as thick as six full decks of playing cards stacked together.
