Chapter 255
Haruto Saito's tactic was extremely dangerous. He needed to retrieve the dropped reward card, but he couldn't afford to wait. He had to grab it immediately and escape, which forced him to take the risk of diving into the sea of flames.
Although he was only within the fire for a second or two, these flames were formed by the explosion of an explosive tag—a type of ninjutsu-based fire with an extremely high temperature and devastating power.
As a result, Haruto Saito suffered severe injuries!
If it had been anyone else, they would have died underground. However, Haruto had the ability to heal quickly by consuming cards, so his injuries were not a major concern.
Once again, fireworks lit up the northern plaza of Ryusui Village!
Hundreds of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist) ninja quickly rushed to the scene. At present, there were nearly three hundred Hidden Mist ninja in Ryusui Village—two full-standard battalions. Among them were even quasi-Kage-level individuals and elite sensory-type ninja.
Just one minute after the explosion, the Hidden Mist ninja launched an intense search. Sensory ninjas even activated forbidden sensory techniques to locate the assassin.
This explosion was different from the one the previous night. When Kaguya Rakuba was attacked, the Mist ninja had no immediate way of determining what had happened and had to investigate step by step.
This time, however, the assassination of Fujita Asa was very clear-cut!
It was an assassination!
There were three Jonin present at the time. Haruto's two shadow clones had been seen. Although they wore black robes, masks, and hoods that concealed Haruto's unusual left eye, the Mist ninja could at least confirm that these were assassins. They had also gathered information on their height and build.
