Chapter 261
Haruto Saito stood in tattered black robes, his face hidden behind a mask, his entire body covered in bloodstains. His heterochromatic eyes gleamed with a cold, sharp light.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist stood before him, weapons in hand, their expressions cold and unreadable. The ninja hound Kuro leaned forward, ready to pounce at any moment, its eyes glowing a deep red.
Momochi Akahara's gaze swept over Haruto, icy and calculating.
As the intelligence had suggested, the suspect who had assassinated Hōzuki Roba and Fujita Asa was a ninja with the stature of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
"Was it you who killed Fujita Asa-sensei?" Momochi Akahara asked in a hoarse voice.
"What if it was?" Haruto replied in a low tone. He didn't deny it, nor did he need to. Regardless of what happened today, there would be no reconciliation between them. Whether he was the killer or not no longer mattered. Denying it would be pointless!
"You deserve to die, you know that?!" Momochi Akahara growled.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Momochi Akahara, filled with brutal killing intent!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also released their auras. Their combined presence was like a tangible storm, causing the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees to shake violently, emitting a harsh rustling sound.
