Chapter 262
Haruto Saito had actually had a chance to kill the ninja hound earlier, because when the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist attacked, Kuro had also charged at him.
However, Haruto didn't act rashly. At the time, all the enemies were rushing toward him, and while the ninja hound wasn't the fastest, if Haruto had attacked directly, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would have definitely interfered. In fact, before Haruto could even launch a decisive strike against the hound, Momochi Akahara and the others might have had the chance to kill him first!
The more critical point was that Haruto only had one chance!
Once he attacked the ninja hound, he would inevitably expose his true strength—or rather, his unique abilities. This would also make the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist aware of his intentions. If he failed, the hound would surely retreat and avoid further combat, denying Haruto any opportunity to kill it!
If the enemy didn't give him a chance, Haruto would truly have no chance at all!
Haruto's only advantage now was that the enemy didn't know his true strength. They only wanted to kill him and had never considered the possibility of him counterattacking, so they were unprepared.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The ground shook repeatedly, and large sections of the forest were destroyed. The thick mist churned violently.
Haruto had used tactics to create an opportunity for himself.
Now, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had split up, unleashing their powerful techniques in different directions. Their dispersion was Haruto's chance.
Haruto's two shadow clones had already been crushed and destroyed underground due to the constant tremors and pressure.
