Chapter 263
Killing Kuro went more smoothly than Haruto Saito had imagined!
Kuro had been too confident, while Haruto had hidden his true strength well. Kuro died without ever knowing Haruto's real power, only realizing that Haruto possessed the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai!
This was actually a crucial point. If Kuro had known beforehand that Haruto had the Shikotsumyaku, it would never have dared to bite him! In fact, it wouldn't have even gotten close to Haruto!
A ninja who mastered the Shikotsumyaku was essentially a close-combat killing machine!
In normal close combat, whether using a sword or fists and feet, the attack patterns were predictable. Swinging a sword required a motion, and using fists or kicks also required a sequence of movements.
But a ninja with the Shikotsumyaku didn't have these limitations. Any part of their body could become a weapon, making their attacks sudden and unpredictable.
Moreover, using the Shikotsumyaku against a ninja hound provided a significant advantage!
Because ninja hounds weren't human, they couldn't use equipment, weapons, or hand seals. Their ability to respond to sudden close-range attacks was far inferior to that of a human.
In fact, Haruto had had the chance to kill Kuro before it bit his throat!
Kuro had been too close, and Haruto could have used **Golden Tiger Dance** to kill it.
But he didn't!
