Chapter 268
This was the sixteenth and seventeenth person Haruto Saito had killed in the past two days—all of them were ninjas and informants from the Kirigakure Stealth Unit!
Over the course of two days, Haruto had traveled nearly three hundred kilometers, passing through eight ordinary villages to locate these seventeen individuals. But he wasn't done yet. He would continue killing, relentlessly, until he had completely eradicated the entire Kirigakure Stealth Unit stationed in the Land of Whirlpools.
This was merely the first step of Haruto's plan. Right now, he was a "revenge seeker," and he would not stop until he had truly struck a blow against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Murder!"
"Murder!"
"Stay away!"
"Don't look!"
Screams erupted from the streets. Pedestrians scattered in all directions, avoiding Haruto, who stood with a conical straw hat shading his face.
The young man and the old man before him clutched their throats as blood spurted from their necks. They collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
These two were nothing more than a Chūnin and a low-ranking samurai. That was why Haruto had easily slain them without resistance. The items they dropped upon death were unimpressive, so Haruto collected them without even looking, lowering the brim of his hat before vanishing into the shadowy alleys nearby.
No one dared approach him. They only watched in silence as he disappeared into the night.
