Chapter 274
Haruto Saito had no habit of collecting the bodies of his enemies, nor did he care to destroy the evidence.
In fact, he wanted the Hidden Mist to find those corpses.
He wanted them to know that their covert operatives were dying one after another. He wanted them to understand that someone was systematically targeting their people. He even wanted them to realize that the person killing their covert operatives was the same one who had assassinated Hōzuki Rōba and Fujita Asa.
That was true revenge!
This was why Haruto had killed so many of their operatives in public, on the streets. He had even given the Hidden Mist opportunities to track him down.
Haruto left the long-haired ninja's body where it was and hurried away.
About half an hour later.
Still in the mountains of the Land of Whirlpools' northwest region, Haruto entered a valley. In the valley was a lake, and by the lakeside, he started a fire. He caught some fish from the lake and planned to grill them.
The fire burned brightly, its smoke rising straight into the sky.
This violated the ninja mission protocols, but Haruto didn't care. In fact, he hoped it would attract an enemy or two. It wasn't like starting a fire would suddenly summon an unbeatable, overwhelmingly powerful foe. That would be ridiculous!
The fish were already skewered and placed over the fire.
