Chapter 277
There were five Hyūga ninja in total. The one with the highest reputation was **Hyūga Shibō**, with a reputation of 6,900 points—a formidable jonin!
The other four consisted of one jonin, one elite chūnin, and two chūnin!
They were dressed very mysteriously, even wearing sunglasses. Haruto immediately understood why: their Byakugan was too distinctive!
"To think I'd run into them here. What mission are they on?" Haruto wondered.
This operation in the Land of Whirlpools was a joint effort by Konoha, so it wasn't surprising to see Hyūga ninja here.
However, because Haruto had a grudge with them—they were all in a hostile state—he paid extra attention.

**Passing through the bustling market district.**
Kirisame led Haruto to a large estate in the heart of Yamaryū Village... This was the Commander's Residence! The branch Kirisame had mentioned was located inside the residence.
The commander of Yamaryū Village was a member of Konoha's covert operations unit!
This ninja had been undercover in the Land of Whirlpools for seven years.
