Chapter 280
Could Haruto Saito really become the next leader of the Assassination Unit?!
The idea felt absurd. Haruto was only twelve years old, and he had been in the Anbu for barely over a month. Even by the end of the year, his tenure wouldn't even span half a year.
Of course, Haruto was only temporarily in first place. There was no guarantee he'd stay there until year's end, so calling him the future leader was premature.
But the possibility now existed.
The atmosphere grew tense. No one dared to speak—Kirimizu was still the current captain, a position he had held for years. His authority in the Assassination Unit was absolute ,
"As expected of the Hokage's personal disciple." Kirimizu clapped Haruto on the shoulder, his voice flat, before turning and walking away.
The others watched in silence as Kirimizu disappeared into the distance.
"Captain Kirimizu will probably take on an Ultra S-rank assassination mission now," one Anbu operative muttered. "With his skills, he won't fail. Once he completes it, his merits will surpass Haruto's again."
"Yeah."
"Definitely."
The others nodded in agreement.
