Chapter 282
In his report to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Haruto Saito detailed his actions in eliminating the hidden forces of Kirigakure's infiltration unit. He had first gathered intelligence, then carried out reconnaissance and clean-up operations—killing his way through the enemy forces using his unique ability to assess people.
It was clear that Sarutobi believed Haruto's report and hoped he could use his talent for evaluating people to systematically eliminate Kirigakure's hidden forces with the support of intelligence.
It was a heavy responsibility!
At the same time, Haruto could also analyze that the situation in the Land of Rain must have deteriorated.
Otherwise, Sarutobi would not have been so aggressive in assigning Haruto such an important mission. It was evident that Sarutobi wanted to resolve the situation in the Land of Whirlpools as quickly as possible so that Konoha could focus its full strength on the looming Great Ninja War!
"How many orders did Lord Hokage issue this time?" Haruto looked up at the covert operative.
"Orders were issued to the covert unit, the Anbu," the operative replied immediately, "and Lord White Fang also received a separate order. In total, three orders were given!"
"Hmm." Haruto nodded.
It was expected that orders would be issued to others as well. Giving instructions to him alone would be meaningless—he needed the covert unit's cooperation, but they wouldn't follow his lead unless Sarutobi had given them explicit orders.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared beside Haruto.
