Chapter 311
"He's still in the Land of Whirlpools?" Hattori Ryuuno's expression darkened—this was completely unexpected!
Logically, as the Hokage's personal disciple, Haruto Saito had caused such a huge disturbance in the Land of Whirlpools. Hiruzen Sarutobi had no reason not to summon him back to Konoha! Keeping him in the Land of Whirlpools would only increase the risk of him being assassinated!
Even if, for some unavoidable reason, Haruto Saito couldn't return to Konoha, he shouldn't be acting so openly!
This was highly unusual!

The Konoha forces had finally arrived to excavate the treasure!
"How many of them? Who's leading them? Did we get a clear look?" Hattori Ryuuno asked urgently.
"Approximately over a hundred. The leader is Konoha's Anbu Commander, White Fang!"
