Chapter 327
Haruto Saito was inside the treehouse, speaking in hushed tones with Uzumaki Mito. It was unclear whether he was using some kind of interference jutsu, but Haruto couldn't make out what they were saying.
He could only pace back and forth at the entrance, waiting.
He waited for nearly half an hour, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had yet to come out.
Meanwhile, several Anbu ninja, who had been hiding nearby to protect Uzumaki Mito, gradually revealed themselves one after another. They approached Haruto and quietly inquired about the situation.
The Anbu knew well enough who Haruto was. What they wanted to know was what he intended to do, what he had discussed with Lady Mito, and how Sarutobi Hiruzen would handle him.
Haruto simply smiled without answering.
No response!
"Huh? You big pervert! You're back!" A young girl's excited voice suddenly rang out from a small forest path in the distance.
It was none other than Uzumaki Kushina, accompanied by Shinjo.
"You brat, are you looking for a beating again?" Haruto glared at her.
"Tch! Would you even dare hit me? If you do, I'll tell Lady Mito, and then you're done for!" Kushina ran up to the treehouse, looking completely unafraid of Haruto.
