Chapter 361
Danzo was always in a state of malice, which meant that he always had the intention to harm Haruto Saito!
This wasn't just a passing thought or a momentary evil impulse born from a particular emotion—it was constant!
So, Haruto would never believe that Danzo sincerely intended to send people to protect him. In fact, Danzo was the type who would even leak information to assassins!
"I agree!" Haruto nodded.
He agreed!!
Danzo was stunned. He hadn't expected Haruto to agree so readily. He had already prepared a whole speech in case Haruto refused—he was planning to argue his point thoroughly!
But now, all those words were stuck in his throat.
Haruto's straightforward acceptance instead gave Danzo an uneasy feeling!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat surprised, but he wasn't aware of the underlying tension between Danzo and Haruto. He simply saw this as Haruto making another concession and nodded. "Alright, then Danzo will arrange for your protection..."
"I have one request!" Haruto suddenly interrupted.
"Speak!" Danzo immediately responded. A request was good—having no requests at all would be truly unsettling!
