Chapter 64: Ch.64 Tacit Permission
In the dim light of dusk, the mysterious figure standing on the tree appeared even more terrifying than during the day! However, Sasuke and Neji were trembling—not out of fear, but from excitement!
They knew that if they didn't confront this man head-on and allowed fear to consume them, this shadow would haunt them for the rest of their lives, like a parasite clinging to their bones.
"This time, I won't let you win so easily!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and his dark eyes turned scarlet in an instant.
Neji activated his Byakugan, his brow furrowing suddenly. "He's..."
Swish!
Just as Neji was about to say something, the mysterious figure moved. With a piercing whistle, he charged directly at Uchiha Shinji, who had quietly retreated behind Sasuke and Neji.
"Total Concentration!"
Seeing the enemy come straight for him, Shinji activated his "Breathing Technique" to its fullest and met the attack with the last kunai from his ninja pouch.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, a series of harsh metallic clashes echoed, accompanied by sparks as the kunai collided at the dark riverside.
