Chapter 193: Ch.193 Sense of Duty
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Neji sprinted along the rugged mountain path, his chest heaving like an old bellows, his breathing ragged and unsteady.
Behind him, several figures blended into the darkness, chasing after him.
Clearly.
Hiashi's squad had not been able to take care of all the demons, and no matter how Neji tried to take detours, he ended up being pursued by them.
Thankfully, Neji had the Byakugan, and after learning from Hiashi that these demons had nearly indestructible bodies, he avoided fighting them directly. Instead, he broke through their pursuit, doing his best to run toward the anchor point.
The demons weren't going to let Neji, who was rushing toward the anchor point, go easily. Both sides had clashed multiple times on the rugged mountain path, leaving Neji injured, his blood staining the ground.
Seeing blood only excited the demons further. They let out eerie screeches, as if intent on tearing Neji to shreds.
Neji glanced back at the demons chasing him, and his expression became more resolute.
In his heart, saving the shinobi world was his priority!
As for himself, if it was for the sake of saving the shinobi world, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
