Chapter 195 : Root’s Heavy Losses!!
Hokage's Office.
"This assassin... Could it really be connected to the Uchiha clan? Or perhaps Uchiha Kinya offered him something, making him go so far to protect the Uchiha members?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the assassin who had taken a brutal hit to protect a little girl. There was a mix of murderous intent and confusion in his eyes.
In his mind, assassins were supposed to be cold and merciless.
To complete a mission, they would stop at nothing—even sacrificing teammates.
But this assassin, instead of just completing the task, took a heavy blow for a little girl, and he got injured in the process. Was it really worth it?
Hiruzen puffed on his cigarette, his eyes flickering with an uncertain light. He wasn't sure what he was thinking.
But one thing was clear—this assassin was definitely tied to the Uchiha clan.
Heh.
This might be a good thing. The assassin's act of risking his life for the Uchiha clan had exposed a weakness.
From now on, as long as Uchiha Itachi keeps targeting the Uchiha clan, this assassin will continue to take the blows.
