Chapter 45
"Boom!"
The explosive tag detonated, sending a blast of sand into the air. Saitama's silhouette vanished in the cloud of dust.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A powerful gust dispersed the sandstorm instantly.
"Where is he?"
Sagaki scanned the area after casting the jutsu. Saitama had disappeared into the swirling sand.
Without losing composure, Sagaki remained alert. He knew the explosion wouldn't be enough to kill someone like Saitama. The boy had to be hiding, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
He retrieved several kunai from his pouch and gripped them tightly. His gaze swept the surroundings.
The sand beneath his feet shifted.
"Sand?" he muttered. The terrain was moving. The sand wall behind him had been subtly disturbed.
With a smirk, Sagaki crouched low. Chakra surged to his feet, launching him backward in a high-speed Body Flicker to another patch of sand.
