"Where is Nohara Rin...?"
Outside the prison at this moment.
Hyuga Sho stood in the sky.
Using Magnetic Release: Star Point's antigravity to float off the ground.
From dozens of meters in the air, he looked down at the Mist ninja below.
This time...
Zabuza did not make any threats.
Instead, like Kisame Hoshigaki, he quickly pulled out the small booklet he carried with him.
He glanced at the "must-kill enemies list" inside.
One of the pages near the top of the rankings contained Hyuga Sho's name.
Killing Nakayoshi with a single stone, frightening a hundred people away, gouging out Ao's eyes, wiping out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen overnight...
Those were Hyuga Sho's achievements.
His record was overflowing with accomplishments.
At least as far as Kirigakure was concerned.
Hyuga Sho's reputation here had been built up to a terrifying level.
Ninja from other villages might not have much of a real impression of it.
But...
Hyuga Sho's attacks and destruction against Kirigakure, and the reputation they had earned him, were simply too famous.
Even though Momochi Zabuza and Kisame Hoshigaki had never seen Hyuga Sho before.
Through the booklets carried by every Kirigakure ninja.
They could still tell that this was an enemy they absolutely could not afford to provoke.
At least for now...
They were no match for Hyuga Sho.
However...
It would not look good to run away in front of so many people.
At least they had to put on an act...
Thus.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Momochi Zabuza.
While everyone was staring at Hyuga Sho in the sky, the two of them retreated little by little... farther and farther...
Until they reached the least conspicuous, farthest edge of the group.
They were prepared to leave at any moment.
As for the faces of everyone below.
Hyuga Sho
