"My Shikotsumyaku skin defense is stronger than Stage Two: Skeleton Susanoo... yet Teacher's Wind Release can still break through..."
Hyuga Sho raised his head and stared at Hatake Sakumo.
The next second.
Hyuga Sho concealed his presence, while his final words drifted through the air.
"Teacher... from here on, I'm really going all out..."
"!"
Seeing Hyuga Sho suddenly disappear.
Hatake Sakumo showed a serious expression for the first time.
After entering Shadow Flash Chakra mode.
Hyuga Sho activated his stealth ability with all his might.
The Third Training Ground... instantly fell silent.
"Byakugan!"
Hyuga Mami formed no hand seals.
She could barely detect a blurry shadow.
That was only because she had reached Kage Level and possessed extremely pure Byakugan.
If it had been Hatake Sakumo.
He would already have had no idea where Hyuga Sho had gone.
"Quite troublesome..."
It wasn't as if Hatake Sakumo had never encountered an opponent who could turn invisible.
For example, Iwagakure's A-Rank Earth Release: Camouflage Jutsu.
At times like this.
He had to rely on some special intuition.
In other words... his sixth sense.
This was where Hatake Sakumo differed from Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's perception of things coming from the shadows was practically zero.
In other words, Jiraiya wasn't afraid of a head-on fight, but he had no particularly effective means of defending against sneak attacks.
Although he could sense an area within ten meters by maintaining Barrier: Sky Canopy Formation.
The barrier couldn't possibly be maintained twenty-four hours a day.
Moreover, his Sage Mode wasn't perfect, so he didn't possess sensory abilities.
In a certain worldline.
Sage Jiraiya hadn't even noticed when Asura Path attacked him from behind.
And Hyuga Sho's stealth ability was completely silent...
Even the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Byakugan below Kage Level couldn't see him.
Wanting to assassinate
