Devil's Sealing Jutsu

Nadare Rōga finally breathed a sigh of relief when the piercing noise by his ears vanished.

If the other party had dispelled that ninjutsu, did that mean he was letting him go?

Just as he thought that, he heard footsteps approaching him.

His heart immediately leaped into his throat again. Whether he lived or died now depended entirely on the other party's mood.

Minamoto Takuya walked up to Nadare Rōga and said,

Before long, Minamoto Takuya's two Shadow Clones arrived with Tsurugi Fubuki and Mizore Fuyuma.

Tsurugi Fubuki, who had fainted from fright, had awakened by then. Like the other two, she had no intention of resisting whatsoever.

The Snow Ninja Trio exchanged looks, then nodded.

"It is called the 'Life-Death Talisman.'"

After Minamoto Takuya said that, the Snow Ninja Trio's eyes widened. Just from its name alone, they could tell that this was definitely not a harmless
