As the surveillance continued, the two of them rejoiced when one of the two ninja guarding Mirai was removed, and even the renowned Kakashi was replaced.
Sensing that their opportunity had arrived, the two began preparing their assassination plan with great intensity. In the end, they launched what they believed to be a flawless assassination.
Taking advantage of the four men's distraction, Mirai ran toward the other side of the street. Though shocked by how perfectly Mirai had concealed his strength, Hasegawa did not hesitate. He immediately fired a trap in the direction Mirai was heading, hoping to trap him in a narrow lane before a hotel and kill him there, even if it meant exposing himself.
Mirai, who had been sprinting desperately, was suddenly startled. Dozens of crisscrossing steel wires abruptly appeared ahead, completely sealing off the street and blocking his path.
Blocked by the wires, Mirai immediately halted. He quickly judged that he could not jump over them with his own leaping ability, even if he used chakra.
Unable to continue forward, Mirai swiftly drew a kunai and slashed at one of the steel wires with all his strength, trying to test the wire mesh's actual durability.
The kunai scraped across the wire, sending out a shower of sparks. Although the wire was slightly damaged, it did not snap. Mirai immediately realized that cutting through the wire mesh with a kunai was not feasible.
In desperation, Mirai searched for another way out, trying to escape the blast from the hotel. Just as he was about to use chakra to climb the wall and flee along the outer wall of the clothing store opposite him, Inoue Kawakami, delayed by his injured leg, finally made his way around the firewall and appeared on the roof of the clothing store.
"Mirai!"
