"That's what the intelligence report says."
Killing intent surged within Rasa. Over the past few days, they had mobilized numerous intelligence networks and confirmed the child's identity, but his strength truly exceeded all expectations.
He was not even nine years old, yet he already possessed such power. Once he matured, he would likely surpass the former White Fang of the Leaf and the Three Sannin.
Was Konoha about to produce another exceptional genius?
At that thought, Rasa could not help recalling the blade-light of the White Fang of the Leaf from years ago. It had been near the end of the Second Ninja World War. Back then, he had only been a lowly genin, and he had watched that white flash of steel flicker endlessly through the crowd. Every flash took at least one life.
Even Chiyo's son had failed to stop that pale blade, sharp as a fang.
And now, this successor to the White Fang possessed even more terrifying talent. He would inevitably grow even stronger in the future.
"What a terrifying boy."
Feiyu looked at Rasa, his expression asking whether they should eliminate him here.
That brat's talent was far too frightening. The speed he had just displayed was only slightly slower than Feiyu's Swift Release. If he were allowed to grow for a few more years, Feiyu would be surpassed.
For a speed-focused ninja, speed was everything. Once someone faster appeared, it meant his life was no longer under his own control.
That brat had to die!
"Take them back to the village first and finish this Chunin Exam."
Rasa glanced at Mitarashi Shisui in the distance. He knew they could not make a move now—at the very least, the boy could not die during the Chunin Exam under his supervision.
"It's Sasori!"
Karura suddenly spoke.
