For five days, Jun Tianlin had wandered around Rouge Town, gathering information like a diligent little bee. His hard work had finally paid off!
During those five days, Jun Tianlin had found his final target with little effort: Hyuga Taiyuan. Every day, Taiyuan went out early and returned late, making no effort to conceal his movements as he swaggered around the pleasure district...
Who knew where a mere S-rank rogue ninja like Hyuga Taiyuan got so much confidence? He was so brazenly enjoying himself. Wasn't he afraid that bounty hunters from the underworld, or the pursuers sent by Konoha, would come after him?
Or did he think his strength was enough to handle any enemy who came for him, so he had nothing to fear?
Jun Tianlin couldn't make sense of Hyuga Taiyuan's behavior. In the end, he gave up trying to understand and cursed under his breath, "Idiot!"
But curses aside, he still had to take care of what needed doing.
After spending five days gathering information on Hyuga Taiyuan and observing him repeatedly, Jun Tianlin had gained a general understanding of his daily habits. After careful consideration, he decided to attack him on a little path that Taiyuan would have to take on his way home!
Jun Tianlin didn't rest all night. Instead, he kept adjusting his condition until he was at his peak, preparing for the battle ahead.
Early the next morning, Jun Tianlin arrived at the path Hyuga Taiyuan was sure to take and stood there waiting.
It was still early morning. The sky had already brightened, but the sun had yet to rise. Wisps of mist and dewdrops hung over the little path, which was overgrown with flowers and grass.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap."
Several dozen minutes later, faint footsteps sounded on the silent path. A middle-aged man in a blue robe walked briskly toward him. His shoulder-length black hair framed a pair of eyes with no pupils, only whites, and a lewd grin tugged at his face.
"He's here?"
One glance at the Hyuga clan's characteristic white eyes was enough for Jun Tianlin to identify the lecherous-looking middle-aged man before him. It had to be Hyuga Taiyuan!
If you wanted to find a Kekkei Genkai clan in the entire Ninja World whose members were recognizable at a glance, it had to be the Hyuga Clan, with their Byakugan!
There was no helping it. The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan was so distinctive: their eyes had no black pupils, only white. Anyone who saw those unmistakable eyes would know they belonged to a member of the Hyuga Clan, unless they were an idiot.
In an instant, Jun Tianlin's earlier nonchalance vanished. He fixed his gaze on Hyuga Taiyuan as he approached, his eyes gradually sharpening. A faint killing intent began to emanate from him—the prelude to a killing!
"Hm?"
Hyuga Taiyuan had been happily thinking about visiting Flower Pavilion and having some fun with Xiangxiang once he got there. Then he suddenly sensed the faint killing intent ahead, and immediately grew alert.
He abruptly lifted his head and narrowed his cloudy white eyes, looking toward the source of the killing intent. Jun Tianlin's distinctive white hair and white clothes came into view.
Seeing the utter lack of emotion in Jun Tianlin's eyes, Hyuga Taiyuan put away his frivolous, lecherous grin. A vicious expression appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I was wondering why someone would be blocking the road this early in the morning. So you're a bounty hunter who took a contract to claim my head! But you're just a white-haired kid. Are you sure you're capable of taking down a tiger like me?"
In silence, Jun Tianlin lowered his eyelids. When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint blazed in them. His whole being had reached its peak, and his killing intent began to churn wildly.
"Enough talk. Let's settle this with our hands. Come and die!"
"Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets"
