Hidden Rock Village's actions chilled Han to the bone. Known as the Steam Ninja, he could no longer feel any warmth. All that remained was piercing cold.
Han decided to leave Hidden Rock Village forever, even if it meant bearing the name of a rogue ninja.
Han set off at once, leaving Hidden Rock Village through a small path as he usually did.
The moment he left Hidden Rock, Han was surrounded by Hidden Rock ANBU ninja. Kitsuchi led them.
Kitsuchi was the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. He controlled Hidden Rock's ANBU and was a Jonin.
He was heavily built and nearly as tall as Han. Both of them were hulking men.
Han's expression turned ugly.
Kitsuchi warned, "Han, if you return to the village now, I'll pretend I never saw you."
"I used to be able to leave the village whenever I wanted. Why are you blocking my way today?"
"We used to let you do as you pleased because it didn't seem to matter. But now thieves are targeting the tailed beasts. No matter what, the Five-Tails is still village property, so we have to keep a closer watch on it."
Steam rose from Han's entire body, making the Hidden Rock ANBU around him nervous.
"To be honest, I really didn't want it to come to this."
Kitsuchi wore an honest-looking expression as he continued persuading Han.
"If you attack us, the charge of being a rogue ninja will be set in stone. You'd better think this through."
"Do I still have a choice?"
Han vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already beside Kitsuchi.
Han's taijutsu was extremely unusual. He drew upon the Five-Tails' power; the Five-Tails possessed Boil Release, and Han could indirectly use Boil Release as well.
