Shurikens and kunai were thrown from all directions, and everyone's eyes were focused on Hatake Satoru.
Inside the cylindrical water tank, which made a gurgling sound, a human figure instantly formed. Hozuki Mangetsu's face was pressed against the glass wall of the tank.
Immediately, the sealing tag on the water tank lit up, and Hozuki Mangetsu, as if burned, flinched back inside the tank.
He frowned, looking at the tank in front of him. If it weren't for the seal, he wouldn't be trapped.
Hatake Satoru crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his fingers suddenly spread outward.
The kunai and shurikens that had almost reached him stopped in mid-air.
"What's going on?!"
"Did they just stop?!"
The remaining people looked at each other in disbelief, unsure of what to say as they stared at Hatake Satoru.
Before they could figure out what was happening, the kunai and shurikens changed direction, aiming to pierce their throwers.
A light blue gas covered all the weapons, and Hatake Satoru's lips pressed together slightly.
"How boring, is that all?"
"Is that all, and you still dare to do this?"
He can control weapons, what kind of ability is that?!
Although they knew this person was strong, Hatake Satoru usually didn't show his skills in front of everyone, so many of them didn't know the extent of his true power.
They had only heard rumors of his strength.
Of course, this was something Hatake Satoru intentionally hid.
His abilities were different from those flashy Ninjutsu. If people figured them out, it would be quite annoying.
"He can control weapons...?!"
The Jonin and Anbu weren't fools. The moment the weapons stopped and changed direction, they realized Hatake Satoru could probably change the weapons' direction.
With their knowledge, they probably couldn't understand the Limitless technique.
Moreover, this almost 100% defense ability was practically a cheat in this world of high attack and low defense.
Many people immediately began forming hand signs to defend against Hatake Satoru's counterattack.
Although the Jonin and Anbu formed hand signs quickly, Hatake Satoru's speed eliminated the space between people, allowing him to attack directly.
Hatake Satoru moved his fingers slightly, not even needing to turn his head to locate each person's position and movements.
The kunai and shurikens instantly pierced through people, and the rapidly spinning shurikens even injured several people.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
"It hurts!"
Cries of pain echoed throughout the room. Many people, still struggling to complete their hand signs, reached out to grab the kunai stuck in their bodies.
The Anbu and Jonin fell one after another, their wounds were all piercing injuries, and large amounts of blood spurted out instantly.
The pungent smell of blood filled the entire room.
"No! No! You represent Konoha, you can't kill us here, aren't you afraid of starting a war?!"
One of the masked individuals desperately grabbed the kunai flying towards him, the sharp blade already touching his mask.
As he spoke, his mask cracked with a "snap."
There was even a hint of trembling in his voice, his hands tightly gripping the kunai, blood seeping from his palms and dripping down his wrists.
The Anbu gripped the kunai tightly in both hands, but even so, the power behind the kunai was almost irresistible.
Although it slowed the kunai from piercing his head, his hands were resisting some kind of extremely powerful force.
Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, he couldn't help but loudly question Hatake Satoru.
They didn't know much about Hatake Satoru. He spent most of his time in the research lab where the Anbu couldn't enter, so they could only learn about him from those who had seen him and from rumors.
Unlike those high-level officials who pondered everything for a long time before acting, this guy attacked and killed without hesitation.
Although he represented the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure, he didn't seem to care about such things at all.
Hatake Satoru tilted his head, as if pondering something.
Then, as if he had heard something incredibly funny, he chuckled.
"You didn't think about starting a war when you did this to the former Mizukage, but now you're worried when it happens to you?"
"I don't understand what you people are thinking."
"If you all die, I'll have the power to speak, and besides, you were the ones who attacked first."
Hatake Satoru shook his head, his neck cracking from stiffness.
So many things are happening tonight.
The Anbu's mask completely covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
Hatake Satoru didn't give him any more time to speak. He simply pointed forward, and the kunai shattered the mask and pierced directly into the man's head.
The Anbu grunted and fell backward. Hatake Satoru lowered his eyes and glanced at him expressionlessly.
Honestly, he shouldn't have bothered fighting these small fries.
These people couldn't hurt him, they weren't even a threat.
He could have handled this situation smoothly, forcing the sealing-type ninjas to undo the seal.
"I've been here for a while, you didn't have to die."
"Well~ I just felt a little annoyed, bad luck."
Hatake Satoru glanced indifferently at the corpses in the room, the smell of blood gradually spreading. He walked towards the blind spot next to the closet.
There was someone else there.
"You... monster!"
"Wind Release, Wind Blade."
The person hiding behind the closet quickly formed hand signs, and a whirlwind of wind blades burst out from behind the closet.
Hatake Satoru didn't dodge or evade, he simply stood in front of the closet's blind spot with a curious expression.
"Boom!"
The furniture and decorations around Hatake Satoru were torn apart by the wind blades, but it was as if something was blocking them around Hatake Satoru, as his hair wasn't even ruffled.
"Oh~ No Anbu mask, then you can undo the sealing jutsu~"
Hatake Satoru didn't seem to notice the wind release at all, and looked at the ninja in front of him with great interest.
Then he reached out and dragged him out from behind the closet.
