Chapter 613: After Listening for a Moment

He tilted his head and listened for a moment, found it was a guard, then settled back down.

"What is it?"

He asked flatly, his voice laced with impatience.

After all, as a shinobi, every day's schedule was already arranged.

He had no time to waste.

Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the guard swiftly reported:

"Reporting to the Hokage, my lord — the third generation of the Kuchiki clan seems to be planning to make a move on you!"

"The Kuchiki clan!!"

A dense, cold glint flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and at the same time, a bloodthirsty light flickered within them.

He had endured for quite some time now.

"Heh heh, the third generation, is it!"

And just at this moment, Kuchiki Senya's voice slowly drifted in from outside the door.

This instantly filled Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes with frost.

"How did you find this place?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen demanded in a low voice.

He was not surprised that Kuchiki Senya could find this place.

After all, Kuchiki Senya was a ruthless fellow.

But the fact that Kuchiki Senya could come here was worth being wary of.

"Heh heh, where I want to go, no one can stop me."

Kuchiki Senya's voice was still that hoarse, unpleasant rasp, disgusting to the ear.

However, at this moment, he had no extra words to spare.

His arm shot out, and in an instant transformed into a pitch-black, razor-sharp kunai, which he hurled toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Clang!"

The kunai struck Sarutobi Hiruzen's iron sword, sending up sparks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was solemn, chakra surging within his body.

"Whoosh!"

He instantly drew the iron sword from his back and charged toward Kuchiki Senya.

His movement was blindingly fast — in the blink of an eye he appeared right in front of Kuchiki Senya.

"Slish!"

His right hand, gripping the sword, chopped down with a piercing screech; the fierce sword qi instantly enveloped Kuchiki Senya's body.

And Kuchiki Senya's left hand reached out at this moment to meet it.

"Boom!"

The two collided, and instantly the sound of Jin Tiejiao rang out.

At the same time, a tremendous force transmitted through, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen to involuntarily retreat several steps.

Looking at Kuchiki Senya in contrast, he stood in place, utterly unmoved.

At this moment, a wild glint flickered in his eyes, and an icy aura emanated from his body.

At this instant, he seemed like an entirely different person, his entire frame brimming with a violent, bloodthirsty air that made one's heart tremble.

"Hmph!"

The next moment, accompanied by a cold snort, Kuchiki Senya's body flickered and he went straight for Sarutobi Hiruzen in attack.

"Bam bam bam…"

Fists and feet clashed; within this narrow room, the sounds of impact rang out in an unbroken stream.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's combat ability was far inferior to Kuchiki Senya's; after only a few exchanges, he was pressed into the disadvantage by Kuchiki Senya.

"Slish!"

The next moment, Kuchiki Senya lashed out with a whip-kick, carrying a vast, surging force.

It sent Sarutobi Hiruzen's body shooting backward in an instant.

"Thud!"

With a resounding crash, Sarutobi Hiruzen's body was slammed into one of the great hall's pillars.

The searing pain made him grit his teeth so hard they nearly cracked, yet he dared not cry out — because this was the Anbu, and if anyone found out, he would die a terrible death.

"Cough!"

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out fresh blood.

His gaze, dark and shadowed, fixed on Kuchiki Senya.

"Hehehe, I told you — you can't kill me. Don't believe me? Let's try!"

Kuchiki Senya said with a strange, eerie laugh.

At this moment, he was like a demon, sending chills down one's spine.
