Novel facts straight from the new manga author
However, it wasn’t a fatal wound. The giant stumbled backwards, then pulled out a broadaxe for a counterattack.
They have the position of advantage here.
While showing that he could leap back to avoid the blow, Sasuke leapt up. The battleaxe skimmed underneath him, cutting a huge rift through the floor.
It was terrifying strength.
It couldn’t be thought of as simple muscle power. It had to be that the giant was strengthening his muscles with some kind of jutsu.
Physical combat is a bad idea.
He’d managed to obtain information.
Sasuke didn’t have any thoughts of it being cowardly to turn his back and run here.
For shinobi, carrying out your mission was for more important than anything else.
Right now, Sasuke’s mission was to work to get information relating to Kaguya to the bitter end. He’d obtained the scroll too.
He’d also understood that people of the Ootsusuki bloodline were making a move. That being the case, he had no reason to linger here for long.
If he ended up getting himself killed, he wouldn’t be able to pass on the info to Naruto and the others.
And so, Sasuke ran.
Sasuke’s sprint was so fast that the average shinobi couldn’t possible hope to keep up.
But, the two ogres kept up with him.
As expected, they weren’t average beings.
The castle had started crumbling after that last blow, too.
But Sasuke’s feet didn’t falter. Sasuke’s steps didn’t falter even inside darkness.
Sasuke exited the castle.
The statues that stood outside it told tales of how this place once prospered.
Sasuke kept running.
Running was his duty as a ninja.
