Before Haruto could finish his words, Asuma quickly stepped forward, cutting him off.
"Boss, these ninjas are from Konoha's Root Division. I hope you can show some mercy and not kill them all!"
His tone was anxious, his heart pounding in his chest.
After witnessing Haruto's terrifying display of power, Asuma felt a cold sweat trickle down his back.
This man was far too dangerous.
If Haruto got truly angry, he could wipe out everyone in the shop without breaking a sweat.
And Asuma… had only smashed one golden egg before.
That hardly made him close to the boss.
Would Haruto really give him any face?
Even Asuma wasn't sure himself.
But as a fellow Konoha shinobi, he couldn't just stand by and watch Root operatives be slaughtered.
So, despite his fear, he stepped up.
Haruto slowly turned to Asuma, his expression unreadable.
His calm gaze sent a chill through Asuma's body.
A few cold sweat droplets ran down Asuma's temples.
Then—
Haruto suddenly grinned, patting Asuma on the shoulder.
"Since you asked so nicely, I'll spare him."
"After all, you're one of my regular customers, and this shop runs on good business."
With that, Haruto released the Root ninja from his invisible restraint.
The remaining Root shinobi immediately tried to flee.
But before he could escape—
Haruto's tone suddenly shifted.
"But…"
"You can escape the death penalty—"
"—just not the punishment."
A sneer spread across Haruto's face.
He raised one hand, casually clenching his fingers in the Root ninja's direction.
BANG!
A sickening burst of blood mist filled the air—
The Root ninja screamed in agony as his arms and legs exploded, leaving only his mutilated torso writhing on the ground.
"AHHHH!"
The crippled Root operative let out a piercing scream, his body convulsing in pain.
Haruto's voice remained calm and cold.
"Go back and tell Danzo that I'm waiting for him right here."
"If he has the guts, he should come in person."
"Tell him to stop sending rats to spy on me in the dark—"
"—it only makes me look down on him even more."
With a wave of his hand, Haruto teleported the Root ninja out of the shop, along with the blood mist of his fallen comrades.
Outside, the Root ninja let out a final defiant growl.
"Danzo-sama will never let you go!"
Then, dragging his half-crippled body, he disappeared into the night.
Haruto let out a cold laugh, then turned back to the rest of the group.
His warm smile returned, as if nothing had happened.
"So… who wants to smash some eggs next?"
Silence.
No one dared to move.
Sasuke and Kakashi, in particular, felt a wave of relief wash over them.
After how rudely they had treated the boss before, the fact that they were still alive was a miracle.
Asuma, meanwhile, let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Thank god… he's easy to talk to."
The thought had barely crossed his mind before he regretted it.
What if Haruto took offense?
Would he be next?!
Luckily, Haruto had already moved on.
The truth was, Haruto had never intended to kill all three Root operatives in the first place.
He simply wanted to send Danzo a message.
Letting one ninja escape, even crippled, was enough to make a statement.
Asuma's interruption just gave him an excuse to seem reasonable.
"Sensei, what about you?"
Haruto suddenly turned his attention to Kakashi, flashing him a friendly grin.
"Would you like to try your luck?"
His tone was cheerful, but to Kakashi, it felt more terrifying than the pressure from before.
He could still feel the lingering presence of Haruto's overwhelming power.
That smile—
It felt more dangerous than anything.
"Then… I'll take three golden eggs," Kakashi said cautiously.
He pulled out six thousand ryo, handing it to Haruto.
"Keep the change."
"Boss, you're so generous!" Haruto beamed, accepting the money.
He quickly placed three golden eggs in front of Kakashi.
"Here you go!"
Haruto's attitude seemed friendly—but in Kakashi's mind, it felt completely different.
"Who the hell is this boss?!"
"He clearly has the power to destroy Konoha single-handedly—"
"So why is he running a small shop selling golden eggs?"
"Does he really have no hidden motives?"
Kakashi couldn't shake the feeling that something bigger was at play.
But right now—
He had no choice but to play along.
Taking the golden hammer, Kakashi smashed his three eggs.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Nine glowing spheres appeared in front of them.
Haruto took a quick glance and immediately knew their functions.
