Hanzo looked at Mokgetsu. Mokgetsu wore black clothes underneath with a white robe over them, giving him a refined and gentle appearance.
At the same time, Mokgetsu was observing Hanzo, who wore a mask on his face and a special battle suit from Rain Village.
When their eyes met, Hanzo suddenly unleashed his aura, an overwhelming force surging towards Mokgetsu, thickening the air.
The Jonin from Rain Village beside Mokgetsu was already immobilized by Hanzo's terrifying aura, yet Mokgetsu still wore a smile.
The next moment, the Rain Village Jonin suddenly felt a chill at his back and a terrifying pressure emanated from his side. In response to Hanzo's provocation, Mokgetsu also unleashed his aura.
The Rain Village Jonin's vision was somewhat blurred; his sweat dripped into his eyes, but he couldn't wipe it away because caught between the two terrifying auras, he dared not move. He now felt like a small boat caught in raging waves, on the verge of destruction.
"You may leave." Hanzo suddenly withdrew his aura and said to the Rain Village Jonin indifferently.
The Rain Village Jonin immediately felt relieved and hurriedly nodded and left.
Initially, he thought it would be an easy task, but now he felt he might have nightmares tonight.
A slight smile appeared on Hanzo's lips, "You are quite impressive."
Though he hadn't used his full strength, Mokgetsu's performance was already remarkable within the Ninja World.
"You are impressive too," Mokgetsu replied with a faint smile.
Hanzo was slightly taken aback. Since becoming the leader of Rain Village, Mokgetsu was the first to say such words to him.
However, Hanzo didn't mind too much. Mokgetsu looked around twenty-seven years old, and Hanzo was quite tolerant of young people who earned his recognition.
"Some say you became strong because you acquired the inheritance of the Ninja Sect. I couldn't be sure before seeing you, but now I am certain you would be a strong person even without the so-called inheritance," Hanzo said, recalling recent rumors about Mokgetsu.
After contending auras with Mokgetsu, Hanzo could sense Mokgetsu possessed his own inner strength. Such a person could never be mediocre.
"Perhaps. I think such assumptions are meaningless because, in reality, I did receive the Ninja Sect inheritance and do have considerable strength," Mokgetsu replied.
"Indeed, it is meaningless," Hanzo found Mokgetsu interesting.
"But I can give you some advice: most people only believe what they choose to believe. Many are interested in the Ninja Sect inheritance you hold, and your bounty on the black market has reached 3.5 million ryo."
Due to Mokgetsu crafting a legendary persona, the legend of Ninja Master Sosuke had spread beyond the Land of Rain into the Ninja World.
When Mokgetsu acted with Shadow Clones, nearly two hundred ninjas witnessed it, making them strong attestants to the veracity of the Ninja Master Sosuke legend.
After all, Mokgetsu himself claimed the Ninja Sect inheritance, and he certainly showcased the level of a strong figure within the Ninja World.
"Thank you for the information, senior," Mokgetsu thanked Hanzo, his facial expression unchanged.
3.5 million ryo could commission three S-level missions plus one A-Class Mission in Konoha.
However, it still seemed too little compared to the Ninja Sect inheritance. Mokgetsu guessed it hadn't spread widely yet; not many people believed it, otherwise, his bounty should have surpassed Asuma's.
Hanzo greatly appreciated Mokgetsu's mindset. To him, the most crucial aspect of a strong person was the conviction they held. Without that conviction, they might as well be dead.
The two didn't converse further.
As the leader of the Rain Village, Hanzo had affairs to attend to. If Mokgetsu were to join Rain Village and become a Rain Ninja, they could talk more; but as a promising junior, Hanzo had been as considerate as possible.
Before leaving, Mokgetsu gave Hanzo another Identification Jutsu to ensure the information in his mind was accurate.
