The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2193

“…What? Haven’t you already entered their territory?” asked Suijin with a slight frown.

“…Well, while it’s true that that old man was extremely strong, I couldn’t tell whether he was a ninja… After all, I’ve never met a ninja before so I can’t really tell them apart from regular people…” muttered Ryugu, who knew better than to assume that the old man was a ninja just because he had immense speed.
