"After all, New York is simply too big. It's only natural that it would take some time," the Masked Man said slowly.
Kingpin breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything, Obito spoke again. "So I'll give you three more days. After that, I want to know exactly where the seal is."
"Do you understand?"
Though his tone was calm, Kingpin felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him. He strained to keep himself from falling to his knees.
"I understand, sir!"
The instant he answered, the pressure and the overwhelming force vanished.
The Masked Man sat casually in Kingpin's chair. "Since there's time, have you run into any problems with your training? Tell me about them. I'll answer whatever I can."
Kingpin let out a long breath, then hurriedly described some of the problems he had encountered.
Obito answered them one by one.
Then, beneath the mask, the clone Wu Chen's expression turned a little strange.
Based on the questions Kingpin had just asked, had his Chakra already reached Chunin level?
It had only been a little over two days!
Could Kingpin have a talent for Chakra?
Having finally managed to cultivate a tool who would never betray him, Wu Chen naturally wanted him to be as strong as possible.
So the clone Wu Chen beckoned Kingpin over and told him to hold out his palm.
Looking at the huge hand, which was as broad as a fan, Obito placed his own hand on it and sensed Kingpin's Chakra.
Whoa! It really is at Chunin level! And he hasn't just reached the threshold, either. He has as much Chakra as a Senior Chunin.
He was somewhat pleased. It seemed Kingpin had been born with a large amount of Chakra, which was good news.
Then Obito withdrew his hand, took a sheet of Chakra Paper from the Kamui Dimension, and handed it to Kingpin. "Hold this paper and channel Chakra into it."
Wu Chen had decided the previous night to let Kingpin use the Chakra Paper.
Those sheets of Chakra Paper were sitting around unused anyway, so he might as well use them.
Incidentally, when he had made that decision last night, he had also tested his own Chakra Nature—Lightning and fire.
Those were the only two he had.
Wu Chen felt deeply ashamed and thought he had disgraced transmigrators everywhere.
Look at other people's transmigrators. Their Chakra Nature usually covered every element: wind, fire, Lightning, water, earth, Yin, and Yang. They had all seven.
Sigh... how embarrassing...
Though Kingpin was curious about what the paper was for, he naturally obeyed the instructions he was given.
He reached out to take the Chakra Paper, then held it and began channeling Chakra into it.
Under Obito's gaze, the Chakra Paper in Kingpin's hand slowly grew damp until it was completely soaked.
"What?!" Kingpin was astonished. This was beyond what he could comprehend.
Seeing this, Obito had a thought and explained, "This is Chakra Paper. It's made from trees that are extremely sensitive to Chakra, and it has only one purpose: determining Chakra Nature."
"Chakra has five affinities: wind, fire, Lightning, water, and earth. Chakra Paper reacts differently to each of them."
"Wind makes it split, fire makes it burn, Lightning makes it wrinkle, water makes it damp, and earth makes it crumble into powder."
"Clearly, your Chakra Nature is water."
"As for what Chakra Nature is useful for, it naturally has the effects of countering and enhancing."
"If you have Chakra of a corresponding affinity, training in and using Ninjutsu of that affinity will yield twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it takes twice the effort for half the result."
"That's about it." Then Obito's eyes showed a hint of amusement. "So, Kingpin, I have a lot of Water Release Ninjutsu here. Do you want them?"
Of course, Obito hadn't tested Kingpin's Chakra Nature and explained everything in such detail out of charity.
He had come to collect money.
Oh, no~ "Equivalent exchange" is a better term.
Kingpin gave him money, and he gave Kingpin power. That fit Wu Chen's principles.
Plundering for no reason wasn't what he wanted to do.
The large sum he had taken from Kingpin before had likewise been an equivalent exchange. More than fifteen million for the power of Chakra and some basics of Chakra training was well worth it for Kingpin!
Just like now, once he understood Wu Chen's intention, Kingpin hurriedly nodded and agreed, as if afraid Obito would change his mind.
For Kingpin, money was something he could have whenever he wanted, but power was what he craved.
Now that he could buy power with money, Kingpin was more than willing.
"All right, then~ I have..." Before Obito could finish, a loud crash came from the bottom floor of Fisk Tower.
He changed the subject and gestured to Kingpin. "We'll talk about this later. Deal with the unexpected situation first!"
"If I'm not mistaken, whoever's here should be connected to this city's government."
Kingpin took a deep breath, nodded to the Masked Man, then turned and went downstairs.
Every step he took was forceful, carrying wave after wave of imposing pressure and sending employees in the hallway fleeing in all directions.
As the employees watched Kingpin storm past, they thought, Lord Kingpin is angry. The people who provoked him are dead for sure!
