Kingpin had a very fulfilling three-day period.
His Chakra level increased rapidly; in just three days, he rose from Chunin to Elite Jonin.
This shows that Kingpin has the potential to become Tailless Tailed Beast like Kisame Hoshigaki.
Not only that, while increasing his Chakra reserves, Kingpin also learned the five Water Release Ninjutsu, truly gaining the fighting power of a ninja.
It's fair to say that the current Kingpin easily take on a hundred of the old Kingpins in one go.
Despite his increased strength, Kingpin was now kneeling on the floor like a child who had made a mistake, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Because even now, neither he nor his subordinates have been able to find the place where the Nine-Tails Seal.
After all, New York is just too big. Even if Kingpin's gang had thousands of members, it would be impossible for them to search the entire New York City in just a few days.
Of course, more importantly, Kingpin did not personally participate in the search for the Nine-Tails Seal.
He has been constantly improving his skills.
Striving to improve and enhance one's abilities is nothing to be ashamed of.
The Masked Man did not reprimand Kingpin for this when he was teaching him.
If they successfully find the location where the Nine-Tails is sealed, then everyone will be happy, Kingpin be fine.
However, the charge of Kingpin fulfilling the Masked Man's task was not found, even though the evidence was conclusive.
In this situation, according to Kingpin's gang's methods, break all four limbs and sink them into New York Bay!
So at that moment, before the Masked Man could speak, Kingpin knelt down first, begging for a chance to live.
The Masked Man looked at Kingpin with interest and asked, "Kingpin, lift your head, what are you doing?"
"My lord, I am guilty!" Kingpin a deep voice, "I shouldn't have focused on my own affairs and neglected your important matters!"
Regardless, if something goes wrong, the fault always lies with the subordinates!
Subordinates who can deeply understand this point and voluntarily take responsibility are the most favored by their superiors.
That's exactly what Kingpin is doing right now.
If it were someone else, they might have thought Kingpin admitting his mistake was good and forgiven him this time.
But would the Masked Man do that?
Seeing Kingpin still kneeling, the Masked Man Kingpin, "Kingpin, you know you were wrong, so how do you think you should punish yourself?"
While seemingly offering Kingpin the option of punishment, the real intention was to force Kingpin make his stance clear.
Kingpin understood this meaning and looked up at the Masked Man. "Sir, I'll cut off one of my own arms!"
"Hmm, not bad, your attitude is alright." The Masked Man nodded, walked up to Kingpin, and patted Kingpin the shoulder.
Having mastered Ninjutsu, Kingpin well aware of the importance of hand seals.
He was willing to pay the price of losing an arm, clearly to save his life—like a gecko losing its tail.
Just as Kingpin overjoyed, thinking he was about to lose his arm but not his life, the Masked Man said, "I'll keep your arm; losing it will affect your fighting ability."
"For now, you're still somewhat useful, so I'll try a different form of punishment."
Before Kingpin ask, he felt a sharp pain that directly assaulted his brain!
Pain!!
Unbearable pain!
Kingpin felt like he wanted to rip his own brain out to relieve the pain.
The pain lasted for a minute before slowly subsiding. Kingpin's clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and he lay flat on the ground like a half-dead fish, panting as if he had survived a near-death experience.
This is the purpose of Caged Bird Seal!
The pain subsided, Kingpin, forcing himself to stay awake despite his exhaustion, quickly rolled over and knelt on one knee. "Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!"
The Masked Man withdrew the hand seal that activated the Caged Bird Seal. "Don't rush to thank me. If we can't find the place where the Nine-Tails Seal..."
The Masked Man didn't say what came next, but Kingpin knew what it was.
So, he immediately dragged his weary body out to join the search party himself.
Kingpin was scared.
It felt like his brain was being stabbed by countless needles; Kingpin never wants to experience that feeling again!
Watching Kingpin stagger away in a hurry, Wu Chen smiled slightly.
This mobilization of the Caged Bird Seal was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Wu Chen, but rather a premeditated plan.
Although the Caged Bird Seal was imprinted on Kingpin's head, it was never used.
Who knows Kingpin would actually believe it?
Now things are much better; Kingpin will probably be more obedient from now on!
Wu Chen had anticipated that the sealed location would not be found.
Therefore, it's time for the Shadow Clones over there to make their move.
In Times Square, the Central City Manhattan New York, known as the "Crossroads of the World," a brown-haired, sleazy-looking hoodlum Earth Flow by, holding a white crystal and looking exhausted.
A flash of red Sharingan appeared in his eyes, and then he walked straight toward the public bench in the middle of Times Square.
Sitting on the public bench, the redness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a weary gaze.
"When will this end...?!"
The thug yelled as he saw the crystal in his hand emitting a blinding red light!
