Double Suicide Decapitation Technique

Just as the girl finished speaking, several figures chasing after them swooshed forward and surrounded them all.

"Princess Koyuki, give up. Stop running! Lord Dotou is still waiting for you!"

The lead pursuer spoke coldly. Though his words sounded somewhat respectful, his tone was filled with killing intent.

"That bastard Kazahana Dōtō killed my father, and now he won't even spare me?!" Kazahana Koyuki said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with grief and fury.

"Our mission is only to bring Princess Koyuki back!"

The pursuers wore cold expressions, completely unmoved. But their self-important chatter irritated the Cheongsam Beauty standing nearby.

"There should be a limit to talking to yourselves! Who exactly are you brainless fools?! Answer my question!"

"Hm?!" Only then did the pursuers turn their attention to the Cheongsam Beauty. Their gazes immediately went blank, their minds clearly shaken.

At that moment, the handsome twelve- or thirteen-year-old Blond Boy standing at the rear spoke. "All right, Hancock! Control these people first! I think I might understand a little about our situation!"

The Blond Boy's words finally snapped the pursuers out of their daze. At the same time, wariness appeared in their eyes. Clearly, they had realized that this group of three was no ordinary bunch.

"Yes, my lord! Don't worry, I'll go biu and take care of every last one of them!"

Hancock turned around with a brilliant smile. For a moment, it made the snowy landscape seem radiant. Before the people opposite could even feel angry, that breathtaking smile had already left them utterly enchanted and dizzy.

But when Hancock turned back, her dazzling smile vanished at once, replaced by a proud sneer. "All of you, turn to stone for me! Bewitching Sweet Breeze!"

Not good! Kakashi had barely torn himself free from Hancock's charm. He had no idea what that pink light was, but he could vaguely feel his mind being drawn into it. Without hesitation, he bit down hard on his tongue, finally restoring his clarity.

When he turned his head, he discovered that the Snow Ninjas pursuing him had been utterly wiped out, transformed into stone statues. Strangely, each statue still wore an intoxicated smile, as though it had witnessed some peerless beauty.

Kakashi shivered slightly. Thinking back on what had just happened, he immediately understood the condition for activating her ability. (As long as someone is captivated by her appearance and feels even the slightest attraction, they'll be turned directly into stone?! I never imagined... beauty could really become a weapon!)

At the same time, Kakashi felt his back grow noticeably heavier. The soft body of the girl who had been lying on his back had become incredibly stiff. Without even looking back, Kakashi knew that Kazahana Koyuki on his back had been hit as well.

(Even women aren't immune... Indeed, that demonic beauty and charm have already transcended the limits of gender... Is this some rare Kekkei Genkai?)

If it really was a Kekkei Genkai, Kakashi had to admit that he had learned something new. Ninjas truly were people who utterly defied common sense. At the very least, he could not figure out whether this ability to turn people into stone was Genjutsu or some kind of elemental ninjutsu.

Now, Kakashi could only hope his opponent was the standard type of Ninja who relied on a Secret Technique and was not particularly strong in other areas. Otherwise...

"Huh? You can actually resist my charm?" Hancock gave a soft sound of surprise, but she did not hesitate. She kicked out directly. With a puff, Kakashi exploded into a cloud of smoke. Clearly, it had only been a Shadow Clone.

"Hm?! Is this some Devil Fruit ability?" Hancock was startled for a moment before quickly calming down. She immediately spread out her Observation Haki, then her expression changed as extreme fury appeared on her face.

"Bastard, stop right there!"

A hand suddenly shot out from the snow behind them and grabbed the Blond Boy by the ankle, then yanked down hard!

"Earth Release, Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"

In an instant, the entire Blond Boy was pulled into the ground, leaving only his utterly baffled head exposed.

Kakashi leaped up, Kunai in hand, and held it to the boy's neck. "If you don't want him hurt, stop right now!"

Hancock stopped in her tracks, a chill flashing through her eyes. "I truly underestimated you! You shameless mongrel! If you dare harm even a single hair on my lord's head, I guarantee you'll die a most miserable death!"

Kakashi shrugged, completely unconcerned. "Sorry, but Ninjas will use any means necessary. Threats aren't going to help. I think we can have a proper conversation now, right?"

"Um..." The Blond Boy buried in the ground suddenly spoke. "Although this looks pretty embarrassing, you don't actually think you can capture me like this, do you?"

"Hm?!" Hearing that, Kakashi's vigilance soared. But before he could make any move, a flicker of lightning flashed across the Blond Boy's forehead and struck him directly!

At the same time, the Kunai in Kakashi's hand broke free from his grip in an instant, spun around, and nailed his hand to the ground!

"Urghhhh!" Kakashi began trembling violently. What had struck him was not some Lightning Release ninjutsu, but the pure lightning of nature itself. His nerves were instantly paralyzed, his muscles contracted, and his whole body shook uncontrollably.

By the time he recovered from the electric shock, one of his hands had already been nailed to the ground by the Kunai. The blood flowing from it had frozen into crimson ice.

The Blond Boy twisted his body and blasted open the ground with a boom, slowly climbing to his feet. "Although this Physical Body is very powerful and its instincts are impressive, I'm still not quite used to it. As expected, I'm not some combat-type genius. And I can't use elementalization either. Is it because I've entered a different world?"

The Blond Boy was naturally Vegapunk, who had switched bodies. This body possessed extremely high talent and came with swordsman-level combat instincts. Even without training, its speed, strength, and defense all surpassed Kakashi's current abilities.

However, Vegapunk had never truly fought anyone before and lacked combat experience. In an actual fight, he might still be able to react through the body's instincts. But when Kakashi ambushed him with the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, he had become briefly flustered and was pulled straight into the ground.

Fortunately, aside from this Physical Body, Vegapunk also possessed the powers of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Magnet-Magnet Fruit. Even without those Devil Fruit powers, he could have relied on his immense physical strength to break free from the trap created by the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique. As for Kakashi's Kunai, it would probably have struggled even to cut his skin.
