Tsukikawa Isshiki made a stopping gesture.
"No need to keep blocking this mist. It's just a couple of small fries—I've already gotten hold of the mist's main core."
Tsukikawa Isshiki spoke calmly.
Kitahara Kaede was somewhat skeptical.
But he slowly lowered his hands anyway.
As Kitahara Kaede stopped preventing the mist from approaching.
The mist began to drift toward them on its own.
At first, Kitahara Kaede was still worried.
But when he noticed that all the mist was burrowing into Tsukikawa Isshiki's body.
Kitahara Kaede relaxed.
He could not help but feel a surge of admiration for Tsukikawa Isshiki.
"Were you unsure what to do at first too?"
Kitahara Kaede asked.
Now that Tsukikawa Isshiki had the situation under control.
Kitahara Kaede spoke much more casually.
Tsukikawa Isshiki felt a little awkward at those words.
After all, his strength had yet to recover.
He had emerged too early.
Of course, he had no idea where in the ninja world that freak had come from.
That person had actually absorbed that kind of energy in an extremely short time.
It had truly screwed Tsukikawa Isshiki over.
Because his original plan had been to use the entire ninja world as his furnace.
At first, no one in the ninja world had possessed that level of strength.
And those who did were even more devious than Kitahara Kaede.
So he could not emerge.
After finally encountering a Kitahara Kaede.
Tsukikawa Isshiki had finally gathered the courage to carry out his plan.
Unfortunately, the plan had ultimately been disrupted.
"All the mist has gathered around me. What are you spacing out for?"
Kitahara Kaede suddenly yelled.
Only then did Tsukikawa Isshiki come back to his senses.
He had become too immersed in his memories and lost focus.
He immediately drew back the mist
