Seimei's words left the Iwagakure group stunned for a moment, before they burst into laughter one after another and looked at the man floating low in the air as if he were mentally disabled.
Only Han's expression turned grave after his initial surprise, because he had just witnessed several people in the Land of Iron with equally boundless arrogance turn the Five Kage Summit upside down.
Could this guy... be one of those people too?
But caution was caution. Han was a veteran ninja who had survived countless battles; he would not become paranoid or lose without fighting just because of an opponent's boast.
So, he assumed a stance and asked calmly,
"Lead the Land of Artisans to rule the Shinobi World? You certainly talk big! But I wonder whether you truly have the ability to back it up!"
As he spoke, his hands rapidly formed seals, and a layer of scorching steam wrapped around his entire body.
[Boil Release: Steam Armor]!
Hiss, hiss—
Powerful steam continuously built up throughout Han's body, providing immense propulsion. The instant his words ended, that accumulated force reached its peak as well.
A thunderous boom erupted behind Han, and he shot forward like a charging train!
"Boil Release: Unrivaled Super Strength!"
He leaped up and kicked straight through the sound barrier, smashing his foot viciously into Seimei's face!
Bang!
Seimei had just finished declaring his ambitions and was preparing to show the world his overwhelming power.
Yet a kick suddenly flew at him, so fast that he could not react in time. Infinite Armor, which could absorb chakra, was utterly useless against such a purely taijutsu-based attack.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of the artisans and Iwagakure Ninja, this ultimate weapon whose boasts had been larger than the sky was kicked away by Han.
