Fulfilling a Couple's CP

Perhaps it was Lin Cheng's strength that suppressed Zabuza, or perhaps it was Lin Cheng's words that struck a chord in Zabuza's heart.

Or perhaps both factors played a role.

In any case, for the rest of the journey, Zabuza did not come over to try and cause trouble for Lin Cheng and Kimimaro again.

Just before disembarking, Zabuza, who had not shown his face since, called out to Lin Cheng as he was about to leave with Kimimaro.

"I still don't know your name!"

"Lin Cheng! Lin as in forest, Cheng as in success!"

"Lin Cheng, is it? I've remembered you! You better not die! I still intend to get revenge for this grudge in the future!"

"Do you really need to use such an annoying way to express 'take care'?"

"Ugh... I'm just used to it!"

Watching the little boy turn around and raise an eyebrow, the fierce-looking Zabuza couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

However, what he didn't expect was that even more embarrassment was waiting for him.

"Hey~"

"Hm?"

"The little girl you're holding hands with isn't suited to be a ninja! She's too kind!"

Looking at Zabuza, who had furrowed his brows, Lin Cheng smiled with innocent guile.

"She is very gentle! She is suited to be your wife! Don't miss out, trust me!"

Watching the dumbfounded Zabuza, Lin Cheng turned around, waved his hand, and walked away while holding Kimimaro's hand.

Turning his head to look at the little girl still holding his hand, he saw the expression of confusion and innocence on her face.

Zabuza, who had never considered this question before, suddenly felt his face, which he was trying hard to keep looking fierce, turn bright red.

"Zabuza! What's wrong?"

Her soft voice seemed to reveal a hint of confusion.

"Ahem! Nothing! Haku! Let's go!"

"Oh~"

He was right; Haku's kindness and gentleness were deep in her marrow, and she was indeed not suited to be a ninja!

I cannot ruin her!

Looking at the clear sky, Zabuza made a decision he never would have imagined possible before.

He would take Haku into seclusion and stop involving himself in the affairs of ninjas!

"Big Brother Lin Cheng!"

"Hm? What is it, little Kimimaro?"

"That little girl is so much like you!"

"Is that so? Perhaps it's because we are fated! I feel that I am very much like you too, little Kimimaro!"

"Oh~"

"Little Kimimaro!"

"Hm?"

"Shall we go to the Land of Snow to play?"

"I will listen to whatever Big Brother Lin Cheng says!"

"In that case, let's set off!"

"Mm."

In the Land of Snow, Lin Cheng was holding Kimimaro's hand, watching the battle in the distance!

The scene of the battle was spectacular!

Lin Cheng had once again learned a bunch of new ninjutsu!

One could even say he had filled the gaps in his Ice Release repertoire!

Although he had previously awakened his own Ice Kekkei Genkai, he had mostly relied on the doubled chakra reserves following the awakening and the ninjutsu the system had copied for him to fend off the constant pursuers.

Coupled with the fact that no one had guided him in Ice Release, Lin Cheng, lacking systematic training, had the Ice Kekkei Genkai in name only, but knew no Ice Release ninjutsu!

Now, having witnessed the great battle in the distance and utilizing the system's copying ability, Lin Cheng had become a true Ice Release ninja!

"Little Kimimaro! Shall we go and help?"

Looking at Kimimaro, who had been quietly watching the battle in the distance, Lin Cheng asked softly.

"Mm, I'll listen to whatever Brother Lin Cheng says!"

"Then~ that fatty is yours! I'm going to deal with that pretentious guy!"

"Mm."

"Heh! Let me try out my new ninjutsu first! Ice Release! Ice Prison Technique!"

As Lin Cheng carefully performed the hand seals with unpracticed movements, countless connected blocks of ice appeared one after another.

Caught off guard, the group of Snow Ninjas from the Land of Snow scrambled to dodge in a panic.

Several minor ninja whose strength and reflexes were lacking were taken down in a single blow by Lin Cheng's clumsy Ice Prison Technique, becoming frozen solid within the blocks of ice.
