Thanks to Lin Cheng's constant restrictions on Kimimaro's use of the power of Shikotsumyaku, Kimimaro's Kekkei Genkai Disease wasn't too severe!
Although the medical skills Lin Cheng had learned from Shennong weren't enough to cure it completely, they were still enough to keep it under control.
Lin Cheng knew that, in the end, only Tsunade could cure it completely.
And now clearly wasn't the time!
Knowing force wouldn't work and unwilling to resort to it, Lin Cheng had no choice but to wait.
While he waited, Lin Cheng decided to continue traveling.
His body still lacked the Lightning and Fire attributes, as well as the most important Yin and Yang attributes!
And the easiest place to obtain the Lightning attribute was Kumogakure, in the Land of Lightning!
So, after temporarily suppressing Kimimaro's Kekkei Genkai Disease, Lin Cheng set off to travel around the Land of Lightning with him.
Perhaps Kumogakure had learned a little about what the Lin Cheng brothers had done in the Land of Earth and the Land of Water over the past few years.
So, less than three months after the two began their quiet travels through the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure set its sights on them.
Kumogakure, in the Land of Lightning, had always been committed to acquiring more Kekkei Genkai to strengthen its military!
The arrival of the Lin Cheng brothers had naturally drawn the village's attention!
Considering that the scant information they'd gathered repeatedly emphasized how powerful the Lin Cheng brothers were,
Fourth Raikage A decided to dispatch a team of ninjas to surround and attack them.
Soon after, Lin Cheng and Kimimaro were ambushed by a team of Kumogakure ninjas!
In the process, Lin Cheng not only acquired the Lightning attribute he'd been missing, but also the Fire attribute!
Having already obtained what he wanted, Lin Cheng naturally had no interest in continuing to tangle with Kumogakure's ninjas.
He unleashed the Hidden Mist Technique, slaughtered them indiscriminately, then left.
By the time Fourth Raikage A learned what had happened, the Lin Cheng brothers had already left the Land of Lightning.
The outcome naturally sent Fourth Raikage A into a fury!
If his assistant, Mabui, hadn't stepped in to stop him, Fourth Raikage A might have gone after the Lin Cheng brothers himself.
Meanwhile, not long after leaving the Land of Lightning, Lin Cheng and Kimimaro found their path blocked once again.
"I finally found you, Laughing Asura Lin Cheng!"
A knowing smile played across the face marked with blue patterns.
With red glasses and a chubby body, Chukichi stood in the Lin Cheng brothers' way.
There was something indescribably strange about him.
"Who are you?"
Lin Cheng raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected anyone from Kirigakure to dare approach him of their own accord.
What puzzled Lin Cheng was that the other person's companion wasn't another Kirigakure ninja.
Instead, it was a strange ninja carrying a giant scroll on his back!
"Who we are doesn't matter! Just know that we're here to give you trouble!"
The corners of Chukichi's mouth curled up again. He immediately turned to his companion and said, "Pasu! You're up!"
"Heh! Leave it to me! Summoning Technique!"
With a smug grin, the ninja, whose village was unknown, reached behind himself and removed the giant scroll from his back.
He expertly unfurled it, bit his thumb, and smeared his blood across the inside of the open scroll.
In an instant, countless clouds of smoke billowed out of the giant scroll.
The next moment, more than a dozen summoning beasts burst from the rising smoke!
They came in all shapes and sizes, some beasts and some birds.
The largest stood over fifteen meters tall and looked like a huge water buffalo that had developed chakra.
Lowering its head, it charged straight at Lin Cheng and Kimimaro.
The smaller ones looked like some kind of strange birds. They perched on the buffalo's back, seemingly waiting for a chance to launch a sneak attack.
High above, two enormous birds of entirely different kinds circled through the sky.
They seemed to be waiting for a chance to strike, too.
Besides them, a number of other strange summoning beasts moved to surround the Lin Cheng brothers!
