Everyone Likes Crushing Enemies

"Brother! How was it?"

Approaching Lin Cheng, who wore an expression of excitement, Kimimaro asked with curiosity.

"Just as I thought! This is a special summoning scroll! Merge!"

Nodding with a faint smile as he explained, Lin Cheng took the one he had obtained long ago.

He merged the contract scroll belonging to the marine life summoning beast into the giant summoning scroll he had just acquired.

"Done! Heh! From now on, this summoning scroll belongs to me."

With a smug smile, Lin Cheng retied the giant summoning scroll and slung it onto his back.

Just as he prepared to call Kimimaro to leave, the unexpected appearance of an enemy halted Lin Cheng's steps once again.

"Who's there!"

"Hmph! What a sharp sense of smell!

I originally sensed two seemingly decent hearts from afar.

I didn't expect one to be ruined already.

And the other is actually so young!"

As the familiar words rang out, a name leaped directly into Lin Cheng's mind!

Kakuzu!

Watching the man calmly retract his Earth Grudge Fear tentacles from the position of Chukichi's heart, Lin Cheng sneered.

"What? Looking to scavenge some 'leftovers'? Too bad, you're going to be disappointed!"

"Disappointed? A little, perhaps! Such a good heart, ruined just like that!

But it doesn't matter! There is still one more!"

Staring fixedly at Lin Cheng and Kimimaro opposite him, Kakuzu said in a tone devoid of fluctuation.

"Fire Release! Searing Migraine! Wind Release! Pressure Damage!"

The violent sea of fire combined with the highly compressed tornado, and the flames instantly became even more ferocious!

Seeing this, Lin Cheng's pupils constricted sharply.

"Ice Release! One-Horned White Whale!"

The giant one-horned white whale, which had appeared just moments ago, manifested once again!

The originally fierce fire, upon encountering the pounce of the One-Horned White Whale, instantly acted like a mouse meeting a cat.

It withered away immediately.

Kakuzu, who had never expected Lin Cheng to be able to use this move again, immediately fled his position in a disheveled state.

Escaping along with him was Kakuzu's passerby teammate.

"Little Kimimaro! That guy is yours! I'll deal with this ugly freak!"

"Understood, Brother!"

Nodding, Kimimaro happily charged toward the random ninja!

"Damn brat! How dare you look down on me!"

Seeing Kimimaro coming toward him with a happy expression, the random ninja was enraged.

The opponent was clearly, like Kimimaro, the close-combat type.

The two traded blows, and soon, under Kimimaro's intentional guidance, they gradually moved further away.

"What an astonishing amount of chakra you possess! I am even more interested in your heart now!"

Slowly approaching Lin Cheng again, Kakuzu bared his fangs once more!

"I want to see what you plan to do this time! Fire Release! Searing Migraine! Wind Release! Pressure Damage!"

Those strange masks floated out, linked by the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles, and used the same technique again!

Immediately following a slight pause in his movements, Kakuzu unleashed a new technique!

"Lightning Release! False Darkness!"

Using the fierce sea of fire as cover, a spear of lightning with extraordinary power appeared instantly before Lin Cheng's eyes.

"Water Release! Fivefold Water Wall!"

His expression turning cold, Lin Cheng immediately set up his defense.

Watching the Lightning Release: False Darkness being weakened layer by layer by the Fivefold Water Wall, and the sea of fire being blocked outside, killing intent surged in Lin Cheng's eyes!

With a flash of the Body Flicker Technique, he used the power of his Ice bloodline to create ice mirrors in mid-air, stepping upon them.

Then, before Kakuzu could react, he ascended high into the sky.

"Actually, I'm just like you! I like to use absolute force to crush everything!

You've had your fun; it's time for me to take a turn!"

His cold voice drifted downward, and after a series of complex hand seals.

Countless water molecules condensed, forming an astonishing number of ice mirrors high in the sky!

Those ice mirrors were arranged neatly by size, with the ones at the highest position being the largest!

And the ones at the lowest position being the smallest!
