"Big brother! How did it go?"
Seeing Lin Cheng's excited expression, Kimimaro asked curiously.
"Just as I thought! This is a special Summoning Scroll! Fuse!"
Lin Cheng nodded and smiled as he explained, then took out the one he had obtained long ago.
It was the contract scroll for marine-life summon beasts. He fused it into the gigantic Summoning Scroll he had just acquired.
"Done! Heh! This Summoning Scroll belongs to me now."
With a smug smile, Lin Cheng tied the enormous scroll back up and slung it over his back.
He had just been about to call Kimimaro to leave when an unexpected enemy appeared, stopping him in his tracks once more.
"Who's there?!"
"Hmph! You've got a keen nose!
"I sensed two seemingly decent hearts over here from a distance.
"Didn't expect one of them to be ruined already.
"And the other one is so young!"
At the familiar words, a name sprang straight into Lin Cheng's mind!
Kakuzu!
Watching Kakuzu calmly withdraw the tendrils of Earth Grudge Fear from Chukichi's heart, Lin Cheng gave a cold smile.
"What? You came over hoping to pick up some 'leftovers'? Too bad. You're in for a disappointment!"
"Disappointed? A little, yes! Such a fine heart, ruined just like that!
"But it doesn't matter! There's still another one!"
Kakuzu stared at Lin Cheng and Kimimaro, his tone utterly unruffled.
"Fire Release: Searing Migraine! Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
A raging sea of flames combined with an intensely compressed tornado, making the fire flare even more fiercely!
Lin Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply at the sight.
"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!"
The enormous white whale with a single horn, which had appeared once before, showed up again!
When the ferocious flames met the whale's crushing charge, they instantly wilted like mice before a cat.
Kakuzu, never expecting Lin Cheng to use that move again, immediately fled in a panic.
His nameless teammate fled with him.
"Little Kimimaro! Leave that guy to you! I'll take care of this ugly freak!"
"Got it, big brother!"
Kimimaro nodded and happily charged toward one of the nameless ninjas!
"Damn brat! How dare you underestimate me!"
Seeing Kimimaro approach with a delighted expression, the nameless ninja flew into a rage.
He was clearly a close-combat fighter, just like Kimimaro.
The two exchanged blows, and under Kimimaro's deliberate guidance, they soon drifted farther away.
"You have an astonishing amount of chakra! I'm even more interested in your heart now!"
Kakuzu slowly approached Lin Cheng again, baring his fangs once more!
"Let's see what you'll do this time! Fire Release: Searing Migraine! Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
The strange masks floated out, connected by the tendrils of Earth Grudge Fear, and unleashed the same techniques again!
Then, after a brief pause, Kakuzu used a new technique!
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Concealed by the raging sea of flames, a mighty spear of lightning appeared before Lin Cheng in an instant.
"Water Release: Fivefold Water Wall!"
Lin Cheng's expression turned cold as he immediately defended himself.
Watching the Lightning Release: False Darkness weaken layer by layer against the Fivefold Water Wall, while the flames were kept at bay, Lin Cheng's eyes filled with killing intent!
He flickered with the Body Flicker Technique, then used the power of his Ice Release kekkei genkai to create an ice mirror in midair and step onto it.
Then, before Kakuzu could react, he rose high into the sky.
"Actually, I'm just like you! I like using overwhelming force to crush everything!
"You've had your fun. Now it's my turn!"
His icy voice rang out below. After forming a complex series of Hand Seals,
Moisture condensed into countless ice mirrors high in the sky!
The mirrors were neatly arranged by size: the higher they were, the larger they were!
The lower they were, the smaller they were!
