Fleeing in Disarray, the Rock Ninja

"Watch out!"

"Boom!"

Facing the sudden explosion, Lin Cheng and his two companions dodged instantly!

"Hey! Didn't they say it was only Hatake Kakashi? What's the deal with the other two brats?"

Walking out from the shadows without any attempt at concealment, the Explosion Release ninja from Iwagakure, Gari, asked in an arrogant tone.

"Who knows! Maybe they just ran into them! Don't worry about that, just kill them all!"

Following the other man's arrogant remark, the rest of the Iwagakure group also emerged from the shadows.

However, as the other arrogant fellow was speaking, his voice suddenly came to an abrupt halt!

A moment later, the voice that had been so cocky a second ago instantly turned into a gnashing of teeth!

"...It's~ you!!"

"Oh? It's you! The guy who got one-shotted by my Body Flicker Technique!"

"Bastard! Last time, I was just careless! This time, I'll make you witness the art of Deidara! Earth Style: C—uh—"

Just like that scene from back then, it replayed once more!

Still the Body Flicker Technique, still the same position!

Still the same pathetic collapse to the ground!

With just this single movement, the entire scene instantly froze.

"No matter how many times you try, it won't change the fact that you're trash! You really are~ too weak!"

The cold words, like a mocking, icy wind, instantly swept through everyone's hearts!

Both cold and humiliating!

"Bastard! Get your foot off my senior's face!"

Kurotsuchi, who looked not much older than Lin Cheng, flew into a rage upon seeing Lin Cheng's foot planted on Deidara's face.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Spear!"

Sharp rock spears instantly pierced through the ground, erupting from the spot where Lin Cheng was standing.

However, before a look of triumph could even grace Kurotsuchi's face, her body suddenly stiffened.

"It's not right for a little girl to be so violent!"

A playful voice brushed past her ear; Kurotsuchi had never felt the scent of death so close before!

"Kurotsuchi!"

"Go to hell! Landmine Fist!"

Facing Kitsuchi's panic and the sneak attack from Gari's Landmine Fist, Lin Cheng, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, used the Body Flicker Technique for the third time in a very short span.

"How is this possible? How can anyone use the Body Flicker Technique multiple times in such a short period?"

Feeling Lin Cheng's presence suddenly appear behind him again, Gari was filled with shock and fear!

The others felt the same!

The reason Body Flicker Shisui was so famous was precisely because Uchiha Shisui could use the Body Flicker Technique in succession!

But even Body Flicker Shisui couldn't reach the level Lin Cheng had just displayed!

Any Jonin, or even a gifted Genin, could use the Body Flicker Technique once in a short time!

However, if that number increased to twice, that person's strength would be elevated to an infinite degree in the eyes of others.

Imagine if two people were evenly matched in strength.

One uses the Body Flicker Technique to move behind the other, and the second person immediately uses it as well.

Just when the person who used it second thinks they have won, the first person uses the Body Flicker Technique yet again.

One can only imagine the outcome for the second person!

And now, someone was actually capable of using the Body Flicker Technique three times in rapid succession?

What kind of power was this?

Even for Body Flicker Shisui, achieving this would require more time for his meridians to recover.

The Body Flicker Technique is not a forbidden jutsu, but using it repeatedly in a short time turns it into one!

With a casual kick, he sent the shocked and terrified Gari flying.

Lin Cheng used the Body Flicker Technique a fourth time without a care in the world, returning to his original position.

With his hands tucked into his pockets, Lin Cheng said dismissively, "I just ran into an old friend today, so I'm in a good mood!"

"Leave now while my mood hasn't soured yet, and it might still be in time!"

"You!"

Facing Lin Cheng's contempt, the group from Iwagakure could only seethe in silence, not daring to speak out.

Fourth Body Flicker Technique!

No one knew if Lin Cheng could pull off a fifth, a sixth, or even a seventh!

No one knew!

"If you don't leave now, I might just change my mind."

Looking at the Iwagakure group with a playful gaze, a monstrous killing intent instantly surged in Lin Cheng's eyes!

In that single moment, Kitsuchi, who was leading the team, made his decision without the slightest hesitation!

"Retreat!"

Watching the Iwagakure group withdraw without a second thought.

Kakashi, who had not said a word from start to finish, could not help but be dumbfounded!

"What's wrong, Kakashi?"

Seeing Kakashi's stunned expression, Lin Cheng asked with a hint of amusement.

"It's nothing!"

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi replied with a bitter, soft laugh.

"Since it's nothing, let's continue on our way!"

"Right!"
