Kekkei Genkai Awakening

"Ding! Please complete the mission: 'Kill the Jonin Kongyoumaru'!

Reward: Activate the Yuki Clan Kekkei Genkai!"

"System! F***! I was just planning to act cool and run away! What the hell do you mean by making me kill him? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Lin Cheng roared at the system in his mind while struggling to fend off the opponent's close-quarters attacks.

Facing melee combat, Lin Cheng's current young body was always a fatal weakness.

In the thick fog, after trading a few blows, Lin Cheng had managed to block everything without injury, but his stamina was dropping severely.

His heavy panting betrayed his weakness!

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Little brat! Are you afraid? Death is already closing in on you! Die!"

In the invisible fog, Kongyoumaru had appeared behind Lin Cheng before he even realized it.

His ninja blade was raised high, like an executioner carrying out a sentence, and he swung it down viciously!

The pleasure and madness in his eyes spoke volumes about the mental state of Kirigakure ninjas under the Bloody Mist policy.

Seeing the blade descending and about to strike, Lin Cheng felt the crisis looming, and his focus reached an unprecedented level.

Moving entirely on instinct, he performed a series of hand seals that broke through his previous limits.

"Water Style! Water Prison Jutsu!"

As the blade descended, the Water Prison formed to protect him!

As a Water Style ninjutsu capable of both offense and defense, the Water Prison Jutsu demonstrated its unique properties.

The blade that was about to strike Lin Cheng was slowed by the power of the Water Prison, becoming sluggish in an instant.

The moment he brushed past Kongyoumaru's blade, Lin Cheng ignored his body's exhaustion and continued to control the Water Prison.

The water surged, wrapping directly around Kongyoumaru behind him.

Everything happened in one fluid motion.

By the time Kongyoumaru reacted and tried to retreat, the power of the Water Prison had already spread across his entire arm.

Shocked, Kongyoumaru didn't hesitate and immediately tried to pull away.

Having finally seized this opportunity, how could Lin Cheng allow Kongyoumaru to leave so easily without leaving something behind?

While the Water Prison Jutsu acted as a hindrance to Kongyoumaru, it was completely unobstructed for Lin Cheng, the caster.

Taking advantage of the way the Water Prison slowed Kongyoumaru's movements, Lin Cheng pulled out a kunai and pierced through the wrist Kongyoumaru used to hold his blade.

"Ah~!"

After a scream, Kongyoumaru finally broke free from the Water Prison.

The unexpected attack and the pain seemed to have caught Kongyoumaru completely off guard.

Following the scream, the thick fog that had been lingering began to dissipate.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Watching Kongyoumaru retreat in a sorry state after breaking free from the Water Prison, Lin Cheng immediately threw three kunai at him without hesitation.

While forcing the opponent back again, Lin Cheng gasped for air and grabbed the ninja blade that had been left behind in the Water Prison.

"Damn brat!"

Clutching his pierced wrist, Kongyoumaru roared in pain!

His voice was filled with anger and resentment!

Kongyoumaru never would have imagined that he would be wounded like this by a little brat.

"Huff~ huff~ hehe! Hehe! Your right hand is ruined, and you've lost your blade; you look quite pathetic!"

"Damn brat! I won't let you get away with this!"

He roared like a wounded wolf, but deep in his eyes, a hint of retreat flickered.

He hadn't expected the brat before him to be this strong!

No! It should be said that his combat instincts were strong!

Unreasonably strong, strong enough to catch him completely off guard!

He knew he couldn't keep tangling with this brat.

Otherwise, he might pathetically die at the hands of a child!

"I see a hint of retreat in your eyes!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as Lin Cheng took the initiative to charge at Kongyoumaru, whose right arm was now useless.

"Since we've met, don't even think about leaving!"

"Brat! Do you think you've already won?"

A flash of irritation and fury crossed his eyes. Ignoring the injury to his right hand, Kongyoumaru immediately held a kunai horizontally across his chest with his left hand and took the initiative to charge toward the oncoming Lin Cheng.

Sharp glints intersected as the two figures brushed past each other!

Looking at the ninja blade that had pierced through his chest from behind, a miserable smile appeared on Kongyoumaru's face.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host! Mission 'Kill Jonin Kongyoumaru' completed! Host's own Kekkei Genkai activated!"

Slowly turning around, Lin Cheng pulled the ninja blade from Kongyoumaru's body, feeling somewhat intoxicated by the power surging after the awakening of his Kekkei Genkai!
