Uconditional Trust

After seeing Uchiha Matsuzaki prepare to attack, the monster foolishly copied his movements.

"What's going on? Is this thing just stupid?"

"Who cares how smart it is at a time like this? We need to take it down quickly."

"Now we know it has regenerative abilities, but we don't know if it has any weaknesses. I'll have to figure that out while we fight."

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the monster, which had copied his stance, and muttered under his breath.

With that, Uchiha Matsuzaki gripped the knife in his hand and charged forward again at top speed.

The monster charged toward Uchiha Matsuzaki at the same time.

As they met, they instantly launched identical attacks, and the two of them collided.

They were incredibly fast, and every time they exchanged blows, they used the same moves. It seemed this monster was extremely good at imitation.

When Uchiha Matsuzaki saw that the situation was turning against him, he immediately retreated.

"Chidori!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki sheathed his knife and used a ninjutsu technique.

Lightning appeared around his right hand, flickering incessantly.

"This is my first time using this technique. I have to say, it looks pretty cool."

"Here I go!"

With a smile on his face, Uchiha Matsuzaki vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared in front of the monster, catching it off guard.

By the time the monster reacted, it was too late. Uchiha Matsuzaki's lightning-charged right hand had already slashed at its neck.

"This... No!"

When Uchiha Matsuzaki saw that his attack had done nothing, he was instantly overcome with panic.

He suddenly realized that the hardest part of the monster's body was its neck. That was the only reasonable explanation; otherwise, his attack just now should have taken its head off.

"Damn, it's that hard?"

Uchiha Matsuzaki pulled back and stared at the monster.

Just as Uchiha Matsuzaki was trying to figure out what to do, the monster suddenly went berserk and launched a swift attack.

Caught off guard, Uchiha Matsuzaki was ambushed by the monster, which raked three gashes into his arm.

"Damn it, now I don't have any advantage at all!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki clutched his arm and stared at the monster.

Chestnut Snow, who had been watching from the sidelines, realized something was wrong.

"Matsuzaki, attack the monster's crown!"

"Trust me. This will definitely defeat it!"

Chestnut Snow shouted to Uchiha Matsuzaki.

After hearing what Chestnut Snow had just said, Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't hesitate. He picked up his knife again, ready to attack.

For some reason, Uchiha Matsuzaki had suddenly felt that he had to trust what Chestnut Snow had just said.

"Okay..."

Uchiha Matsuzaki ignored his injured arm and gripped the knife tightly with both hands again. He fixed his gaze on the monster's crown, gritted his teeth, vanished from the spot, and charged toward it.

In an instant, Uchiha Matsuzaki's knife came down on the monster, but it wasn't about to go down easily. It raised both hands above its head and blocked the attack.

But what the monster never expected was that Uchiha Matsuzaki suddenly vanished into thin air and appeared behind it.
