Death Takes Notice

Shen Mo said nothing.

He simply lay back down, pulled Bismarck's little hand over, and continued massaging it. He appeared to be contentedly half-closing his eyes as he gazed at the eternal twilight before him.

In reality, however, his attention was already focused on Thanos.

So far, the Chakra Fruit had only increased the power within Thanos, amounting to nothing more than an entirely new form of energy. However, as he extracted more Chakra, even transforming his own life and soul into Chakra, Death would certainly notice him.

Thanos had actually been right just now.

The essence of Chakra was life force.

It had already begun to touch upon the laws of life.

So.

What reaction would Death have?

Shen Mo's eyes were half-lidded, but his attention was completely focused.

Thanos rose and began building a thatched hut beside the villa himself. It seemed he intended to stay here for a while, becoming familiar with and strengthening his power.

Shen Mo also seemed to have no intention of leaving.

The two of them really were going to be neighbors for some time.

Thanos carried thick logs back from the forest piece by piece. The thatched hut was extremely crude but highly practical, with everything it needed. Thanos had even made much of the furniture himself. If anyone else saw him like this, they would certainly be astonished.

Because Thanos no longer looked like a tyrant.

Instead, he looked like an old man preparing for his retirement.

Yet he worked with great seriousness and meticulous care.

"Looks like the power of ninjas suits you very well." Shen Mo's voice suddenly drifted over lightly. "Endurance is the most important virtue of a ninja. No matter how unfortunate or difficult things become, you must endure and move step by step toward your goal."
