Kakashi stood frozen on the stage, book in hand; Make-Out Paradise had been his eighteenth birthday gift.
Why did Zhou Cheng have a copy too?
The kid was only in his teens, yet he was already reading this kind of stuff?
He cast a strange look at Zhou Cheng before casually flipping through the pages.
The next instant, his eyes widened in shock!
How could this be? The content was completely different from the published version.
It was even more intense, even more X-rated!
Good heavens, just look at these two!
Kakashi swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming with the light every man gets when he lays eyes on such things.
Zhou Cheng's lips curled upward; this was a product of the System, after all—the content was far beyond what that peeping-tom Jiraiya could ever imagine!
"How about it? Are you satisfied with the reward?"
Kakashi finally snapped back to reality, let out an "ah," and hurriedly tucked the book into his bag.
He glanced left and right, letting out a sigh of relief only after confirming that no one had seen the contents of the book.
Right now, he just wanted to go home and study this book properly in private!
"Why is it a book again?"
"Is it another powerful ninjutsu?"
"Lord Kakashi, could you let us know what's in the book?"
The crowd beneath the arena was going crazy!
A high-tier blind box yielded a book?
Everyone knew that even the food items from high-tier blind boxes possessed special effects.
That book must be something incredible!
It must record some kind of powerful ninjutsu!
Kakashi felt a bit awkward; there was no way he was letting them see it!
A book like this was meant to be enjoyed alone!
Zhou Cheng's smile was wider than an AK's recoil; no man could resist this!
"Do you like it?"
Kakashi nodded. Obviously!
"That was just the first volume. I have the entire set!"
Kakashi snapped his head up, his eyes round as saucers!
That was just the first volume, and there was a whole set?
My god!
A fanatical light erupted in his eyes!
"Um, could you lend me a look?"
Zhou Cheng smiled, and it was a radiant sight!
"Why not?"
Kakashi grinned, his eyes crinkling into slits!
"But I have one condition!"
Kakashi's expression shifted instantly, though he wasn't angry; for the sake of this set, doing a few things wasn't out of the question!
"My condition is for you to attack me with everything you've got!"
The crowd below the arena was going insane listening to their conversation!
What was going on?
They understood every single word, but put together, they had no idea what the two were talking about!
"I get it, that book must be some kind of combination ninjutsu!"
"It must be an incredibly powerful one!"
"Otherwise, given Kakashi's strength and status, he wouldn't react like this over just a book!"
The crowd nodded in agreement!
Itachi and Shisui wore expressions that said, as expected!
Just what kind of ninjutsu could it be?
They really wanted to see it!
Kakashi nodded; for the sake of the complete book set, he would give it his all!
"Then begin your second attack!"
He opened his right palm, and lightning-style chakra appeared within it once again!
The crackling sound spread throughout the entire arena!
Everyone's expression changed!
This kind of chakra!
It was different from before!
"Lightning Style: Lightning Blade!"
A lightning-style technique even more powerful than the Chidori gathered in his palm.
Many people let out cries of alarm!
"This is his trump card!"
"An S-rank ninjutsu, Lightning Blade!"
Kakashi had already pulled up the forehead protector covering his left eye; his left eye was now in the Three-Tomoe Sharingan state!
He rushed toward Zhou Cheng at high speed, and wherever he passed, the arena was scorched with a long, charred trail by the lightning style.
"Zhou Cheng is finished!"
"Lightning Blade can be considered one of the most powerful single-target ninjutsu!"
"With this hit, he'll be dead or at least severely injured!"
Itachi and Shisui took a few shocked steps forward, their mouths wide open.
An S-rank lightning-style technique? Does it require the coordination of the Sharingan to unleash its maximum power?
Watching the lightning in Kakashi's palm and feeling the immense chakra upon it.
The two stood frozen on the spot!
He truly lived up to the name of a man who became a jonin at twelve years old!
How would Senior Zhou Cheng handle this?
Zhou Cheng stood motionless, a calm smile still on his face.
The Lightning Blade struck Zhou Cheng's chest with a crackling sound.
A dull thud echoed out, making everyone's scalp tingle.
This move could easily pierce through a person's body.
Countless strong warriors had died under this blue lightning.
Kakashi felt that his palm had not pierced through any flesh, and he looked up in astonishment to see his hand pressed against Zhou Cheng's chest.
The lightning vanished, and Zhou Cheng was completely unharmed; not even his clothes were damaged.
Hiss!
Gasps erupted all around.
This was simply too outrageous!
It wasn't that Kakashi's move couldn't be defended against, but it required a massive amount of earth-style or other defensive ninjutsu to resist.
Yet who would have thought that Zhou Cheng would use his bare flesh, without any defense at all, to take this move head-on.
Even a jonin would surely die.
But he was completely unscathed!
Kakashi jumped back to create distance, watching Zhou Cheng with the vigilance one would show a formidable enemy!
Was he even human?
A monster!
A set of numbers floated above Zhou Cheng's head.
-26458.
[Damage dealt: 26,458 points] [Shield remaining HP: 9,999,999,852,527] [Damage grade: Purple] [Reward obtained: Purple Blind Box]
Zhou Cheng raised an eyebrow; not bad, the highest damage so far!
"Not bad, the highest damage so far!"
"It's a pity, it still can't kill me!"
"Can't you use a little more strength?"
As these words fell, the entire arena fell silent!
An S-rank ninjutsu, and it still wasn't powerful enough?
Damn it, are you a masochist?
Even if you have a death wish, you don't have to provoke people like this!
Itachi and Shisui wore expressions that said "as expected"; a senior is truly a senior!
Even an attack like that couldn't hurt him!
In their hearts, Zhou Cheng's strength became even more terrifying.
Kakashi widened his eyes, unable to calm the shock in his heart for a long time.
What kind of strength does he actually possess?
Kage-level? Beyond Kage?
That was my strongest offensive ninjutsu aside from Kamui, yet it couldn't even tear his clothes!
The way Kakashi looked at Zhou Cheng changed as well.
It was no longer questioning, but rather placing him on the same level as himself.
"Kakashi, this is your reward!"
A Purple Blind Box appeared in Zhou Cheng's hand, which he tossed toward Kakashi.
Kakashi's eyes lit up as he remembered the book in his bag, recalling the racy content and illustrations within.
He couldn't help but swallow, his throat letting out a gulping sound.
He glanced at Zhou Cheng and cautiously opened the blind box.
Although the crowd beneath the arena couldn't see inside the box, they couldn't help but crane their necks to look toward the stage.
Inside the box sat a fruit the size of an egg.
[Large Chakra Fruit x1] [A fruit containing pure chakra; consuming it increases one's chakra reserves.] [Host triggered a critical hit reward, obtaining a Super Giant Chakra Fruit.]
Kakashi picked up the fruit from the box, his eyes filled with inexplicable excitement.
He had seen this kind of fruit before; people earlier had opened them.
Eating it could increase one's chakra reserves.
And what he lacked most was chakra.
He first took a cautious, small bite; it tasted sweet and was unexpectedly delicious.
He took another bite, savoring it carefully, his eyes narrowing into slits.
Then, he tossed the rest of the fruit into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
A few seconds later, a massive surge of warmth flooded into his limbs and bones.
Then, his chakra reserves began to grow rapidly.
He calculated it carefully; the amount gained was equivalent to about half a year of training.
Moreover, Kakashi could feel that this growth was unrestricted and had no side effects.
In other words, if someone's chakra reserves were stuck for some reason and unable to grow further, eating this fruit would allow them to break through instantly.
Kakashi looked up abruptly, staring fixedly at Zhou Cheng.
A fruit like this was a peerless treasure!
Yet he could just casually give it away to others?
