Kesshiki had invaded the Ninja Star last time. After being captured, he could only forcibly activate Body Burning Karma, sacrificing a life to return.
His Resurrection Technique left him greatly weakened. Although two years had passed since this invasion began,
he had yet to fully recover. But Yōshiki said he was coming, so Kesshiki had no choice but to follow.
The Ninja World already knew Kesshiki's abilities, and his strength was relatively weak.
He was probably only a little stronger than Kinshiki.
So someone had already quietly approached him.
To be precise, there was a Water Pit underground along Kesshiki's path.
A Water Person suddenly sprang up and lunged at Kesshiki.
It was Suigetsu and Mangetsu. The two had merged once more into a single Water Person.
Kesshiki snorted coldly, and something like a crimson tide seemed to surge through the corners of his eyes.
A faint red aura clung to his hands and feet.
Then he met Suigetsu and Mangetsu head-on, trading a solid punch with them.
Though Suigetsu and Mangetsu had attacked first, they were clearly weaker than Kesshiki.
Aside from the first punch landing, all their remaining attacks failed.
After taking three punches and a kick from Kesshiki, the Water Person was sent flying.
It crashed through countless walls and chunks of stone.
Yet there was no joy on Kesshiki's face. He watched the Water Person crawl out from the rubble in confusion.
"Tough Hydrification?"
Though Kesshiki's attacks had all connected and his eye power had indeed diminished, but...
There was no blood in the opponent's body.
That meant his eye technique was completely ineffective. Sending them flying had been purely physical.
But Kesshiki could clearly feel that it was as though he had struck rubber.
Rather than being punched away, the opponent had been bounced away.
