Zhou Cheng waved a hand with a smile. You're still too green to fight me.
"Getting sweaty, little bro?"
"Don't fall for me. I'm just a legend!"
Tsunade gave him an enormous eye roll.
He was acting crazy all day long.
But those words meant something entirely different to Ino and Karin.
Wasn't their dear Cheng Zhou a legend?
And how could anyone not fall for a legend?
Their eyes were filled with adoration as they looked at Zhou Cheng!
Their stares left Zhou Cheng feeling awkward. Damn it, I should've kept my mouth shut!
He was so embarrassed he could have dug out a two-bedroom apartment with his toes.
"Ahem, if you're not convinced, we can find some time to spar!"
"As for your Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's new abilities, whether you share them is entirely up to you!"
"They're your trump cards for staying alive. It's best not to tell even me."
Deep gratitude appeared in Itachi's eyes. It had been so very long since someone had trusted him like this!
Sasuke's gaze softened too.
He always thought of others in everything he did.
He was a good Boss!
Even Sasuke himself hadn't realized that, deep down, he had long since accepted Zhou Cheng as his one and only Boss.
Feelings like that weren't measured by strength.
With the surgery a complete success, everyone dispersed!
When they walked out of the ANBU headquarters, a crowd surged toward them.
They all wanted to know the results!
"The surgery was a great success. I believe Konoha will have two more top-tier fighters before long!"
"If the Three Great Shinobi Villages want to attack us again, let them come!"
"Yeah!"
A tremendous cheer rang out, soaring into the sky!
It prompted repeated eye rolls from the ANBU.
*What a bunch of lunatics.
