By the time Zhou Cheng arrived at the foot of the Tsuchikage Building, quite a crowd had gathered.
He could name most of them.
They were all well-known figures in Iwagakure.
"Quite a lively gathering."
"Where's Ōnoki?"
Their expressions changed when he addressed the Tsuchikage by name.
"Zhou Cheng, this isn't Konoha. You can't do whatever you please here."
Zhou Cheng's smile vanished. Who the hell do you think you are?
"I'm the same wherever I go!"
"Stop making such a racket. You're annoying!"
"Ōnoki invited me here this time."
Zhou Cheng didn't speak loudly, but amplified by chakra, his voice boomed like thunder.
"Who's making all that noise?"
An aged voice rang out from inside the Tsuchikage Building.
The corners of Zhou Cheng's mouth lifted. Here comes the man himself!
"You invited me here, then hid inside like a turtle retreating into its shell?"
"Iwagakure has quite a peculiar way of welcoming guests!"
Whoosh!
An uproar erupted beneath the Tsuchikage Building!
Zhou Cheng was the first person who had ever dared call Lord Tsuchikage a coward hiding in his shell!
The door to a room on the top floor of the Tsuchikage Building opened, and a short old man flew out.
Yes, he flew out, hovering in midair without any external support.
Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes. Dust Release!
"You're our guest!"
"Please, take a seat!"
Zhou Cheng smiled. Sit? Where?
This old bastard wants to embarrass me!
"Thank you!"
Zhou Cheng sat down just like that, despite having no chair behind him.
Halfway down, something supported him.
It was a chair made entirely of water.
Gasp!
Sharp intakes of breath sounded all around.
"Is that ninjutsu?"
"When did he perform hand seals?"
"Chair Ninjutsu?"
Ōnoki froze for a moment. Hand Seal-less Ninjutsu!
