"When did he say he'd read the Scroll of Seals?"
Danzo was utterly stunned.
If Zhou Cheng had read the Scroll of Seals, that meant he had already learned some forbidden techniques.
Someone like that was far too dangerous.
Only now did he realize that he could never kill Zhou Cheng on his own.
Zhou Cheng moved through the school like a shark, slitting a shinobi's throat wherever he went.
In just two minutes, six shinobi had died at his hands.
Outside the water sphere, Danzo's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
