Ye Feng walked toward Jigen with a contemptuous expression, but deep down, he was extremely cautious. He did not know whether Jigen was putting on an act too. More importantly, given the Ōtsutsuki Clan's disposition, he should not have waited so obediently to be searched.
Yet even when Ye Feng reached him, Jigen showed no intention of attacking.
So Ye Feng made a show of searching him, checking the entire front of Jigen's body and genuinely finding nothing.
Then Ye Feng put on a look of disgust, moved behind Jigen, and pretended to continue searching his back.
At that moment, Ye Feng's expression changed. A faint white light flickered over his right hand. His eyes fixed on Jigen, and he thrust his hand at him.
But just then, a palm suddenly appeared, blocking the path of Ye Feng's hand.
Ye Feng was not surprised. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and his right hand continued thrusting straight ahead.
With a wet puncture, Ye Feng's hand pierced straight through Jigen's palm and continued toward his lower back.
Jigen's expression changed drastically. Disregarding his injured palm, he immediately darted away, but the price was that his right palm tore straight down the middle, dripping blood.
Even now, however, Jigen remained expressionless. He glanced at his injured right hand, then looked up at Ye Feng.
"You're no ordinary ninja. Your power could actually pierce my palm, and it seems I was your target all along. You actually managed to fool me."
Ye Feng dropped the act and chuckled.
"Looks like my acting was pretty good. Since I managed to hurt you, putting on that performance with you wasn't a waste."
Jigen remained expressionless, but chakra appeared over his torn palm, and his hand began healing at a speed visible to the naked
