Hinata nodded gently.
" Brother Zhang Yu definitely didn't Hand Seals."
Tayuya sat beside him, her gaze fixed on Zhang Yu.
She had initially thought that the power she had witnessed last night was already extraordinary enough.
It's only now that we realize that the Ninjutsu Zhang Yu casually unleashed is not something ordinary ninjas can withstand.
Above the ice.
Kimimaro has returned to his original location.
He gripped the bone spikes and smashed them relentlessly against the ice.
Bang!
A piece of ice broke off from the bone spur.
Bang!
Another shallow mark.
He chiseled for five or six minutes straight before he had dug down about a meter.
The entire ice layer is a full twenty meters thick.
Below the ice, Zhang Yu was still chatting with five girls.
Above the ice, Kimimaro bent his head and began chiseling away at the ice.
Each impact produced a sound that made Ino smile.
"He hasn't given up yet?"
I look up at it Tenten.
"At this rate, it will take him a very long time to dig."
Zhang Yu looked at the blurry figure above his head.
Do you think I've won?
"Of course."
Ino the first to nod.
He can't even get close to you.
Sakura also said:
"And you only used your right hand the whole time."
Tenten pointed to the ice layer.
"We sat downstairs chatting while he dug a hole upstairs."
"This isn't a win. What would constitute a win?"
Hinata said softly:
" Brother Zhang Yu won."
Tayuya nodded in agreement.
"I admit it."
Zhang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
"No one is allowed to leave during that one-month summer job."
Ino gave a soft hum.
"Free it is then."
Sakura said:
"A bet's a bet."
I'll go too.
"I have no objection."
Tenten agreed very readily.
Hinata and Tayuya also made a promise.
Zhang Yu stood up.
Hold me tight.
"Let's get out of here first."
Five girls surrounded him.
A flash of black light.
The group disappeared beneath the ice and reappeared atop a large tree in the distance.
Zhang Yu said:
You stay here.
"I'll go check on how his digging is going."
He activated the Flying Thunder God and arrived directly above the ice.
Kimimaro was still bent over, chiseling away at the ice.
Zhang Yu Earth Flow behind him silently.
"Aren't you tired after digging for so long?"
Kimimaro's body stiffened.
He turned abruptly, thrusting the bone spike in his hand toward Zhang Yu's chest.
puff!
Bone spurs pierced Zhang Yu's body.
But there was no sensation of touch.
Kimimaro pierced through the air like a needle.
He looked up and met Zhang Yu's eyes.
Within his scarlet pupils, three Tomoe slowly rotated.
Kimimaro was stunned.
Sharingan?
"Are you from the Uchiha Clan?"
Just then, a series of whooshing sounds came from the woods.
Yamato arrived with his pursuit team.
Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Neji, and Rock Lee landed one after another at the edge of the ice.
Everyone stopped in their tracks as they looked at the hundreds of meters of ice before them.
Ya crouched down, touched the ice surface, and immediately withdrew his hand.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
Neji activated his Byakugan.
There are no enemies beneath the ice.
" Kimimaro is ahead."
Rock Lee has already assumed a fighting stance.
" Boss Zhang Yu, we're here to help you!"
"Need not."
Zhang Yu stepped aside.
He handed it over to Yamato.
Yamato nodded and led the others to surround Kimimaro.
The battle broke out again.
Kimimaro the Cursed Seal of Earth, and the Shikotsumyaku was activated in succession.
Yamato used Wood Release to restrict his movement.
Neji searches for acupoints.
Rock Lee launched a frontal attack.
Others assisted from the sidelines.
Ten minutes later, Kimimaro was completely trapped.
He forced himself to exhaust his last bit of life force and slammed his hands onto the ice.
" Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Early Fern!"
Countless bone spikes burst forth from the ice.
Large skeletal remains rose from the ground.
Kimimaro's body was also affected by the backlash from the technique.
He stood in the middle of the bone forest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then collapsed forward.
Bang.
Kimimaro never rose again.
Yamato confirmed that he was dead and immediately ran to Zhang Yu's side.
" Boss Zhang Yu, what's the next step?"
"Take everyone back to Konoha."
Zhang Yu looked in the direction of the Valley of the End.
"I'll go after Naruto alone."
Sakura quickly said:
"We can go together too."
"Unnecessary."
"I'll handle the rest myself."
Zhang Yu looked at Hinata, Tenten, Ino, and Tayuya.
"You all go back with Yamato."
Although Ino was somewhat reluctant, she nodded nonetheless.
"Then come back soon."
Sakura also said:
"Once you find Naruto, don't let him get hurt."
Tayuya grabbed Zhang Yu's sleeve.
"I'm not leaving."
"I am your maid."
"A maid should naturally follow her master."
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"You'll only hold me back if you follow me now."
Tayuya tighter.
"Then I won't leave either."
I promised I'd follow you from now on.
Zhang Yu tried to persuade her, Tayuya still refused to let go.
He turned to look at Hinata and Tenten.
"It's up to you now."
Hinata paused for a moment.
How to do it?
"Resolve it by force."
Tayuya's expression changed.
" Zhang Yu, you can't do this!"
Her Cursed Seal of Earth has been lifted.
My current strength is reduced to Genin endurance.
Hinata sealed the pressure points on her arm.
He supported her from the other side Tenten.
Tayuya struggled a few times, but couldn't shake off the two of them at all.
"Let me go!"
"I'm a maid!"
"I want to go with him!"
Zhang Yu waved his Yamato.
"Send her to the Undead Tavern."
"Please explain the situation to Tsunade for me."
Yamato nodded seriously.
"Clear."
Tayuya was Hinata and Tenten.
She kept looking back, calling out as she went.
Zhang Yu!
"You just wait!"
"I will never go with them again!"
The others also gradually evacuated.
Only after the last figure disappeared into the woods did Zhang Yu stretch his shoulders.
He raised his right hand.
Space swirls and folds around the body.
Kamui activated.
The next second, Zhang Yu appeared on top of the statue of Madara Uchiha.
He gazed at the two Taiseki in front of him and said softly:
"This is the Valley of the End." The Valley of the End.
Two giant stone statues stand facing each other across the waterfall.
On the left is Hashirama Senju.
The one on the right is Madara Uchiha.
This area was originally just a waterfall canyon.
After the Warring States period ended, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces to establish Konoha, and later generations erected stone statues of the two here.
Zhang Yu was standing on top of the statue of Madara Uchiha at that moment.
He glanced down.
The waterfall plunges into the valley, its sound carrying far.
"The location is correct."
Zhang Yu opened the Tavern Chat Group.
Zhang Yu: "@All members, I have arrived at the Valley of the End."
Madara: "We've arrived."
Hashirama: "I'm ready too!"
Tobirama: "We can begin at any time."
Izuna: "I'm with Madara."
Indra: "Take your place."
Asura: "Boss, hurry up and call us over!"
Hagoromo: "I have emptied my mind."
Hamura: "I'm ready too."
Zhang Yu glanced at the replies and immediately raised his right hand.
"Then come over here, everyone."
