475 Scourge of the Ninja World
🕑 Added 2025-12-15 06:00:08 +0000 UTCGekko Chizan stared at the two brats in front of him, furious that they still hadn't learned a thing. He couldn't understand it—if it were just Obito acting like this, fine.
But how could even Uchiha Shisui be this reckless?
Did they have any idea where they were right now? How could they talk so carelessly in a place like this?
That punch he threw had actually used a bit of strength, and now the two brats were clutching their heads and wailing in pain.
Gekko Chizan ignored them and bit open his finger.
"Summoning Technique."
With a burst of chakra, five dark-brown snakes appeared on the floor.
"Hissss…"
"Go. Check the surroundings of this room. If anything seems off, notify me immediately. After that, take positions on each side."
The five small snakes immediately slithered toward the edges of the building.
Gekko Chizan knew very well how troublesome the daimyo's residence was right now.
All five snakes were rattlesnakes, able to send him messages through specific vibrations.
Soon, he received five sound signals, all reporting that things were safe.
Only then did he look back at the two young Uchiha.
"You two… did you forget where we are?"
"This is the daimyo's residence! Do you really not understand the current relationship between the daimyo and the village?"
"You just say whatever you want—what did I teach you in class?"
"Uh… Shisui, I guess you didn't take my class. You went straight to the battlefield."
"But Obito—you did attend my classes, you little brat!"
Seeing Gekko Chizan raise his hand as if ready to hit him again, Uchiha Obito quickly backed away.
"Sensei, I was wrong!"
His sincere tone satisfied Gekko Chizan enough, and then he turned his gaze to Uchiha Shisui.
That fierce look made Shisui shiver violently. He quickly blurted out:
"Captain Chizan, I know I was wrong! It won't happen again!"
"Again? So you want there to be a next time?"
"No. Clearly you still need some discipline!"
"Ninja Taijutsu Secret Art!"
The familiar Tiger hand seal appeared. Obito almost bolted the moment he saw it—until he remembered: the target wasn't him.
A second later, he moved immediately, grabbing Shisui and stopping him from escaping.
"Shisui, this is our teacher's loving guidance. How can you run?"
"Damn it, Uchiha Obito, you—!"
Shisui's combat instincts and danger sense were outstanding, and the instant he saw Gekko Chizan form the Tiger seal, he knew something terrible was coming.
But it was too late. Obito's hand locked onto him like an iron clamp, leaving him without the slightest room to resist.
He suddenly realized—Obito's grip was ridiculously strong. He couldn't break free at all.
"Hmph. Obito has trained taijutsu with Chen and Might Guy's family. His physique far surpasses yours."
"A ninja doesn't rely solely on ninjutsu or Genjutsu to become strong. Taijutsu can do the same."
Gekko Chizan was already behind Shisui.
One Thousand Years of Death—activated!
"AAAHHH!!!"
Pain. Pure, indescribable pain.
Gekko Chizan hadn't used any enhancement—this was just the basic One Thousand Years of Death. But One Thousand Years of Death was One Thousand Years of Death. The weak point it targeted was simply too brutal.
Uchiha Obito was trembling just from witnessing the strike.
There were no words to describe that kind of agony.
[Ding! Sensed that the host and Uchiha Obito performed One Thousand Years of Death on Uchiha Shisui, adding a massive new fear to Uchiha Shisui.]
[Special Reward: Genjutsu Resistance Boost!]
[Ding! After two Genjutsu Resistance enhancements, the host can now directly nullify all Genjutsu below B-rank.]
Hm? Genjutsu Resistance Boost?
But he had used One Thousand Years of Death on Shisui—shouldn't the technique get an enhancement?
This damned system… getting stingier by the day.
[Nonsense! Do you want the reward or not?]
[Keep whining and I'll take it back!]
Alright, now even the system was getting temperamental.
Not wanting to argue, Gekko Chizan shut up and looked at Shisui, who was squatting on the floor, sweating like steamed buns in a pot.
"Shisui, remember this. As a ninja, you must stay alert at all times."
"Even a moment of carelessness leads to situations like today."
"Here. Take this. Once the pain fades, go patrol with Obito."
He tossed out a small medicine bottle—special painkillers he had gotten from Orochimaru.
Obito took it, and fed Shisui a pill.
The medicine worked well. Shisui, who had been suffering horribly, recovered after a short while.
"Let's go, Shisui. Time to patrol."
"…Yeah…"
Even though the pain had faded, the moment Shisui saw Gekko Chizan again, he still trembled.
Whoever invented that technique was a monster.
"Don't look at me. This technique was invented by Konoha's pillar, White Fang—Hatake Sakumo."
"If you want to learn it, I can teach you."
Shisui was speechless.
Why could strong ninja always invent such bizarre things?
Learn it? No thanks. This technique…
The two kids left the residence to patrol around the daimyo's mansion, while Gekko Chizan created a clone—his real body had already left using Flying Thunder God.
He trusted Obito and Shisui. This was the daimyo's residence—unless the daimyo himself got involved, the two were perfectly safe.
With Chōmei supplying chakra, Gekko Chizan teleported straight to the Land of Frost to relax.
After all, nothing beat soaking in a hot spring while snowflakes fell around you.
Meanwhile, on the other side of his lodging—
Kazuma was leading several colleagues to meet Masaki.
"Kazuma, Gekko Chizan has arrived at the daimyo's residence."
"You know your mission."
"After dinner tonight, find an opportunity to test him."
Kazuma nodded, but before he could speak, Hiyakke behind him couldn't hold back.
"Let me do it. I'll go find him and challenge him!"
"I've wanted to test him for a long time."
Masaki nodded approvingly. It didn't matter who acted—so long as someone did.
"But remember not to go overboard. The daimyo likes Gekko Chizan very much."
"If he joins us, that would be ideal."
"Understood?"
Masaki's words left the group a bit displeased. After all, they were all powerful ninja.
These days, anyone with strength had pride. Konoha's Twin Stars? Hmph. Until they fight, who knows how strong he really is?
"Understood, Masaki-sama."
"But I'm curious—are you really confident he'll join the daimyo's forces?"
