"Yeeart—!"
"Yeeart—!"
Without any superfluous words, a fierce exchange of Karate unfolded between Laomoto Khan and Ninja Slayer.
The moment they made contact, Laomoto Khan sensed something was amiss. His opponent's Karate power had increased by a massive margin, already nearly on par with his own!
What exactly happened in these few minutes? You are a ninja, not a Saiyan; how can you recover from heavy injuries and boost your combat power?
The answer is Cursed Energy · Karate. David possesses the Cursed Energy seed given by Schwarzer, which he had been unable to utilize until now. With Naraku's assistance, it is completely different.
Ninja Slayer's right eye opened wide; that grotesque, mismatched eye posture was unexpectedly capable in a fight—that was Naraku possessing his body!
This body is currently controlled by two individuals. David, who possesses extraordinary talent in Karate and became a True Ninja in a one-month crash course, and Naraku, who knows the intelligence of almost all ninja Cursed Techniques. How could they possibly be defeated?
"Laomoto=san, allow me to perform kaishaku for you. Your ambition for the Soukaiya to occupy the city is truly too laughable! Yeeart!"
"Silence! If not for the inexplicable decline of ninjas, how could such an absurd thing as mortals leading the city exist! Yeeart!"
Amidst the fierce Karate exchange, both sides had worked up a fire, attacking each other's fists with their faces, their heads knocked askew in a perfect mirror image.
What Laomoto Khan voiced was naturally the heartfelt sentiment of most ninjas. The development of human technology was so rapid that it completely exceeded common logic.
However, the most critical point was the inexplicable decline of ninjas. Ninja Slayer had killed almost every ninja who had ever seen him, which led to his lack of renown despite his subsequent appearances.
Killing everyone who sees you is also a way to hide your identity!
In such a pure exchange of Karate, theoretically, Laomoto Khan, with his higher purity, should have the upper hand, and Ninja Slayer should have suffered more severe injuries.
However, Tea Ceremony Breathing! Just by taking a few breaths, Ninja Slayer seemed to recover. The injuries were still there, of course, but they no longer had a major impact.
"Such powerful recovery ability. What exactly is the Ninja Soul inside you? A guy from the Dragon Clan?"
Laomoto Khan quickly realized the opponent's ability. That was the Tea Ceremony Breathing Technique, derived from the teachings of Katsu Wan Soh, the powerful Tea Ceremony of the Dragon Ninja lineage.
This technique had long been lost. Even he had spent a vast amount of energy to restore only a fraction of the Tea Ceremony. The degraded Tea Ceremony Breathing was one of his trump cards.
"For that kind of thing, wait until I send you back to Kinkaku, then ask them yourself! Yeeart!"
The so-called returning to Kinkaku was something only Ninja Souls could do. Laomoto=san was obviously not a True Ninja, so this was merely trash talk.
What Ninja Slayer knew was merely a semi-finished product realized from the Tea Ceremony. His talent was higher than Laomoto's, but it was impossible to truly restore the authentic Tea Ceremony Breathing Technique just like that.
The true trump card was actually—Cursed Energy · Karate!
Hatred burned continuously. Borrowing the Cursed Energy seed within David's body, it converted into Cursed Energy, subsequently activating the permanent 'Cursed Technique' on Ninja Slayer.
Under Naraku's personal guidance, he was now the true Ninja Slayer. Possessing Cursed Energy · Karate, he was an existence capable of surviving the encirclement of multiple ninjas like Death Ninja and Extinction Ninja!
'If this continues, I will instead be dragged into an endless war of attrition.'
Laomoto Khan quickly realized the change in the battle situation and decided to alter his strategy.
[Damage Absorption Stance]
The power of the Pain Clan activated. He assumed the stance simultaneously with Ninja Slayer's attack, then met Ninja Slayer's fist head-on.
'Stop! David!' Naraku's voice shouted in his brain, subsequently controlling his body to halt.
'Have you forgotten? That is the power of a Pain Clan ninja; you cannot attack hard and fast directly!'
'Then what should I do?'
'Use shuriken to sever his pain nerves. As long as there is no source of pain, his Cursed Technique cannot activate.'
Naraku, serving as intelligence support, played his due role. Ninja Slayer instantly retracted his fist, performed a backflip, and then a triple backflip in mid-air. While creating distance, he threw three shurikens!
"Guwah!"
"How is this possible!"
Laomoto Khan did not know how many times he had questioned this tonight. Why were his abilities being deciphered so quickly?
The shurikens accurately hit the pain nerves in his arm. While causing massive damage, they brought him very little pain, preventing him from harvesting power.
The Damage Absorption Stance was broken, and Scorpion · Karate was also quite useless. Facing a strong enemy, among the seven Ninja Souls in his body, not many could play an effective role.
It was a pity that although he had achieved the magnificent feat of fusing multiple Ninja Souls, Laomoto Khan could not utilize the power of multiple Ninja Souls simultaneously. He could only use them one by one; otherwise, his strength would have become even more terrifying.
Facing the oncoming Ninja Slayer once again, his choice was—Giantification!
The most unpretentious and most practical ability: pure stat reinforcement!
"Yeeart!"
The gigantic fist brought the sound of a sonic boom. Laomoto's entire fist was now larger than Ninja Slayer himself. If hit by this strike, he would likely be heavily injured again.
Sandevistan · Jutsu activated. Ninja Slayer performed a backward bridge, successfully dodging the attack. He then kicked upward, followed the momentum into a backflip, and once again threw shurikens, hitting Laomoto's armpit and waist.
'You cannot engage in close-quarters combat with a guy using a Giant Clan Ninja Soul. Do you remember how we dealt with Earthquake=san?'
Receiving Naraku's reminder, Ninja Slayer performed another triple backflip to widen the distance. As if triggering a passive ability, he followed up with a triple shuriken throw.
Laomoto could only reach out to block in front of his face, letting the shurikens pierce into his arm.
"You've been tricked!"
Laomoto Khan was not angered by Ninja Slayer's targeting; instead, he mocked them.
There were a total of seven Ninja Souls in his body. However, six of them were merely 'Clan' rank. Only one was an 'Arch'—a Warrior Ninja. And the power brought by this Ninja Soul was...
"Take this! Karate Missile!"
Converting the Karate within his body into balls of light, he shot them at his opponent like meteors. Every single shot of the Karate Missile was equivalent to a full-power straight punch from Laomoto Khan.
He seized the timing perfectly. Ninja Slayer had just activated the Sandevistan and fallen into cooldown. Moreover, the distance between the two was just right for him to safely conduct a ranged attack.
'Truly careless. I didn't expect such an existence to exist in the modern era.'
For the first time, Naraku felt a gap in his intelligence. He indeed had never seen someone who could use the powers of multiple Ninja Souls, and not just two—Laomoto had already displayed four.
Carrying intense light and heat, the missiles flew like meteors, striking toward the Ninja Slayer not far away. At this distance, there was almost no possibility of evasion...
"Guwah—"
