"You'd better keep your utopia for your ideals. You're completely unworthy of it now!"
Takumi's cold words, like sharp thorns, deeply pierced Temujin's fragile heart.
"You!"
He flushed, retorting, "They didn't succeed because they definitely didn't have enough power!"
"We are different. We possess the power of the Gelel Stones. As long as we can obtain more Gelel Stones, we will definitely realize our dream and achieve the ultimate utopia!"
As soon as he said this,
Everyone's gaze towards him turned strange.
Konan's gaze, which had been on Takumi, also shifted to Temujin.
The confusion in her eyes seemed to ask: 'Do you know what real power is?'
Standing beside a top-tier combatant of the Shinobi World, Konan's confusion was normal.
After fighting with them, the young Konoha's Genin could also clearly see the strength of their enemies.
Compared to the truly strong people they knew... they simply couldn't compare, okay?
Shikamaru and the others simply couldn't put these people on the same level as Takumi.
The gap was just too vast.
"Do you think your power is strong?"
Takumi's expression turned gloomy. He was completely angered by Temujin's ignorance. "I'm in a bad mood right now. Gaara, leave them to me to handle. You absolutely must not intervene."
He specifically warned Gaara, who was the strongest besides him.
As for Konan, she wouldn't act rashly.
And Takumi noticed she was consciously hiding herself.
Probably, besides him, no one else present had even noticed her existence.
"As long as the problem is solved."
Gaara had a good sense of the big picture. He didn't necessarily have to kill the enemy himself. "This is consistent with my goal."
"That's good."
As soon as Takumi's words fell,
Everyone's vision blurred, and they found themselves suddenly outside the building.
Not only them, but also Temujin and the others.
"What is this?"
Haido was a bit surprised. "Space power? Quite ingenious."
He completely couldn't imagine that this was Takumi using supersonic speed to its limit, moving them all outside in an instant.
Even their positions were the same as inside.
Looking up, he saw the boy who had spoken so much just now holding Temujin by the collar and beating him wildly.
He was muttering something while beating him.
Anyway, he didn't care.
He only cared about the Gelel Stones.
As for the large number of enemies?
No matter how many, in his opinion, it didn't matter.
With the power of the Gelel Stones, he was invincible.
To obtain even greater power, he would pay any price.
Except for himself.
So, he didn't care about Temujin's life.
If he hadn't thought keeping him alive might be useful, Temujin would have already died in that ruin.
And Takumi, at this moment, was holding Temujin by the collar, lifting him up to his face.
One solid punch landed, not using full force, but enough to make Temujin lose the ability to resist.
"You fool who doesn't know how to cherish comrades!"
Bang!
"You idiot who can't distinguish right from wrong!!"
Bang!
"You moron who can't tell friend from foe!"
Bang!
"You... Huh? Passed out?"
Takumi shook him, found Temujin had rolled his eyes and wasn't responding, and threw him aside.
Then he looked at Haido and the three female knights, crooked his finger. "Your turn. Come on."
"The way Takumi-kun shows no mercy, even knowing he's a royal orphan, he still hits him just as hard."
The director said excitedly, "That's right! Even with that identity, if he does wrong, he needs to be taught a lesson!"
He glanced at Temujin on the ground. Seeing he was still breathing, he relaxed.
He had also been a bit worried Takumi might hit too hard.
After all, Takumi's performance just now looked very angry.
It was the first time he had seen it.
But it seemed Takumi still had very good control.
'Upright and aboveboard, righteous and awe-inspiring, this is my knight protecting me!'
Koyuki clasped her hands together in front of her chest, divine light shimmering in her eyes as she gazed intently at Takumi.
Ninety percent was genuine emotion, the remaining ten percent was for the camera beside her.
After all, she was still one of the leading actresses, even though her role had almost no scenes and just needed to look pretty.
"Director, I feel like Takumi-kun's words have a deeper meaning, right?"
The cameraman asked quietly. "I always feel like he's hinting at something."
"You didn't get it?"
The director looked at him with surprise. "That guy standing in the back with an unchanging expression, looking like he's wearing a mask, do you think he could be a good person?"
"Hmm, not really."
The cameraman observed carefully for a while and shook his head.
His own subordinate was getting beaten up over there, and he just stood there doing nothing, saying nothing.
It's really weird.
"What was his name again?"
The director pointed at Temujin, momentarily forgetting his name. "This royal orphan's brain is obviously not working. He must have been fooled by that guy."
"I see."
The cameraman said in realization. "I didn't expect Takumi-kun to see through it so quickly."
"Although Takumi-kun is still young, his insight is much sharper than ours."
The director sighed with emotion. "He's a Jonin of Konoha. He's seen who knows how much darkness in this world."
"We ordinary people simply can't imagine."
As he spoke, he looked at Takumi, his eyes full of admiration. "Even after witnessing so much darkness, he still longs for the light."
After beating Temujin up, Takumi felt much better.
But the battle wasn't over yet.
At least until the guy named Haido was dealt with, this mission wasn't completely finished.
"Who's next?"
Takumi raised his chin slightly, looking very proud.
He crooked his finger at them, full of provocation.
"Hmph!"
The most hot-tempered, Ranke, stepped forward directly. "You only knocked down a useless piece of trash. You're too pleased with yourself."
"Although your space ability is remarkable, you only moved us outside. It can't pose any threat to us at all!"
"Roar!"
She roared wildly, her whole body transforming into a fat blue gorilla.
"So ugly."
Sakura couldn't help complaining. "If I had the choice, I'd rather not have that kind of power."
Temari beside her nodded repeatedly.
Ranke's gorilla form was really too ugly.
And that big belly looked so abstract.
"Turn to dust under my power! Hahaha!"
After transforming, Ranke was undoubtedly much more agitated.
Countless lightning bolts erupted from her body, then merged back into her.
Her huge body possessed immense strength, combined with powerful lightning, making her destructiveness top-notch.
"Die!"
She suddenly reached out, and arm-thick lightning shot towards Takumi.
But Takumi merely reached out lightly, opening his palm.
The lightning disappeared upon reaching his hand.
As if absorbed by Takumi.
In fact, it was indeed absorbed by Takumi.
"So, so amazing..."
Naruto watched dumbfounded. When he, Kiba, and Shikamaru had chased her before, they had to be careful of her lightning attacks.
But with Takumi, he casually raised his hand and blocked it.
'When had the gap between me and Takumi become so vast?'
"Is this all you've got?"
Takumi smiled contemptuously, then aimed his palm at Ranke. Blue electric arcs appeared in the center of his palm.
'Oh no!'
Ranke immediately felt a great threat.
Even with her electric charge barrier, she felt her whole body tremble.
As if naked in the dead of winter, her skin felt obvious stinging.
This was her intuition warning her.
She instinctively wanted to flee.
But it was too late.
Almost instantly, a two-meter-wide thunderbolt engulfed her.
Both in speed and power, it far exceeded hers.
Her prized electric charge barrier couldn't block it at all.
The lightning flashed, and Ranke's whole body turned charred black.
Her eyes rolled, black smoke coming from her mouth. Her transformation automatically disappeared, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
