Chapter 106: Going into Seclusion Again
After obtaining the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, Li Jiexuan decisively tore open the Demonic Ice Mirrors scroll.
The familiar wave of dizziness washed over him, and Li Jiexuan's consciousness was once again dragged into an unknowable world…
Vast white snow blanketed the land. The frozen surface of a lake reflected a cold, glimmering light. On the lakeshore, one large figure and one small figure were locked in a fierce battle…
"White, you need to focus more on attacking my vital points!"
In Zabuza's hands, the terrifying Executioner's Blade tore through the air like a missile, violently ripping apart the atmosphere and kicking up a storm of flying snow…
"Yes, Lord Zabuza!"
A childish voice came from beneath the small white mask. Despite his young age, haku did not fall behind Zabuza in their fight at all.
Ice needles relentlessly shot toward Zabuza's critical acupuncture points. As long as even one needle hit, the battle would be over!
But as the fight grew more intense, Zabuza's speed steadily increased, and it became harder and harder for haku to find an opening to strike…
"haku, stop aiming for vital points—attack me directly!" Zabuza roared as he swung his blade at haku.
He wanted to awaken haku's killing intent. As a ninja, lacking the will to kill was far from enough!
"Lord Zabuza, I… I can't kill people."
Haku clenched his teeth in pain, desperately dodging the Executioner's Blade. Even as the ice needles in his hand melted away, he still refused to use them to kill Zabuza.
"If you don't kill me, I'll kill you!"
Zabuza brought his blade down in a vicious strike toward haku. This blow was delivered with Zabuza's full strength!
If Haku still didn't fight back, this strike might truly kill him!
Yet even so, Haku still refused to act, only shaking his head in anguish. "I can't attack you, Lord Zabuza. I don't want to kill anyone!"
The painful memories of his childhood made Haku unable to bring himself to kill again—but this also became the greatest obstacle preventing him from truly becoming a ninja…
In this world, there were no ninjas who did not kill.
"If only I could hide inside those ice mirrors…" Looking at the calm, rippleless ice beneath him, Haku couldn't help murmuring to himself. "Ice Release—Demonic Ice Mirrors!"
Nearly a hundred ice mirrors rose into the air. Haku's body transformed and entered the mirrors, moving at high speed through reflections across hundreds of ice surfaces…
Just because he didn't want to kill, he had forced himself to create such a technique—hiding within mirrors, endlessly shuttling back and forth, evading slaughter.
"Haku!"
Zabuza stared in shock, then his expression softened. "If you truly don't want to kill, then forget it…"
Even if you are a ninja who cannot kill, I will stay with you forever!
Demonic Ice Mirrors…
Li Jiexuan slowly withdrew from the illusion. The A-rank Demonic Ice Mirrors had already been quietly mastered.
Unlike Lightning Blade, this A-rank Demonic Ice Mirrors could be cast with ease by Li Jiexuan at his current level.
After learning Demonic Ice Mirrors, Li Jiexuan's strength had increased by quite a margin. But this level of power was still far from enough to save Senju Tobirama in front of the Gold and Silver Brothers!
At this point, the rewards for killing Kakuzu left only one thing…
"Kage-tier Treasure Chest!"
The gold-colored chest symbolizing wealth was dazzling to behold. On the large coin-shaped clasp in the center of the chest were four blood-red characters: Everlasting as Heaven and Earth!
"Gulp…"
Li Jiexuan couldn't help swallowing hard. As expected of the gold-devouring monster—just looking at Kakuzu's treasure chest was enough to make one drool.
"Open!"
Brilliant light flashed, and Li Jiexuan's luck reached an unprecedented explosive peak.
"Ding…"
System upgrade patch: Bloodline Fusion System.
"Ding…"
Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique.
"Ding…"
Beginner Hokage Training Scroll.
One single chest dropped three items at once. The Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique needed no explanation—Kakuzu's title as an immortal ninja owed at least fifty percent of its reputation to this technique.
The Beginner Hokage Training Scroll also left Li Jiexuan extremely satisfied. Only this Bloodline Fusion System felt a little puzzling…
"Place three bloodlines into the Bloodline Fusion System to randomly generate a brand-new bloodline."
Li Jiexuan couldn't help curling his lips. This thing was exactly like the fusion systems from the games in his previous life—the scammy vibe was identical.
They called it random, but any idiot knew the truth: three trash bloodlines in exchange for one brand-new trash bloodline.
In short—it was completely useless!
That said, he had no use for the fusion system right now anyway. After all, the only Kekkei Genkai he possessed was Ice Release.
Which meant he was left with only one choice!
"Yizhen, find an inn. I'm going into seclusion for a bit!" Li Jiexuan grinned lightly. "This might be long or short, but within five days, I'll definitely be back!"
"Going into seclusion again?"
Hyuga Yizhen couldn't help curling his lip. "Last time, you went into seclusion for one day and killed the Kazekage. This time it's five days—are you planning to destroy the entire ninja world?"
