I'm in a Hurry
Chapter 105 I'm in a Hurry "?!"
The Tailed Beast-transformed arm flew out with the force of inertia, and a look of astonishment appeared in Shukaku's amber eyes.
It wasn't the feeling of being attacked, but rather that after being touched by the blade, the Chakra materialized and extended outward, instantly losing all sensation.
"Da!"
Lin Ke landed, glanced at the already unconscious Rock Lee, looked up at the Tailed Beast-transformed Gaara, and dashed forward.
Tailed Beast transformation was too destructive, and his unconscious companion probably couldn't withstand any area-of-effect skills. Going straight for the source was the most straightforward solution.
So fast!
The thought flashed through Gaara's mind, and he subconsciously tried to control his body to dodge, but he was a step too slow. The guy had already rushed at him.
"Whoosh!" A claw slammed down, a flash of a blade, and he lost another claw.
No, this guy is too strong, I have to...
Gaara's thoughts hadn't finished when his Tailed Beast-transformed head was directly split open, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
The materialized Chakra clearly possessed extremely high mass and hardness, but under that blade, it seemed to not exist at all.
"!"
Gaara's original body looked up at Lin Ke, who was descending from the sky, his hands about to form the seals for the Feigned Sleep Technique.
"Boom!" Before he could even react, a kick sent him flying backward, smashing into a large pit.
"Pa!" The Sand Shield fell to the ground with a crash.
Gaara was embedded in the pit, the Sand Armor on his skin peeling off piece by piece. He looked at Lin Ke, who had become extremely tall and strong before him, his tone filled with endless bewilderment.
"Why..."
"Whoosh~" After the original body was struck heavily and nearly lost consciousness, the Tailed Beast transformation couldn't continue and turned into sand dust on the ground.
Gaara fell straight down, seemingly without any reaction as he was about to hit the ground, until Lin Ke grabbed him. The sand that had automatically gathered below in an attempt to protect him quietly dispersed.
"Why..." he asked blankly.
There were too many things that he couldn't understand at all. Since graduating this year, things had been happening one after another, and his mind was increasingly unable to process them.
He originally thought that as long as he killed those he couldn't understand, and made hatred and slaughter the ending, he could solve everything.
But when he couldn't solve things with force, everything seemed to be tied in a knot.
What were they fighting for? And what was making him so miserable?
"Let go of Gaara!" Temari and Kankuro arrived, and the atmosphere became tense again.
"You can come at me together." Lin Ke glanced at Rock Lee again. His breathing was getting weak. He couldn't really use the Summoning Jutsu to return a disciple to Guy Teacher, could he?
"I'm in a hurry."
Kankuro's face showed anger. "You dare to underestimate me!" He waved his hand, and the Crow puppet stepped forward.
There was no other way. They both knew that getting close to the opponent was basically the end, even Orochimaru couldn't resist.
And the puppeteer had no other means.
"Swoosh!"
He disappeared! Temari opened her fan, wary of an opponent who might get close at any moment, while also guarding against the shadows under her feet and any possible sudden ranged attacks.
This guy has too many tricks and is too troublesome... What?!
"Checkmate." Lin Ke held Gaara in one hand and Rock Lee in the other, watching his Stand, Set God, successfully capture the two.
"Whoosh~" The Crow puppet, no longer controlled by Chakra threads, scattered on the ground.
"What is this?!" Temari and Kankuro's bodies regressed to the size of two-year-olds the moment their shadows were touched by Set God's shadow. As their brains degenerated, thinking became a problem, and their memories faded.
Set God's ability was too abnormal. Its shadow could regress opponents regardless of any conditions as long as it touched their shadows.
Even if the Stand was essentially a ninjutsu, activating the ability required Chakra, but this unreasonable ninjutsu was still the ultimate first-encounter kill.
Facing two opponents who were completely inferior to him in speed, Lin Ke only needed to quickly close the distance to secure victory.
'Too bad it can't be preserved long-term, otherwise...' He thought with regret, laying Rock Lee flat and using Chakra to probe his body's condition.
Honestly, it wasn't optimistic.
His entire body was severely overdrawn, with multiple fractures and muscle damage. Such injuries...
Lin Ke first released Chakra to simply treat the failing heart and lungs, then gathered a large amount of Chakra and released a Mystical Palm Technique.
Even if it was extracting 'minor' ailments, with the support of the overwhelmingly powerful Chakra, it could still achieve quite miraculous effects.
'The Stand has only a few seconds left, Third Hokage, I hope you've already resolved it...' — "Pfft!"
Watching the bright, shiny staff break through the defense of Quicksand Gold, the Fourth Kazekage—Rasa's expression was slightly bewildered.
The younger version of the Third Hokage had resolved the two Hokage resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation in forty seconds. First, he suppressed them with Ninjutsu, then engaged in close combat. His powerful Taijutsu, combined with hand seals and techniques that were completely incomprehensible, dispelled the charms inside the resurrected Hokage's heads, and then the two living sacrifices were revealed.
It was likely that Orochimaru had dispelled the technique.
The problem was that, in resolving the two Hokage of Impure World Reincarnation, he had completed the entire process while withstanding his attacks.
'The Konoha Crush Plan that I decided to join... what even is that?'
Rasa couldn't help but be bewildered. It felt like, even though they were both Kage, how could he win so easily against three opponents and completely ignore his attacks?
'It might be better to just die like this,' he inexplicably felt relieved.
The pressure brought to him by becoming Kazekage far outweighed the excitement and honor. The increasingly declining village, the economy supported by his own strength, the distrust of the Daimyo and nobles...
It could be said that, for the sake of the village, he sacrificed everything, yet still couldn't stop the village from sliding into the abyss.
He was very tired. The feeling of carrying everyone forward was an unprecedented pain, so after Orochimaru proposed the Konoha Crush Plan, he should have, as Kage, stopped everyone from making such a desperate decision.
In the end, he did nothing.
Orochimaru's crushing defeat by the Konoha Village brat made him much more sober. Before setting off, he resolved to bear the responsibility of the Kage one last time. Death was his best destination.
Faced with the powerful and heavy attack, Rasa did not resist or evade, but quietly closed his eyes.
'As long as I die, everything will end, right?'
"What are you still waiting for?" A somewhat old and familiar voice rang out in front of him.
Rasa slowly opened his eyes, and the rejuvenated Third Hokage was standing in front of him again, the staff resting against his chest without attacking.
"Why... don't you kill me?"
