"Why is your Water Release technique so powerful?"
"Aren't you a Konoha ninja? Why are you proficient in Water Release..."
Terumi Mei felt the pressure Gekko Chizan brought upon her; the surging waves told her exactly what true Water Release was.
She was originally a ninja proficient in Water Release techniques as well. Although young, she had always been very proud, relying on her own understanding of Water Release and the enhancement of her Kekkei Genkai.
But at this moment, her pride was completely shattered.
"Put away those conclusions you got from who knows where."
"Kirigakure specializes in Water Release? That just varies from person to person. Then why do the Seven Ninja Swordsmen specialize in swordsmanship instead of Water Release?"
"Sunagakure specializes in sand control techniques, but they have puppet masters in their village too."
"Your way of thinking is too behind the times."
Gekko Chizan slowly raised his hands. Under the control of chakra, another water giant was born from the waves.
Terumi Mei was already numb. The person in front of her was too terrifying. Although this was the seaside and there was an enhancement from borrowing the terrain's power, being able to release so many powerful ninjutsu at once was also a manifestation of his formidable strength.
"And who told you that I specialize in Water Release?"
"As Kekkei Genkai ninjas, the abilities bestowed upon us by our Kekkei Genkai are the most powerful and the most compatible with us."
"Just like this."
As his voice fell, Gekko Chizan pointed one hand toward the water giant beside him.
Crystal Release was activated instantly. The originally turbulent water giant was directly turned into a crystal statue, then it smashed straight into the sea, splashing up countless waves.
Kekkei Genkai...
Konoha's Ghost Gekko Chizan's Kekkei Genkai, Transparent Release and Crystal Release. Is this Crystal Release?
A ninjutsu that can turn everything into crystal.
Seeing this scene, Terumi Mei gritted her teeth, a fighting spirit igniting in her heart.
She was also a possessor of Kekkei Genkai, and she possessed two types of Kekkei Genkai as well. She had her own pride.
She would absolutely not be crushed by his imposing manner.
She knew deeply that if she were completely overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum at this moment, she would never have a chance to turn things around.
Her hands quickly formed hand seals, and seeing the seals she formed, a hint of joy flashed in Gekko Chizan's eyes.
As a senior movie fan in his previous life, he was familiar with many ninjas, including the ninjutsu Terumi Mei was about to use.
As the hand seals were completed, Terumi Mei's expression changed abruptly.
"Don't think I'll be scared."
"Lava Release! Melting Apparition Technique!"
Yellow liquid was instantly spat out from her mouth; this was an acid with viscosity and strong corrosiveness.
The acid struck the blue barrier, making a very piercing sound, followed immediately by a puff of white smoke rising.
Seeing this scene, Gekko Chizan nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, acid with super strong corrosiveness, very good!"
"However, apart from being able to form acid with these two attributes, you should be able to take another path with this jutsu, right?"
While maintaining the release of the jutsu, Terumi Mei revealed a trace of confusion.
Change the path? What does that mean?
Gekko Chizan smiled faintly and did not continue speaking. Instead, he flashed back to Terumi Mei's side.
"Alright, withdraw the ninjutsu."
"Continue on; what the Kekkei Genkai bestows upon us is our best weapon."
"Let's go, let's head back."
Hearing this, Terumi Mei stopped the release of the ninjutsu. Looking at Gekko Chizan, who had already turned and walked towards the town, she followed straight after him.
But soon she reacted.
"Wait, why should I follow you?"
"I haven't agreed to let you be my teacher yet!"
Although she said this, Terumi Mei still followed him.
After all, this is the Land of Frost; she is unfamiliar with the place and people. Right now, other than following Gekko Chizan, she has no other way.
As a result, just as they returned to the house, she heard Gekko Chizan deal her a heavy blow.
"Terumi Mei, for the next few days, you will live here by yourself."
"I will leave you a certain amount of money and daily necessities."
"As a ninja, independent survival is a very important lesson."
"You also know that I led a team to Kirigakure. I have to sign a contract tomorrow, so I won't be back for the next few days."
Terumi Mei: ".....I.... want to melt him."
Just as Gekko Chizan settled Terumi Mei's path for the next few days, the system's notification sound immediately rang out.
[Ding! Detected that the host abducted the future Fifth Mizukage from Kirigakure, used PUA and the honey trap stratagem to shake her will, and made her take the host as her teacher. This action is deeply liked by this system.]
[Special Reward: Six Paths Resistance 10%!]
Not bad, very not bad. It seems Terumi Mei has also accepted her fate. Very good.
Gekko Chizan was also very satisfied with the reward; after all, this is Six Paths Resistance.
It accumulates resistance for his future confrontation with Uchiha Madara. One must know that the Six Paths' techniques are too terrifying; as an ordinary person, he really can't do without some trump cards.
Now, the look in his eyes as he watched Terumi Mei was full of satisfaction.
However, Terumi Mei, who was worrying about herself, didn't see Gekko Chizan's gaze at all.
"Here, take this. This is your living expenses. Hmm, this is pocket money."
"I will only be back in a week. I hope you won't starve yourself to death."
Looking at the five thousand ryo Gekko Chizan handed over, Terumi Mei couldn't help but pout.
"Can I go back to the village to get my piggy bank back..."
"That was all my hard-earned money."
Gekko Chizan didn't pay any attention to her; he used Flying Thunder God and left directly.
Leaving Terumi Mei looking pitifully around the house, she then sighed helplessly and accepted her fate.
[Ding! Detected that the host is bullying the small, exploiting even his own disciple. Terumi Mei's piggy bank was clearly embezzled by you, Host.]
[That five thousand ryo was also taken from her piggy bank]
[But this spirit satisfies the system very much. Special Reward: Manipulating Wire Binding Formation and a bundle of super high-quality steel wire!]
What the hell? Gekko Chizan was a bit confused.
...
The sun rose. Kirigakure still couldn't see a bit of sunlight; the fog was even thicker than the previous day.
"Chizan, where did you go yesterday?"
"You didn't come back all night."
Yes, Gekko Chizan only came back this morning. For him, not sleeping for a night didn't count as anything at all.
Looking at Pakura's concerned gaze, Gekko Chizan smiled and shook his head.
His harvest last night could be considered quite bountiful.
He accepted a disciple and obtained the rewards he wanted, tsk tsk.
"It's nothing. I wandered around Kirigakure yesterday, then suddenly had some inspiration and went to practice a new ability."
"On the way back, I'll perform it for you."
"I can also teach you. I think this jutsu, for you, hmm, should be very useful."
Pakura's eyes immediately lit up. She didn't doubt Gekko Chizan's words at all; after all, Gekko Chizan's talent was known to everyone.
