[Cheap Trick]
[Ability: The Stand will attach itself to the user's back. The user must hide their back. Once their back is seen by someone else, it will trigger a fatal attack that penetrates through the back, and then Cheap Trick will transfer to the new person who saw it.]
The most useless, disgusting, hell-spawned Stand in the entire JoJo series.
No "one of", it IS the one.
Notorious B.I.G, although also from the underworld and requires the Stand user's death to activate, no one can deny the power of "Notorious B.I.G", the strongest panel with triple infinity stats.
As a sentient Stand, even though Cheap Trick activates by assassinating its previous host, it still has a fatal flaw it can't get around, and that is, on a battlefield, you can't be sure who has seen your back.
What if it's an ally?
So, after drawing Cheap Trick, Ryosuke didn't waste resources upgrading it, and he never once used it.
A true, bottom-of-the-chest trump card.
Until today, Ryosuke met the sniper, Uchiha Itachi.
Hovering a thousand meters high in the sky, the people on the ground shrank to tiny dots.
Ryosuke couldn't see them, and they couldn't see Ryosuke.
Only Amaterasu's black flames were still chasing relentlessly, proving Itachi was still staring at Ryosuke.
"You're still watching me, aren't you?"
Ryosuke looked downward, "Then watch a little more clearly."
The ugly little Cheap Trick appeared behind Ryosuke. It grabbed a piece of flesh and tore it off violently. A spray of blood burst out, and along with it, a huge portion of life energy disappeared.
After draining an entire person's worth of life energy, Cheap Trick let out a "gege" laugh, turned, and dove downward at extreme speed. Its unpleasant voice echoed in the air, "Thanks for the meal."
The scattered blood turned into butterflies and flew back to Ryosuke's back. The torn skin healed quietly.
"You're welcome."
———
Cheap Trick was extremely fast, one thousand meters vanished in an instant. Only the Sharingan's dynamic vision could see it.
Itachi saw the ugly creature grinning as it pounced, and he quickly shouted for Zetsu to relocate.
Zetsu was preparing to switch Pain's body, but hearing Itachi's shout, he had no choice but to stop and drag Itachi underground first.
They moved underground, relocating to an empty corner, and resurfaced.
"Injured?" Zetsu asked.
Itachi touched his chest, still in shock. The little monster was so fast, it almost touched him.
"I'm fine."
"How rude, calling me an ugly little monster."
A sharp, unpleasant voice sounded behind Itachi. Cheap Trick slowly peeked its head out from his shoulder, giggling,
"From now on, you're my Stand user."
Itachi drew a kunai and stabbed backward.
The kunai stabbed Cheap Trick's neck, at the same time, blood sprayed from Itachi's neck too.
"Itachi!"
Zetsu cried out and moved to look at Itachi's back.
"Don't come near! Don't look at my back!"
Itachi shouted anxiously.
After becoming Cheap Trick's user, he instinctively sensed the danger, if anyone looked at his back, something terrifying would happen.
But it was too late.
Kind-hearted Zetsu stretched his neck and got a clear look at Cheap Trick clinging to Itachi's back.
"keke!"
Cheap Trick let out a sinister laugh. It tore again, opening a huge, bone-deep wound in Itachi's back, blood pooling on the ground.
Cheap Trick leapt and landed onto Zetsu's back.
"W-What the hell is this thing?!"
Now possessing Cheap Trick, Zetsu felt a primal fear.
He backed up to the wall, terrified of letting anyone see his back. Suddenly...
BOOM!
The wall behind him exploded.
Zetsu turned his head and met a pair of eyes.
'Ryosuke!'
"Crap!"
Zetsu trembled all over, then a sharp agony, Cheap Trick had torn open his back.
He wanted to scream, but Ryosuke was right there. Zetsu held back his scream and tried to use Mayfly Technique to escape underground again.
'I absolutely cannot let Ryosuke catch me!'
It was the fastest he had ever moved, half his body was already underground, but unfortunately...
Time stopped.
Ryosuke first looked toward Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi's body faded and reappeared several meters away in a corner. His left eye turned gray, completely blind.
He had used his left eye to activate Izanagi, nullifying the fate of being killed by Cheap Trick.
"The left eye… Tsukuyomi."
From this moment, Itachi lost the ability to use genjutsu. Not only that, missing an eye would greatly weaken his Susanoo.
However, trading one eye for a life was worth it.
"Izanagi activated means, for the next few minutes, Itachi is in an 'immortal' state."
Confirming this, Ryosuke no longer paid attention to Itachi.
He was a science student, in Ryosuke's eyes, battles were simply a process of giving each other problems to solve.
Whoever solved the other's "problem" faster, or made a harder one, would win.
The battle in Kyoto was tangled and complex, layers of enemy setups and traps. Ryosuke had fought until now, peeling away the layers, and finally found the key entry point to solving the equation.
Zetsu.
As long as he died, Pain couldn't replenish the Six Paths bodies, and Itachi lost mobility.
Once Pain and Itachi lost their ability to restrain him, the remaining Daimyo ninja were nothing more than a tasty little matcha cupcake for Ryosuke.
"So, we start with you."
Ryosuke pointed at Zetsu.
Star Platinum's tall figure appeared.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
After a barrage of punches, it returned behind Ryosuke.
Time resumed.
Bang!
Itachi revived in the corner just in time to see White Zetsu shatter like a styrofoam box, his white body blown to pieces instantly.
Although Black Zetsu had no physical body, Star Platinum's fists carried Ryosuke's will. After being pummeled, large chunks of black goo scattered with the wind.
Losing White Zetsu's body, Black Zetsu lost its form and dropped to the ground like dirty phlegm, staring in disbelief.
"Not dead?"
Ryosuke was slightly surprised. But seeing its sticky form, it was probably immune to physical attacks.
"Killer Queen."
The pink cat-Stand appeared behind Ryosuke, arms crossed. Scarlet aura rose, exuding a terrifying pressure.
Killer Queen extended its finger and touched Black Zetsu.
"D-Don't kill me!"
"I can't die, I have very important things to do!"
Black Zetsu was the embodiment of Kaguya's will. His entire existence for thousands of years was to resurrect his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
After a millennium of effort, in this era, he finally saw hope…
If he died, his mother would never revive.
"Pain! Itachi! Save me! What are you doing?!"
But there was no response.
Not only no response, Itachi, taking advantage of his Izanagi invincibility, desperately backed away to keep distance from Ryosuke.
Of course.
Pain and Itachi, both were people who would sacrifice anything to achieve their goals.
They didn't even care about their own lives. Now that White Zetsu was dead, only a useless Black Zetsu remained. Why would they waste time and energy saving him in such a critical moment?
"Ryosuke, I really can't die, I surrender. If you spare me, I can tell you many secrets of the ninja world, I can even help you..."
Click!
Killer Queen pressed the switch.
BOOM!
A soul-shaking explosion erupted.
Black Zetsu was blown to ashes in an instant.
Ryosuke waved his hand, dispersing the drifting ashes, and said softly, "What kind of thing are you? So many people died today… and you think you don't get to die?"
Tactical core, Kaguya's child...
[Black Zetsu: dead.]
