ACSP: Chapter 19: Simplified Flying Raijin Slash, Power That Transcends the Six Paths!
Chen Zhentian pondered for a moment, and in the end, he still dismissed his own guess.
In his eyes, Jiang Chen was just a newcomer who had just completed the contract ritual.
The other party might have some extraordinary points.
But it was absolutely impossible for him to be the Fourth Elder Chen's opponent.
The person who assassinated the Fourth Elder Chen must be someone else.
Regarding the Fourth Elder Chen's death, Chen Zhentian did not choose to hide it.
Quite the opposite.
The very next morning, he had someone release the news that the Fourth Elder Chen had been assassinated.
This caused everyone in Jinghai City to fall into a state of panic.
The Chen family was the leading force in Jinghai City.
Their Fourth Elder being assassinated, and dying at home to boot, was no small matter.
Many people felt that the City Lord's Mansion was about to go to war with the Chen Family.
Because in Jinghai City, the only power capable of taking action against the Chen Family was likely only the City Lord's Mansion.
In response, many families recalled their clansmen who were out and prepared to close their doors for a while to see how the situation developed.
After all, whether it was the Chen Family or the City Lord's Mansion, neither was an existence they could afford to provoke.
...
At this moment.
The City Lord's Office.
City Lord Li Hongfei was also surprised for a long time after learning that the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family had been assassinated.
He didn't expect that such a major event would happen in Jinghai City just after he went back for a night's sleep.
He really wanted to go and clarify things with Chen Zhentian in person, to state that the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was definitely not killed by anyone from their City Lord's Mansion.
But if he did that, it would be equivalent to telling everyone in Jinghai City that their City Lord's Mansion was afraid of the Chen Family.
This was something he absolutely could not accept.
"Damn it, this Chen Zhentian is clearly trying to use Fourth Elder Chen's death to put pressure on us."
City Lord Li Hongfei was anxious, but for a moment he couldn't think of a better way and could only stand there in a fret.
At this time, a manager from the City Lord's Mansion suddenly stepped forward.
He spoke with righteous indignation, "City Lord, ever since that Chen Chuxi contracted a Shadow-level powerhouse, the Chen Family has been expanding its power externally. I think they definitely want to take action against our City Lord's Mansion this time. If we don't want to be annexed by the Chen Family, there is only one path to take, and that is to fight them to the death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other managers also began to discuss among themselves.
Some felt that going to war head-on with the Chen Family was a very unwise decision.
Setting aside whether their City Lord's Mansion could even defeat the Chen Family.
Even if they won, they would certainly suffer heavy losses.
At that time, if the other families in Jinghai City reaped the benefits of the conflict.
They would still have to give up their dominant position in Jinghai City.
However, some people felt that instead of waiting for the Chen Family to gradually grow stronger, it would be better to have a showdown with them now.
A desperate last stand might still offer a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, once the Chen Family's Kage-level Contractor grew up, they might not even have a chance to resist.
Both sides held their own opinions, and no one could convince the other.
City Lord Li Hongfei listened to their arguments, feeling increasingly annoyed.
He frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally, he could only make a compromise decision.
That was to wait and see how things developed.
...
At the same time.
Inside the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Chen was standing in front of several wooden posts, constantly practicing the throwing of Shuriken and Kunai.
After these two actual combat duels with Chen Feng and the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family, he had already grasped a truth of combat.
At the same time, he also understood the combat style of that old fox Senju Tobirama.
Extreme speed combined with unexpected attacks could produce a 1+1 > 2 effect when facing enemies stronger than oneself.
To this end, he specifically developed a simplified version of the Flying Raijin Slash.
The method was actually very simple: first use a Shadow Clone to transform into a Shuriken or Kunai, and then mix it with other Shuriken and Kunai to throw at the target.
Then, at the moment the opponent dodged or parried, release the Transformation Technique at the fastest speed to launch a surprise attack.
Of course, if the original body was mixed among those Shuriken, the effect would be even better.
After all, a Shadow Clone disappears upon contact.
Whereas the original body could do much more.
He had been practicing this combat technique all morning, and now he had it down by heart.
"But a knockoff is ultimately just a knockoff. There is no Flying Thunder God Technique in the Naruto and Sasuke skill templates. If I can encounter a Flying Thunder God skill scroll next time, I must find a way to get it."
Jiang Chen picked up the Shuriken and Kunai scattered on the ground, thinking silently to himself.
He knew better than anyone how strong the Otsutsuki Clan was.
Relying solely on the strength of Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke would certainly not be enough to contend with those people.
The most reliable method was to further enhance his strength by practicing other high-level Ninjutsu on the basis of the Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke's strength.
After all, the Six Paths was only the peak combat power of the Ninja World.
But for the Otsutsuki Clan.
The Six Paths were just sons.
Only by obtaining power that transcended the Six Paths could he contend with the Otsutsuki Clan in the future.
In addition to this.
He also had to establish his own power.
At least he had to form a team where every member's strength was above the Shadow-level.
One person's strength is limited.
For some things, one must have helpers.
"There are still two years left. I don't know if it's still in time."
...
Just as Jiang Chen was lost in thought.
The door to the training room was suddenly opened, and Li Yanran ran in hurriedly.
"Jiang Chen, so you're here. I've finally found you."
Jiang Chen turned to look at Li Yanran: "Do you need something from me?"
"Yes, a major event has happened in our Jinghai City."
Li Yanran must have run too fast just now; she was still panting heavily, her chest heaving violently. "Do you know? Last night, the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was assassinated in his own home."
A strange look appeared on Jiang Chen's face: "Besides this, is there anything else?"
Li Yanran was slightly stunned: "No, isn't this matter big enough? That's the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family! A level 63 Jonin Contractor was killed in his home. Aren't you surprised at all?"
"What's there to be surprised about? A Jonin Contractor is also a person, and if they're a person, they can be killed."
"Huh?"
Li Yanran was stunned again.
Looking at Jiang Chen's calm and unruffled expression, a terrifying thought couldn't help but surface in her mind.
"Jiang Chen, that Fourth Elder of the Chen Family... couldn't have been killed by you, right?"
"Yeah, I killed him."
Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, his tone still as calm as usual, as if he were talking about something trivial.
However, upon hearing this, Li Yanran's eyes widened instantly.
"Jiang Chen, you're joking with me, right? That Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was a level 63 Jonin Contractor, and he died in his own home..."
"So?"
"So? So you really killed him?"
Li Yanran looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, her mind going blank.
Jiang Chen curled his lips into a smile: "What? Is it only allowed for him to send people to kill me, and I'm not allowed to kill him?"
