Rumble~~~~
As the castle collapsed.
Two figures burst out from the ruins.
It was Doto and Fubuki.
Takumi raised an eyebrow and said to Fubuki, "I usually don't lay hands on women. Surrender if you don't want to die."
Fubuki was momentarily stunned, glancing quickly at Doto, a flash of anger in her eyes.
Then, without hesitation, she stepped aside, raising her hands high. "I surrender! Don't hurt me!"
"You!"
Doto glared at her furiously.
'Damn, that was fast!'
'No struggle at all, just surrendered!'
But under Takumi's watchful gaze, left alone, he didn't dare make any rash moves.
Koyuki stepped forward. She looked at Doto and realized the man who had killed her father was just an ordinary person, capable of fear and terror, not the invincible demon of her memories.
"Why? Uncle? Why did you do this?"
Koyuki questioned softly. "Why did you kill Father?"
"Why?"
When Doto heard her words, the fear in his heart was temporarily suppressed, replaced by rising anger.
"Just because he was the elder brother, he could become the ruler of the Land of Snow!"
"Just because he was the elder brother, he could possess the secret treasure of the Land of Snow!"
"I couldn't accept it! I was clearly more outstanding than him, yet I always had to be beneath him!"
"I couldn't accept it!"
Doto was like an enraged beast, his eyes bloodshot with fury, looking at Koyuki as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Takumi and Kakashi, hearing his roar, frowned slightly.
'Wow, jealousy because the other was the elder brother?'
'We really should have Hyuga Hiashi come give you a lesson.'
"Is that so?"
Infinite sorrow welled up in Koyuki's heart. "Just for those reasons, you killed your own brother?"
"Is this what you wanted?"
Koyuki took out the Hexagonal Crystal. Doto's eyes immediately fixated on it.
"Just for this thing, you killed my father?"
Koyuki gritted her teeth and was about to snap it in half.
At that moment, a hand stopped her.
"Don't, don't, don't break it. Do you want to destroy your father's dream?"
"What?"
Koyuki looked at Takumi in a daze.
She was confused, not understanding what Takumi was saying.
Takumi opened his mouth, about to explain.
But Doto on the other side was already shouting excitedly, "Quick! Give it to me now!"
Doto tore off his tattered clothes, revealing his Chakra Armor.
"Do you know what this is?"
Takumi looked at Doto with amusement.
Doto at this point still didn't know what the Hexagonal Crystal represented.
If he knew that what he had pursued for years, even going so far as to kill his own brother for, was actually just a heater...
That scene would be quite delightful.
"Of course I know! It's the key to the secret treasure of the Kazahana Clan! I must have it!"
Doto's face was full of madness. "Quick! Hand it over! Or else I'll..."
"You'll what?"
Takumi shook his head, then looked at him with a pitying gaze as if looking at an idiot. "You know what? Actually, this thing is just the activation key for a heater."
"H-heater?"
Doto was taken aback, then roared, "What kind of joke are you making! What do you, an outsider, know?!"
"That is the secret treasure of the Kazahana Clan! The treasure that will let me conquer the entire Shinobi World!"
Doto was furious, feeling his intelligence had been insulted.
He quickly formed hand seals.
"Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!"
Black ice transformed into a dragon shape, roaring towards them.
"Tsk, I told you the truth and you still don't believe it."
Takumi shook his head.
Then he pulled Koyuki behind him, stepping forward to face Doto's attack.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing Takumi try to withstand his attack with his body, Doto immediately showed an excited expression.
This was his ultimate move, amplified by the Chakra Armor!
Trying to block it with the body was pure wishful thinking!
However,
The black ice dragon he placed such high hopes on didn't even get close to Takumi's body before gradually melting, evaporating, and disappearing.
"In this environment, feeling such a warm breeze is truly a pleasure."
Kakashi closed his eyes, feeling the gentle warm breeze.
Seeing Doto's attack melt away, he knew there was no need to worry about Takumi.
The others felt the same.
The immense strength Takumi had displayed was enough for them to relax and watch the upcoming battle.
"Hurry up and film! Focus on Takumi!"
The film crew was completely exhilarated. They even forgot this was on-location shooting!
Everything was real people, real fighting!
Carelessness could really cost lives!
"This is impossible!"
Doto's eyes widened in rage.
His proud technique couldn't harm Takumi in the slightest!
He refused to believe it!
"Black Dragon Blizzard!"
He continuously formed seals and launched attacks.
But all attacks, upon nearing Takumi, turned into scalding steam, dissipating before his eyes.
Takumi let go of Koyuki's hand and slowly walked towards Doto.
Step by step, slow but steady.
Doto continued his frantic attacks, not caring that the chakra within him was rapidly depleting.
"Damn it! Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard!"
Watching Takumi approach step by step, his attacks not only failing to hurt him but even being unable to stop him?!
Doto's mind was slowly breaking down!
"Why?!"
"Why are you so strong?!"
"Why are you stopping me?!"
Doto's eyes were bloodshot as he poured all his remaining chakra into the two black ice dragons.
The black dragons were immense, carrying an intimidating pressure as they charged down!
But even being this powerful, they still couldn't avoid the fate of being melted.
"Finished? Then it's my turn."
Takumi's steps were firm, one footstep after another.
But this time, with each footprint he left, the snow on the ground rapidly melted and evaporated, revealing the color of the earth.
And this area expanded bit by bit… faster and faster with Takumi's steps.
When Takumi stood three steps away from Doto, the surrounding snow had completely melted.
Takumi stopped, simply looking at him.
Doto felt his mouth parched, his vision gradually growing blurry, strength leaving his body.
"What did you do?! Is it a Genjutsu?!"
"Or poison?!"
"I'm so thirsty..."
Doto's spirit quickly crumbled and disintegrated.
In the eyes of the others, Doto's body visibly withered at a rapid pace.
Moisture rapidly left his body, evaporating.
In just a few seconds, the once burly Doto turned into a shriveled corpse.
Takumi waved his hand, turning him into a pile of dust.
He was dead.
Roasted alive!
Although this scene was cruel, considering everything Doto had done, the others couldn't really say much.
Though Hinata and the others involuntarily turned their heads, unable to bear the cruel sight.
"Thank you."
Koyuki stepped forward, actively taking Takumi's hand.
She looked at the dried-up corpse of Doto with a complex expression, but ultimately felt a sense of release.
She turned to Takumi, her eyes filled with gratitude, and a bit of shyness.
She still remembered the bet with Takumi.
"Alright, from now on, no one will hunt you anymore."
Takumi grasped her slender hand in return, smiling slightly.
"Mmm... Right, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
Koyuki shyly lowered her head, then suddenly remembered something, looking up curiously.
"Want to know? Then come with me."
