Chapter 25 Chrysanthemums
The blazing flames engulfed Batirami.
Allen abruptly stopped his high-speed spin, rising higher as he stepped on the air, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.
Anticipating that he would eventually need to form hand seals, he has never stopped training his hand speed over the years.
Unfortunately, hand speed alone is not enough; effective hand seals also require precise chakra control. With Allen's current chakra control, five hand seals per second is already his limit.

As the last seal fell, Allen roared.
"Ice Release: Six-Staff Ice Prison!"
There's no need to shout out the use of ninjutsu, but...
Don't you shout when you play a bomb?
……
brush brush --
With the hottest point of the flames as the origin, six enormous ice pillars rise from the sea.
The icicle tilts inward the instant it is formed and spreads out of the ice mirror, forming a closed hexagonal cage.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
The flames were trapped in the narrow space by the ice wall, turning into a crimson vortex that continuously scorched the inner wall. The combined pressure of ice and fire caused the air to emit a low rumble.
Interspersed among them were Batirami's screams, which, as time went on, were compressed into low moans by the alternating torment of ice and fire.
"Close the door to beat the dog, set fire to the cage"—a tactic that never goes out of style.
……
Allen retreated to the bear's side, naturally sitting down on his shoulder, breathing lightly.
The bear stretched out its paw: "If you're tired, I can pat it off for you."
The terrifying aspect of the Paw-Paw Fruit's power is that it can swatt away not only physical objects, but also intangible things like fatigue and injuries.
If it were someone else, they might ask Allen why he has those strange abilities, but Kuma isn't the type to pry into other people's secrets.
……
Shaking his head, Allen stared at Batirami, who was tumbling through the ice prison and sea of fire: "It's just that he overused his abilities a bit, it's nothing serious."
The normal way for ninjas to fight is to gather intelligence and set up tactical traps, and then seek a fatal blow when they see an opening, rather than unleashing a few wide-range ninjutsu right away.
Different worlds require different tactics. The glass cannons that are suitable for dealing with ninjas are not effective against the people of this world.
A strong physique provides more room for error; if the strength difference is not significant, winning will basically depend on a protracted battle.
……
……
Peng! ! ! !
A loud explosion echoed across the sea as Batirami's massive body shattered the ice prison, his body covered in burns, some still burning, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
"What a... monstrous body."
Allen observed Battirami's physical condition as his Sharingan's tomoe swirled, and couldn't help but sigh.
This guy had lost 80-90% of his strength in the battle with the bear and was almost at the bear's kill threshold.
That's why he tried to get close to the bear and mentally delay its offensive.
……
Even so, Allen's strongest physical attack methods were still not enough to defeat him.
The entire attack only lowered his already severely injured kill threshold slightly.
The Makkabaka tribe, who are only of giant blood, are already this strong.
A five-year-old who single-handedly defeated a giant, Big Mom known as the "Iron Balloon," and Kaido, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air—how thick must their health bars be...?
Right now... I'm still too far from being one of the top experts on the high seas.
……
……
A person's mindset and personality are greatly influenced by their physical condition. The simplest example is that when you are not in good health, you will not be in a good mood.
The Uchiha bloodline will certainly affect Allen, for example, his arrogance.
This doesn't mean Allen was possessed, but rather that his body, soul, bloodline, experiences, and knowledge together constitute who he is today.
After receiving the reward and experiencing an instant boost in strength, Allen made the mistake that all Uchiha... or more precisely, the vast majority of them would make.
I've already upgraded it, so it would be so uncomfortable if I didn't show it off and use it!
……
However, compared to a certain Sunny Helper, he still had some self-awareness.
As the squishiest damage dealer present, if you manage to finish off the enemy without them dying, quickly return to your team's carry.
Ignoring the flames burning on his body and his increasingly serious injuries, Batirami did not choose to flee, but instead actively approached the bear.
He looked at Allen and continued to ask.
"Lord Losolo... how is he?"
……
"He's dead."
Allen spoke indifferently.
"His name is Batirami, right? I heard what you said."
"Since you think serving the Celestial Dragons is so glorious, why don't you commit suicide to join your master?"
"Or... do you actually know very well that you don't want to be loyal to the Celestial Dragons at all, and you're just hypnotizing yourself to survive?"
"In my hometown, there's a professional term for this, something like syndrome, which refers to the victim developing emotional identification with the perpetrator under extreme circumstances."
"I don't mean to criticize you; it's just a biological survival instinct."
Allen chuckled and reached out, watching Battirami approach, his eyes gleaming with a chilling power.
"Give in to your instincts once again; there's nothing shameful about it."
"Submit to me, for the sake of our fallen comrades, for the sake of a future of freedom."
tread……
tread……
Batirami got closer and closer.
Big Bear looked at him with complicated emotions, and finally sighed softly.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Battirami.
Not only because of his kind nature, but also because... this might be the last member of his clan.
Even if he killed Ginny, even if he...
It's impossible, it's simply impossible.
If Battillami can repent and turn over a new leaf, Big Bear is willing to forgive him.
……
It's very close.
Less than ten meters.
Batirami raised his head, and a bright smile appeared on his hideous face.
"Mr. Allen, wasn't this the new name you chose for me...?"
"chrysanthemum."
"Pure and beautiful loyalty, do you know that Lord Losolo has never called me by my name in all these years?"
"He called me seventeen times in just two days."
"Perhaps you're right... but I don't want to choose again, it's enough..."
"To wither away like a chrysanthemum is the best possible ending."
Click—
In an instant, bones cracked!
Batirami seemed to transform into a black lightning bolt, converging everything into his fist as he fiercely attacked Allen!
Allen seemed not to have reacted, his face remaining calm.
"don't want!!"
Big Bear roared and instinctively pushed with his palm, sending a powerful shockwave crashing into Batirami.
boom!!!
A blinding white light engulfed him.
……
……
As the light faded, Batirami's body fell like a blade of grass in the stillness of the earth.
Big Bear stepped forward and caught his mangled body, feeling the life force gradually dissipating. His hands trembled, and his emotions were too complex to describe in words.
He could forgive Batirami, but he wouldn't say he regretted it...
That's not right...
My first thought should have been to protect Mr. Allen and send him flying, so why did I use a shockwave...?
"I influenced your judgment."
On the bear's shoulder, Allen spoke softly, the crimson in his eyes fading.
Just now... he interfered with Kuma using his Sharingan.
