Chapter 50 - Goodbye For Now And a Promise For Later (1/2)
Evening, the previous day.
Just before Mesa had left to spend the night with Cang Yue.
['JARVIS, can you access the shop and get me training manual from Tsunade Senju, from the Naruto Universe, on how to efficiently manipulate one's own chakra, or Profound Energy in this case and her Strength of a Hundred Seal jutsu.']
[”Very well sir, the cost Strength of a Hundred Seal jutsu is 50,000 system credits and the cost of her training is 5,000 system credits for a total of 55,000 system credits.”]
And so Mesa felt the information about the Strength of a Hundred Seal jutsu and Tsunade Senju's training manual flow into his head.
'Good. With this, Cang Yue can get much stronger and fend for herself in times of my absence.' Thought Mesa to himself and right after this he teleported to spend the night with Cang Yue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the present.
Mesa had made Cang Yue close her eyes and he placed his hand on her forehead.
['Alright JARVIS, transfer the Strength of a Hundred Seal jutsu and Tsunade Senju's training manual to Cang Yue.']
[”Very well sir, the cost for transferring the Strength of a Hundred Seal and Tsunade Senju's training manual will come out at a total of 1,000,000 system credits.”]
And so the information about the Strength of a Hundred Seal and Tsunade Senju's training manual were transferred into Cang Yue's head. After it was over, Cang Yue opened her eyes and looked at Mesa in shock.
”Strength of a Hundred Seal, what is this? What did you just give me?” asked Cang Yue hesitantly.
”It's a special Profound Technique. It requires very delicate manipulation of your own Profound Energy. The gist is, that instead of having your Profound Energy spread out across your body, you concentrate it in one spot, like your fist. This way the density of your Profound Energy in that spot will be much greater and thus immensely increase your own physical strength. The Strength of a Hundred Seal is the pinnacle of Profound Energy manipulation. It requires you to store your own Profound Energy in one spot, usually the forehead, continuously over a long period of time. If you have mastered it, the seal will form on your forehead. From that point on, your physical strength will soar to great heights and when you release the seal, your strength will be even greater than before. This way you can fight those who have a higher level of strength than you because you hit them with attacks that have a far greater density of Profound Energy than normal.” Said Mesa.
”But why would you give this to me?” asked Cang Yue.
”Because I want you to be stronger. I won't be by your side every minute of every day. During those times, I want you to be strong so you can defend yourself and others around you.” Said Mesa.
Listening to Mesa, Cang Yue was filled with determination. She knew he was right; he couldn't be by her side every minute of every day. During those times she had to rely on herself and Mesa has just given her the means with which she can defend herself and those around her. Looking him straight in the eyes, Mesa could see she was filled with the determination to get stronger and be able to fend for herself.
”Thank you Mesa, I truly appreciate everything you have done. And I promise, the next time we see each other, I will be much stronger than before. By the way, when will you come back?” asked Cang Yue.
”Don't wait up for me. I will see you at the Tournament itself.” Said Mesa
”Why?! Why don't you come back and we can go to the tournament together?” asked Cang Yue.
”Because I need to make an entrance the likes of which have never been seen before. Write my name down as the first contestant, I don't care if others join to represent the Imperial Family but I will come no matter what. And when you're at the tournament, make sure you keep an eye out for my grand entrance. It will truly be one of a kind. So, this will be goodbye for now. And remember what you promised me?” Said Mesa with a smile.
”Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. When we see each other at the tournament, I will be much stronger than before. So, goodbye for now and I will see you at the tournament.” Said Cang Yue with a smile before they parted ways and Mesa walked away to the Palace entrance.
Walking out of the Palace, it was already late in the afternoon. Mesa was walking towards the Blue Wind Profound Palace when he felt two people following him. Instead of worrying about anything, he just smiled.
'Well, guess Murong Yi still sent those idiots after me to try and kill me. Oh well, guess I shouldn't disappoint these guys and flee towards safety. Besides, I wanna have some fun with them myself.' Thought Mesa to himself with a smirk of excitement on his face.
And so he made a sudden turn and started walking east. For hours he just kept walking east at a leisurely pace to keep his pursuers close by. During the early hours of the evening, just as the sun was setting, he reached an open field, devoid of any human activity.
”Alright! You can come out now, both of you!” Yelled out Mesa as he turned around and looked in the direction of his pursuers. A minutes later, two people showed themselves. One was dressed in black and was looking at Mesa as he was dead man walking. The other one was dressed in white and was laughing like a maniac when he showed himself. This guy turned out to be Feng Baiyi.
”Hahahahaha... Uchiha Mesa, I must truly thank you. I was worried all day, trying to find a place to kill you without a trace. But here you are, you have led us to this fine place that will be your grave yourself. And for that, I am truly grateful.” Said Feng Baiyi with a malevolent smile on his face.
'I can still feel two other people around. Chu Yuechan and some other guy. Probably the bodyguard for these two morons. Ohh well, I can handle all of them, no need for Chu Yuechan to come out.' Thought Mesa to himself.
”You are right, this a fine place for a grave. Just not mine, but yours.” Said Mesa as he looked at them.
”Well guess I should call these a dead man's final words. Xuelang, kill him!” ordered Feng Baiyi to the guy in black.
