Naruto : Sequence 0 Visionary

Bang!

Frost, furious beyond belief, threw an expensive crystal cup, shattering it against the wall. His eyes wide with anger, he growled, "Who gave you permission to act on your own?!"

Just a moment ago, he received news.

A group of Death Servitors had invaded the hotel and, without making a sound, kidnapped Xia Mi and Chen Mo Tong.

He thought for a moment and immediately figured out who was behind this.

Besides the two yellow-robed priests sent by the bishop to assist him, who else could control so many Death Servitors in plain sight and kidnap two high-ranking officers?

"The bishop told you to assist me!"

Frost felt his authority was being challenged. He glared at the person in front of him, gritting his teeth. 

"Do you realize what you've done? You've only made Lu Mingfei and the others more suspicious!"

All the hard work he had set up was ruined!

Originally, he planned to wait for the three sacrifices to gather and then take them all at once. Now everything was in chaos. How could he not be angry?

A figure in a yellow robe slowly stepped out of the shadows, crushing the broken crystal shards beneath his feet. 

Calm and composed, despite facing an enraged Frost, the person sat down without a hint of panic.

The yellow-robed figure tilted his head and looked at Frost, his pale mask, adorned with distorted yellow symbols, seeming to come to life, twisting and writhing in Frost's eyes.

"What's wrong? Not satisfied?"

Its voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows leaking air, making a sound that was physically uncomfortable to hear.

Frost's eyes darkened, his anger practically manifesting in his gaze, wishing he could tear the person apart. Gritting his teeth, he spat out, "Satisfied! Too satisfied! Give me an explanation! Otherwise… I'll report this to the bishop and have him decide!"

"No need."

The yellow-robed figure sneered, saying, "This is the bishop's will. Your efficiency is too low, and he's very displeased."

"What?!"

Frost's pupils suddenly contracted, as if falling into an ice cavern.

"The bishop doubts... whether you are still loyal."

The man in yellow propped himself up on the desk, slowly rising, and then walked in front of Frost. He reached out an aged hand, gently caressing Frost's twisted face, which had contorted in fear, and finally placed his fingertip on his forehead.

Although his expression was hidden, the cold, murderous aura emanating from the man in yellow pierced through, like a sword thrusting into his heart. Frost had no doubt that the man would truly kill him.

"I... I... have never betrayed the bishop!"

In the face of overwhelming terror, Frost's pupils nearly became a thin line. His body trembled like a sieve, cold sweat pouring down. His voice was hoarse as he desperately tried to explain, "The bishop should understand, I... don't know why this happened!"

The man in yellow stared at him and asked, "The bishop ordered you to capture the 'sacrifice' as soon as possible. Why haven't you carried out the command?"

"I... I planned to wait until Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi, and Caesar gathered, and then capture them all at once!"

Frost swallowed hard and explained, "Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang are both incredibly strong, and they have the artifact 'Seven Deadly Sins.' If we act too soon, I'm worried it will alert them. That's why I didn't act recklessly!"

"Heh... I'll let it slide, for now."

The man in yellow retracted his hand, speaking indifferently, "The ritual time is approaching. The bishop doesn't want any more accidents. Do you understand?"

"Understood! I understand!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Frost's face was as pale as paper. He wiped his cold sweat away and lowered his head to hide the twisted anger on his face.

His hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist, knuckles turning white. Veins bulged, and the fury in his eyes was on the verge of exploding.

Of course, these movements were invisible to the man in the yellow robe.

"Very well, continue with what you must do."

The man in yellow spoke indifferently, "Caesar's situation is being handled. Your task is simple: capture Lu Mingfei."

"Yes... Father."

Frost was as humble as a servant.

After waiting for a long time, with no response, Frost slowly raised his head. He found that the man in yellow was already gone.

His face twisted grotesquely, a gloomy, cold smirk curling on his lips. "Bishop? Heh... who gets the last laugh, that's still uncertain."

The roaring wind vortex, filled with countless steel scraps, resembled a giant meat grinder. 

Wherever it passed, everything was crushed into powder. The ground was carved into a massive trench, several meters wide and three meters deep.

As the violent tornado subsided…

The once smooth road was now a chaotic wreck, resembling a tunnel that had been dug out, with steel fragments scattered everywhere.

Caesar, fortunate to have taken shelter in an underground garage, had survived the terrifying wind vortex.

However, the unfortunate part was that a steel rod had pierced through his thigh, severely impairing his mobility. Not to mention, he still had someone to carry.

Under the moonlight, the man in yellow walked over, standing at the edge of the exposed garage platform, looking down at Caesar amidst the debris. He raised his arm again.

It's over…

At that moment, only one thought remained in Caesar's mind.

But just then, a sharp sonic boom pierced the air. A cold light streaked through the night sky, dragging wind and air behind it like a meteor, directly heading toward the man in yellow.

Stop!

Even though no sound was made, Caesar could still hear it, as if someone was softly speaking to the entire world, issuing an irrevocable command!

The next second, the cold light aimed at the man in yellow seemed to be paused, freezing in place right in front of him.

The man in yellow's slender fingers grasped the incoming cold light.

It was… a katana!

"Muramasa?!"

Caesar immediately recognized the sword. It was Chu Zihang's katana, 'Muramasa'!

The man in yellow held the 'Muramasa' with a light motion, as if casually throwing it, sending it back the way it came.

But just as Muramasa left his hand, it vanished from Caesar's sight, replaced by a sharp sonic boom. Like a cruise missile, it stirred up a fierce air shockwave!

At that moment, a dark figure, dragging a wake of air, shattered the sound barrier, crashing into Muramasa with a deafening roar!

Boom!!!

The violent impact generated shockwaves.

Visible wind currents, accompanied by a loud bang, swept everything around them away with the force of an army.

The ground was torn up, concrete and stone debris crushed by the violent shockwave, dust and smoke rising tens of meters high, like a curtain blocking the sky.

A rebellious and domineering figure broke through the smoke.

In his hand was a roaring chainsaw sword, his body covered in blood and pieces of meat, causing Caesar to gape in shock.

"Lu… Lu Mingfei?!"

Not far behind, another figure appeared, carrying a huge black metal box. His entire body was covered in dark, scaled armor, and his face was surrounded by an exoskeleton, making him look fierce and terrifying. His golden eyes glowed like an eternal flame.

"Long time no see, Caesar."

Looking at the creature that could almost be called a 'dragon,' Caesar suddenly laughed, his tense nerves relaxing. He couldn't help but complain, "You guys… took too long to get here!"

"The main characters always show up at the last moment," Lu Mingfei said, smiling as he carried the chainsaw sword.

However, with his appearance and expression, the smile looked a bit… unsettling to Caesar!
