Chapter 176 - Shun's Amusement

Seeing the dying Asuma, Shun slowly walked over. He leaned down slightly and spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the rock in front of Asuma.

"Asuma, you are incredibly weak."

Asuma lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair, but when he saw the blood mixed in the phlegm he spat, a hint of madness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He mustered some strength and secretly gave a look to the mysterious masked man with the corner of his eye.

Obito instantly understood Asuma's intention and immediately activated Kamui, releasing three Shadow Clones from the Kamui dimension. These three Shadow Clones, holding a dozen kunai, threw them densely towards Shun. The kunai whizzed through the air, instantly attracting Shun's attention.

"Again?"

Shun frowned, dodging the kunai while pursuing these Shadow Clones.

Asuma seized this brief interval, and despite the filth on the ground, he unhesitatingly licked the phlegm.

The taste of blood and the disgusting sensation of the phlegm spread in his mouth, but he seemed to have obtained a treasure, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.

As long as he could get revenge, what did a little disgust matter?

He quickly drew a black circle on the ground, Chakra flowing along the circle's patterns.

"Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood!"

Asuma roared as he activated the secret technique, his body turning black and white.

He gripped the Chakra blade at his waist with his right hand and plunged it fiercely into his own heart.

Pfft!

The blade pierced through his chest, and blood gushed out.

At that very moment, Shun suddenly clutched his chest, staggering back two steps, a pained expression on his face.

He cried out in agony, "I'm dying! Is this what death feels like? My heart… my heart feels like it's been pierced."

Asuma, who had been tense, burst into maniacal laughter upon hearing this wail.

"Hahaha... Shun! You too shall taste what it's like to have your heart stabbed through. I want you to go to hell with me."

He trembled with laughter, forgetting the sharp pain in his chest, feeling only that years of hatred were finally avenged.

Obito in the distance was stunned, his eyes behind the mask filled with surprise. He hadn't expected Asuma's curse technique to be able to harm Shun.

But as he laughed, Asuma felt something was wrong.

Although Shun was clutching his chest and wailing, not a single drop of blood appeared, and there was no trace of pain in his eyes, only a hint of playful amusement, as if watching a show.

"You… why aren't you dead yet?"

Asuma's laughter abruptly stopped, the wild joy on his face instantly frozen, replaced by utter confusion.

Shun, seeing that the act was almost over, finally lowered the hand covering his chest, his tone relaxed. "I almost died. Luckily, my recovery ability is great, and I've already healed."

"Asuma, your curse technique isn't very powerful. I've been shouting 'I'm dying' for ages, but nothing's happened? Why don't you stab a few more times? Maybe if the force is enough, I can die?"

As he spoke, he deliberately presented his chest to Asuma, a provocative "come stab me" look on his face.

In fact, as a transmigrator, Shun was very curious about the Jashin Cult's curse techniques. So he deliberately exposed a weakness, just to observe the principle of Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood, and also to tease Asuma.

After all, watching an enemy believe they have succeeded, only to instantly collapse, was quite amusing.

At this moment, Divine Eye was operating at high speed, and in his crimson pupils, the patterns of the curse technique's circle and the flow of Chakra constantly flashed, clearly presenting the transfer mechanism of Death Controlling Possessed Blood in his mind.

And his previous "actor-level" performance was just a small interlude during the battle.

Asuma was enraged by Shun's attitude and didn't bother to think about why he wasn't dead. He drew his Chakra blade and once again plunged it into his own chest. This stab was even more vicious than before, the blade almost completely embedded in his body, blood continuously dripping down the hilt.

He didn't forget to shout fiercely, "I don't believe it! This time I'll stab deeper, let's see you pretend then!"

The clothes on Shun's chest trembled with Asuma's movements, as if truly pierced.

"Impossible… This is impossible… Why aren't you dead yet?!"

Asuma completely broke down. He frantically pulled out the blade and once again plunged it into his own heart. His chest was a bloody mess, and his shattered internal organs were visible, but Shun opposite him was completely unharmed.

Shun looked at Asuma, who was on the verge of death yet still struggling in vain, and finally put away his playful expression.

"Don't waste your energy. Before you activated the curse technique, I had already used the Hozuki clan's Hydrification Technique. My body is now made of water, without real organs like a heart or internal organs. Your curse technique transfers damage by harming your own organs, but I don't even have organs, so do you think this curse technique can still be effective?"

After speaking, Shun raised both hands and took off his own head. At the severed neck, no blood flowed out, only some water rippling.

Hearing Shun's explanation and seeing his body made of water, the Chakra blade in Asuma's hand clattered to the ground. The madness in his eyes was replaced by despair.

He used his last bit of strength to reach out his left hand. He seemed to want to say something, but could only make a "ho ho" gasping sound, finally tilting his head and completely losing his life.

Obito witnessed all of this, his eyes behind the mask filled with shock, apprehension, and a hint of barely concealed embarrassment.

Just now, he had almost believed Shun's performance, thinking that Asuma had truly succeeded.

He dared not linger any longer, activating Kamui. His figure instantly disappeared into the spatial rift, not even bothering to take Asuma's body, fearing that if he delayed a second longer, he would become Shun's next amusement target.

Shun gently shook his head, summoned a Shadow Clone, and sealed Asuma's body into a scroll.

He didn't forget to complain at the end, "Asuma, with your meager strength, you still wanted to seek revenge on me?"

Then, he released the Hydrification Technique, and his body returned to human form. The clothes on his chest still retained the wrinkles left by the deliberate trembling during his act just now.

The island completely returned to peace, leaving only Asuma's cold corpse and the devastation caused by the explosion.

Shun glanced at the distant sea, then turned and used the Flying Thunder God Technique, his figure instantly disappearing from the island.

The royal wedding was still waiting for him.

His two beloved wives, Mei and Kurenai , were waiting for him to return, to the wedding chamber.
