Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

In this boundless darkness, a familiar yet chilling pain swept over him once more, striking the most vulnerable part of his soul.

In a daze, he seemed to glimpse the children who had died unjustly because of him. Their innocent faces were now twisted with resentment, and their childish voices echoed in his ears with eerie laughter, as if mocking his inescapable tragic fate.

These persistent hallucinations intertwined with the cruel reality, and the leader's mind finally collapsed completely under this endless torment, plunging into an even deeper darkness.

However, that was only the beginning of endless suffering. The curse of reincarnation, like a malignant tumor, kept repeating itself on the leader, seemingly without end.

After countless brushes with death, when the leader was resurrected, his eyes had lost all life and become empty.

Even when excruciating pain struck again, he was unable to react, as if his soul had been completely drained.

Xingliu then stopped torturing her, satisfied.

For Chika, Orochimaru, and the others, such interrogation methods, though cruel, were not unacceptable.

After all, in the world of ninjas, sometimes extreme measures are necessary to obtain information.

It's just that Xingliu's methods are more sophisticated and more chilling.

"You've abducted so many children, but who did you sell them to?" Xingliu asked coldly.

Although the leader was already emaciated, the fear of the Starfall still haunted him deep in his heart.

Upon hearing the question, he almost instinctively replied, "These children were bought from us by people from Japan."

"Japan?" Xingliu frowned slightly. "What do they want with these children?"

However, he stopped caring about these things afterward. For him, the purpose was not important; as long as he confirmed who it was, that was enough.

With a simple movement from Xingliu, the leader was once again engulfed in flames.

Unlike the previous painful struggles, this time the leader's eyes revealed a hint of relief.

For him, this endless cycle of torment has finally come to an end.

"Since you've been watching from the sidelines for so long, why not show yourself?"

After the leader turned to ashes, Xingliu suddenly spoke loudly.

No one was surprised by his words, as if they had expected this to happen.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, with a wry smile on his face, calmly walked out from the shadows.

He stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Zhang Zhiwei of Longhu Mountain greets everyone."

Although his tone carried a hint of helplessness, his demeanor revealed an extraordinary air of composure and refinement.

This time, Zhang Zhiwei was on his way down the mountain with his master to attend the Lu family's 80th birthday celebration, but he encountered many people anxiously searching for their children on the way.

After learning what had happened, he tracked the trail to this place, only to unexpectedly witness Xingliu's astonishing maneuver.

While spontaneous combustion techniques are not uncommon, the sight of someone dying and coming back to life completely overturned Zhang Zhiwei's understanding.

He is confident that he is unmatched among the younger generation, but he is not arrogant.

The cultivation level displayed by the person before him had far exceeded his imagination.

Xingliu looked at Zhang Zhiwei with great interest.

As one of the "One Person Under One," he was very interested in the old Celestial Master in his youth.

"Attack!"

Zhang Zhiwei was visibly taken aback when he heard those three words.

He looked up in disbelief and met Xingliu's eyes.

In his mind, such a request came out of nowhere and was even somewhat illogical.

He thought he might have misheard or misunderstood.

So, he cautiously probed, "Senior, what you just meant was...?"

Zhang Zhiwei was not a timid person, but at this moment he felt unprecedented pressure.

He knew that the senior in front of him was no ordinary person; his strength far exceeded his imagination.

In his mind, the person who could possess such extraordinary abilities must be a senior master who had lived through countless years.

In his eyes, that youthful face was merely a result of skillful anti-aging techniques, just like Zuo Ruotong, whom he knew well.

Xingliu nodded, his tone still calm: "Attack, let me see your strength."

Despite his mild words, Zhang Zhiwei keenly sensed the undeniable meaning behind them.

Zhang Zhiwei naturally has his own pride.

Being asked to do this, the inner Monkey King within him was almost impossible to suppress.

So he grinned, revealing a hint of defiant spirit: "Senior, I'm sorry for offending you."

After he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his body, quickly condensing into a tangible radiance.

Immediately afterwards, he moved with lightning speed, rushing towards Xingliu.

The distance between the two disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Zhiwei had already arrived in front of Xingliu.

Without hesitation, he threw a punch straight at Xingliu's abdomen.

However, just as his fist was about to touch its target, he noticed that Xingliu hadn't moved at all, and his heart tightened. He subconsciously withdrew some of his power.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Zhang Zhiwei's fist struck Xingliu squarely in the abdomen.

But to his surprise, Xingliu didn't budge an inch, as if the punch was nothing more than a tickle to him.

"The speed is good, but the power is a bit weak," Xingliu commented calmly.

His words brought Zhang Zhiwei back to his senses instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He thought he had overestimated his senior's strength as much as possible, but reality told him that he still underestimated Xingliu's power.

The next moment, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he jumped away without hesitation, keeping a safe distance from Xingliu.

The instant he jumped away, an invisible wind blade whistled through the air and struck the spot where he had just stood.

Xingliu glanced at Zhang Zhiwei with some surprise. Even elite Jonin in Naruto might not be able to dodge that attack.

The young Zhang Zhiwei already possesses this level of skill, truly deserving of the title of "Old Master".

Chapter 192 is simply acting according to one's conscience.

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to unleash his full power, his body suddenly erupting with dazzling lightning, clearly about to unleash a powerful thunder technique, Xingliu suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Okay, that's enough."

This made Zhang Zhiwei feel somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable. His offensive was abruptly interrupted, and he was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

However, his fear of Xingliu's strength ultimately led him to choose to stop.

He knew that there was still a big gap between him and this senior, and that making a rash move would only bring him humiliation.

However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"Senior, isn't this a bit unfair? You're the one who made me attack, and now you're the one who's making me stop."

Xingliu chuckled upon hearing this, and waved his hand, saying:

"Why are you calling me senior? Do I look like a senior? I'm about the same age as you, just call me brother."

Zhang Zhiwei was stunned upon hearing this, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He secretly sized up Xingliu; he did indeed appear to be his peer.

However, Xingliu's unfathomable strength made it difficult for him to regard the other party as an equal.

He thought to himself, "Is this senior joking?"

However, looking at Xingliu's serious eyes, he felt that the other party did not seem to be lying.

This left Zhang Zhiwei somewhat bewildered.

Finally, he laughed and tried to brush it off: "Can I take these children with me? I've been asked to return them safely."

Xingliu nodded in agreement: "No problem, you can take it."

Xingliu's original intention in uncovering Zhang Zhiwei's whereabouts was to confirm Zhang Zhiwei's identity and see if he was connected with human traffickers.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwei possessed the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic, and that his skills were far superior to those of the previous leader, it became clear that his identity was genuine.

At the same time, these rescued children are also a tricky matter for Xingliu.

He was not good at dealing with situations that required careful care and reassurance, so he was naturally happy to accept Zhang Zhiwei's offer.

Moreover, he had more urgent and important matters to attend to.

Zhang Zhiwei originally thought Xingliu would be a difficult person to deal with, after all, his initial attitude was not friendly.

However, to his surprise, Xingliu readily agreed to his request and even relinquished the credit for saving the child.

This surprised and confused him.

However, he didn't have time to delve into the reasons behind it.

The most urgent task is to get these children away from this dangerous place as soon as possible and find their families.

So he went to the children, intending to wake them and take them away.

However, when he saw the children, he was surprised to find that all their injuries had disappeared.

Whether the child was injured or disabled, they have all recovered.

Even those children who were on the verge of death after being mutilated by the harvesting process have now all come back to life.

This shocked Zhang Zhiwei once again.

He turned to look at where Xingliu had been, only to find that Xingliu and his companions had vanished.

"This is a true hero!" Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself. "He seeks neither fame nor fortune, only to uphold justice. Compared to him, I am still lacking."

If Xingliu heard Zhang Zhiwei's praise right now, he would probably burst out laughing.

Because he never considered himself a great hero, much less a noble one.

In his view, he was simply acting according to his own conscience and doing what he wanted to do.

After reflecting on his feelings, Zhang Zhiwei began to deal with the matters at hand.
