Chapter 5: Eat My Rasengan!

Yagami Iori looked slightly weary as he carried his beloved guitar back to the backstage lounge.

Although the high-intensity performance tonight was nothing for Yagami's stamina, this kind of mental stimulation was more exhausting than fighting a dozen consecutive brawls.

But it was also exhilarating!

Setting down his beloved guitar, Yagami left the lounge.

About ten seconds later, several guys wearing martial arts uniforms snuck into the lounge.

They were the very Binglong Sect martial artists who had just conspired to set a trap for Bu Zhi Bu Jue.

Bob, the leader of the group, looked hesitant; he seemed to recognize who this guitarist actually was.

Yagami Iori...

This name was not unfamiliar to the younger generation of martial artists in Yinghuaguo.

It was said that this person had a fierce personality and was vengeful to the point of pettiness; he could be described as an out-and-out terrifying figure.

As for plotting against Bu Zhi Bu Jue, Bob didn't care, but what if the plan failed and he ended up provoking a madman like Yagami Iori?

Thinking about it suddenly, Bob realized he wasn't actually that close to Jack, so maybe he should just forget about this...

Since the boss was afraid, his underlings naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Just as Bob wanted to sneak out of the room, a bizarre accident occurred.

"Meow~"

Bob suddenly heard a cat's cry, and immediately after, he was astonished to find the beautiful guitar in his hand... had actually shattered into several pieces!

"What the hell, what's going on?"

"Is this place haunted?"

"Boss, did you do this?"

Bob wanted to tear the mouths of these idiots apart; how could this possibly be his doing!

"Let's run, if Yagami Iori comes back, we won't be able to wash ourselves clean even if we jump into Tokyo Bay."

Bob hurriedly threw the "guitar corpse" in his hand onto the table, then hastily led his underlings away from the spot.

With no one able to see, the Treasure Cat crouched on the sofa, slowly licking its little fleshy paw.

—It's time to give the poop-scooper a sense of crisis.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue had just come out of C, and his head still felt heavy... he wanted to vomit.

Suddenly, a notification made Bu Zhi Bu Jue perk up.

【Please walk straight for 300 meters, turn right, then turn left and walk for 50 meters before entering a lounge, and you will immediately make the Treasure Cat very happy, favorability increased by 20 points!】

20 points of favorability was already a huge sum.

Usually, Bu Zhi Bu Jue had to play with the Treasure Cat for an hour with a cat teaser to increase it by 1 point, yet this time there were a full 20 points!

"There's something fishy here."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue knew very well that there must be some conspiracy behind this task, which was simple to the point of being outrageous.

But the Treasure Cat was just too tempting; Bu Zhi Bu Jue couldn't refuse at all.

Everything follows the law of equivalent exchange; only with effort can there be a harvest.

Getting benefits for no reason—even one's own father might not be that generous to you.

So... even though Bu Zhi Bu Jue knew it was a trap, he still jumped in willingly.

Maybe if he saved up enough favorability, the Treasure Cat would bring him a pair of Sharingan!!

Not far from the target room, it only took Bu Zhi Bu Jue two minutes to find this backstage lounge.

Click~

Bu Zhi Bu Jue entered the room.

"There's actually no one here?"

Just as Bu Zhi Bu Jue was puzzled, he discovered a guitar on the table in front of him that had been severed by a sharp object.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue's heart trembled; he seemed to understand something...

【The Treasure Cat is very happy with your actions, favorability +20!】

Ignoring the notification, Bu Zhi Bu Jue only wanted to leave this godforsaken room as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Because Yagami Iori was just standing at the doorway, seeing this scene of collapse before him.

His beloved guitar had been destroyed, and there just happened to be a stranger standing inside the room.

The result was obviously very clear!

"You bastard, you actually snuck in specifically to destroy my guitar!"

Yagami Iori's expression was extremely furious; he wanted nothing more than to tear Bu Zhi Bu Jue to pieces right then and there.

Treasure Cat... this damn thing must be your conspiracy!

Bu Zhi Bu Jue had a shitty expression; he helplessly explained to Yagami Iori: "If I said I didn't do this, you would believe me, right?"

Forget it, Bu Zhi Bu Jue didn't even believe such words himself, let alone a long-term insane pervert like Yagami Iori.

"O-la-la-la."

Yagami's eyes turned red, and his entire upper body lunged over in a hunched posture; his aura was incomparably terrifying.

He appeared in front of Bu Zhi Bu Jue in almost a second.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue struck a martial arts pose to counterattack, but Yagami Iori's movement speed was extremely fast.

A heavy fist smashed down!

Boom...

The ground cracked into thick fissures, and Bu Zhi Bu Jue steadily took Yagami Iori's punch.

Yagami Iori's gaze was unkind, and he muttered to himself, "To think you could take a punch from me; it seems you are a martial artist as well."

Deafening heavy metal music spread throughout the entire bar.

Shiranui Mai was becoming impatient, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why hasn't Bu Zhi Bu Jue returned yet? Could he have snuck away?"

King's expression was unnatural; if she were Bu Zhi Bu Jue, she would definitely sneak back too, as having an older sister like you is truly terrifying.

Just as Shiranui Mai was preparing to go to the men's restroom to drag Bu Zhi Bu Jue out.

The wall of the stage in front suddenly shattered.

Two figures could be seen bouncing back and forth rapidly, and every time these two figures collided, waves of heat would ripple outward.

Clearly, these were two martial artists engaged in a fierce battle.

"That's Bu Zhi Bu Jue!"

King saw at a glance that one of the two figures was Bu Zhi Bu Jue, while the other had a head of red hair, wore black clothes with a crescent moon mark on the back, and had a face full of arrogance!

This guy didn't look like a good person at all.

"Damn you, how dare you hit my younger brother?"

Shiranui Mai was furious on the spot, and she grabbed the fan behind her and threw it fiercely: "Flower Dance Fan!"

The high-speed spinning fan ignited with intense flames in the air; this was no parlor trick, but a genuine Shiranui Style Ninjutsu.

Shiranui Mai was different from Bu Zhi Bu Jue; she was a legitimate successor and future head of the Shiranui School.

Yagami Iori was a freak of nature, and he spotted Shiranui Mai's sneak attack at a glance.

Yagami Iori's palm erupted with purple flames, and as he rose in a spiral motion, he directly countered Shiranui Mai's signature move, the "Flower Dance Fan."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue also gained a moment to catch his breath due to Shiranui Mai's appearance.

Yagami Iori's strength was simply brutal; his moves and speed revealed three qualities: fast, accurate, and ruthless!

He was worthy of being one of the popular protagonists of the King of Fighters; his strength was on a completely different dimension from a good-for-nothing like Jack.

"A ninja of the Shiranui School?"

Yagami Iori had a sharp eye, and he saw through the origin of Shiranui Mai's ninjutsu at a glance, and this woman clearly knew the culprit who broke the guitar.

So they were in cahoots!

Bu Zhi Bu Jue felt very uneasy; judging by Yagami Iori's style of brutally attacking his teammates *N times in the future, being targeted by this guy definitely meant no good.

He had wanted to make up a fake name to fool Yagami Iori, but Shiranui Mai's appearance completely shattered that fantasy.

As long as he was associated with the Shiranui School, Bu Zhi Bu Jue's identity would be uncovered very quickly.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue decided not to pretend anymore, and he openly admitted, "I am the second senior disciple of the Shiranui School, Bu Zhi Bu Jue!"

"Bu-Zhi-Bu-Jue, I have remembered you."

Yagami Iori called out Bu Zhi Bu Jue's full name in an extremely eerie tone, the eeriness of which was enough to give anyone goosebumps.

"Even a Buddha would get angry; don't think that just because your name is Yagami, you are greater than the heavens!"

Bu Zhi Bu Jue was angry; so what if you're a popular protagonist? You think you can push me around just because I gave you an inch?

Eat my Rasengan, you bastard!
