"What, is that all there is to it?"
Ye Liangnai stabbed down mercilessly with her long sword, sharp and filled with murderous intent.
"Ten Finger Bullet!"
Kimimaro Kaguya dodged the attack in a disheveled manner and quickly launched an attack to stop Ye Liangnai from continuing her pursuit.
But--
"Whoosh!"
As the Ten Finger Bullet out, Ye Liangnai had already disappeared from her original spot, and then appeared behind Kimimaro Kaguya, thrusting out a sword.
"The Pine Dance!"
Kimimaro Kaguya felt a chill run down her spine and quickly thrust a sharp bone from her body to block the attack.
Then, he quickly turned around and unleashed a series of punches with his hands, feet, knees, and elbows.
"Die, bewildered by my multiple rhythms of death!"
Kimimaro Kaguya fought faster and faster, becoming increasingly frenzied, her eyes turning bloodshot like those of a wild beast.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
But facing Kimimaro's attack, which was covered in sharp bone spikes, Ye Liangnai easily blocked it, appearing quite composed.
Not only that, but lightning also erupted from his body. Kimimaro Kaguya didn't even see him form hand seals before he heard him say, "Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"
A bolt of lightning, as raging as a serpent, burst forth, giving him no chance to dodge, and began to climb onto his body.
"Ah!!!"
It felt as if his body was being torn apart, every cell felt like it was being pricked by needles and burned. The intense pain made Kimimaro scream in agony.
But pain isn't the most important thing; the most important thing is—
"Damn it, my body is paralyzed, I can't move! Damn it, am I going to die here?!"
"How can I fall like this? I haven't even given my strength to Ye Liangnai yet! How can I fall like this!"
Kimimaro Kaguya roared inwardly in frustration, but no matter how much he roared, he couldn't change his predicament.
He could only watch as Ye Liangnai's sharp sword pierced his chest and took his life!
He waited for a long time but did not feel the pain he had imagined, so he opened his eyes in confusion.
But then he saw a smiling face staring at him, Ye Liangnai's sword stopped just centimeters from his chest!
"Why don't you kill me? Do you look down on me?"
Kimimaro Kaguya asked with icy eyes.
This is a severe insult to him!
Ye Liangnai spoke up, "Heh, Kimimaro, do you really want to die? What, you're not going to serve me anymore?"
"I rescued you and Bai, not to kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Kimimaro Kaguya's pupils constricted, and his voice became urgent as he asked, "Who are you? How do you know such things!"
This is something only he, Shiro, Ye Liangnai know.
"Heh, what's wrong, Kimimaro? You still haven't figured me out?"
Ye Liangnai reluctantly sheathed her sword and said, "That's right, this face makes you suspicious. Fine, let's change the face!"
As he spoke, he released the spell that had altered his appearance.
Suddenly, a face familiar to Kimimaro Kaguya appeared.
However, compared to six months ago, his face has become much more resolute, and his eyes have become more focused and sharp.
"Night...!!!"
Kimimaro Kaguya became excited and was about to speak when Ye Liangnai stopped him.
"Don't make a fuss, let's talk about it when we get back to Kirigakure!"
Kimimaro immediately shut his mouth, then asked, "My lord, what are you doing here! Are you on some top-secret mission?"
This place is near the Land of Lightning. Ye Liangnai, a ninja from the Land of Water, has come here for no other reason than to carry out a secret mission.
"Pretty much. Seeing your current strength puts my mind at ease. Are you ready? It's time for a big battle!"
In response to Ye Liangnai's question, Kimimaro Kaguya and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for whatever Ye Liangnai needs!"
His face was filled with fanaticism; if Ye Liangnai asked him to commit suicide now, he probably wouldn't hesitate much!
"Alright, Yugito, stop!"
Ye Liangnai then looked at Yugito, signaling her to stop.
When the person wearing the female mask saw Ye Liangnai's face, their eyes widened in disbelief!
Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she exclaimed, "Night..."
But he was stopped by Ye Liangnai as soon as he opened his mouth!
"You actually showed up here! What happened? Are you on some secret mission? We haven't heard from you in so long!" he said excitedly.
"Haha, Bai, don't get so excited!"
"On another note, are you ready? The great battle I told you about back then is about to begin!"
Ye Liangnai looked at the cross-dressing young man in front of her and laughed.
Who else could be wearing this female mask but Yuki Haku?
Yugito, however, couldn't help but marvel at Ye Liangnai's true face, saying, "Is this your real face? You're so young! Just how old are you?!"
Ye Liangnai's face used to look like she was 17 years old, but now she looks no more than 15!
"You really want to know? Heh, I think it's better if you don't know, otherwise, you'll start questioning the meaning of life!"
Ye Liangnai said with a playful look that if he told Yugito that I was only twelve years old, he thought Yugito would be petrified!
"Is it better not to know? Are you not even fifteen years old?"
Upon Yugito seemed to have some doubts about life.
"Um!"
Ye Liangnai nods very directly!
Well, Yugito was instantly petrified!
What a monster!
"By the way, Lord Yoru... are you aware that Kirigakure!"
"When we set sail today, we heard that the Grand Elder of Kirigakure and the Third Mizukage were confronting someone with their troops!"
"It seems there's a rebel force planning to eliminate the Mizukage, and a battle is about to break out. Sir, won't this affect your plans?"
Yuki Haku informed Ye Liangnai of the latest information he had gathered.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai's expression immediately changed, and she quickly asked, "Who is the leader of that rebel force? What's their name? Are they male or female?"
He had a bad feeling!
In Kirigakure, the only person who could make the Grand Elder and the Mizukage unite to confront each other seems to be his sister Mei Terumi!
But if that's the case, wouldn't his sister's situation be extremely dangerous?
Mizukage Yagura is no weakling, and as the village's Kage, he has considerable influence. Mei Terumi were to start a battle, she might not necessarily gain the upper hand with her strength!
If that's the case, then once he goes back, everything will be over!
"The rebel leader seems to be a woman, her name is..."
Seeing that Yuki Haku had fallen into deep thought, Ye Liangnai tentatively asked, "Is her Mei Terumi?"
