"Oh dear, kid, looks like you're in trouble. Do you want me to help you?"
Just then, a mocking female voice rang out, startling everyone present.
The only one who didn't show the slightest change in expression was probably Ye Liangnai!
"You've come at just the right time, Lady Yugito. Perfect timing! There's a tailed beast jinchūriki here who can give you some time to stretch your muscles!" Yora Nai said without even turning her head.
Yuan Long, go take a look!
Behind Ye Liangnai, a steel warship appeared, and a cold and beautiful woman, probably around twenty years old, stood with her arms crossed, watching them.
"So strong!"
Yuan Long's expression immediately turned serious. Although his strength had regressed to less than one-tenth of its former value, he was still a powerful figure who had followed the Second Mizukage. He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Yugito.
"Wait, Yugito?"
Yuan Long's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted at Ye Liangnai, "Ye Liangnai, you bastard! How dare you join forces with outsiders against Kirigakure? Are you crazy? Do you want to destroy Kirigakure?!"
Even if you have a deep grudge against us, that's just a matter between us!
"But you actually colluded with foreign enemies! You traitor who betrayed the village, you deserve to be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!"
"How can you live with yourself doing this? Aren't you even a little bit ashamed? You have let down everyone in Kirigakure. Kirigakure is ashamed to have produced such an ingrate!" Yuan Long shouted angrily.
"Hehe, as expected, Elder Yuan Long, you may not be good at fighting, but you are the best at killing people by destroying their spirits!"
"What alliance with foreign enemies? I can't take such a big accusation. Give me a break. I'm not thinking that way. Alliance with foreign enemies? I'm planning to build a brand new Kirigakure. Do you think I would do something like that?"
Ye Liangnai rolls her eyes and retorts sarcastically.
"Hmph, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't deny it in the face of absolute evidence..."
"Even the Jinchuriki from Kumogakure have come, and you still say you haven't allied with external enemies?"
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Yugito Kumogakure, Two-Tails, do you think I wouldn't recognize her! Don't underestimate me, although she doesn't show her face much in Kumogakure, I still know her!"
Yuan Long shouted righteously, his eyes flashing like lightning, as if he had caught Ye Liangnai in a compromising situation.
"Well, you really were up to no good. I knew you were a born traitor!"
"Hmph, like sister, like brother. Birds of a feather flock together!"
"That's right, that's right! I feel sorry for Kirigakure; they actually produced such an ungrateful wretch!"
Seeing this, the Mist Ninja, who belonged to the Yuan Long lineage, immediately spoke out in condemnation.
"I advise you to watch your words and stop fabricating facts based on your own imagination!"
Ye Liangnai's expression immediately turned cold upon hearing this. Her tone was sharp as she swept her gaze over the group and said, "You don't represent Kirigakure, Yugito doesn't necessarily represent Kumogakure..."
"You keep saying that Yugito Kumogakure, what evidence do you have? Show me the evidence!"
"Stop spouting nonsense if you have no evidence. Be a giant in action, not a giant in words. It's disgusting!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Yuan Long couldn't help but sneer, "What evidence do we need? Does Yugito not belong to Kumogakure, but to Kirigakure?"
"Ye Liangnai, I'm speechless. How could you say something so childish!"
Everyone chimed in, "That's right, Ye Liangnai, you must have really lost your mind!"
Ye Liangnai laughed upon hearing this, "A bunch of frogs in a well. Go out and ask around, see what's been going on in Kumogakure lately, and then you can talk again..."
Yugito then spoke up, "I have already left Kumogakure. Don't worry, I don't represent Kumogakure, and there are no Kumogakure reinforcements!"
Whether you believe what I say or not is irrelevant; news will come soon anyway!
"Now, let me experience the methods of your Kirigakure!"
Yugito jumped off the ship and landed on the sea, then rushed towards Utakata.
"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki is so young and handsome, not bad at all!"
She entered her Tailed Beast Transformation form as she charged forward, unleashing a fiery palm strike that forced Utakata to retreat quickly.
"He's in your hands now!"
After saying that, Ye Liangnai rushed towards Mei Terumi without waiting for Yugito's agreement.
A group of Mist Ninja from the Yuan Long faction were attacking, attempting to reclaim the Mizukage, Yagura.
"Ye Liangnai, we're here to help you too!"
At that moment, two voices came from behind Ye Liangnai: Kimimaro Kaguya and Yuki Haku!
"Remnants of the Kaguya Clan, and remnants of the Yuki Clan!!"
Upon seeing the two of them, Yuan Long's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Very well, I didn't expect you two to collude together. Ye Liangnai, I knew you harbored evil intentions. Since you've all delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I'll take you all in as well!"
"Kids, don't think you've won. We have an overwhelming numerical advantage, and victory will definitely be ours in the end!"
Yuan Long roared, sending 99% of the Mist Ninja charging forward, leaving only a few to protect him.
"Number advantage?"
Hearing this, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but laugh. "In that case, I'll show you what a miracle really is!"
"Bai, cooperate with me and use the Magic Crystal Ice Technique!"
Ye Liangnai shouted at Yuki Haku, ordering him to use the secret technique Ice Release.
"Understood, Lord Ye!"
Yuki Haku immediately began forming hand seals, Kimimaro Kaguya immediately acted as his protector, ensuring his safety so he could cast his spell with peace of mind.
"Hmph, you think Ice Release will work? Do you think you can freeze the ocean?"
"Even if you can freeze them, how long can you last with your current strength?"
Yuwu Mist Ninja snorted coldly, completely disregarding it!
"Ice Release: Demonic Crystal Ice Technique!"
However, Yuki Haku was completely unaffected and unleashed a massive area-of-effect Ninjutsu with all his Chakra.
A burst of cold air erupted, followed by the appearance of a huge space covering an area of one hundred meters.
This space is filled with crystal-clear hexagonal ice mirrors, incredibly dreamlike and sparkling, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
There were probably five or six hundred people trapped inside, but the rest managed to escape in time.
"Hmph, I thought it was something special, but this is all? You think this thin, fragile ice mirror can stop us?"
"Watch me break your attack! I'll show you that you're wasting your time!"
"If we launch an internal attack, those outside who haven't been affected will also be attacked. How long can you hold out!"
"Just surrender already! You think you can change Kirigakure with just a few of you? Dream on!!"
Upon seeing this, the group of Mist Ninja couldn't help but sneer, their faces full of mockery.
