Dark Release, Yoshiro
The attack on Daimyo Port had many more motives, with causing chaos being the most basic objective.
The middle-level plan was to take advantage of the chaos so that when the daimyo summoned his ministers for a meeting, the Finance Minister would choose to take the ransom to Yaqi Town to rescue his son because of the ransom agreement.
Because he refused to meet with the daimyo, going against his will, the daimyo developed a rift with the Finance Minister.
By using the daimyo's hand to eliminate the Finance Minister, the daimyo will lose a major fighting force!
After all, the Finance Minister was one of the masterminds behind the division of the trading ports of the Land of Lightning, so there's nothing wrong with getting rid of him!
The deeper purpose was to use the chaos to allow their spies from Kirigakure to infiltrate faster and more safely!
However, this intermediate objective was shelved and could not be achieved, which is truly a pity.
There was no way around it; we underestimated the unity among these ministers.
"But it's alright, your turn is next. Going against Ye Liangnai will cost you even if you're a daimyo!"
He glanced at the departing ministers, pretended to be one of them, and left.
Of course, this is not his original identity. The true owner of this identity is currently imprisoned somewhere by him, and is safe and sound.
At this moment, in Kirigakure.
"Has the Finance Minister already set off? Let's take him to Yaqi Town; it's time for the show to begin!"
Ye Liangnai spoke to one of the Anbu behind her, next to whom a young man with a face like a pig's head was being escorted.
It's the Finance Minister's son!
At this moment, he dared not shout at all, fearing that Ye Liangnai would cut off another one of his fingers.
He was scared!
Ye Liangnai showed absolutely no regard for his identity and treated him arbitrarily.
Ye Liangnai glanced at him, then led her team toward Yaqi Town.
Behind him, Mei Terumi watched him leave with a worried expression.
Her intuition told her that something extraordinary would happen if Ye Liangnai went there.
But she also knew that she couldn't stop Ye Liangnai.
All I could do was turn all my worries into a sigh.
Yaqi Town!
"The Bounty Office is truly a powerful place. With such an armed force under the control of a daimyo, he can certainly act with impunity!"
Ye Liangnai walked in, and seeing the malicious looks from the crowd around her, her smile widened.
"However, such a dangerous force can be controlled and used well by a powerful ruler."
"But it's not necessarily the same if it's an incompetent ruler, especially since this power is jointly controlled by the five great daimyo of the Five Great Nations!"
"Although placing an order directly with the daimyo of the Land of Water at the Bounty Office would be tantamount to suicide."
"But if we take a detour and have them place orders with the Akatsuki Organization, then these problems won't exist!"
He found a place to sit down and instructed the Anbu agents behind him to search for the Finance Minister.
"Hey kid, this seat is mine. Your filthy body has defiled my sacred place. Tell me, what are you going to do about it!"
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I don't think this matter will be resolved today! Kid, you don't want to die, do you?"
Just then, a man with a fierce face came up to Ye Liangnai and said menacingly.
"Oh, Yoshiro's causing trouble for others again, hahaha, this is going to be good!"
"Kid, what are you planning to do? You're still wet behind the ears and you dare to come here like others. You must be trembling with fear now."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd also started to jeer and howl like wolves.
Everyone wore expressions of anticipation, eager to see how Ye Liangnai would react!
Fear? Panic? Restlessness?
However, Ye Liangnai did not exhibit any of the situations they had anticipated.
Calm, utterly calm, indifferent, without the slightest change in expression, as if these people didn't exist at all.
"Hey kid, I'm talking to you!"
When Yoshiro saw that Ye Liangnai completely ignored him, he became furious.
"You brat, how dare you ignore me! You're dead!"
Enraged, Yoshiro unleashed a punch aimed straight at Ye Liangnai's head. "Pay the price for your arrogance with your life! You asked for this!"
"No one has ever dared to ignore me before. This is your lesson!"
Faced with this punch, Ye Liangnai finally made a slight movement.
He slightly raised his eyes, barely managing to look at Yoshiro, and stopped the Anbu behind him from making a move, saying softly, "Where did these flies come from, making such a racket!"
No one saw how he made his move; they only saw a terrifying flash of cold light, and a hand flew up, spurting blood.
Then came Yoshiro's scream.
"???"
Those who were cheering around couldn't help but look puzzled upon seeing this scene.
After taking a closer look at the situation, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Then, everything around them fell silent instantly.
Many people wore solemn and cautious expressions.
"How ruthless!"
"I didn't see what happened at all!"
They couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Ye Liangnai's move was so bizarre that no one knew what had happened.
When faced with the unknown, people always subconsciously feel apprehensive.
But this matter is not something that Yoshiro is afraid of; he is furious right now!
In all his years of Yoshiro the bounty Bounty Office, when had he ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace, having one of his arms chopped off?
"Damn it, how dare you ambush me? Don't think I'm someone to be trifled with."
"I am Yoshiro, an A-rank hunter of the Bounty Office. I don't even know how many A-rank missing-nin have died at my hands."
"I've killed countless brats like you!"
He roared and retreated rapidly. Before anyone could see him forming hand seals, dark Chakra appeared on his body and enveloped Ye Liangnai.
"Presumptuous!"
The Anbu behind Ye Liangnai shouted angrily and quickly formed hand seals.
A whirlpool of water immediately appeared beside him, which then transformed into several water blades exuding a sharp aura and slashed away.
But something astonishing happened: when the water blade encountered the invading Dark Chakra, it seemed to become ineffective and was completely devoured.
"How is that possible!"
Upon seeing this, the Anbu gasped in disbelief.
"Hahaha, you're dumbfounded now, aren't you? How about that? My Dark Release ability gave you a fright!"
"Give up! All Chakra attacks are ineffective against me. Don't think my A-rank hunter status came out of thin air!"
Seeing the astonishment on the faces of the Anbu, Yoshiro laughed triumphantly.
Immediately, with a thought, the Dark Chakra transformed into a giant hand the instant it approached Ye Liangnai, grabbing at Ye Liangnai.
There was an oppressive and suffocating aura.
