Anticipating the Enemy

"Let Xiao Ye be willful just this once!"

"Perhaps he's right. Some things can't be left unfinished, otherwise, they won't have the desired deterrent effect!"

The deed is done, and even if we apologize, the Daimyo of the Land of Water may not be grateful.

Since that's the case, let's just go all the way down this path!

It would be impossible for her to say that she had no resentment towards the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

The trading ports of the Land of Lightning, which they had built with blood and sweat, were brazenly divided up by the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Do they really think Kirigakure is an easy target?

Meanwhile, in certain parts of Kirigakure!

A group of elderly men were gathered together, their faces beaming with joy as they talked about something.

"Ye Liangnai is courting death! He actually kidnapped the daimyo of the Land of Water! He's doomed!"

"This is a golden opportunity bestowed upon us by heaven. We must hurry out and incite the villagers to stage a coup, forcing Mei Terumi to deal with Ye Liangnai. Only then will we have a chance to restore our rule!"

"That's right, let's seize the opportunity quickly. If we wait any longer, that Mei Terumi guy will definitely realize what's happening and come to guard us!"

"Hehe, Ye Liangnai is just a kid after all. He can't be perfect in everything. At least this time, he didn't expect us to take the opportunity to make trouble!"

At this point, they immediately got up and walked outside.

However, when they reached the door of the room and had the Anbu agents they had bribed open it, they thought their future was bright.

The scene before them made them stop in their tracks, and the joy on their faces froze instantly!

Before them stood Juzo Biwa, Zabuza, Kisame Hoshigaki, side by side.

Behind them stood six cold-faced members of the Anbu, completely blocking their way out!

"Hehe, just as Ye Liangnai predicted, you guys will cause trouble at this time!" Zabuza glanced at them and laughed mockingly.

"How about that? Pretty surprising, right? Your face went from full of hope to despair in an instant?" Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and joked.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's just get this over with!"

Oddball, Juzo Biwa was unwilling to waste any more words and urged his two teammates to get to work!

"What... do you... want to do!"

Zabuza two drew their swords from their backs, their faces filled with murderous intent.

The old men immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated!

Why do you think we're here?

Kisame Hoshigaki stroked his Samehada, speaking leisurely.

Then, a swift and powerful strike blasted several people away.

"Ye Liangnai has ordered that if you behave yourselves and stay out of trouble, you will be safe!"

"But if they take this opportunity to cause trouble, then..."

"Kill without mercy!!!"

Kisame Hoshigaki other two shouted in unison, their voices chilling to the bone, and rushed inside at lightning speed.

"Puff puff puff!"

Several cutting sounds could be heard.

Then came screams and muffled groans, followed by a heavy thud on the ground.

About ten seconds later, Kisame Hoshigaki and his two companions emerged, carrying long swords that were still dripping blood.

In the room behind them lay several terrified corpses, their blood flowing freely and staining the floor red!

"Pack it up!"

Juzo Biwa gave instructions to the members of the Anbu.

These people immediately rushed in like messengers of the night.

Then, they unrolled the scroll, sealed the corpse, and erased all traces.

In about two minutes, all the traces disappeared!

The smell of blood in the air, including the blood on the floor, had all disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Let's go!

After confirming that no traces had been left behind, the group left.

Less than two minutes after they left, Mei Terumi arrived here, almost brushing past Kisame Hoshigaki and the others who had left.

"Are we late? Was this also Xiao Ye's order?"

Looking at the empty room and the scene that seemed like nothing had happened, Mei Terumi sighed, shook her head, and left.

Ye Liangnai is indeed very thoughtful in her work.

What she can think of, Ye Liangnai can also think of.

Moreover, it can be done more decisively.

From her perspective as the Mizukage, keeping these elders around is actually quite useful.

She certainly wouldn't kill these people easily.

But Ye Liangnai would never think that way!

Based on Mei Terumi's understanding of him, in Ye Liangnai's eyes, there are perhaps only two kinds of people: those who can be used and those who cannot be used!

Those who can use it can naturally live well!

Those who cannot be used may not be in mortal danger if they behave themselves, but once they cross this red line, they will surely die!

"Indeed, he is the most suitable person to serve as the head of the Anbu!"

Terumi sighed again as she pondered this.

If possible, she didn't particularly want Ye Liangnai to take on the position of head of the Anbu.

She would much rather Ye Liangnai be an ordinary Kirigakure, living a carefree and leisurely life.

But now, Ye Liangnai's abilities, methods, and strength have undoubtedly told everyone.

The head of the Anbu belongs to Ye Liangnai.

"These people are utterly foolish. Do they really think that Kirigakure can still turn the world upside down now?"

"You're underestimating Ye Liangnai too much. That guy isn't that careless!"

Just then, a mocking voice came from behind Mei Terumi, attracting everyone's attention.

Mei Terumi turned her head slightly to look at him, somewhat surprised, and said, "You didn't go with Xiao Ye? That's strange!"

The person who came was none other than Kumogakure Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito the Two-Tails, who was one of the reasons for the war Kirigakure!

"Hey, I want to go too!"

Upon hearing this question, Yugito shrugged helplessly and said, "But your Xiao Ye won't let me go with her."

"They told me to stay and guard Kirigakure in case something happens!"

"You have a wonderful younger brother who always thinks of you. Sometimes, I'm actually quite envious of you!"

Upon Mei Terumi couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want, perhaps you can!"

"Anyway, we're not that much older, are we?"

Upon hearing this, Yugito immediately refused, saying, "Then let's forget it. I won't take advantage of that guy."

"I am very satisfied with my life now. I can live freely without Byakugan by others, and I can do what I want to do."

"I have no regrets in life. That guy really didn't lie to me; he gave me the living environment I wanted!"

"I thought I was going to see a good show, but it was suppressed before it even started."

"Ugh, what a boring guy!"

"Sometimes, thinking things through too thoroughly isn't a good thing; it makes it impossible to have any fun!"

Yugito was like a cat that was looking for fun but couldn't find it, so it kept scratching its paws. Its face had four words written on it: restless and uneasy!

This scene amused Mei Terumi and the others.

Yugito is quite arrogant, but not as aloof as she seems.
