Meeting Deva Path Pain

Mei Terumi parted her red lips slightly and said, "If I were Xiao Ye, I would definitely leave you behind to guard Kirigakure as well."

"With your formidable combat strength, staying here is a guarantee!"

Please continue to guide me in the future!

To receive such polite treatment from Mei Terumi, only Yugito has probably received this honor so far!

Yugito nodded. Mei Terumi was being so polite, she certainly wouldn't put on a sour face or act aloof.

"Let's go!"

She waved her hand and quickly disappeared from the spot, as light and graceful as a nimble cat.

Meanwhile!

Inside the Anbu service dungeon, someone suddenly opened their eyes. "Did Ye Liangnai send you?"

This is a man who looks like a child, although his whole body is bound by chains and covered with sealing runes.

However, the aura emanating from him was extremely powerful.

It was none other than the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, who had been defeated and imprisoned!

But what appeared before him was a man with a shark-like face, not an ordinary ninja, but Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

Hearing Yagura's question, Kisame Hoshigaki replied, "Yes, he sent me to keep an eye on you!"

Upon hearing this, Yagura revealed a mocking smile, "He's already placed a control-type Sealing Jutsu on me, and he still doesn't trust me?"

"With his immense strength and so many powerful individuals guarding him, are you really worried that a cripple like me will cause trouble?"

"He really thinks too highly of me, Yagura. I don't have the strength to rebel again! Mei Terumi is managing Kirigakure very well these days!"

When he said these words, there was still a hint of sadness in Yagura's eyes, and of course, a little bit of longing.

If only this were the scene during his time in power.

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and said, "Perhaps it's like you said, you don't have any thoughts of rebellion, but that doesn't mean no one else does!"

"So, just in case, I'm here to keep an eye on you around the clock!"

Yagura laughed after hearing this, then sighed, "Ye Liangnai's taste is definitely better than mine!"

"I've been in power for so many years, and I never discovered such a gem as you! What a pity!"

"Fine, do as you please."

"These leisurely days are not bad. I don't have to worry about various problems or deal with affairs. It's peaceful and carefree."

"When I'm free, I can also chat with Three-Tails!"

He seemed to have come to terms with it all, and appeared to pose no danger whatsoever.

Kisame Hoshigaki didn't say anything upon hearing this. He simply sat down cross-legged, placed his Samehada on his feet, and closed his eyes to rest.

Even if Yagura poses no real danger, he is still a dangerous individual, and we cannot let our guard down.

Ye Liangnai here!

He arranged to meet with all the members of the Akatsuki Organization at a place called Faban Town.

Now, the entire Akatsuki Organization was right in front of him, with a group of hostages tied behind him.

"Nice to meet you, Akatsuki Organization!"

"I didn't expect you to complete the mission so quickly. Your efficiency is truly impressive! No wonder you're the number one mercenary!"

Ye Liangnai's opening remarks were full of praise, which seemed very sincere and made the Akatsuki Organization members feel a little uncomfortable.

"You're more mature than I imagined. I heard you're only twelve?"

"But I do think you're like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old!"

Deva Path Pain spoke, his tone was cold, but it still carried a hint of humanity.

"You flatter me. If there's nothing else, I'll take the hostage with me!"

"We look forward to your organization's performance in the future. We're entrusting Kumogakure to you!"

Ye Liangnai did not intend to spend too much time exchanging pleasantries with Deva Path Pain.

After all, he wasn't there to chat.

His purpose was solely to capture the hostages—the Daimyo of the Land of Water and others—whom the Akatsuki Organization had captured.

"Rest assured, I will fulfill my mission as entrusted to me. Farewell, White Cold Light!"

Upon hearing this, Deva Path Pain, who was holding the daimyo of the Land of Water released him and his men.

Then, Deva Path Pain and his group turned and left.

"Oh, by the way, here's some news that might be very interesting to you!"

"It seems the Uchiha Clan of Konoha is about to make a move; perhaps this action will be helpful to you!"

Just then, Zetsu suddenly appeared from behind Ye Liangnai and told him the news.

"Is that so? Thank you very much!" Ye Liangnai said gratefully upon hearing this.

Zetsu then disappeared underground, and Deva Path Pain and the others slowly vanished from Ye Liangnai's sight.

"That's really strong!"

Ye Liangnai watched Deva Path Pain disappear before her eyes before turning her gaze to the Daimyo of the Land of Water and the others.

Facing the entire Akatsuki Organization, including Deva Path Pain, he dared not let his guard down in the slightest.

Because this organization is very powerful!

So powerful that if the entire group were to invade any ninja village, no ninja village would be able to resist.

The best outcome will only be a lose-lose situation!

Even if they had an employer-employee relationship, he dared not let his guard down when facing such an opponent.

Death often results from a single moment of carelessness.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Upon seeing Ye Liangnai's gaze directed at them, the Daimyo of the Land of Water glared angrily, his throat churning with rage.

"Sir, should we release them?"

Looking at the daimyo and others from the Land of Water who were tied up like dumplings, Ye Liangnai had Anbu behind him ask for instructions.

"No need, let him be! I have a lot to discuss with the Daimyo of the Land of Water!"

Ye Liangnai wiped away the cold sweat from her confrontation with the Akatsuki Organization and resumed her usual smiling expression.

"Untie their mouths and let me hear how they feel right now!"

The Anbu was immediately ordered to carry out the task.

And the moment the great talker of the Land of Water was freed from his restraints—

His furious shout rang out, "You dare to collude with foreign enemies to kidnap a daimyo, Ye Liangnai! How dare you!"

"Hurry up and untie yourself to apologize, or believe me, I can wipe out Kirigakure with a single word!"

The ministers also shouted, "Ye Liangnai, I'm telling you, this isn't over!"

"Come over here and apologize, and I might consider letting bygones be bygones!"

"Ye Liangnai..."

The daimyo, ministers, and their sons all roared wildly, all demanding that Ye Liangnai be punished.

They were completely unaware of their current predicament.

They thought that Ye Liangnai wouldn't dare to kill them, and at most she would just humiliate them and vent her anger.

At worst, we can just intimidate them a little, and then we'll definitely sit down and negotiate with them calmly.

"Hmph, I'll show you what I'm capable of during the negotiations. I won't call myself the Minister of Etiquette if I don't make you lose everything!"

The Minister of Etiquette was still thinking bitterly to himself, "I've been so glorious for so many years, when have I ever been so humiliated!"

He has to get his face back!

Judging from the expressions of the other ministers, one can imagine that they were thinking similar things.

But--
