Lord Raikage, I Really Didn't Do It on Purpose

"Lord Raikage, Kirigakure has won! Ye Liangnai led two thousand Mist Ninja to victory over Konoha!"

At that moment, a weary-looking Anbu appeared before the Fourth Raikage and reported.

"Asshole!!!"

Upon hearing this news, Raikage roared in fury, terrifying lightning crackling from his body, and all his wounds burst open.

Then, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

"Lord Raikage!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding medical-nin turned pale with shock and gasped in disbelief.

The member of the Anbu looked completely bewildered, and a little sweat was breaking out on his forehead!

His report seemed to come at an inopportune time.

Moreover, he really didn't do it on purpose.

"Achoo!"

Ye Liangnai sneezed, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"What's with this feeling? Is someone eyeing me?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? It must be my imagination!" Ye Liangnai shook her head, denying it in her heart.

How could anyone have designs on a model young man like him, a good kid who follows the rules?

Meanwhile, in Kirigakure!

"We won, didn't we? As expected of Xiao Ye!"

After receiving the news, Mei Terumi smiled gently, seemingly unsurprised.

Of course, this was only on the surface; in reality, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Opposite her sat a man with an extremely gloomy and unpleasant expression.

"So, Rainbow Kage, do you agree to this compensation demand or not?"

"You'd better think this through. Your answer concerns the lives and safety of nearly ten thousand people in Rainbow Ninja Village!"

"If Xiao Ye finds out that you dared to attack Kirigakure, do you think he'll just wipe out your Rainbow Ninja Village?"

Mei Terumi's bright eyes sparkled as she rested her chin on her hands, gazing alluringly at the man opposite her—the leader of the Rainbow Ninja Village, Rainbow Kage Anjuurou —with a radiant smile on her face!

Normally, Mei Terumi's alluring posture would surely attract Anjuurou's attention.

He stared at Mei Terumi with an extremely aggressive gaze, wishing he could peel away her layers and cherish her!

But right now, Anjuurou wasn't in the mood for that. He felt that Mei Terumi was a poisonous spider and a beautiful snake.

Mei Terumi is not someone to be trifled with!

He originally intended to take advantage of Kirigakure's extreme weakness and Ye Liangnai's departure with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

He conquered Kirigakure, captured Mei Terumi, took over Kirigakure's vast territory, realized his dream of becoming a great ninja village, and rose to the pinnacle of the Shinobi World.

Originally, he thought that Mei Terumi's two thousand or so remnants could not possibly be a match for the elite troops of his Rainbow Ninja Village.

Moreover, he never thought that Mei Terumi was that strong.

In his eyes, Mei Terumi's achievements today are all thanks to her younger brother Ye Liangnai.

But who would have thought that these were the remnants of the army that he had completely disregarded?

However, it only took them a day and a night to defeat his army and capture him.

It wasn't until he actually Mei Terumi that he realized how wrong he had been.

Mei Terumi is weak?

He's not weak at all; the one suppressing him is suffocating!

He was defeated and captured by Mei Terumi in less than an hour.

The originally envisioned scene of evenly matched strength, or even a triumphant defeat of Mei Terumi, turned out to be as fragile as Utakata, utterly unrealistic.

Only after being captured did he realize how naive he had been.

Like a frog at the bottom of a well, daring to provoke a tiger, it's utterly courting death.

"Can't you offer less? Your demands are outrageous!"

Anjuurou gritted his teeth, his face extremely unpleasant.

"Too much?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi couldn't help but laugh, a rather dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Looks like you haven't grasped the situation yet. You don't think you still have room to bargain, do you?"

"Fine, then let Xiao Ye come back and have him talk to you. I think you'll think I'm very kind then!"

After saying this, Mei Terumi got up and left. Two Anbu captured Anjuurou, dragged him up, and escorted him away.

"Wait... I... I agree... that's all!"

Just as he was about to be escorted away, Anjuurou said weakly.

"Hehehe, a wise choice!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi turned around and sat back down, taking out a scroll and handing it to Anjuurou. "Sign it!"

Anjuurou was also brought back. Trembling, he picked up the pen on the table and signed his name in a crooked manner.

After signing, I felt as if all my strength had been drained away. My legs went weak and I collapsed to the ground, my face ashen.

The scroll read, "Compensation of 100,000 taels of silver, opening of five trading ports, to be directly administered by Kirigakure."

The Land of Rainbows shall not interfere with or levy taxes for a period of fifty years.

The Land of Rainbows established trade relations with the Land of Water, granting the Land of Water a 30% trade surplus.

The country ceded the Kusuo Archipelago, recognized the Land of Water and the Land of Rainbows as the sole allies, and accepted the deployment of troops by the Land of Water.

The content, described as nothing short of predatory, is shocking.

Signing such a treaty would set back the economy of the Land of Rainbows by at least fifty years.

No wonder Anjuurou is like this!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a sinner of the Land of Rainbows!

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate. I urge your country to fulfill the terms of this treaty as soon as possible!"

Mei Terumi put away the scroll, her smile as devilish as a demon's.

Don't blame her for being heartless; reality is just that cruel.

If Kirigakure loses, they too will face the same fate of being exploited.

Upon hearing this, Anjuurou clenched his fists in humiliation and helplessness, and then fainted.

That was a huge blow.

On the other side!

"Impossible! Ye Liangnai actually won! This can't be real!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it must be fake, it's fake, right!"

Inside the dungeon, the daimyo of the Land of Water shouted in utter panic, his eyes bloodshot with terror, pacing anxiously back and forth.

He absolutely refuses to acknowledge that Ye Liangnai has won!

Ye Liangnai won, which means he lost!

And the consequences of his defeat were dire!

Upon hearing this, the Anbu waiting outside remained silent as if they hadn't heard a word.

While he was in a panic, the court of the Land of Water was also plunged into a state of shock.

At first, no one thought that Ye Liangnai could succeed.

Is it even possible for a ninja to seize power and change the era name?

Even if the forces within the Land of Water are forced to agree due to his military threat, will the daimyo of other countries agree?

Of course not!

As they had predicted, major powers such as the Land of Fire dispatched troops to besiege Kirigakure.

I thought that Ye Liangnai would be utterly defeated and crushed to pieces by the four great ninja villages!

But who would have thought that he would defeat Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and even Konoha in succession?

According to reliable sources, Kumogakure was attacked by an unknown force and suffered heavy losses, possibly leading to their abandonment of the attack.
