Too Overbearing, Sis

"Elder, watch your words. We're merely purging internal threats. Don't pin the banner of rebellion on us!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"

With that, he openly departed with Mei Terumi, taking the Anbu with them.

Only Elder Genryu and Qian Taikang's corpse remained behind!

Elder Genryu indeed held great power, but that power relied on the Mizukage.

At certain times, there was truly nothing he, the elder, could do.

Just like earlier!

He could not command the Anbu at all, while Mei Terumi had a perfectly legitimate reason on her side.

"Damn it!!!"

Genryu wailed in grief. He had only this one son, yet now he had to watch his child die before him.

How tragic!

"I won't let you off, Mei Terumi!"

"The Mizukage will surely enforce the law impartially and give me justice!"

But Genryu was destined to be disappointed. After Mizukage Yagura learned of the matter, he did indeed impartially summon the two to confront one another in court.

Yet in the end, Mei Terumi was sentenced to one month of imprisonment for reflection and had her salary withheld for a month.

Her charge was improper handling of the situation!

In other words, Mizukage Yagura did not believe Mei Terumi had been wrong to kill Qian Taikang. Only her method had been wrong.

The reason for this outcome was that Mei Terumi had also produced plenty of Qian Taikang's shameful crimes.

Such as embezzling emergency supplies, persecuting female ninja, bullying the disabled and wounded, and so on.

Faced with such evidence, the Mist Ninja were furious.

Genryu had not held much of an advantage to begin with, and now he lost it entirely.

Genryu broke down!

His son was actually such a villain? Impossible! How had he not known?

"That is what they mean by darkness beneath the lamp!"

"You've been so occupied with your duties. How could you have had the time to concern yourself with such matters?"

As Mei Terumi was about to head to prison, she passed Genryu and spoke those words.

They immediately made Genryu clench his fists again. He said coldly, "Mei Terumi, don't get too pleased with yourself!"

"As long as this old man lives, you'd better watch yourself!"

At that moment, he was like a venomous snake, ready to strike at anyone!

Having lost his son, he no longer had anything to fear!

"Then I'll be waiting to see who the final winner is!"

Mei Terumi smiled, her face brimming with confidence.

Being imprisoned for a month might have been torment for others.

But for Mei Terumi, the former head of the Anbu, it was no different from going home.

Because everyone in there was one of her people!

Two days later, Ye Liangnai woke up!

Everyone in the medical ward could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They had been terrified that something might happen to him. If it did, their doomsday would truly arrive.

After Qian Taikang's death, they had come to understand how terrifying Mei Terumi was.

She had killed a heavyweight member of the elder council like Qian Taikang, yet all she received was one month in prison.

If she killed them, she might only receive a verbal reprimand or two.

"What? Sis was imprisoned?"

When Ye Liangnai heard about this, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What had happened? How had things become so sudden?

Once he learned the full details, Ye Liangnai could not help but gape in astonishment.

"Damn, that was way too domineering. She just killed Qian Taikang outright! He was the Elder's son!"

All he could say was: well done!

Trash like Qian Taikang would only have remained a scourge if left alive.

He felt proud to have such a protective and formidable sister.

"But this has completely offended that bastard Genryu! I'll have to be more careful from now on!"

Two more days passed, and Ye Liangnai fully recovered before leaving the hospital.

He first went to visit Mei Terumi, then reported to the Anbu.

After being informed that he would carry out a mission in three days, he finally returned home to recuperate and train.

If he wanted to control his own fate and change Kirigakure, he still had a long road ahead!

Yet after this incident, whenever the ninja in the village looked at Ye Liangnai, their gazes inevitably held a little more envy.

Who would not want a protective older sister like Mei Terumi?

Of course, the elder council now utterly hated Ye Liangnai.

And the vacant elder position left by Qian Taikang's death was filled by Ao of the Byakugan.

He was also one of Mei Terumi's people.

"Hehe, fight. Go ahead and fight as much as you want."

"Better yet, tear Kirigakure into pieces. Then I'll come out and clean up the mess!"

Inside the Mizukage's Office, Obito Uchiha looked at the increasingly oppressive Kirigakure and spoke with immense excitement.

He did not know that because of his "indulgence," someone was seizing every moment to grow stronger.

Then, that person planned to drive him out and restore Kirigakure to its former state.

He only believed that he was the mastermind behind it all.

Little did he know that someone had long since obtained the script to clear the entire game.

Somewhere in the ninja world, Ringo Ameyuri leaned against a tree, covered in wounds and panting.

Beside her, Hozuki Suigetsu and Shima Isshin were in the same condition.

"Congratulations. You've successfully completed another high-difficulty mission!" their captain praised.

But Ringo Ameyuri showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, she clenched her fists and said dissatisfiedly, "Not enough, not enough! It's still not enough!"

"That guy Ye Liangnai can already kill enemies at the level of a Special Jonin. How can I lose to him!"

Hozuki Suigetsu and Shima Isshin both nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with refusal to admit defeat.

Hearing this, their captain said, "Haste makes waste. I advise you not to be so impatient!"

"No matter how monstrous Ye Liangnai is, it doesn't change the fact that he is already twelve years old!"

"When you reach his age, you won't possibly be worse than him! By then, he'll only be able to look up at you from behind!"

After hearing that, the three of them looked much better and deeply agreed.

Even though they could currently only deal with enemies at the Chunin level.

In the future, they would definitely become even more monstrous than Ye Liangnai!

Definitely!

Three days later.

Since he had only just recovered from serious injuries, tempering his body and replenishing his vitality were his top priorities.

Therefore, Ye Liangnai only earned 30,000 Enhancement Points over those three days.

After enhancing his final attribute, Strength,

he used the remaining 11,000 Enhancement Points to strengthen Water Wall Technique and Binding Technique once more.

Ninjutsu: Water Wall Technique

Second Enhancement Points: 5000

Effect after enhancement: Chakra consumption reduced by half, density increased threefold, casting speed increased by 2.5 times.

Rank after enhancement: A

Remaining enhancement attempts: 0

--

Illusion Technique: Binding Technique

Second Enhancement Points: 6000

Effect after enhancement: Chakra consumption unchanged; control effect and duration increased threefold (initial duration: 3 seconds).

Rank after enhancement: A

Remaining enhancement attempts: 2

Now, even a Jonin would have a hard time doing anything to me in a short time, right?

Ye Liangnai rose from the bathtub, dried himself off, put on his Anbu uniform, and headed out to report for duty.
