Do Adults Ever Get Serious with Children?

"How was it? Were you pleasantly surprised, or a little frustrated?"

"After fighting for so long, you only managed to take down one of my Water Clones?"

Ye Liangnai teased playfully, her expression as irritating as could be!

"However, your poison skills are quite good; you almost fell for it!"

These words only made things worse, sounding more like a provocation and enraging Masai even more.

"Let's see how many times you can dodge this!!"

Masai roared and fired a barrage of poison needles, then began forming hand seals. "Voodoo Technique!"

Black phantoms flew out from his body, emitting terrifying poisonous smoke, and approached Ye Liangnai.

Moreover, at Ye Liangnai's feet, Masai's two brothers also rushed towards her at lightning speed.

Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!

"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar Wall!"

Ye Liangnai shouted, and two attacks were launched simultaneously, one from the front and one from the back.

Masai quickly retreated, but screams of agony from the sea immediately came from the two Masai brothers.

The Lightning Pillar Wall, radiating terrifying lightning, protected Ye Liangnai inside.

Those phantom images also crashed into the lightning barrier.

"Bang! Bang!"

This black phantom was quite powerful, crashing into the lightning barrier with loud bangs.

Ye Liangnai looked closely and saw that they were insects that looked like they were cast in steel, emitting a metallic glow.

However, those who were struck by lightning fell into the sea and floated up.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

If Masai chooses to be on land, especially in the forest, Ye Liangnai might have a bit of a headache.

But the ocean is Ye Liangnai's forte.

Suddenly, three streaks of water shot out from underwater.

A beam of light, which was rushing straight down towards the Masai of the sea.

"Puff!"

Masai's left arm was pierced through, creating a chestnut-sized hole that caused him to fall to the ground with a scream.

The other two trails left two streaks of scarlet blood.

The next moment, two dark figures burst out from underwater and roared as they charged toward Ye Liangnai.

Both of the Masai brothers had a bloody hole the size of an egg in their hearts, a fatal wound.

"Whoosh!"

In Body Flicker Technique, Ye Liangnai appeared in front of Masai and plunged a knife into his chest.

They were too close to the Masai to react in time.

He didn't feel the pain until the long sword pierced through his chest and came into his sight.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Masai shouted, his face contorted with pain.

He simply couldn't understand it. Just a moment ago, Ye Liangnai had been so badly suppressed by him, and her life was in danger at one point.

How did he suddenly become like a god, completely dominating three opponents?

How can he be so strong!

"You're dragging me down with you..."

Hearing this, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but laugh. She slapped him and shouted, "Sealing Jutsu: Binding Flow Karma Curse!"

A black pattern spread across his entire body, sealing off his movements and Chakra.

"Unfortunately, you don't have that ability yet!"

Ye Liangnai drew her long sword, her gaze calmly sweeping over the Masai that had fallen into the water, and said.

"Why! Why have you suddenly become so strong!"

"Is this all you've got?" Masai asked, his face full of resentment.

"Full power? Where did you get that idea?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai chuckled and calmly retorted.

"Isn't this your full strength? Aren't we worthy of you using your full strength?"

Seeing the contempt on Ye Liangnai's face, Masai shouted angrily.

"Have you ever seen an adult actually do something serious with a child? To me, the three of you are just small fry."

"If you hurt me, wouldn't I be ruining my reputation as the number one Shinobi World?"

These words were so arrogant and infuriating that Masai's face contorted with anger, and he even felt like vomiting blood.

They put in so much effort, but in Ye Liangnai's eyes, it was just 'childish behavior'? Not worth his attention at all!

"Big brother, are you alright?"

"You're not allowed to hurt my older brother!"

At that moment, two loud shouts came from behind Ye Liangnai, followed by two whooshing sounds.

"Water Release · Water Wall Technique!"

Ye Liangnai formed a hand seal with one hand and created a wall of water around herself without turning her head.

Then, lightning crackled around him, and his right hand formed a hand seal. "Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

"Bang!"

Two dull thuds slammed into the water wall, failing to penetrate it at all, but were immediately followed by two screams.

Two merfolk-like monsters were enveloped in raging lightning and were being continuously wounded.

"Your two younger brothers are quite resilient. They can still move even with their hearts pierced. That's rare even in the entire Shinobi World!"

Ye Liangnai praised, then ruthlessly slashed with his sword.

"When you're hunting for prey in your next life, remember to assess your own capabilities first and act accordingly!"

The three heads flew into the air and were then caught in Ye Liangnai's hand and sealed into the scroll.

He was very interested in the poison techniques of this Masai and might be able to research something about it.

It was a day later when they returned to Kirigakure.

Ye Liangnai went straight to the Intelligence Department and handed over the heads of Masai and the other two to the people there, asking them to extract useful information from Masai's head.

Ye Liangnai then went to the Medical Department and handed over the Wood Release research data she had obtained from Orochimaru to the members of the specially established Medical Research Team.

Then, through communication with his Water Clones, he transferred one hundred death row inmates and transported them to Orochimaru.

Then, they began dealing with the affairs of the Anbu again.

Looking at the mountain of tasks, Ye Liangnai felt a headache coming on.

Even though Yagura Juzo Biwa have already taken on most of the tasks, there are still so many left.

Two days passed slowly.

In the past two days, some more things have happened in the Shinobi World.

Uchiha, a traitor from the Itachi Uchiha, became a member of the Akatsuki Organization.

He then appeared in Iwagakure and invited Deidara, a disciple of the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, to join the Akatsuki Organization.

The Kumogakure issued a 'Bounty Order,' offering a high price for the capture of Akatsuki Organization members.

Sasori of the Red Sands invaded the Land of Paint and committed a brutal massacre.

A force called the Sky Ninja Village attacked Konoha, attempting to seize the power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

He was eventually defeated by the Konoha Ninja and his whereabouts are unknown.

Before Ye Liangnai could receive any feedback from the Intelligence Department, the Medical Department's special team came knocking on her door.

"Ye Liangnai, we have something we'd like to discuss with you. Please don't be angry after hearing it!"

Looking at the six uneasy young talents in front of her, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but put down her pen out of curiosity and asked, "What's wrong? What problem have you encountered? Just tell me, I won't blame you!"

He was eager to know what kind of difficulties could have made these ambitious people come to him.

They each considered themselves geniuses, one in a hundred years, and looked down on everyone else.

"We..." The six of them stammered, unable to come up with a coherent answer for a long time.

It wasn't until Ye Liangnai looked displeased that one of the female ninjas mustered the courage to explain, "We can't understand the Wood Release materials you brought back!"
