Hidden Masters Among the Common Folk
This scroll contains the contents of a complete Poison Arts Compendium.
According to Ye Liangnai's own understanding.
He felt that even if this manual couldn't compare to Sasori of the Red Sands, Tsunade and the others, it wouldn't be too far off.
That is, the difference between ten and nine!
"Sir, there is another piece of intelligence here."
"According to the Intelligence Department, there's a conspiracy in this Ting Country. Please read this and make a decision as soon as possible!" The member of the Anbu handed another scroll to Ye Liangnai.
"Oh? Is there a conspiracy?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai took the document and frowned immediately.
After a long silence, he sneered, "The Ting Country is really quite bold!"
"They really dare to dream, thinking they can rule the Shinobi World with their mediocre skills? There's a limit to overestimating yourself!"
Ye Liangnai put down the scroll, took out a mission scroll, picked up a pen and began to write, saying, "Dispatch Tenshin to lead a team of twelve, including Hozuki Suigetsu, Shima Isshin Jurota, Kuranosuke, to investigate!"
"If an unfavorable situation is discovered, you can make your own decision!"
Having said that, he put down his pen, rolled up the intelligence and mission scrolls in his hand again, and handed them to the Anbu to relay the orders.
"Oh, right, pass this Poison Arts Compendium on to Mizukage and let her decide on its use!"
Ye Liangnai then picked up a scroll detailing Masai's poison skills and handed it to the Anbu, who immediately took his leave!
"While the frog in the well may seem laughable, we must not let our guard down. What if it's a group of poison dart frogs?"
(Poison dart frog: The mucus secreted from its back is highly poisonous; even a small amount is enough to kill an elephant.)
Muttering this to herself, Ye Liangnai stretched, glanced at the scrolls on the table that hadn't diminished, gave a wry smile, and continued working on them.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Land of Water!
"I underestimated the strength of these Five Great Ninja Villages. I didn't expect that even with the Zero-Tails being so strong, it's still not enough."
"Since that's the case, then I'll take it slow and gradually make Zero-Tails stronger. The day I reign supreme over the Shinobi World will eventually come!"
A kind-looking man carrying a medicine box murmured softly.
No one would expect this to be a villain.
Time slowly passed, and more than half a year went by.
February, Konoha Year 57, Kirigakure Anbu!
"My lord, the Ting Country has been destroyed!"
Ye Liangnai 'Tenshin former captain, knelt before him and reported.
"Who did this?"
Ye Liangnai asked while handling her affairs.
Tenshin replied, "It's the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure!"
"The people of the Ting Country caused immense destruction to the Land of Lightning and resulted in the deaths of five hundred Cloud Ninja from poisoning. The Fourth Raikage and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning are furious."
"The Fourth Raikage personally led his army to suppress the rebellion and destroyed the Ting Country!"
He paused briefly to gather his thoughts before continuing.
"But the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has kept this matter a secret, so not many people know about it!"
"However, the people in this Ting Country are indeed very powerful. They have caused quite a bit of trouble in the Land of Fire, the Land of Whirlpools, and our vassal allies, the Land of Waves and the Land of Flow."
"Fortunately, they responded in time, preventing further damage!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai nods and sighs, "There are indeed many hidden masters in the Shinobi World, and we cannot be too complacent!"
"Even if the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning tries to block the news, the Ting Country will still be known to everyone in the Shinobi World!"
"Hopefully, the fate of the Ting Country will calm down some of the restless ones. If they want to cause trouble, they'll have to see if we, their big brothers, agree!"
After handing over the mission to Tenshin, Ye Liangnai also finished dealing with all her affairs and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He stretched and sighed, "Finally, I can get some rest!"
As Ye Liangnai strolled into the street, many people looked at her with admiration and greeted her with great Ye Liangnai.
In response to this situation, Ye Liangnai simply waved to them calmly and then quickly slipped away.
He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would be surrounded and unable to leave.
Ye Liangnai didn't know how many of these people were genuinely sincere and how many were just being polite.
But what he knew was that he was now the most popular handsome guy in Kirigakure.
This began after he led Kirigakure to victory against Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha.
Among those who welcomed him, there must have been many who had initially criticized and complained about him.
Therefore, Ye Liangnai didn't harbor much malice towards these people.
Of course, I have absolutely no good feelings towards them.
Ye Liangnai arrived at a yakiniku restaurant, ready to treat herself.
Of course, in order to cause an unnecessary sensation, he changed his face.
However, as soon as he sat down, the sound coming from the next seat caught his attention.
"Have you heard? Our Kirigakure won second place in the medical competition held two months ago!"
"Really! Is our Kirigakure's representative team that strong?"
"Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes. Now let's see who dares to say that our Kirigakure's medical technology is inadequate!"
A man dressed like a businessman said with a triumphant look on his face.
"Hmph, the only reason your Kirigakure was able to win the championship is because of the excellent teaching from Konoha. Without their help in establishing a medical system for you, could you have defeated the Land of Whirlpools team?"
"That's right, it was just a fluke, there's nothing to be proud of."
"Our Land of Whirlpools simply had an off day. In the next competition, we will definitely crush them and leave them no chance to even turn the tables!"
At that moment, two arrogant voices came from a table opposite Ye Liangnai.
The two young men dressed in fine clothes looked displeased.
"Hmph, a loss is a loss, why make excuses!"
"Exactly! They're just making excuses because they're not as skilled as others!"
"I remember that Konoha taught the Land of Whirlpools medical technology, and even gave them special attention! They still lost to us like that; it just shows how weak you guys really are!!"
Ye Liangnai's neighbor immediately retorted, showing no sign of backing down.
"Hmph, you only won because of good luck. If your Kirigakure hadn't suddenly acquired a Poison Arts Compendium, how could you have possibly solved that last question!"
"Our medical technology is so advanced! If we had that manual, we could even defeat Konoha. How could we be trampled underfoot and relegated to third place!"
The two young men, unconvinced, argued again.
"Hmph, then you should show us your secret manuals! You say we were lucky? So what if we were lucky? Luck is also a part of strength!"
"We won second place fair and square, without cheating or resorting to trickery. What do you have to complain about!"
"I think you guys are just typical sour grapes!"
The three people sitting next to Ye Liangnai were truly eloquent, and the two from Land of Whirlpools who were arguing were indeed gritting their teeth, but they couldn't get a single point out of the truth.
