Dust Settles

"Give up. You're the one who made things this bad. I've erased all related memories, so there's nothing I can do now!"

Shennong continued talking, as if it were all Ye Liangnai's fault.

But—

"What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't come here to beg you!"

Ye Liangnai interrupted Shennong's reverie, saying playfully, "I'm here just to share some good news with you."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his waist and spread it out in front of Shennong, saying, "I'm sorry, the kind of toxin you mentioned that can spread into a large-scale plague has already been conquered by our Medical Department ninjas!"

Upon hearing this, Shennong's eyes widened immediately. He rushed over, but accidentally tore open his wound, causing him to gasp in pain. Yet, his face remained filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible? How could my carefully prepared poison be countered? You must be lying to me. How could the ninjas of Kirigakure have such abilities!"

He absolutely refuses to accept this fact!

"Do I need you to admit whether it's true or not? Besides, I'm just here to let you know. Does it really matter whether you admit it or not?"

Ye Liangnai's words were so infuriating that they made one want to vomit blood. He put away the scroll and sneered, "Now, you can just wait to face your judgment. You'd better pray that you haven't done enough evil, otherwise, the people's anger will surely burn you to ashes!"

After saying that, he left without lingering for a moment, extremely carefree.

Shennong, on the other hand, sat slumped on the ground, utterly dejected, seemingly oblivious to the excruciating pain caused by the blood gushing from his body.

"How is that possible..."

"How could that be..."

His murmurs echoed continuously from inside the prison, lingering in the cramped and damp environment.

Outside world!

"Now we just have to wait for the Sky Ninja Village to arrive! Hurry up and come save Shennong!"

If he remembered correctly, the Sky Ninja Village seemed to have a huge aerial fortress, and he coveted it immensely.

In a world where being able to fly can be a form of capital, possessing an aerial fortress grants absolute dominance over the skies.

At that time, dominating the Shinobi World will not be a pipe dream.

I can hit whoever I want!

Just thinking about it makes him feel incredibly happy.

But he waited and waited, and the army of the Land of Water returned, and the officials who had committed the crimes were all tried.

Finally, even though the Juzo Biwa from Suchen Town had returned, the Sky Ninja Village still hadn't appeared.

Did I get stood up?

Ye Liangnai looked at the sky, a thought that gave him a headache popped into his head.

"Fine, if they don't want to come, they don't have to come! Shennong can make his judgment soon enough."

The anticipated good show didn't happen, which made him quite unhappy, so he stopped waiting and wasting time.

On the day Shennong made his judgment, the streets were deserted as everyone flocked to the city.

Ye Liangnai specifically chose Suchen Town as the location for her judgment.

As for Shennong's crimes, Ye Liangnai has already spread them throughout the entire Shinobi World through the communication network. Now, Shennong is like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone.

Completely ruined his reputation; it's like killing him and destroying his spirit.

"Kill him!"

"Burn this inhuman bastard!"

"Kill!"]

You think the verdict will be like this? That's impossible!

Ye Liangnai would never do that.

The things Shennong did were too sensitive and bloody to be known by the people of the Land of Water.

Taboo experiments are taboo in themselves; the fewer people who know about them, the better.

It's better to keep taboo knowledge out of the public's head.

Therefore, Shennong died silently in prison, and then all the other information in his mind was extracted in time.

After being categorized and classified by Ye Liangnai, the useful medical knowledge was compiled into a whole wall of scrolls, which became the textbook for the medical-nin of Kirigakure, enhancing their strength.

As for the forbidden knowledge in his mind, Ye Liangnai sealed it away, and if possible, he did not intend to let it appear in the world.

After that, Ye Liangnai arrived in Suchen Town!

"I've avenged you!"

Ye Liangnai arrived at the cemetery in Suchen Town, her face filled with sorrow.

In this cemetery lie all the innocent people killed by Shennong, as well as the innocent children who died in the orphanage.

Although Ye Liangnai didn't kill them with his own hands, he was still somewhat involved, so he should come and pay his respects, both morally and logically.

Upon returning to Kirigakure, Ye Liangnai immediately issued an order to the Land of Water.

The "Notice Regarding Prohibited Weapons" was issued, which listed in detail various prohibited weapons used by civilians.

"Starting today, all prohibited weapons in civilian hands must be surrendered. The Land of Water's Construction Department will introduce corresponding alternatives and provide appropriate compensation. This will not affect everyone's daily life."

Additionally, the last page of the notice includes a statement: If you see anyone acting suspiciously or carrying prohibited weapons, please report them.

Once the local authorities verify that the person is a dangerous individual, they will be able to receive a high-value reward anonymously.

Those whose professions require special weapons should register with the local authorities. Local authorities must not use this as a pretext for extortion; any violations will be severely punished.

The public may not react much to this notice, and may even have some complaints about it.

However, this was a bolt from the blue for those rebel forces who had managed to escape and intended to make a comeback.

If they can't see that this action is aimed at them, then they've truly wasted their lives.

"That's so insidious!!!"

They all cursed and swore; Ye Liangnai was driving them to their doom.

With the entire country acting as his eyes and ears, how can he possibly accomplish anything? He'll probably be reported by the public before he even gets a chance to do anything.

They felt like the end of the world was coming!

But this was not the end. The "Notice on Establishing Local Armed Forces in Towns" was issued, and from then on, every town in the Land of Water had its own armed forces.

And what it's meant to be used for is self-evident.

The rebel forces were essentially doomed.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

Many people in the Land of Water have given this a very high evaluation, saying that they would never come up with such a good idea.

"Now, those rebel forces are like rats crossing the street. How did you even come up with this idea, Xiao Ye? I really want to go inside your head and see what kind of structure it is, how could you come up with such a brilliant plan!"

Mei Terumi looked at Ye Liangnai with a sigh, which made Ye Liangnai speechless.

Mei Terumi is the Mizukage, the ruler of the Land of Water. Can't she be a little more serious?

"It's really strange that the Sky Ninja Village hasn't appeared yet. Could it be that they've abandoned Shennong?"

Ye Liangnai thought to herself, otherwise, how could she explain why this group of people hadn't shown up yet?
