The Plot Begins

"Whatever, if they don't come, they don't come. I'll just keep watch!"

With such a large Kirigakure, there's no need for him to expend too much effort to guard against a Sky Ninja Village.

So, where is the Sky Ninja Village now?

Nobody knows!

One day, however, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the Land of Water, accompanied by a brief tremor like an earthquake, and the Kakkō illuminated an area of several hundred kilometers around.

It was as if a giant meteorite had fallen to the ground.

When the Land of Water and even the Kirigakure sent people to investigate, they came to a conclusion that greatly surprised Ye Liangnai.

"You're saying this was caused by the crash of the Sky Ninja Village's warship?"

Looking at the huge crater in front of her, which was over five thousand meters in diameter, Ye Liangnai said with a blank expression.

"Yes, Ye Liangnai, the preliminary assessment is that the warship crashed due to insufficient energy! All personnel perished in the explosion!"

A man who looked like a scientist pushed up his reading glasses and answered.

"Understood. Send men to seal off this area and see if we can find anything useful!"

Ye Liangnai ordered the area to be sealed off. Fortunately, it was far from the residential area, so there were no casualties and it did not attract too many onlookers.

To the outside world, the explanation is naturally that it was caused by a meteorite falling; otherwise, busybodies would have surrounded the area.

However, the crisis in the Sky Ninja Village officially came to an end with this dramatic ending.

Feeling that things in the Land of Water and Kirigakure were all on track, Ye Liangnai resigned from her position as head of the Anbu.

However, she was rejected by Mizukage Mei Terumi on the grounds that the timing was not right.

Helpless, Ye Liangnai had no choice but to continue serving as the head of the Anbu, dealing with affairs in a depressed manner, with no time to wander around.

During this period, the skill level of the Medical Department ninjas also steadily improved.

This is thanks to Shennong's profound knowledge, which opened the door to New World for many people, allowing them to draw inferences and greatly expand their own abilities.

Furthermore, outstanding individuals were granted the qualification to learn the Floating Pulse Technique, which significantly improved their skills and efficiency.

As a result, Wood Release Ye Liangnai resumed his research on Wood Release.

Moreover, because they had learned the Floating Pulse Technique, they had the clearest and most intuitive understanding of all the changes that occurred during the experiment.

This is something even Orochimaru couldn't do.

"It seems that it won't be long before I see Kirigakure wealth of talented individuals, a situation where the younger generation is truly formidable!"

The head of the Anbu, who had taken a break from his busy schedule to sneak out for a drink to clear his head, was caught red-handed by the Mizukage, and thus remarked.

The Shinobi World thus peacefully reached Konoha's 60th year!

"Attribute: Energy enhancement successful, reaching the Super Kage Level. This enhancement cost 1 million Enhancement Points!"

"Attribute: Strength enhancement successful, reaching the Super Kage Level. This enhancement cost 1 million Enhancement Points!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully synthesizing the Kekkei Genkai: Storm Release!"

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully enhanced your ordinary iron sword and obtained your exclusive weapon: Delusion Breaker!"

"..."

In a room in Kirigakure, a person exhaled softly, suppressed the light flowing around their body, opened their eyes, and stood up.

The moment he opened his eyes, the air in the room seemed to tremble.

Those waiting outside the room felt their hair stand on end instantly, as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast, and their hearts were filled with panic.

"Three years have passed, time flies!"

The person in the room sighed, took down a piece of clothing hanging on the wall, put it on, and then pushed open the door and went out.

"Ye Liangnai- sama!!"

The sunlight outside was quite dazzling, and the man couldn't help but squint. But then he heard a respectful voice in his ear.

Once his eyes had adjusted to the light, he opened them. Two rows of Mist Ninja stood respectfully outside, all looking at him with great excitement.

This person was none other than Ye Liangnai!

"Let's disperse!"

Ye Liangnai waved to the people and then headed towards the Mizukage Building in front of the room.

Mizukage's Office!

"You're here?"

That Ye Liangnai pushed open the door and entered. Mei Terumi, who was handling some business, didn't even look up.

"Sister, you're still as busy as ever. Maybe you should reconsider my suggestion from before. Don't overwork yourself!"

Ye Liangnai sat down next to him, grabbed an apple, took a bite, and said, "Look how relaxed I am now. I've handed over the position of head of the Anbu to Yagura. All I have to do is worry about the Land of Water Shogunate when I have nothing to do!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's face immediately darkened. She raised her head, revealing a murderous smile, and said, "Then may I ask, little Ye Liangnai, did you come here just to show off these things to me?"

Without a doubt, judging from her calm before the storm, if Ye Liangnai answered "yes," Ye Liangnai would be in deep trouble.

"Hey, how could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of boring person?"

Ye Liangnai waved her hand, ignoring Mei Terumi's murderous expression, and said, "I'm just here for a stroll. If you don't welcome me, I'll leave right away!"

With that, he got up to leave!

"Stop!"

Mei Terumi parted her cherry lips slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across her increasingly alluring face, and said, "Since you're so free, here's a task for you! I don't think you'll refuse!"

Without waiting for Ye Liangnai's reply, Mei Terumi tossed a scroll directly to Ye Liangnai.

Ye Liangnai took it and opened it. The contents of the letter said that a merchant from the Land of Waves wanted to trade some antiques with them.

"I don't need to go myself for this, right, sister? What do you say..."

Just as Ye Liangnai was about to refuse, she saw that Mei Terumi's expression suddenly became even more unfriendly, her eyes looking like she could devour someone. Ye Liangnai immediately swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Hey, it's just a mission in the Land of Waves, I'll go!"

Ye Liangnai changed her mind so quickly that Mei Terumi finally hummed in satisfaction and sat back down.

"By the way, we've made some progress on the Ringo Ameyuri, the 'Blood Sun Flower,' but the chances of obtaining it are almost zero. The last one disappeared thirty years ago!"

"Unless we can go back thirty years, Ringo Ameyuri can only wait to die! Even if we can keep her alive with other drugs, I don't think Ringo Ameyuri!"

Hearing Mei Terumi's words, Ye Liangnai frowned and asked, "Really not? They really disappeared thirty years ago?"

"Yes!" Mei Terumi handed another scroll to Ye Liangnai and sighed, "Perhaps even the heavens aren't on our side!"

"No, there might still be a way!"

But after reading the contents of the scroll, Ye Liangnai suddenly said firmly.
