"Oh no, he's going to get his hands on the Nako Stone!"
As the two looked into the water, they saw that Ye Liangnai, using some unknown method, had bypassed Might Guy Kisame Hoshigaki's obstruction and had already grabbed the Nako Stone.
"Stop him! Don't let him break through the water! The Nako Stone must not be taken away by him!"
"If we can successfully keep him in the water, he won't last long!"
Not everyone can breathe underwater like Kisame Hoshigaki, a shark-man.
A normal ninja can hold their breath underwater for no more than five minutes.
Within the Cloud Ninja group, Ye Liangnai's Water Clone looked at the real body in the water and feigned surprise, saying, "So that's White Cold Light? He's unbelievably young!"
"Is it because of you that the Lord Raikage suspects me?! I really want to fight you!"
His words made Dou Lang raise an eyebrow, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
In the water!
"You don't want me to leave? There are two even more dangerous enemies eyeing me!"
"Oh dear, you really need to be skilled to play this game!"
Ye Liangnai grinned, revealing a rather amused smile.
"Fighting against our own people in Kirigakure is really exciting!"
"But there's no other way. It's all worth it for this Nako Stone and the treasure hidden behind it!"
"It would be such a waste to hand over such a treasure to a daimyo. Good things should be used where they are needed!"
Ye Liangnai's plan is to take it all for herself!
Then, after he finished his mission in Kirigakure, he took the stone tablet back to Mei Terumi so that she could use it as funds for the future development of Kirigakure.
"Then let me see if you can stop me!"
With the Nako Stone strapped to her back, Ye Liangnai unleashed her Chakra.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the water surface began to boil and roar.
A powerful force surged forth, catching Kisame Hoshigaki and Might Guy off guard and sending them flying backward.
Ye Liangnai was like a ship cutting through the waves, rushing towards the surface of the water at high speed.
"The Seventh Gate of Wonder, open!"
But immediately, Might Guy's deep voice came from behind him.
Ye Liangnai felt a chill run down her spine, and her whole body involuntarily tensed up.
"Boom!"
An even more powerful aura of Chakra surged forth, creating a gap in the lake that Kisame Hoshigaki had created.
The people on the water paled and quickly retreated, as it was impossible to stand on the water.
"Kai, stop! This will only help him escape!"
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately shouted, telling Might Guy to stop attacking.
"Tenzo, capture him!"
Kakashi then shouted at Tenzo behind him, instructing him to attack Ye Liangnai in the water.
"Zabuza, and so should we! Capture him! The Nako Stone cannot be taken by this person of unknown origin!"
Juzo Biwa also called for the Mist Ninja to attack.
"I can't give you that chance, or I'll definitely die!"
Thanks to the burst of Chakra Might Guy just now, he's almost at the surface of the water.
Faced with the prospect of everyone attacking him, he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch.
He can't handle being attacked by so many people at once!
"Water Release · Water Wall Technique!"
The Water Wall Technique is quite interesting; it can be used as both a defensive and offensive technique, creating tidal waves to repel people.
The power of the Water Wall Technique, which was enhanced to the level of an A-rank ninjutsu, was unimaginable when activated by Ye Liangnai at the Kage Level.
Just like possessing the strength of a giant, this ten-meter-high tidal wave was simply impossible to resist.
Everyone was completely pushed back, and all their ninjutsu hand seals were interrupted.
"Farewell, everyone, we'll meet again someday!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Liangnai instantly burst out of the water and rushed into the dense forest.
"Chase!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Upon seeing this, the people from the Three Great Shinobi Villages shouted in unison and then gave chase!
Just kidding, the elites of three ninja villages went out together, only to be intercepted by a ninja of unknown origin. Where would their face be then!
"Hehe, that's so exciting!"
Facing the crowd chasing after her, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but smile. This feeling of excitement that made her whole body tense was just too wonderful!
Then, he formed another hand seal, turned around, and sprayed a thick mist at the pursuing crowd, which rapidly enveloped the surrounding area.
Now that Ye Liangnai has enough Chakra, covering a kilometer or two is no problem at all.
If it weren't for the need to keep his identity secret, he really wanted to use a Lightning Release on the spur of the moment.
"Jinghong, chase! You have experience fighting against the Mist Concealment Technique!"
As soon as he was enveloped in the mist, Dou Lang shouted at Ye Liangnai's Water Clone beside him.
"I understand, but this guy's Mist Concealment Technique is really something else. I don't have complete confidence in it!"
Having said that, the Water Clone rushed out and disappeared from the Dou Lang's sight in an instant.
Jue, who was observing all of this from a short distance away, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"What's wrong, Jue? Your expression gives me a bad feeling!"
Kakuzu keenly noticed the expression on his face and asked a question.
"This White Cold Light fellow's Mist Concealment Technique has blocked my senses!"
"He's hiding in the fog, and I have absolutely no way of knowing what's going on with him!" Jue said seriously.
"What a cunning fellow!"
Upon hearing his words, Kakuzu couldn't help but praise him.
"But it's alright, he can't stay in the fog for long. Keep a close eye on the surroundings, he'll come out eventually!" Kakuzu calmly instructed Zetsu.
He refused to believe that with someone as perceptive as Zetsu, Ye Liangnai could possibly escape.
The Nako Stone belongs to their Akatsuki Organization!
"It's appeared! It's at the edge of the fog, heading towards the canyon in our nine o'clock direction!"
Zetsu spoke again, Kakuzu had already stood up, said, "Hidan, time to get to work!"
Hidan: "Honestly, you had to drag this out until now when it could have been resolved much earlier!"
His face showed considerable impatience and deep dissatisfaction!
He strongly disapproved of Kakuzu's approach of simply watching from the sidelines without intervening.
If it were up to his nature, he could have just charged straight in; after all, no one could have done anything to him!
Why wait here for so long, when there's a chance the target might escape?
"You're being naive. With so many people around, do you think I'd have time to stitch you up?"
"I'll be grateful if you don't drag me down. You don't actually think that group of people are all weirdos, do you?"
Kakuzu snorted coldly and said to Hidan with considerable dissatisfaction.
"Huh? Kakuzu, you actually called me a burden?!"
Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately became displeased!
But Kakuzu had already left, giving him no chance to complain.
Seeing this, Hidan could only stomp his feet and curse a couple of times before following after them.
