Isn't This a Bit Too Ruthless?

She ought to be worried about Ye Liangnai's opponents now.

Facing such a monster had to be a huge headache, right?

Ye Liangnai merely smiled at that.

Meanwhile, at the Mizukage's Office!

"Has the Kaguya Clan truly decided to rebel? They actually dare to openly defy my orders!"

Seated in the main chair was a man who looked like a child, with green hair, purple eyes, and a stitched scar beneath his left eye. He spoke in a low, icy voice.

He was none other than the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura!

Elder Genryu said, "That appears to be the case for now."

"Their existence is an unstable factor that threatens Kirigakure's peace and stability!"

"Mizukage-sama, shall we eliminate them?"

Yagura gave a cold laugh. "Of course! Since they're seeking death, I'll grant them their wish!"

"I'll make them understand that opposing the village leads only to death!"

"Go handle it, Yuan Long. I trust you'll give me a satisfactory answer!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Long immediately took his leave.

Yuan Long did not need to ask what a satisfactory answer meant.

Show no mercy!

Until the entire clan was exterminated!

Just like the Hozuki Clan and the Yuki Clan, which had declined in recent years!

Thus, Yuan Long immediately convened a meeting of the council of elders and worked out a corresponding plan with the Anbu.

In the end, they devised a meticulous extermination plan.

At the same time, they decided to have the new Anbu recruits join this battle as well.

They would be baptized in blood and grow quickly.

When Mei Terumi returned in the middle of the night and told Ye Liangnai about this, he was instantly stunned!

"The battle to wipe out the Kaguya Clan? Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a little too harsh?"

"We're just genin, and we're already being sent to face such an insane clan?"

Even Ye Liangnai felt his scalp tingle, let alone everyone else.

Oh, though the others didn't know about it!

Yohoho.

The next day!

When Tian Jia and the other squad captains informed the new Anbu recruits of this matter,

the recruits immediately erupted.

There was excitement, hesitation, fear, and calmness!

But regardless of their reactions, refusing this mission was never an option.

Because refusal meant only death.

"The Kaguya Clan, huh? That really makes my whole body tense up!"

Ye Liangnai was not sure whether his current strength would be enough to keep himself alive.

Anyway, I should try my best not to stand out too much!

Otherwise, if some powerhouse notices me, my little life will be over! Ye Liangnai thought to himself.

Elsewhere!

With such a huge commotion in Kirigakure, it was impossible for the Kaguya Clan not to react at all.

In fact, they had been dissatisfied with Yagura for a long time.

He had assigned the Kaguya Clan to guard Kirigakure's gates, yet refused to give them the treatment they deserved.

Instead, the Kaguya Clan often suffered disdain and exclusion.

No one could tolerate such treatment, much less the hot-tempered, violent, battle-loving Kaguya Clan.

Coupled with political suppression and restrictions on resources, the conflict between the Kaguya Clan and Kirigakure had become increasingly irreconcilable.

Then yesterday, they heard that Yagura intended to wipe out the Kaguya Clan.

How could they endure it any longer!

"Kirigakure is no longer worth it! Brothers, overthrow it and usher in a new era!"

"Overthrow Kirigakure!"

"Usher in a new era!!"

The Kaguya Clan members were fired up, and they charged directly toward the center of Kirigakure.

The Kaguya Clan's swift arrival was something none of Kirigakure's higher-ups had expected.

They had clearly sealed off the news very well. There should have been no possibility of a leak.

Yet reality was that just as they were preparing to set out,

the Kaguya Clan came charging in like a pack of fierce tigers, catching the Mist Ninja completely off guard!

"Damn it! Who leaked the news? This old man won't spare him!"

Even Yuan Long could no longer remain composed. He roared furiously.

But anger was useless now. Successfully suppressing the Kaguya Clan was what mattered.

It would not be too late to investigate who had leaked the news afterward!

"Hehehe, you bastards of Kirigakure, die!"

"I've hated the sight of you for a long time! Go meet the God of Death!"

Once the Kaguya Clan entered combat, they were no different from madmen.

Frenzied and direct.

As the strongest clan in Taijutsu so far, the Kaguya Clan possessed formidable strength.

It was clear from the way countless Mist Ninja were sent flying and heavy casualties appeared in an instant.

High defense, quick reactions, powerful attacks—those were the traits of the Kaguya Clan.

And just as the battle began,

in a place no one noticed, a man wearing an orange mask appeared!

As he watched the scene unfold, his eyes were filled with hatred and the thrill of revenge.

"Everyone in Kirigakure, keep slaughtering one another. Feel pain and despair!"

"This is the price for your mistakes. All of you must bear responsibility for Rin's death!"

"Rin, don't worry. I won't let Kirigakure off so easily. I'll make them sink completely and be buried with you!"

He was the one who had leaked the news that Kirigakure intended to eliminate the Kaguya Clan.

He was also the one who had manipulated Yagura into giving the Kaguya Clan unfair treatment.

What he wanted was to stir up Kirigakure's internal conflicts and make the Mist Ninja slaughter one another.

The Hozuki Clan and the Yuki Clan had also withered away and perished in the same manner.

With a turn of his hand, he could make clouds; with another, rain!

The deeper Kirigakure's conflicts became and the more people died, the happier he was.

Back to Ye Liangnai!

"Brat, die!"

A young man from the Kaguya Clan set his sights on Ye Liangnai.

The bones formed by his Shikotsumyaku turned into sharp spikes and viciously stabbed toward him.

Ye Liangnai's scalp tingled, and he immediately retreated.

This man was only around chunin level, but his defense was far too strong.

Ye Liangnai tested him and found that most of his methods were useless against the guy.

That left him somewhat at a loss.

Binding Technique!

Fortunately, genjutsu was quite effective against the Kaguya Clan.

Eagle Flash!

Ye Liangnai flashed past the man, brushing shoulders with him as a sharp aura dissipated.

Then a deep bloody gash appeared on the man's neck, blood spraying everywhere.

The man immediately screamed, yet he did not collapse at once. Instead, he lunged at Ye Liangnai.

He roared, "Brat, even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"

But naturally, Ye Liangnai would not let him succeed.

A Water Spear Technique pierced through his head and killed him completely.

The greatest advantage of the Water Spear Technique was that it required only a single hand seal and activated incredibly quickly!

"Damn it! You killed my clansman! Unforgivable!"

Camellia Dance!

At that moment, an angry roar came from behind Ye Liangnai.

It was another enemy at the chunin level.
