At that moment, the Fourth Raikage and Sarui appeared behind Darui in the distance.
When Ye Liangnai saw the two of them appear, she immediately raised an eyebrow.
Just as he had guessed, the Fourth Raikage was indeed nearby.
Darui, somewhat surprised, said, "Second Uncle, Lord Raikage, what brings you here!"
Then, he lowered his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I was the one who got up to challenge them, but I lost to Kira time and time again!"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's not true, don't worry about it, Darui!"
"In fact, you should know that it's not that you lack ability."
"It's because your opponent is just too strong, and his progress is just too fast!"
With that, the Fourth Raikage looked at Ye Liangnai and said, "Would you like to test your skills with this old man?"
Upon hearing his words, both Sarui and Darui showed expressions of surprise.
It's quite amazing that the Raikage would actually take the initiative to challenge him.
"Lord Raikage thinks too highly of me, how could I dare..."
Ye Liangnai was about to decline when he heard this, but before he could finish speaking, the Raikage appeared in front of him, his body surrounded by terrifying lightning, and a punch came flying down.
Ye Liangnai's body tensed up immediately, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar Wall!"
Ye Liangnai quickly formed hand seals to release a defensive barrier, thinking to herself, "However, I can't use my full strength, otherwise the Raikage will figure out my strength, and it will be difficult to escape later!"
"Boom!"
"Snap!"
After a violent tremor, Ye Liangnai's defenses suddenly cracked under the strain.
Ye Liangnai's expression changed drastically, and she quickly retreated.
But as soon as he landed, Raikage closed in again, unleashing another punch that was so violent it was hard to breathe.
"Puff!"
Ye Liangnai immediately put her hands in front of her to protect herself, like a sandbag, and coughed up blood as she was forced back, crashing heavily into a rock in the distance.
"Ahem, Lord Raikage, are you going to kill me?"
Ye Liangnai stood up from the ruins beneath the rocks and gave a bitter laugh.
He touched his arm and said, "One blow broke my arm bone, Lord Raikage, I can't continue working!"
Hearing this, Raikage raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmph, not bad at all."
"You should know that there aren't many people who can withstand one of my attacks and still be able to move!"
"No wonder you were able to defeat Darui time and time again, Kira. Your true strength is truly impressive!"
Hearing this, Ye Liangnai smiled wryly, "It's not that I'm too strong, it's just that Lord Raikage showed mercy."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have exploded and died long ago!"
The blatant flattery pleased the Fourth Raikage greatly.
"You're quite a talent, kid. Alright, I'll give you two days to rest and recover!"
"Keep up the good work in the days to come. Darui will come to challenge you anytime, understand?"
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Liangnai's reply, the Fourth Raikage, along with Darui and Sarui, left the place.
He had a very comfortable trip today!
Taking advantage of Darui's presence, we tested Ye Liangnai's 'true' strength.
It also allowed me to vent the frustration I had been building up because of the official documents.
However, while he was indeed comfortable, someone else was not!
"Fourth Raikage, you just wait, one day I'll give you a punch too!"
"And what, are you using me as a whetstone for Darui?!"
"Hmph, you have quite the idea. You've banished me to a place like this, hoping to make me a free laborer. You must be dreaming!"
Ye Liangnai stared at the Fourth Raikage's back for a few seconds, and when she turned back, she had returned to normal.
The Fourth Raikage would never know that the reason he was brutally beaten by Ye Liangnai years later was because of this very reason!
"You... you're incredibly amazing!"
"But why were you...?"
When he returned to the entrance of the Dragon Containment Cave, Ye Liangnai's three teammates looked at him in astonishment and said...
"But that's just how it is, and there's nothing more to say!"
Ye Liangnai didn't intend to explain anything to them and entered the Dragon Containment Cave.
The three men weren't angry; after all, powerful people are often eccentric.
Moreover, the rule in Kumogakure is that the strong are respected, and the strong can earn respect even if they do nothing.
"No wonder he can get along harmoniously with the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, it turns out it's because of his great strength!"
"Yes, because of his great strength, even Matatabi the Two-Tails doesn't dare to act recklessly and can only coexist peacefully with him!"
"In that case, let's cooperate with him. He'll stand guard inside, and we'll stand guard outside, together guarding this Jinchuriki..."
While the three were deciding on this plan, inside the cave!
"What's wrong? You look so gloomy and depressed?"
"You feel embarrassed about being utterly crushed by the Raikage in front of everyone? Seriously, who can you blame if you didn't go all out?"
"If you had gone all out, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
"I refuse to believe that someone who can completely suppress me can't even withstand two moves from the Raikage!"
While Matatabi, the Two-Tails, isn't among the strongest of all the Tailed Beast, it's still a force that requires at least Kage Level opponent to contend with.
Ye Liangnai, who was able to suppress Matatabi, was naturally much stronger than Matatabi. Even if the Raikage could defeat Ye Liangnai, it wouldn't be so easy for him!
"If I show my full strength, this battle won't end so easily today!"
"Now is not the time to show my full strength! But I think that day is coming soon!"
The agreement with Kirigakure was for six months, so it's six months!
The timing absolutely cannot be off; otherwise, returning to Kirigakure will arouse suspicion.
Furthermore, the fact that he had already done something like this once before intensified the Kirigakure's suspicions about his identity.
Therefore, it's best not to add fuel to the fire, lest it have the opposite effect.
"Oh, so you're saying you're going to cause a huge ruckus in Kumogakure? Hehe, that's strangely making me look forward to it!"
Yugito an expression that seemed to thrive on chaos.
She is no longer the mature ninja from the original story; she doesn't feel much of a sense of belonging to Kumogakure now.
Yes, he was called the Two-Tails Jinchuriki at the age of two, and then he was trapped in this Dragon Containment Cave.
No one would have a good impression of Kumogakure.
"It's definitely going to be a huge scene! I'm sure you'd really enjoy it!"
Ye Liangnai said with a smile, and then began to swing her sword again.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yugito thought to himself, "What a boring man," before quietly beginning his cultivation.
