"Lord Raikage, charge!"
"We must succeed!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Cloud Ninja shouted out with intense hope.
"The Nirvana Technique!"
Ye Liangnai suddenly withdrew her defenses, glared angrily, and then, something miraculous happened.
The lightning on the Raikage's body vanished instantly, but his aura became chaotic, extremely agitated and uncontrollable.
"Pfft!"
Ye Liangnai leaped up, and her long sword pierced straight through the Raikage's chest.
Then, he slammed him heavily into the ground with a palm strike.
"Puff puff puff!"
Ye Liangnai twisted her waist in mid-air and unleashed another burst of sharp Sword Qi, all of which struck the Fourth Raikage on the ground.
"Lord Raikage!!!"
"You bastard, you're not allowed to hurt Lord Raikage!"
"Stop right now!"
Upon seeing this scene, the Cloud Ninja with rage and rushed over to stop Ye Liangnai, who was landing and charging towards the Fourth Raikage again.
"Lightning Scythe!"
But when they were halfway there, the Fourth Raikage's voice rang out again.
He bent his arm, his wrist transforming into a scythe of death, and brushed past Ye Liangnai!
"Pfft!"
In an instant, blood was everywhere!
Then, Ye Liangnai was seen to have her head severed from her body, and she collapsed to her knees, powerless.
A brief silence fell over the scene, followed by an astonishing roar of cheers.
"Long live Lord Raikage!"
"Hahaha, we won!"
"Now you know how tough it is, you bastard!"
The Cloud Ninja all showed joy, their faces filled with fervor.
But after the Fourth Raikage finished doing all this, he suddenly knelt down and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His breath became incredibly weak in an instant!
"Lord Raikage?!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Cloud Ninja were utterly astonished.
"Don't worry, I'm not..."
The Fourth Raikage struggled to his feet, and just as he was about to say that he was alright, his chest was pierced through again.
He looked at the long sword in his chest, then at Ye Liangnai behind him with a smiling face, and couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.
"How... is this possible? Why are you... alright? You were clearly... by me..."
Ye Liangnai drew her long sword, grabbed his neck, and shoved him into the ground, saying, "You cut off my head, so why are you still alive?"
As she spoke, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Aren't you underestimating me? That was just my Water Clone!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was greatly alarmed and quickly looked over.
Then, Ye Liangnai, whose head he had severed, slowly turned into a puddle of water.
Ye Liangnai: "Didn't you always want to see my true strength? Well, how about it? Are you satisfied with 90% of my power?"
The Fourth Raikage: "Why... why... did you betray Kumogakure? I... I think I've been pretty good to you!"
Hearing this, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but smile and said, "You've been good to me?"
"Transferring me from the Anbu to the Assassination Squad, then to the Dragon Containment Cave, and using me directly as a whetstone for Darui —is that what you call treating me well?"
"Lord Raikage, are you perhaps misunderstanding something?"
The Fourth Raikage retorted, "That's because your... identity is unknown. This is my test for you!"
Ye Liangnai laughed after hearing this, her face full of sarcasm. "Then when can you tell me? One year? Ten years? Or twenty years?"
"Don't be so hypocritical. You never intended to find out my identity, so don't tell me this is a test! It's disgusting!"
"Oh, right, the only thing I want to thank you for is that you brought me to the Dragon Containment Cave, giving me the opportunity to meet the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and leave Kumogakure with her!"
"If they won't keep me here, there are plenty of other places that will, Lord Raikage!"
"Before that, please take a good look at how powerless your Kumogakure is when facing the enemy!"
After saying that, without giving the surrounding Cloud Ninja any chance to react, a black incantation appeared on the Raikage's body.
"Binding Flow Karma Curse!" Ye Liangnai murmured.
"I can't move! Damn it, what did you do to me?!"
The Fourth Raikage asked through gritted teeth.
"It's nothing, it just means you can't move."
"Don't worry, Lord Raikage, I will restore your mobility when needed!"
"Now, please become my hostage!"
With that, he grabbed the Fourth Raikage and charged straight at the Two-Tails, shouting, "Two-Tails, retreat!"
Yugito, who was still in his Tailed Beast Transformation, looked over immediately upon hearing this and was astonished to see that Ye Liangnai had actually captured the Fourth Raikage.
"Wow, that's impressive! I never knew you were this strong!"
The voice of the Yugito coming from the mouth of the Matatabi naturally attracted the attention of many other Cloud Ninja as well.
"You must be kidding!"
"Lord Raikage was captured alive?"
"How so!"
The Cloud Ninja couldn't help but question their existence, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
That powerful Raikage was actually captured!
This is outrageous!
"Everyone, if you don't want anything to happen to your Lord Raikage, you'd better let us out!"
Ye Liangnai leaped onto the back of the Two-Tails, looked down at everyone, and said.
"Don't even think about it!!!"
"You bastard, put Lord Raikage down right now!"
"Damn it, don't think you can leave Kumogakure so easily!"
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Ninja showed no intention of yielding and all appeared determined to fight to the death.
"Oh, you're not going to move aside? It seems you don't realize how serious the situation is!"
Ye Liangnai grinned, and the power in her palm suddenly intensified, even crackling with lightning.
The Fourth Raikage immediately showed a pained expression, which made the expressions of the Cloud Ninja even angrier.
Ye Liangnai: "You don't think I'm afraid to kill him, do you?! You have five seconds to decide whether to move aside or not!"
"However, I can't guarantee how serious the consequences will be if you don't move aside!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
As Ye Liangnai counted down, the expressions of the Cloud Ninja began to change.
From anger to resentment, helplessness, worry, and anxiety, etc.
"Two!"
Just as they were about to count to one, someone finally spoke up.
"Stop! We agree to your terms!"
The voice belonged to a woman. The group of Cloud Ninja looked over and saw Raikage's secretary Mabui, approaching and saying, "Can you guarantee that you will keep your promise after we do?"
"So you think your Kumogakure has any leverage to negotiate with me?"
Ye Liangnai raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of arrogance.
"Really? Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Mabui actually laughed, looking as if his scheme had succeeded. He shouted, "Lord Killer B, make your move!"
The moment she finished speaking, Ye Liangnai heard a loud shout, followed by a sudden sense of crisis.
A burly man clad in Tailed Beast Cloak appeared behind Ye Liangnai, striking a pose resembling the 'Lightning Scythe', ready to behead Ye Liangnai!
