Ye Wuyue emerged from behind the black bear's corpse with a cold expression. He now roughly understood why he found Xiang Lin cuter at this age.

It was clear what kind of treatment she had suffered in Kusagakure.
Xiang Lin froze for a moment and turned around, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
Ye Wuyue did not say much. He squeezed Xiang Lin's icy hand, then vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the two Kusagakure ninja. At his current level of Shunpo, there was no way these people could clearly see his movements.

Ye Wuyue kicked out, pulling his Zanpakuto from the man's body. The lame ninja's corpse slammed heavily into a large tree before sliding down.

Even Ye Wuyue nearly laughed at that ninja's actions. If you did not have the hand speed to form six seals in a second, then do not mess around with your
