Because of Black Snake, the quicksand began to flow backward, turning the entire battlefield into a world blanketed in shifting sand.
"Snake?"
A bad feeling rose in Cun Yilang's heart. Combined with Uchiha Yū's familiar face, he was certain he had seen him in a bounty mission!
"You're the Poison Ninja!"
Cun Yilang went numb. How had they attracted the Poison Ninja? That damned mission had not mentioned the Poison Ninja even once. Unfortunately, bounty ninjas did not enter Konoha. Otherwise, they would have known that Qiming Weapon Shop was so inseparable from Konoha not merely because of its low prices, but also because of Uchiha Yū's vigorous recommendations.
Cun Yilang helplessly threw out the rock-stealing staff forming in his hand. There was an unspoken rule in the ninja world when facing the Poison Ninja: never engage him in close combat.

"No, I've been poisoned."
The Chūnin stared at his hand with an ugly expression. His gaze toward Uchiha Yū shifted from shock to fear. In the end, his life mattered more than the mission, and he immediately begged, "Lord Yū, I didn't know that woman was connected to you. I won't hunt Shan Juhua anymore. I can even help you stop Cun Yilang's attack. Just cure my poison."
Before death, he ultimately chose to preserve his own life. Seeing the Chūnin kneeling and begging, Cun Yilang roared furiously, "You don't even have the backbone of a bounty ninja!"
He looked down on the man, and that also meant he could never lay down his weapon and hand his fate over to Uchiha
