Might Guy clenched his teeth hard.
Blood seeped from his gums.
Yet he no longer dared make the slightest sound.
Lie Yang withdrew his gaze.
Three Mangekyō Sharingan were already in his possession.
Kakashi and Shisui's future fortune had also been transferred to the Void Balance after the wager ended.
Kurenai Yuhi was the final piece of spoils he could take from this battle.
She was a Konoha jonin.
She specialized in genjutsu.
She had also taken part in the two encirclements.
Taking her away alive was far more valuable than leaving her here.
Lie Yang supported Kurenai Yuhi with one hand and formed a hand seal before his chest with the other.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Bang! Bang!
Two clouds of white smoke exploded.
Two shadow clones appeared on the battlefield.
The first shadow clone glanced at Lie Yang's body.
"The backlash has already begun?"
"Mm."
Lie Yang showed no change on the surface, but the muscles inside his body had begun to twitch subtly.
The burden brought by the Second-Stage Gene Lock was steadily increasing.
Miro could reset injuries, Chakra, and mental strength, but it could not completely erase the adaptation process after a transformation in one's level of life.
"Leave first."
Lie Yang handed Kurenai Yuhi to the second shadow clone.
The shadow clone caught her steadily.
The other shadow clone walked before Lie Yang, crouching with its back to him.
Lie Yang did not force himself. He climbed directly onto the clone's back.
The backlash from the Second-Stage Gene Lock could erupt completely at any moment.
What mattered most now was not continuing to clean up the surviving ninja, but finding a safe place as quickly as possible and getting through his body's adaptation period.
The shadow clone carrying Kurenai Yuhi asked, "What about Kakashi and Shisui?"
