Seeing Yagura Karatachi Again

Twenty miles away.

Qian Yun released the little boat and set it drifting again. Kakashi frowned. "That should be the aura of a tailed beast. We can fight for it!"

Shisui nodded as well. "With a tailed beast's help, we could easily defeat the Four Nations' Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Qian Yun raised two fingers and flicked Shisui on the forehead.

"You little fool, what matters are the shinobi, not the tailed beasts!

Last year, when the One-Tail Shukaku went berserk, Konoha nearly had to face the entire shinobi world's allied forces.

If another tailed beast showed up, Konoha Village would probably be destroyed in no time!

We must protect this hard-won peace. That is the Will of Fire!"

Kakashi and Shisui instantly broke out in cold sweat at his words.

"Sorry!" they said in unison.

Qian Yun gave a wicked grin. "In that case, your punishment is to kiss my ass!"

Hehehe...

The three laughed, then sensed the island again and discovered that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were tangled up with a Hidden Cloud shinobi unit.

The Third Raikage was leading a group of people in using the Six Paths ninja tools and sealing scrolls to subdue the Two-Tails. He had no time to spare.

The Hidden Cloud shinobi on the outskirts were being forced back step by step and were about to be wiped out.

Suddenly, the Third Raikage shouted, "Abandon the Two-Tails for now! Kill every last one of these bastards!"

The moment the Hidden Cloud shinobi gave up on the Two-Tails, it used Body Flicker and left the sea region.

As the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Mist shinobi slaughtered one another, Qian Yun used Wind Release to steer the little boat swiftly away from the scene.

No one noticed that Qian Yun had quietly used Wind Release: Black Sandstorm to absorb a great deal of the Two-Tails' chakra.

A small town in western Land of Crafts.

The moment Qian Yun arrived, he took Kakashi and Shisui shopping. They bought practically anything they saw, in enormous quantities.

What was more, Qian Yun hired a busty young beauty as a guide and even hired four cart pushers.

Their wheelbarrows were piled high with all sorts of miscellaneous goods, and Qian Yun's face practically screamed, "I'm filthy rich."

No one noticed that Qian Yun was using a wide-range basic genjutsu.

To complete the mission, he first had to make a big enough scene.

Kakashi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Hey, is this really okay?

Once the money runs out, what will you use to purchase ninja tools?"

Though Kakashi spoke softly, the busty guide still heard him. The four cart pushers behind them exchanged glances and smiled.

"Damn it, I forgot about the ninja tools. We only have fifty million ryo left. What are we supposed to do?"

Qian Yun wore an expression of utter panic right in the middle of the street, making Kakashi's eyelid twitch.

"Idiot, can you keep your voice down? What if someone targets you?"

Upon hearing that, Qian Yun put on an extremely frightened expression and looked around in every direction.

His acting was a little overdone.

After several breaths, he pretended to sneakily take out a scroll and handed it to Shisui.

"Listen carefully. The fifty million ryo for purchasing ninja tools absolutely cannot be lost, or the procurement mission will fail!

And if the money is lost, Konoha's hawks will definitely attack the Land of Crafts. Even Lord Third Hokage won't be able to stop them!

For the sake of peace, this money absolutely cannot be lost!"

"Understood! We'll protect the money with our lives!"

As the two spoke with utter seriousness, more and more people around them began eyeing them.

Kakashi rubbed his forehead. He suddenly realized Qian Yun was a lunatic.

Was messing with a kid really that fun?

Maybe he could stop Qian Yun's madness in advance.

Before Kakashi could come up with a plan, Qian Yun had already checked into a relatively luxurious inn at the busty guide's suggestion.

The moment they entered their room, a group of people came looking for them. They seemed quite imposing.

They wore suits and were accompanied by a crowd of underlings, but the scar-faced leader did not look like a businessman at all.

"My name is Jack. Please forgive my presumptuous interruption, esteemed shinobi of Konoha Village!

I heard that the three of you came to the Land of Crafts to procure supplies. I happen to have some connections!

And my prices are half the market rate!

So, would you like to inspect the goods?"

After speaking, the scar-faced man grinned at Qian Yun and secretly gave the busty guide a look.

The busty guide hurried over to persuade him. "Sir, Lord Jack is a famous merchant in the Land of Crafts. Everyone who has worked with him says he is trustworthy!

There will be plenty of opportunities for future cooperation. You can inspect the goods first, then decide whether to buy!"

Qian Yun grinned. "You're right. If the ninja tools are of good quality, Konoha Village will sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Mr. Jack!

Then let's inspect the goods now!

Kakashi, Shisui, keep your eyes open and inspect them carefully for me!"

Sigh!

Kakashi was speechless. He suddenly realized Qian Yun had no resistance to women and was now being led around by the nose.

The three followed Jack to a warehouse. It was filled with wooden crates and looked rather convincing.

Jack waved a hand, and three of his lackeys opened three crates. They were packed full of shuriken, kunai, and samurai swords.

Qian Yun nodded with a smile, signaling Shisui to take out the scroll containing the money.

Shisui obediently took out the scroll and offered it with both hands.

Suddenly, Shisui flickered backward and drew a kunai.

"Brother Qian Yun, all the other crates are empty!"

"What?!"

Qian Yun cried out, his expression exaggerated.

"Hahahaha... You only figured that out now? Konoha Village shinobi aren't much after all!

Get them! Leave no one alive!"

Jack was wildly arrogant, but Qian Yun shouted:

"Leave them all alive! I want to question the daimyo of the Land of Crafts!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A group of rogue shinobi threw smoke bombs, then drew their samurai swords and charged forward.

"Get the scroll first... Once we have the money, kill them all!"

Jack shouted, but he had already retreated and hidden in the gap behind the second row of crates.

Bang!

Jack accidentally knocked over a row of empty crates, and a person rolled out from inside.

Qian Yun took one look and was stunned. It was Yagura Karatachi, whom he had not seen in a year.

Both sides stopped fighting and turned to look. No one knew why a Hidden Mist shinobi was here.

Thanks to his enhanced sensory ability through his skin, Qian Yun discovered that the Third Raikage and his group had entered the town.

No explanation was needed. Because of the Two-Tails, he was looking for trouble with the Hidden Mist shinobi.

"Oh, so you colluded with Hidden Mist shinobi to ambush us. Watch my powerful trump card!"

After shouting with utter seriousness, Qian Yun suddenly used Mist Body Flicker to rush forward and shoved his palm toward Yagura Karatachi.

Yagura Karatachi was struck and rolled several times across the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

He had already been seriously injured, and his head had been growing foggy in waves.

Now that Qian Yun's palm struck him, he immediately felt an enormous amount of medical chakra pouring into his body.

So comfortable!

He understood. Qian Yun wanted to save him, but did not want the Third Raikage to notice.

"Idiots! You've already fallen for it. Every crate here is empty!

And do you really think the scroll is still in that child's hands?

You have no brains at all!"

After Yagura Karatachi spoke, he dispersed like mist, looking exactly like Qian Yun's technique.

"How could this happen... The scroll is gone!"

Shisui was shocked, then looked at Qian Yun in panic.

At the same time, the surrounding rogue shinobi threw more smoke bombs and fled at absurd speed.

Qian Yun turned an angry expression toward the busty guide. She was so frightened that she collapsed onto the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Uh... Help... The smoke bombs are poisonous..."

Qian Yun and Kakashi flickered backward, while Shisui dragged the busty guide out of the smoke-covered area.

Shisui crouched down and asked anxiously.

"Big sister... Sister Zhixian... How are you?"

The busty guide said weakly:

"My chest was just cut by a shuriken. The poison entered my bloodstream through the wound. It needs to be sucked out now!"

Qian Yun gave a wicked grin. "I'm a doctor. I'm good at this sort of thing!"

As he spoke, he walked over step by step, looking like a hooligan with ill intentions.

One of the basic genjutsu: psychological suggestion.
