They Actually Managed Not to Make a Move

Seeing Yun Yan take off his clothes, Quan's face flushed red. She realized that her suspicion of Yun Yan this regard was an insult to him, and it was no wonder that Yun Yan reacted this way.

She quickly pulled off Yun Yan's clothes, covering his eight-pack abs, and Quan blushed as she hurriedly corrected herself.

"I believe you! Yun Yan! I believe you're not hurt! You don't need to prove anything to me like this! I believe my future happiness is guaranteed!"

Kakashi, standing nearby, covered his mouth; the white-haired man's expression was even more lewd than before.

"Wuhu, a happy life... so secure..."

Yun Yan was furious and kicked Kakashi without any hesitation, sending him flying. Kakashi flew through the air, making a lot of noise, from inside Yun Yan's yard to outside.

Seeing Kakashi's fate, Kai, standing nearby, seemed hesitant to provoke Yun Yan anymore. However, he didn't quite understand what they meant by "happy life," and he didn't ask.

Once the atmosphere had calmed down a bit, Kakashi suddenly reappeared and asked Yun Yan in a relatively serious tone:

"By the way, Yun Yan, seriously, how exactly did you defeat the Fourth Raikage without taking any damage?"

Kai, standing next to him, also became unusually serious. He nodded earnestly and asked seriously:

"Yes, it's true that you defeated the Fourth Raikage with the Flying Thunder God Technique, that's certainly plausible, but to defeat the Fourth Raikage completely unscathed... that..."

Yun Yan really had no other way to deal with these two bastards. Why did these two guys insist on getting to the bottom of things? So he showed them with his actions.

He first used teleportation briefly, teleporting directly to Kai's side at the extremely fast speed of the Flying Thunder God, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Is this a quick way to defeat the Fourth Raikage?"

Kai nodded seriously:

"Yes, but it's troublesome."

Yun Yan approached Kakashi again, patted him on the shoulder, and opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. Pointing to his eyes, he asked Kakashi:

"Could this be done without causing trouble?"

Upon seeing those crimson Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi suddenly realized what was happening and recalled the incident. He nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but it's easy to get injured."

So Yun Yan pointed to himself, then to his eyes, combining the two points together:

"If we add this to this, will we be able to defeat the Fourth Raikage quickly, easily, and without getting injured?"

Kakashi and Guy, standing nearby, looked at Yun Yan in surprise, then nodded in sudden understanding.

"Able."

"That settles it then!"

Having said that, Yun Yan didn't bother to explain anymore and simply stated it bluntly.

In fact, he didn't need to explain. Seeing Yun Yan simultaneously display the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi and Guy had already figured out the reason for his effortless and quick defeat of the Fourth Raikage.

The reason is simple: it's the combination of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mangekyō Sharingan.

They were well aware of how fast and mobile the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Yun Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu was extremely powerful; basically, a single glance was enough to trap an enemy in Genjutsu.

Combining these two incredibly powerful abilities and using them in tandem creates an effect that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, it makes sense that he was able to defeat the Fourth Raikage without taking any damage.

It's estimated that when Yun Yan was engaged in a high-speed battle with the Fourth Raikage, Yun Yan used a Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu to glare at him, and the Fourth Raikage was caught off guard and fell into the Genjutsu.

Even if he was only briefly trapped in the Genjutsu, and even if the Fourth Raikage quickly recovered, as long as he paused or hesitated even slightly, Yun Yan, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, would definitely be able to seize this opening and send the Fourth Raikage away with a series of attacks.

Yes, that must be it. Kakashi and Guy have incredibly vivid imaginations; they are absolutely confident that this is how it is.

Although he didn't know what those two guys had imagined, Yun Yan was too lazy to explain.

He wouldn't explain the specifics of his battle. If he told them that when he fought the Fourth Raikage, aside from the high-speed initial battle, the final move was a devastating blow that ended the fight and even destroyed one of the Fourth Raikage's arms, it would be a huge mistake.

If these words were spoken, Kakashi and Guy would only be more shocked and endlessly ask themselves what was going on. What a hassle.

So, I'm too lazy to explain to them. Let them fill in the blanks in their own minds. It'll keep them confused and unable to figure out my true strength.

After finishing their casual conversation, Yun Yan moved on to more serious matters. He looked at Kakashi and Guy with a serious expression, then put his arms around their shoulders, one on each side:

"Kakashi, Guy, tell me the truth, while I was away from home, did any ungrateful people come to cause trouble for Izumi and her mother?"

While asking the two of them this question, Yun Yan didn't forget to directly confirm this with Quan in front of him:

"Quan, has anyone come to cause trouble for you two? Or to put it more bluntly, has anyone attacked or plotted against you and your mother?"

When this question was brought up, everyone became serious, and the answer was obvious. Kakashi, Guy, and Izumi almost all shook their heads in unison, their shakes very decisive and firm.

Seeing their identical expressions and reactions, Yun Yan was also a little surprised:

"Not a single one? Not even once? There really isn't anyone with the wrong intentions? There really isn't anyone with any ill intentions towards me? There really isn't anyone planning to cause trouble while I'm away from Konoha?"

Kakashi, who was relatively more reliable, shook his head seriously at this moment:

"Yun Yan, that really didn't happen. Kai and I were here protecting you the whole time, and nothing unexpected did occur."

Yun Yan's expression at this moment was genuinely surprised:

"Goodness, this is really strange. Have these people really changed their ways?"

"Let's not even talk about that old man Sarutobi. He might be able to hold back from attacking me for the sake of the bigger picture, but Danzo? Can that old Danzo hold back? I don't believe it."

At this point, Kakashi hesitated slightly, but despite his hesitation, Kakashi still revealed what he knew:

"Well... this might be the case. I heard that the Lord Hokage has Danzo in the deepest and most secure prison in the Anbu. When he was imprisoned, he was Danzo all over his body with various seals, so Danzo is completely unable to move."

In this situation, even if Danzo was unwilling, he had no other choice. The Lord Hokage had really gone all out this time.

Regarding Kakashi's continued positive comments about Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yun Yan shook his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Hmph, Kakashi, stop flattering old man Sarutobi. I know his situation all too well. He was just worried that Danzo cause trouble, so he Danzo up in the deepest and most secure prison in the Anbu and sealed him away."

What appears to be punishment or imprisonment is, in reality, also a form of protection.

Kakashi, what did you say? Sarutobi really went all out this time. Heh, if Sarutobi were truly capable of such ruthlessness, he should have just killed Danzo to eliminate any future troubles. That way, everyone would be all in peace and quiet."

Hearing Yun Yan's blunt words, Kakashi's lips twitched involuntarily. He didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent for the moment.

His silence didn't matter; Yun Yan continued speaking, and he had a different perspective on the matter:

"However, it's good that old Sarutobi didn't kill Danzo directly. This at least shows that old man Sarutobi still listened to my request and knew that Danzo couldn't just die like that."

"To give Konoha an explanation, and also to give me an explanation, Danzo will ultimately have to participate in a public trial facing the entire village of Konoha."

Hearing this, Kai was completely puzzled:

"Huh? A public trial? What public trial?"

Yun Yan glanced at Kai helplessly and casually replied:

"You don't need to ask anymore. You'll soon find out what this so-called public trial is, because it's open to the entire Danzo Konoha. Sarutobi carry it out. That's the promise he made to me."

Listening to Yun Yan repeatedly referring to Sarutobi as "old Sarutobi," and speculating about the public trial Yun Yan mentioned, Kakashi secretly gave Yun Yan a meaningful look. He also had a premonition and felt that something big was about to happen in Konoha.

However... it's okay, in a sense, this big event might actually be a good thing.

After talking about Sarutobi and Danzo, Yun Yan seemed to suddenly remember two minor characters and asked Kakashi and Guy:

"By the way, where are those two old geezers, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura? How come they managed to hold back and not make a move?"
