Gale Wind Breaks Stout Grass

Looking at the four inhuman, tattered, and censored figures around him, Pakkun, the Ninja Dog, couldn't help but narrow his eyes:

"What... what happened to these four Kumogakure before they died? Wasn't that kid a bit too ruthless?"

Kakashi seemed to have a different opinion; he shook his head.

"I think that, given Yun Yan's personality, such revenge is just right."

Furthermore, the manner of Yun Yan's revenge reveals that these four Kumogakure were the culprits behind the attack on the Konoha Ninja team.

However, Kakashi became a little depressed at this point:

"Yun Yan has already retaliated, what else can I do?"

No longer looking at those four things that needed to be censored, Kakashi couldn't help but look around, a sense of melancholy creeping into his heart:

"This place can be considered the border of the Lightning Country, and it's not far from the national border."

The fact that Yun Yan isn't here means that even after killing the four culprits, he's still not satisfied and is still looking for other targets in Kumogakure.

Pakkun, in that case, let's continue.

This debt cannot be left unpaid; we must get it back double.

Pakkun understood Kakashi's meaning, but he still wanted to confirm:

"Are you sure you want to cause trouble within the Land of Lightning Country's borders? That could be quite dangerous."

Kakashi didn't care at all:

"It's alright. As long as we're careful, we won't be discovered. The Land of Lightning Country's borders are so vast; the ninjas of Kumogakure won't be able to find Yun Yan and me. Besides, we're acting separately, and besides, Yun Yan..."

Kakashi wanted to say that Yun Yan had Kage Level strength, but after thinking about it, he decided not to reveal it.

That's indeed the case. Yun Yan is so powerful, and he's constantly on the move in the Lightning Country, making it incredibly difficult for the Kumogakure ninjas to capture him.

Kakashi didn't want to just stand by and watch; he wanted to make a difference too.

Pakkun understood Kakashi's idea. He nodded, lowered his nose to the ground, and sniffed the surroundings, searching for traces of other Kumogakure ninjas.

Kakashi's team relied on the Ninja Dog Pakkun. While Ninja Dog are quite good at tracking and searching, they are still far inferior to Yun Yan.

In just this short time, Yun Yan had already gotten close to his next batch of targets.

This is a small, but long and narrow valley.

A group of about thirty or forty Kumogakure were marching hurriedly through the canyon. They seemed to have an important mission and objective.

A gentle breeze swept by, Yun Yan's figure appeared on the high cliffs on both sides of the valley. He stood there, looking down at the group of Kumogakure ninjas.

Because Yun Yan didn't conceal his aura or hide his presence at all this time, he was discovered by the Kumogakure ninjas as soon as he appeared.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Village Jonin leading the group immediately became alert. He drew his weapon and looked seriously at Yun Yan above him.

Who is it?

Yun Yan remained standing there, not wanting to waste any more words on them.

Seeing their commander make a move, the group of Kumogakure ninjas below also turned their gazes toward Yun Yan above, realizing the presence of an enemy, and each took out their weapons and prepared for battle.

Soon, the Kumogakure ninjas recognized Yun Yan by his attire and the Forehead Protector on his forehead:

"They're Konoha Ninja!"

"Strange, how did Konoha Ninja end up in our Land of Lightning Country?"

"Yes, although this place isn't too far from the border, it is still part of our country's borders."

"When did the ninjas of Konoha ever have the audacity to invade our borders?"

"And why is he the only one?"

"I'm also wondering, how did he dare to show up in front of us all by himself?"

And so, the group of Kumogakure ninjas began to chatter with questions.

Seeing the chaotic scene of everyone talking at once, Yun Yan knew that this group of Kumogakure ninjas were of poor overall quality and not elite at all.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the case. Apart from the one and only Jonin officer, the other Kumogakure ninjas were either Genin or Chunin, a complete rabble.

Yun Yan was even less inclined to deal with this rabble.

"Never mind, although they're not elite, at least there are quite a few of them."

"Don't blame me when you get there. Blame those four bastards who dared to mess with me. They're the real culprits."

After muttering those words softly and hypocritically, Yun Yan quickly formed hand Hand Seals and mobilized the Chakra within his body:

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Breaks Stout Grass!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the oppressive air in the entire valley began to flow, drift, tear, and surge under the influence of the Yun Yan Ninjutsu!

In an instant, a strong wind swept across the valley!

Seeing the sudden change in the scene, especially the large wind that suddenly blew up above them, the group of Kumogakure ninjas all changed color, and one by one they were somewhat frightened and uneasy.

Among them, the most noticeable change in expression was seen in the faces of the more knowledgeable Jonin from Kumogakure.

It was able to alter the airflow throughout the entire valley, causing strong winds to blow overhead!

This level of Ninjutsu is beyond the capabilities of ordinary A-rank Ninjutsu; could it be an S-rank Ninjutsu?

The Cloud Village Jonin guessed correctly.

At that very moment, Kumono's S-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu was complete. Amidst the howling air currents and strong winds above the entire valley, hundreds of azure Wind Blade suddenly materialized out of thin air! All of these Wind Blades were aimed at the Kumogakure ninja in the center below!

Seeing this, the Cloud Village Jonin broke out in a cold sweat, and he almost screamed at the top of his lungs:

"Run!"

However, these ninjas, whose overall quality was relatively poor, were ultimately a bit slow to react. Yun Yan's S-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu was officially activated, and hundreds of Wind Blades from the sky swept down, slicing down like a dense and relentless storm!

In an instant, the valley was filled with crisscrossing, shimmering azure Wind Blade!

The buzzing sound of air being cut, the flashing sound of Wind Blade flying rapidly, and the hissing sound of flesh being sliced and cleaved, including the explosions of Wind Blade hitting the ground or rocks, all these sounds mixed together and mingled, never ceasing.

About five seconds later, all the hundreds of Wind Blade tilted down, without holding back.

The bottom of the valley had now become a living hell.

Looking around, all that could be seen were various pieces of corpses and splattered bright red blood everywhere.

What's most shocking is that some people aren't completely dead yet, or rather, their nerves are still functioning. These severed limbs are still twitching and struggling, making this scene of hell on earth even more terrifying!

Standing atop the high cliff in the valley, watching this scene, Yun Yan calmly lowered his hands from the Hand Seals.

After glancing around and confirming that no one was standing or breathing, Yun Yan nodded in satisfaction.

All of those dozens of ninjas below are dead, not one is left. That much is certain.

After Yun Yan patiently waited for several dozen seconds, the last nerves in the fragments of the corpse lost their function, and they stopped twitching and moving.

Similarly, the strong stench of blood wafted out of the valley along with the slowly flowing air.

Such a strong smell of blood might attract many wild animals, especially those that are carrion-eating or extremely hungry; for them, this would definitely be a rare feast.

However, that had nothing to do with Yun Yan anymore. Standing high on this cliff, Yun Yan activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, using his Endless Vista to scan a wide area and continue searching for his next target.

And you know what? He quickly found something new and interesting.

Just a few dozen kilometers to the northwest of this valley, there is a medium-sized mine.

Those mining and smelting inside the mines appeared to be convicts and laborers from the Lightning Country.

And those supervising and directing this group of people were naturally a considerable number of Kumogakure ninja.

If Yun Yan wasn't mistaken, the metal mined and smelted in this mine should be a special metal that is beneficial for Chakra conduction. This kind of metal is mostly used to forge high-end ninja weapons.

Well, completely destroying such an important mine as the Hidden Kumogakure should at least cause them some financial pain, right?

With this thought in mind, Yun Yan merged his body into the air, transforming into a gentle breeze once more, and swiftly left the area, heading towards the mine.

It's easy to imagine that the people in that mine are Yun Yan's next batch of prey, and they are about to suffer a great calamity.
