Xuandou soon caught up with Mabui as she fled in panic.
She ran in the middle of the group, the front of her body bouncing with every stride.
Xuandou landed in front of her, and Mabui stopped abruptly.
She knew Xuandou's combat strength very well.
So she knew she could not escape.
Xuandou gave her no time to react.
He immediately used Shadow Binding to restrain her.
Surprisingly, faced with this situation, she did not curse at him.
She merely stared at Xuandou.
Xuandou looked the dark-skinned beauty over with interest.
"You're the Raikage's secretary, Mabui?"
Before she could answer, Xuandou had already formed a fiery-red Lightning-Fire Bomb and hurled it at a nearby Kumogakure Shinobi who was fleeing in panic.
The ninja did not even have time to scream before the Lightning-Fire Bomb pierced his chest.
Flames and lightning intertwined, blasting a charred hole in his body, and his corpse crashed to the ground.
Without so much as looking at the corpse, Xuandou stared into Mabui's eyes and said:
"Submit or die!"
Contrary to Xuandou's expectations, Mabui barely hesitated.
"I'm willing to submit!"
Xuandou raised his eyebrows, a flicker of puzzlement crossing his eyes.
Mabui then volunteered an explanation:
"Kumogakure Shinobi have always respected strength above all."
"Lord Raikage is the strongest person in Kumogakure."
"Now that you've defeated Lord Raikage, you've proven that you're even stronger."
"I'm willing to submit to you."
"I'm very confident in my abilities."
"If you're willing, I can leave Kumogakure and stay in the Hidden Xuan Village as your secretary."
"You should know something of my abilities."
Xuandou was delighted to hear this.
This woman was not only beautiful, but also Kumogakure's finest intelligence analyst and tactical advisor.
The Heavenly Transfer Technique, intelligence processing, logistical coordination...
She was proficient in all of them.
