Chapter 143 The Death of Yekura, the Life of Yekura! (Please subscribe and vote!)

Late at night the day after Yekura left Sunagakure.

Inside Sunagakure, Genichi Kishita sneaked into the home of a high-ranking member of the village like a ghost.

Masato, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes and met Genichi's eyes, who was lying on the roof.

"Sharingan..."

Shinto was terrified, but he had already lost control of his body. Then his eyes went blank, and he was hypnotized by Genichi Kinoshita.

……

In the Land of Water, Genichi Kinoshita, who was monitoring Yotaka, suddenly received a message from his shadow clone: ​​"Sacrifice Yotaka and attack Konoha."

Although the Sand Village's high-ranking official, Masato, was old and frail, he was once a Jonin. Even with the Sharingan used for hypnosis and interrogation, the information obtained was limited.

But just a few words are enough to evoke a lot of thoughts.

"Should we form an alliance with Kirigakure to attack Konoha?"

"That's a very good plan."

Xuan Yi hummed softly to himself under the tree.

Upon closer examination, Sunagakure's decision is quite reasonable.

The losses from this war have been so great, we must make up for them.

Looking around, the Land of Fire is still the richest.

Furthermore, the Land of Rivers, a buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, could perhaps be taken over while Konoha is under siege.

Iwagakure is currently fighting against three opponents, and if Sunagakure launches a full-scale counterattack, it wouldn't be difficult to drive Iwagakure out of the Land of Wind.

"Disrupting peace talks and alliances...that's a bit difficult!"

Genichi frowned slightly under the tree.

This is not something that can be accomplished by simply saving Pakura. Even if he impersonates a Sunagakure ninja to rescue her and takes Pakura away, it still won't completely destroy the alliance between Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

The two ninja villages now share similar interests.

Saving Yekura can only buy time.

unless……

Genichi under the tree had a thought: Kill the Fourth Kazekage!

Once the idea took hold, it grew wildly like weeds, and a plan quickly took shape in my mind.

Silent all night.

Early in the morning, Yekura set off again, with Genichi under the tree trailing far behind.

Meanwhile, the disappearance of Masato, a high-ranking official of Sunagakure, was finally discovered.

The Fourth Kazekage ordered a search, which, although restrained and limited to the village area, still caused quite a stir.

"Fourth Hokage, we must strengthen our security forces!"

Chiyo entered the Kazekage's office and cut to the chase: "Especially you, as the Kazekage!"

Luo Sha frowned: "Does my mother-in-law suspect that the murderer will try to assassinate me?"

Chiyo said, "We must be on guard regardless of whether we know it or not. We cannot let the Third Hokage's tragedy repeat itself."

"Also, Fourth Hokage, don't forget that the Third Mizukage was assassinated in his own office. Otherwise, Kirigakure wouldn't have agreed to negotiate an alliance with us so easily."

Luo Sha nodded and said, "I understand."

"I will strengthen the defenses, as will the elders."

"However, who does Mother-in-law think the murderer is?"

Chiyo said calmly, "It could be Iwagakure, or it could be someone else."

There are too many possibilities: neither alive nor dead.

……

In the land of water, shrouded in mist, Yekura, who was walking slowly, suddenly stopped.

"The one ahead must be Lord Yekura, the Scorching Release user!"

A handsome ninja with a warm, sunny smile emerged from the mist.

Yekura breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward: "Yes, I am Yekura, here on behalf of Sunagakure."

The ninja from the Mist came to Pakura's side and gestured for her to enter, saying, "You've really worked hard."

"I have come to greet you because of the fog."

Ye Cang said cheerfully, "Thank you, but I don't think I'd get lost!"

The ninja followed behind Yekura, his originally gentle smile gradually turning into a ferocious one. He had already pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag, but he still said, "This is a sign of respect for you, sir."

Ye Cang was about to be polite when his expression suddenly changed drastically: "You..."

The ninja stabbed Pakura in the back with a kunai, grinning menacingly, "I'm avenging my fallen comrades!"

As the Mist Ninja released his grip, Yekura staggered a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

"Damn it...it's highly poisonous!"

Yekura tried to get up, but her strength was rapidly fading away.

She turned her head with difficulty, and through her increasingly blurred vision, she saw a large number of mist ninjas appearing on one side of the canyon.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that she had been abandoned by the village!

shhhhhh!
On the mountains on both sides of the canyon, the Mist Ninjas threw shurikens and kunai with all their might, venting all their hatred.

But just then, Genichi Shushita suddenly appeared beside Yekura and disappeared with her before the shuriken could fall.

"Be careful, there are enemies!"

The ninja shouted, and then a roaring sound arose. The ninjas on both sides of the mountain turned their heads and saw the waterfall falling from the sky.

shhhhhh!
Many of the Mist Ninja immediately leaped into the air, but half of them were still hit by the water. As the water slammed into the ground from mid-air, they were instantly killed by the double impact.

On the mountain, under the tree, Xuan Yi's shadow clone immediately followed up Water Release with Wind Release: Vacuum Ball.

A barrage of air bullets swept out, riddling several Mist Ninjas with holes.

"Two enemies are on the mountain!"

Yu Wuren rushed towards Genichi under the tree from both sides.

Instead of retreating, Xuan Yi charged down the mountain.

……

Meanwhile, Genichi Shushita had already led Yekura into a cave.

First, remove the kunai from Yecang's back, then use the fine-touch extraction technique to draw out the poison from the kunai.

"Such a beautiful back, it would be a shame if it were left with scars."

After extracting the poison, Genichi carefully healed Yekura's wounds.

He felt that Ye Cang should be extremely grateful to him for waking up.

If he hadn't known medical ninjutsu, Yekura might have been left with a scar on her back.

After treating the wound, Genichi Kinoshita took out a special antidote pill made by Tsunade and gave it to Yekura to clear away the remaining poison.

At this moment, the shadow clone's memories also came back, and all the Mist Ninja were eliminated.

At this time, Yekura was still unconscious. Genichi Kishita did not stay in the Land of Water any longer. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and brought Yekura to the Land of Rivers.

……

In the Mizukage Building, an ANBU ninja rushed into the Mizukage's office: "Lord Mizukage, all the ninjas who went to greet the Sunagakure envoy have been killed!"

Yagura, the tachibana manga artist, suddenly looked up: "What's going on?"

"Did Yagura discover something?"

The ANBU ninja quickly replied, "Although the scene has been disturbed, there are no traces of the Scorch Release technique."

Yagura frowned and remained silent.

Has Sunagakure changed its mind?
Or are they from other villages?

Even people within the village?
There are too many possibilities.

Yagura took a deep breath, suppressing the questions in his mind.

The issue now is not about finding out who the murderer is, but about how to continue things with Sunagakure.

Terminating peace talks and alliances?

Or continue?

After a moment's hesitation, Yagura decided to continue with the peace talks and alliance.

We cannot let the hard-won policy be interrupted because of Yekura or a sudden accident.

Yagura then issued two orders in quick succession.

First, the secret police are tracking down the murderer.

Secondly, Jonin Ao led a small team to Sunagakure to hold the village accountable and push for the continuation of peace talks and alliances.

Inside a cave in the land of rivers.

The campfire flickered, and Yekura slowly awoke: "Have we...have we arrived at the Pure Land?"

"So you can still feel temperature after you die..." Yecang turned his neck, and his blurry vision saw the flickering firelight and a figure.

"You're awake!"

A gentle voice sounded in her ear, and Yecang shuddered, her blurry vision gradually clearing.

"who are you?"

Yekura sprang to her feet, her eyes warily fixed on Genichi beneath the tree: "A Konoha ninja?"

"You saved me?"

"Where is this place?"

Genichi Kishita, who had already deactivated his Sharingan, smiled gently: "Let's take it one question at a time."

"I am from Konoha."

"It was indeed I who saved you."

"This is the land of rivers."

Yekura still looked warily at Genichi under the tree: "Why did you save me?"

Xuan Yi held up three fingers under the tree: "Three reasons."

"First, I will disrupt your peace talks with Kirigakure."

Yecang's expression changed, but then anger, disappointment, and sadness filled her heart.

Genichi under the tree continued, "Secondly, I admire your strength."

Third, I am someone who appreciates and cherishes beautiful things.

He tossed the water bottle beside him to Yekura and asked Genichi Kichi, "Are you extremely angry inside?"

"After all, he had just become a hero of the village, but he was betrayed in the blink of an eye and became a sacrifice for the so-called greater good."

Ye Cang gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Shuxia Genichi didn't seem to mind: "Want revenge?"

Yekura took a deep breath and stared at Genichi under the tree: "You want to use my hatred to deal with Sunagakure?"

Genichi under the tree shook his finger: "No, you've misunderstood!"

"I don't need to exploit your hatred."

"I saved you, so from now on, you belong to me."

"Even if it's just to repay a debt of gratitude, you should obey all my orders."

"As for dealing with Sunagakure? With your strength, how many people could you possibly kill?"

Yekura retorted indignantly, "Don't underestimate me! I am Yekura, the Scorching Release!"

Genichi chuckled lightly: "No, you've overestimated yourself!"

"If you were important enough and powerful enough, why would Sunagakure treat you as a disposable sacrifice?"

Yekura's fire was extinguished instantly.

His heart was pierced by Genichi under the tree.

Looking at Yecang, who was bowing his head in sorrow, Genichi Shushita remained calm.

Just because someone has a beautiful back doesn't mean I have to be a simp.

Genichi Kishita certainly didn't think that saving his life would make Yekura submit.

Ye Cang is a strong woman with a powerful mind and is very smart. She knows that he has a purpose in saving people.

In that case, the debt of gratitude for saving my life is essentially meaningless.

Therefore, Genichi Kinoshita must be forceful and take the opportunity to shatter Yoko's will and self-confidence, first control her, and then gradually enslave her body and mind.

"So, if you want revenge, what are you planning to do?"

Xuan Yi asked from under the tree.

Ye Cang looked up: "Of course, it's about killing all those who betrayed me."

“I have given so much for them, but now I almost died. They have let me down.”

"Therefore, I will destroy Sunagakure!"

Yekura, who had been stabbed by Genichi Kinoshita, became even more extreme.

Genichi under the tree scolded, "Foolish!"

"No wonder he was treated as a scapegoat; he has some strength but no brains."

hateful!

Ye Cang gritted his teeth, his fists already hard, and glared fiercely at Genichi under the tree: This bastard is too humiliating!
However, this humiliation also tormented her more and more.

Genichi Shushita said calmly, "As far as I know, it was the higher-ups of Sunagakure who agreed to Kirigakure's conditions in order to negotiate an alliance with Kirigakure, and used you as a sacrifice."

"This is a decision made by the higher-ups of Sunagakure."

"Your enemy should be the higher-ups in Sunagakure, not the entire village."

"Those villagers, and your disciples, still regard you as a hero!"

Real tree!

Ye Cang's heart trembled.

However, Genichi Shushita's words were not meant to comfort Yokura, nor to dispel her hatred.

Instead, it incites hatred.

As he said before, how much damage could Pakura alone cause to Sunagakure?

Even if Yekura joins Konoha, her impact will be limited.

Her physical strength was far less useful than her identity as a hero.

"Yakura, your enemy is the corrupt higher-ups of Sunagakure."

"Do you want the people you're protecting to be fooled by them?"

"Do you really want your disciple to be sacrificed like a pawn by the Sand Village's higher-ups for their own gain, just like you have been?"

"Or do you want the village you're protecting to be led and ruled by such a corrupt entity?"

"Your heart, your vision, your capacity... is that all you have? Can you only bear this insignificant hatred?"

Genichi's words were like heavy hammer blows to Yokura's heart and soul.

At this moment, Yecang's inner defenses, inner strength, inner hatred, and past beliefs were all ruthlessly shattered by Genichi Shushita.

Then the process of restructuring and reshaping begins.

Genichi Shushita stood up and came to Yekura's side. He reached out and pinched her chin, lifting it up and looking down into her tear-streaked eyes. His gaze pierced her heart: "I don't want to save just an empty shell. Otherwise, I don't mind destroying you."

After saying that, Xuan Yi turned around and walked to the cave entrance.

Ye Cang turned his head to look at the figure standing at the cave entrance, and felt that he was incredibly majestic.

A moment later, Yecang wiped away her tears, then stood up to face Genichi's retreating figure under the tree: "I understand, thank you!"

"I want to become the Wind Shadow!"

"Only in this way can Sunagakure be changed!"

Genichi under the tree slowly turned around, a smile playing on his lips: "Oh?"

"Nice idea."

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Yecang clenched his fist and said, "I want to go back to the village, expose the ugliness of the Fourth Kazekage, and remove him from the position of Kazekage."

Genichi's smile froze for a moment, then he shook his head in disappointment: "Too stupid!"

"How are you going to expose the Kazekage's ugliness? Are you going to go and talk to every villager and ninja in Sunagakure?"

"You might even be accused of disrupting the peace for personal gain, and then be taken down by the Sand Village's higher-ups."

"If you take care of the Fourth Kazekage first, you might still have a chance."

"But are you a match for the Fourth Kazekage?"

Ye Cang remained silent.

She wasn't confident she could beat Luo Sha.

Especially in the Land of Wind.

"So, what should I do?"

Ye Cang asked.

Genichi Shushita didn't answer, but said, "You should replenish your strength first."

"As for the solution, we can think of it slowly."

"Don't easily become dependent on others."

"Also, don't ask for my opinion unless you have absolute trust in me."

"You should know that I am a ninja from Konoha."
