Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 441 These two actually joined forces

Ye Cang, panting heavily, stared at the arrow tower and walls destroyed by the Twin-Blade Flounder.

She was about to give up, and for some reason, the Mist Ninja retreated.

"Hero! Lady Yekura, you are a war hero!"

"Heroes of Shapo Port!"

In an instant, cheers erupted all around.

With two strongholds and fortresses, plus the 200 men brought by Yekura, a total of 320 Sand Ninja, they originally thought they would be enough to deal with the Kirigakure expeditionary force.

Unexpectedly, the Mist Ninja had hidden quite a few ninjas in the cabin, and the attacking Mist Ninja numbered over 400.

Yekura thought she would become the sinner of the village and lose Shapo Port, but unexpectedly, they actually repelled the Kirigakure.

Even the nobles hurriedly emerged from the depths of their mansions and came to the foot of the city wall to express their gratitude to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang knew something was wrong, but he could only force himself to continue, using the name of a war hero to encourage the terrified nobles.

After calming the nobles down, Yecang led his men to clean up the battlefield.

The battle raged from the shallows to the shore, from the pier to the warehouse, from the dock to the city, and from the outer city walls to the walls of the noble mansions.

There were corpses everywhere.

The corpses of ninjas, sailors, porters, civilians, samurai...

Walking through the streets littered with corpses, Ye Cang felt a bitter pang in his heart.

A ninja dragged a one-eyed sailor out of a basement.

"Lord Yekura, this person has a kunai stuck in his throat, but he seems to be breathing!"

Ye Cang looked at Hei Fan's trembling pupils and said, "Give him some water. This man has a strong will to live."

As Kuroko watched the Sand Ninjas depart, he thought to himself that these people couldn't even see through his immortality; the Evil God was truly amazing.

Soon, Yekura found a strange battlefield.

The place is littered with the corpses of Kirigakure ninja.

All the Mist Ninja died from the same cause: their throats were cut by kunai.

The absence of any trace of ninjutsu proves that the Mist Ninja did not have time to use ninjutsu.

Forget about ninjutsu, we couldn't even find a wooden stake for the substitution jutsu.

Yekura quickly found a pair of distinctive footprints that appeared in front of every Mist Ninja corpse.

The footprints showed no movement or twisting, proving that the killer didn't need to use his waist to weaken himself; a simple wave of his hand was enough to take a life.

He was incredibly strong... so strong that he defeated dozens of Mist Ninja using only taijutsu.

As Ye Cang was searching for clues, he suddenly saw a mound gun in the alley to the side!

Tulong spear?
This earthen spear is extremely unusual; the patterns on it resemble the ninjutsu of an old friend...
Yekura's chakra mentor, the person she met near the Crescent Moon Oasis.

That person possesses an exceptionally sharp skill with the Tulong spear.

That person was also Yecang's first and only man.

Yecang ordered his men to clear the battlefield in other areas. He followed the direction Tulong Spear was pointing until he was stopped by a voice.

"Ye Cang, come here."

Ye Cang quickly turned his head and saw a person standing on the second floor of a collapsed building!

Is that... is that him?
She hurriedly entered the building and stood on the floor, which was tilted at an angle of several tens of degrees.

Opposite her was a man, whose figure Yekura would never forget.

Ye Guang turned his head and looked at Ye Cang.

"Long time no see, Yecang."

"It's you! Miqu!"

The moonlight flickered for a moment.

He used aliases so often that he had forgotten which name he used during the time he spent with Yekura.

"Miqu, where have you been all these years? No! Who are you?"

Yekura repeatedly recalled the details of her encounter with Miku, and was quite certain that the encounter was shrouded in mystery.

"Ye Cang, actually I've been watching you all along," Ye Guang said.

"When we parted, I told you to be careful of Luo Sha, who is now Luo Sha Consultant."

But you didn't heed my advice.

"I'm being very careful with Rasa!" Yekura quickly retorted.
“Every time Luo Sha talks to me, I’m extremely careful, almost wanting to analyze the tone of his every word and his inner thoughts.” “It’s not that kind of carefulness,” Ye Guang said.

"As far as I know, Luo Sha tried to win you over, but you refused him."

Chiyo, being a woman like you, also tried to win you over, but you rejected her.

This leaves you isolated and helpless within Sunagakure.

After the Third Kazekage disappeared, the internal struggle within Sunagakure intensified.

The task of supporting Shapo Port, a task that is harmful and unprofitable, has fallen to you.

Once you complete the mission, you will receive a ruined port called Shapo.

If you fail your mission, you will become a sinner of Sunagakure.

You're in a terrible situation, you know that?

Ye Cang lowered his head and remained silent for a while before asking, "Mi Qu, who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about the factional struggles within our village?"

"Don't worry about how I know," Ye Guang said, walking towards Ye Cang.
“I was also wrong. Perhaps it was because I told you to be careful of Luo Sha that you became too wary of Luo Sha, which amplified the conflict between you.”

"Rasa sees you're getting closer to Chiyo, so he's using this mission to make you take the blame."

Yekura's face contorted with pain as she recalled the conflict between Rasa and Chiyo.
"The two advisors, Rasa and Chiyo, are becoming increasingly irreconcilable."

After the Third Kazekage disappeared, they turned the search for him into a battleground for power struggles.

It's no longer important where the Third Hokage is; what matters is whether they support each other's strategies.

Lord Rasa insisted on searching for his teacher throughout the entire ninja world, while Lady Chiyo believed that the village should be the priority.

No one was wrong, but the Sand Village ninja who supported the other side became a thorn in their side's side.

"I only want to protect Sunagakure and the Land of Wind, but they don't like me."

Ye Guang stepped forward and hugged Ye Cang.

Ye Cang trembled all over.

All I remember about Mi Qu is the memory; since Crescent Oasis, no man has ever been so intimate with me.

Gently stroking Yekura's smooth back, and secretly leaving the Flying Thunder God Technique seal, Yekura said:
"The Ninja World War is coming soon, Pakura, please be careful. Before we part, let me give you a gift."

Ye Guang lowered his head and kissed Ye Cang's lips.

At the moment of separation, Yoru bit Yoru's lower lip and took a drop of Yoru's blood.

Ye Cang's lower lip hurt a little, but she didn't say anything.

She was about to ask Mikoto why she knew so much about what was going on inside Sunagakure when she discovered that Mikoto had already disappeared.

She reached out in vain, trying to grab the man, but couldn't.

A sound lingered in the air.

"I will reappear when you are in mortal danger."
-
In the northwest of the Land of Wind, Rasa is leading thousands of Sand Ninja in search of Iwa Ninja, attempting to engage in a decisive battle with them.

We must clear out the Iwa ninja here to secure our share of the mission in the Land of Wind.

If the Land of Wind doesn't support Sunagakure, then Sunagakure is truly doomed.

"Lord Rasa! There are people in the sky!"

Luo Sha quickly looked up and saw two black dots in the night sky.

Enemies that can fly—Rasa instantly thought of Onoki from the Two-Plate.

There were only two black dots in the sky, and no other Iwa ninja nearby. It seemed more like they were there to negotiate than to declare war.

A cloud of sand appeared beneath Luo Sha's feet, carrying him into the sky.

High in the sky, he indeed saw Onoki.

However, another person terrified him even more!
The Third Raikage!
Why did the Third Raikage appear in the northwestern part of the Land of Wind?

Why did the Third Raikage act together with Onoki?
The Third Raikage was standing atop a large, white, exploding clay bird that could fly.

“Rasa, I know you can represent Sunagakure; you have the ability,” Onoki said.
"What are your thoughts on the upcoming Shinobi World War?"

Onoki's eyes were full of scrutiny, as if he and the Raikage would attack if Rasa said the wrong thing.

Rasa's gaze swept between the Tsuchikage and Raikage with confusion and fear.

These two actually joined forces? Aren't they supposed to have a deep-seated hatred for each other?
So who are they teaming up to take down?

Unlike myself, I don't deserve it.
