Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 120: Unwavering Love is Even More Exciting

"Hehe!" Li Yao chuckled mockingly, meeting the female ninja's angry gaze. Thinking of the Heavenly Pillar she had mentioned earlier, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he deliberately said, "Your husband, Sarutobi Heavenly Pillar, is not dead."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Ayase failed to grasp the trap in Li Yao's words and immediately turned to look at her husband, her eyes filled with both surprise and worry.

"Heaven... Heavenly Pillar." Sarutobi Ayase's voice was still hoarse.

"That's right, I am the son of the Third Hokage."

"You bastard, you're nothing but a dog my father let go by mistake, a dead dog that doesn't dare to seek revenge on my father."

"I am the son of the Third Hokage, what can you do to me? If you have the guts, kill me!"

"Come on, kill me if you dare!"

"ah!!"

Sarutobi Tenjuro collapsed, his eyes red with rage, his neck stretched out, glaring angrily at Li Yao, his expression completely crazed.

He didn't know why Li Yao was so certain that he and his father were related. He only knew that no matter whether he admitted it or not, Li Yao would not let him and his wife go.

"Haha... Don't worry... Hahaha... I won't kill you."

Li Yao continued to laugh as he responded to Sarutobi Tenjuro's words. Having finally captured the Third Hokage's son, how could he let Sarutobi Tenjuro die so easily?

On the contrary, Sarutobi Tenjuro's distorted behavior finally solidified the plan that had been lurking in Li Yao's mind.

He knew how to take revenge on the third generation in a way that would make the third generation suffer torment a hundred or even ten thousand times more painful than physical or mental pain.

He will not kill Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife, nor will he kill the Third Hokage, his wife, or any of the women of the Sarutobi clan.

He wants to take over Konoha; he wants to become the Hokage of Konoha.

He wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha in the very way the Third Hokage feared, using the identity the Third Hokage hated most.

Then imprison the Third Hokage and let him see for himself how he destroyed his beloved clan and Konoha, the ninja village where his beliefs were based.

He wanted to modify the Will of Fire technique, portraying the Third Hokage as a perverted executioner and a traitor who betrayed the village.

He required all the children who entered the Konoha Ninja Academy to read aloud the Third Hokage's evil deeds every day.

He wanted to make the Third Hokage synonymous with a traitor to Konoha.

He wanted to make the Third Hokage the most despicable Hokage in history, someone everyone would despise.

He wants to make the name Konoha disappear completely from the ninja world.

He wanted the third generation to witness, like Sarutobi Tensuke, how his beloved possessions were destroyed and crumbled bit by bit by Li Yao.

Only in this way can the third generation feel his deep love and care.

"Hahaha...I can't wait!!"

Thinking of the wonderful things, Li Yao burst into a wild laugh, drool dripping from his mouth.

This grotesque scene sent chills down Sarutobi Tenjuro's spine, making him tremble all over. Even his frantic screams from just moments before froze in place.

Li Yao said he wouldn't kill the couple.

However, Sarutobi Tenju would rather Li Yao kill him and his wife right now; he didn't want to live any longer.

He knew that Li Yao would have even more ruthless methods waiting for him.

"Heaven... Heavenly Pillar..."

While Li Yao was acting abnormally and Sarutobi Tenju was in despair and wanted to die, Sarutobi Ayase kept seeing her husband's gaze in her mind.

She felt an unprecedented pain in her heart.

Feel the long hair hanging down in a tangled mess, smell the unique floral scent of the shower gel emanating from it, and feel the buttery sheen on her skin.

Now, under her husband's averted gaze, her heart...

pain!

It hurts so much!

She instantly lost the will to live, glanced at her husband one last time, and then stuck out her tongue and bit down hard.

"laugh!"

In an instant, blood gushed from Sarutobi Ayase's mouth.

"That's ruthless!" Li Yao was somewhat surprised.

I never expected this woman to be so resolute; she truly is a woman.

He was much more decisive than Sarutobi Tensuke, who looked desperate but kept using provocation to get himself to kill him.

"No... Ayase!!!"

Sarutobi Tenju finally looked at his wife directly and frantically twisted his body to get closer to her. However, Li Yao controlled the black iron chains, preventing him from moving in place and getting closer to his wife.

"Don't do anything stupid!!!"

"You stupid woman!!!"

Sarutobi Tenjuro shouted wildly while staring intently into his wife's eyes, conveying a message through a gaze that only the two of them could understand.

"Add...add vinegar..."

With her tender tongue half bitten off, Sarutobi Ayase spoke with a lisp and unclear speech, but her face was full of astonishment. Then, as if she remembered something, her astonishment quickly turned into regret and guilt.

She understood the meaning conveyed in her husband's eyes.

The husband wanted to exchange his own death for a chance for her to escape Li Yao's torment and return to Konoha alive.

However, she had just felt heartbroken because of her husband's averted gaze, thinking that he disliked her current ugly appearance and no longer loved her.

It turns out that her husband is still the same husband who loves her as always.

She was already very content with having such a husband.

Sarutobi Ayase made up her mind.

She wanted to use her own death to give her husband a chance to escape Li Yao and return to Konoha alive.

Sarutobi Ayase let her severed tongue bleed profusely.

Sarutobi Tenjuro saw the determination in his wife's eyes and knew that she wanted to use his method to save him.

"Li Yao, save my wife!"

"I know you have Wood Release chakra, so you can definitely heal this kind of injury easily."

"As long as you can save my wife, you can do whatever you want with me, torture me however you want."

"Please, save my wife, Li Yao!"

Li Yao would definitely not let his third-generation daughter-in-law die like that.

"Don't worry, with such a strong love between you, how could I bear to let you die?"

As he spoke, Li Yao gently placed his hands on the woman's silky back, channeling Wood Release chakra to heal her injuries.

To be honest, Sarutobi Tenjuro's relationship with his wife was beyond Li Yao's expectations. He thought that after the torment of the previous series of Dark World dishes and the fact that he had offended his wife in front of her, their relationship would develop cracks.

I never imagined that their relationship would be so sincere and strong.

This... really excited Li Yao.
