Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 299

Back at the foot of the mountain where Konoha's stronghold was located, Yecang spat out a scroll from her mouth. This was something she had prepared in advance after successfully developing the Red Temperature Mode, in order to prevent the current situation from happening again.

After getting dressed again, Yecang went up to the middle of the mountain.

She was still wearing a sexy ninja outfit that revealed her beautiful back and two long, white arms.

Having been tempered by war, Yekura exudes a unique charm that sets her apart from other women.

There are many beautiful women with great figures, but there are fewer women who are beautiful, have great figures, and are also more capable than many men.

Such women are more likely to arouse men's interest.

The Sand Ninja who remained at the base, upon seeing Yekura return and reappear, and recalling the fleeting glimpse of her alluring naked back, all of them, including the two heavily injured, couldn't help but subconsciously swallow.

Pairs of eyes, trying hard to suppress their burning desire but unable to hide it, were fixed on Ye Cang.

Ye Cang was already used to it and didn't care about the men's gazes. No matter how much they stared at her, they couldn't have her anyway, so she just let them look.

"...You stay here, the rest of you follow me."

Without wasting words, Ye Cang left two people to take the two wounded back, while the remaining six followed her deeper into the Land of Fire to attack Konoha's stronghold.

In this battle, we must annihilate as many of Konoha's forces as possible.

"Sing..."

Less than three minutes after the group advanced, the cry of an eagle came from high in the sky, and Ye Cang and the others stopped.

One of them said, "Lord Yecang, this is our messenger hawk."

"Mm." Ye Cang nodded; she had also heard it.

Each village has its own trained hawks. These hawks are of the same breed, but their calls when delivering messages have been trained to be different.

That's why Yekura and the others could tell that the carrier hawk high in the sky belonged to their village.

However, to get the homing hawk to come down, it needs a special call in response.

Some of their companions make this special cry.

"eagle……"

One of the Sand Ninja who followed them bent two fingers and stuck them into his mouth, making a peculiar sound.

Upon hearing this peculiar cry, the hawk seemed to receive a signal from its master and swiftly flew down from the sky, landing on the shoulder of a Sand Ninja next to Yekura.

The hawk had a scroll tied to its leg.

Ye Cang's subordinate untied the letter from under the hawk's feet and handed it to Ye Cang.

"A letter arriving at this time..."

Ye Cang took the letter and opened it, her brows furrowing slightly. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

After reading the contents of the letter, this bad premonition came true, even shocking Yekura.

"They actually lost!"

Ye Cang's pupils dilated; the letter actually contained very little information.

Sasori was defeated, by the strongman who made his name in the last Shinobi World War by stepping on their Sand Village - Konoha's White Fang.

The key point is that Scorpion didn't die; instead, he escaped.

This made Yekura somewhat puzzled.

To be honest, although I don't want to admit it, Sasori is very strong. Faced with the wide-range attack of that Sand Iron Lightning Realm, Yekura knew that she couldn't withstand it either.

Moreover, Scorpion can fly, so as long as he's in the air, he's invincible.

There are no flying ninjas in Konoha right now.

Konoha's White Fang is skilled in Lightning Release, but he cannot fly.

Therefore, when faced with the combined forces of Konoha's White Fang and Orochimaru, Pakura's initial thought was...

Alternatively, Konoha's White Fang, using his lightning-fast and terrifying White Lightning Dagger under Orochimaru's cover, launched a surprise attack, delivering a fatal blow to Sasori.

If Sasori flies high into the sky, even if Konoha's White Fang is fast and his attacks are sharp, it will be useless if he can't hit Sasori.

Therefore, either Sasori is killed, or he can use the powerful endurance of the Puppet Heart to hold off Orochimaru and Konoha's White Fang.

However, the current situation is that Scorpion is not dead, but he has escaped.

In this situation, there are only two possibilities: the scorpion is too badly injured to fight and can only flee.

However, the letter did not mention that Scorpion was seriously injured, so Scorpion should not have been seriously injured.

If the scorpion escaped without being seriously injured, there's only one possibility.

The opponent possesses powerful offensive ninjutsu that can ignore any of Sasori's defensive ninjutsu, allowing them to attack Sasori even when he is high in the sky.

Just like her brother-in-law's Wind Release: Slash, it ignores all defenses and attacks Sasori's main body directly.

Only under these circumstances will the scorpion flee.

Otherwise, Yekura wouldn't have known why Sasori would run away.

"As expected of the man who forced my brother-in-law to flee back then, his strength is indeed extraordinary."

Ye Cang sighed inwardly, while her eyes shone with anticipation. She wanted to meet the Konoha White Fang who had given her brother-in-law a hard time.

If I could defeat him... wouldn't that be like being able to openly mock my brother-in-law?

Thinking of that scene, Ye Cang couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Lord Yekura..." Several people were somewhat worried upon seeing Yekura's inconsistent expressions.

"Let's go back, Scorpion has been defeated."

Yekura composed herself, briefly recounted the information in the letter, tossed it to the others, and then turned and ran towards the Sunagakure base.

The others followed Yekura.

On the way, the others read the contents of the letter and learned that Sasori had been defeated by Konoha's White Fang.

Everyone was just as shocked as Yekura.

Despite knowing that Orochimaru and Konoha's White Fang are renowned Kage-level shinobi, Sasori's chances of defeating them are unknown, and he may even lose.

After all, Konoha's White Fang was a man who could force even the Fourth Kazekage to flee.

Compare this to the terrifying power of the Fourth Kazekage, who defeated the One-Tailed Shukaku to the point of begging for mercy.

The crowd was actually prepared for Scorpion to be defeated.

But they were still shocked.

Because over the past year, Sasori's terrifying strength has been evident to all, and the Sand Iron Lightning Realm's attacks also look more visually terrifying than Li Yao's Wind Release clone's slashes.

Sasori's invincible image in the hearts of the Sand Village ninja had already been quietly ingrained, but they were unaware of it.

Scorpion's defeat this time shocked those who were already somewhat prepared, and that's why.

"This is troublesome."

After the initial shock, the Sand Ninja sensed that they would no longer have the advantage in the upcoming war.

Sasori's defeat meant that a super strong person had appeared on Konoha's side, and on their side... the group suddenly looked at Yecang.

My initial worries suddenly turned into confidence.

Before today's battle, they didn't have much confidence that Yekura could defeat Konoha's White Fang.

After all, even Sasori couldn't defeat Konoha's White Fang. Although Pakura's Scorch Release was terrifying, it still made them lack confidence and feel that it was a bit lacking.

But now, thinking about the terrifying speed displayed by that sexy figure that looked like it was cast from magma, the group felt that Yekura was not much worse than Konoha's White Fang.

The White Fang of Konoha was proud of his terrifying speed and his White Lightning Dagger, which could cut through anything; the Sand Village knew all of this.

Now, Yekura possesses a terrifying speed that, in their eyes, is at least no less than that of Konoha's White Fang, and may even surpass it.

In addition, the Scorching Release has both terrifying single-point breakthrough attacks - Penetrating Flash - and wide-range attacks - Temperature Pressure.

It can be said that Yekura's Scorching Release: High Temperature is an extremely powerful bloodline limit created to counter all close-combat powerhouses.

Once the speed disadvantage is overcome, all close-combat ninjas will feel despair when facing Pakura's taijutsu, which radiates terrifying heat.

Thinking about all this, everyone became more confident and even looked forward to Konoha's White Fang and Yekura meeting and fighting to see who was stronger.

Soon, their expectations were met.
