"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!!"

"Roar!!"

A black lightning bolt in the shape of a leopard detached from his hand and raced along the path created by his Storm Release attack.

"How boring!" Darui casually returned to his original position, one hand on his hip and the other scratching his head.

Many people are praising Darui, considering that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Not only is he able to unleash such a powerful attack, but his control ability is also so strong.

Then, Kazekage Rasa also sent out his best guards to perform.

Zhang Ye himself was unaware of all this; the Zhang Ye on the rooftop of the Water Shadow Building was merely an avatar of his.

But he himself is currently underground in Kirigakure!

That's right, it's underground!

After using his avatar, Zhang Ye followed Zhibo's aura to the underground of Kirigakure. This place was not a filthy sewer; on the contrary, it was very clean. Although it was damp, there was no moss growing, which showed that it was regularly cleaned.

"Could it be that every village has a secret base like this?" Zhang Ye cautiously crept along the winding path.

The location work here is not as secure as the research base in Iwagakure Village; in fact, it's quite lax!

It's possible that because Chihiro is about to ascend to the throne of Mizukage, many ninjas will be involved, which is why the defenses here are relatively lax. Of course, it could also be because Kirigakure is located on the sea, and few people dare to sneak into their village.

Along the way, Zhang Ye only encountered two or three guards, and these guards seemed listless.

"If my men looked like this, I'd beat them so badly their own mothers wouldn't recognize them!" Zhang Ye retorted.

"who!?"

A ninja from the mist came over at the corner and happened to hear Zhang Ye's complaints. Not only that, but he also bumped right into Zhang Ye!

Zhang Ye whispered, "This is bad!"

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed. The latter was about to shout to get his companion's attention, but was that even possible?

Zhang Ye's eyes widened, a crimson glint flashing within them, and the Mist Ninja fell straight to the ground.

Then Zhang Ye kicked the man, slamming him against the wall. The wall then began to writhe and swallowed the man whole.

"It seems I was too complacent." Zhang Ye sighed helplessly.

boom! !

White smoke erupted beside Zhang Ye, and when the smoke dissipated, Zhang Ye's figure transformed into that of the mist ninja from before.

Although the Transformation Technique is the lowest level of ninjutsu, in many situations, if used well, it can be more dangerous than those S-rank ninjutsu.

After transforming into this person's appearance, Zhang Ye became even more unscrupulous.

He strode inside. The road wasn't very long, and soon Zhang Ye arrived at an iron gate.

Two Mist Ninjas stood beside the iron gate. When they saw Zhang Ye, they teased, "Hey, Suzuki, you're back again? Want another drink?"

Drinking? This guy's an alcoholic.

Zhang Ye's lips twitched, but he still said, "Yeah, there's nothing we can do. It's too damp here, and it's really cold without a drink!"

“That’s true,” the Mist Ninja replied, glancing at the person next to him. The two exchanged a smile.

"But you'll have to wait a bit. Lord Mizukage just went in. If you go in now, I'm sure you'll be in for a rough time!" He shrugged. "Hey, I want to have a couple of drinks too. Let's wait a bit longer. Once Lord Mizukage leaves, we'll have a good drink together!"

"What is Lord Mizukage going in for?" Zhang Ye asked, feigning confusion.

"Are you stupid? The Anbu members escorted four ninjas who had defected from our Hidden Mist Village. You saw it yourself, why are you asking when you already know the answer!"

"You know how it is when you drink alcohol and your head gets a little foggy, hahaha!" Zhang Ye said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"That's true, hahaha!"

He glanced around and beckoned to Zhang Ye, "Come here, sir, I have some good stuff here!" He put his hands in his pockets, a move that displeased his companions.

"Hey, An Yan, you're really not a good friend. We've been partners for so long, and you don't even share your good stuff with me? Don't you consider me a buddy?" Domoto said with dissatisfaction. He took a step towards An Yan, wanting to see what good stuff An Yan had brought.

Seeing his partner's dissatisfaction, Yasuhiko smiled and said, "I originally planned to take it out after the Mizukage left, but Suzuki wanted to drink, and besides, you don't drink, so what are you looking at!"

Upon hearing this, Domoto frowned, retracted his step, and put on a smile.

"Oh, it's alcohol. I have no interest in this stuff!" Domoto said, crossing his arms.

An Yan frowned when he saw Zhang Ye still standing there and said, "What are you standing there for? Come here!"

"Oh, I'm coming." Zhang Ye didn't want to talk to these two too much. He had originally planned to use illusion magic to control them, but now that this An Yan was asking him to come over, wasn't this like a rabbit inviting a tiger, or living beyond its means?

Zhang Ye approached An Yan and pretended to be intently watching An Yan's hand as she reached into her clothes.

"Let me tell you, this is the sake served at the banquet Yagura hosted for the daimyo last time. I've been treasuring it for a while now. Today is Lord Haruhiro's first day as Mizukage, so let's drink this sake to celebrate!"

As he spoke, An Yan slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, a smug smile on his face.

"Really? Then I'll have to give it a good try!" Zhang Ye feigned a surprised expression, but inwardly he was quite disdainful.

What good could the wine that Shuiying is serving at his banquet be? Could it be better than his own Moutai? You must be joking!

"Lie down!"

A cold glint appeared first, followed by... An Yan holding a kunai and stabbing it towards Zhang Ye's heart.

"Holy crap, An Yan, what are you doing? I'm Suzuki!" Zhang Ye jumped back and shouted.

To be honest, he was genuinely surprised by An Yan's sudden attack. Could it be that this person had discovered he wasn't Suzuki?

It really is!

"Suzuki? You killed him long ago! Who are you?" Domoto also produced a long sword, the tip of which was pointed at Zhang Ye.

"I already guessed you weren't Suzuki the moment you said you got drunk!" An Yan said coldly. "Everyone knows Suzuki is a heavy drinker. Domoto might say he gets drunk, but Suzuki would never do that. Besides, you believed me when I said Domoto doesn't like drinking. He's just like Suzuki, equally addicted to alcohol. If he didn't like drinking, I'd cut off my head and give it to you as a chamber pot!"

"..."

Zhang Ye looked at the two men with a gloomy expression; this was completely different from the direction of his script.

I remember in the past, the protagonist could blend into the enemy ranks for a long time by simply changing his clothes, and the enemy wouldn't even notice until they were almost all dead. How come the enemy discovered me in such a short time? And they even staged a whole show, which I, who have read Stanislavski's "An Actor Prepares," didn't even realize. Their IQ is way off the mark!

"And another thing, if I had that kind of fine wine, do you think I could still keep it safe? Domoto and Suzuki would have drunk it all up long ago!" An Yan said smugly. "Alright, tell me your name, I never kill nameless nobodies!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let's just finish this!" Domoto shouted coldly, charging towards Zhang Ye with his sword drawn. A flash of azure light appeared on the samurai sword in his hand.

"Crescent Slash!!"

A sword beam, as sharp as the rising moon, slashed towards Zhang Ye.

"You two are quite good." Zhang Ye casually dodged Domoto's attack and praised the two of them.

If An Yan were a detective, he'd be quite intelligent, but as a ninja, even eating a hundred or eighty pig brains wouldn't make up for his mentally challenged brain.

Couldn't he see the difference in strength between the two sides?

How could two elite Jonin possibly be a match for Zhang Ye? Even a ninja who is slightly proficient in sensory ninjutsu could clearly tell that Zhang Ye's level was not at all on the same level as theirs!

"But it's only not bad!" Zhang Ye said calmly, then suddenly bent down, rushed forward, and pointed a finger at Domoto's forehead.

The latter rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"What did you do?" An Yan exclaimed, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"I didn't do anything, just let him have a nightmare he can never wake up from!" Zhang Ye smiled slightly: "What, do you want to do it too? I can grant your wish!"

"No, no need..." An Yan pressed his back against the wall, desperately hoping that a hole would appear in the wall behind him so he could escape through it.

"I'm sorry, it's too late!"

After saying that, Zhang Ye used his Sharingan genjutsu to make him faint...

Chapter 222 Escape

As the Sharingan genjutsu was activated, An Yan's face turned extremely pale, as if he had seen some kind of prehistoric beast. Without even letting out a scream, he clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground, his whole body convulsing uncontrollably.

Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Zhang Ye walked towards the iron gate, placed one hand on it, and his appearance changed the moment he reached out. He wore a black cloak and carried a scythe taller than himself on his back.

"break!"

With a low shout from Zhang Ye, a huge wooden stake shot out from his palm, smashing through the iron gate.

Who is it!?

The iron gate was knocked away by the impact of the wooden stake. The space inside was not large, with a table and a chair, and four people tied to the wooden stake.

Sitting in the chair, Zhibo frowned and shouted. When he saw Zhang Ye's appearance, his frown deepened.

Why are you here?

"Why can't I come!" Zhang Ye replied vaguely, realizing that his guess was correct; they really did know each other.

After Zhang Ye finished speaking, he looked at the four people tied to the pillar. From left to right, they were: Ao, Juzo Biwa, Raiga Kurosuki, and Zabuza.

Of the four, the one most seriously injured was not Zabuza, who had the lowest rank, but Ao, who had the highest rank. His left eye was a bloody mess, and if he did not receive timely treatment, his left eye would probably be completely ruined. His shirt had also been torn off, revealing his strong muscles, but his body was covered with both new and old wounds. The new wounds were obviously from being whipped.

The leather whip used to lash Ao was casually tossed aside on the ground, while Zabuza and the other two remained indifferent. Perhaps they had realized that this form of torture was completely ineffective in extracting information, so they gave up.

Zhibo said coldly, "I remember Lord Black Zetsu said that you would only come after I became the Mizukage. Isn't it too early now?"

"Not early at all!" Zhang Ye chuckled softly, stomped his right foot on the ground, and four vines of the same thickness rose from the ground and bound together to form a brand new chair. He plopped down on it and played with the sickle.

"Hmph, I see you're all eager to take over Kirigakure. I told you, once I've taken my revenge, you can do whatever you want with Kirigakure. Right now, my enemies don't even have a single clue!" Zhibo said coldly.

"Huh? Didn't you find him? I only came here because I heard Yagura was arrested. Could it be that you didn't arrest Yagura?" Zhang Ye feigned surprise, then covered his mouth under his cloak with his hand: "You're not planning to breach the contract, are you? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Hmph, Yagura..." Jibo's face was terrifyingly cold. He came to Ao's side and punched Ao in the stomach, causing Ao's bile to come out. Then he took out a handkerchief to wipe the filth off his body. "That bastard Ao actually used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into Yagura's appearance and came to Kirigakure with great fanfare. We caught him. Now that bastard Yagura should still be plotting something in Kirigakure!"

"Oh dear!" Zhang Ye leaned back lazily in his chair and teased, "You're not that unhelpful, are you? Or are you doubting that we're giving you enough help?"

“No!” Zhibo shook his head and said, “What you gave me was more than enough. It allowed me, who was only a Jonin before, to become someone who surpassed Kage level in a short period of time, giving me the means to take revenge!”

Zhang Ye frowned upon hearing Zhi Bo's words.

From his words, Zhang Ye gleaned several pieces of information: First, before fighting Yagura, Zhibo was only a Jonin, and Yagura was very likely the enemy he mentioned; second, he was able to become so strong thanks to the help of Black Zetsu and the others, but Zhang Ye had no idea what the price was; third, the scientists of Black Zetsu and the others had already achieved such powerful scientific research results that they could enable Jonin to surpass Kage level in a short period of time and even make them Kekkei Genkai ninjas.

terrible!

This is Zhang Ye's assessment of Black Zetsu and his team!

Obtaining a bloodline limit requires not only talent, but also perseverance and dedication! To acquire so many bloodline limits without doing anything is far beyond Zhang Ye's imagination.
