To be honest, Yekura was very dissatisfied with Rasa, but not to the point of wanting to kill him. It was just that Rasa had colluded with Onoki and was secretly plotting something, which forced her to think about the future of Sunagakure.
This line of thinking is easily swayed, and Bai Mu directly misled the person, implying that only by eradicating Rasa could Sunagakure be saved.
As a result, Ye Cang's usual words and actions naturally aroused Luo Sha's suspicion. He was already too powerful, and now he was actually acting recklessly...
Isn't that just plain suicide?
For politicians, whether they rebel or not is not important. The key is that you have the prestige and power. Then even if you are loyal, it is not true loyalty. Moreover, some of your actions, Yecang, are aimed at me. You want to overthrow me, the Kazekage. So how can I let you have your way?
That's impossible, so Luo Sha took the initiative and acted even if it was just a suspicion. He was ruthless, but how could he succeed without being ruthless?
This was inevitable, so it was reasonable. When Yekura found out, she was not surprised, but she was still a little angry. What did I get in return for my hard work for Sunagakure?
It's the suppression from higher-ups and Feng Ying's murderous intent towards me, they want to take my life, right?
Fine, I won't stand on ceremony either. Since you've sent people, you're the one who should make the first move.
I was forced to fight back, and it was for the sake of the village.
“Three squads, it looks like we’re going to have to kill them.” Orochimaru didn’t care about Pakura’s attitude, but continued to exude confidence.
"Your Konoha is really scary. The secret mission arranged by the Kazekage was intercepted by you. It's full of loopholes."
Pakura felt that the information Orochimaru revealed was a tragedy for Sunagakure, that it was riddled with holes, and that even the Kazekage had spies around him.
The assassination attempt on him must have been carried out in secret, and was carried out by Luo Sha's own trusted confidants.
But what was the result? The secret was leaked the moment the plan was made.
Konoha knows all about it perfectly well...
What secrets could Sunagakure possibly hold?
It's riddled with flaws!
Can she accept it? No.
"Intelligence work has always been like this. Doesn't Sunagakure also have spies in Konoha?" Orochimaru smiled, unconcerned by Pakura's sarcastic tone, and calmly replied.
The practice of arranging spies for each other is an open secret among the villages.
"Hmph, our spies don't have that kind of ability," Ye Cang said coldly. Her fear of Konoha was so deep that it was ingrained in her bones, but she herself was unaware of it.
Orochimaru simply smiled and said nothing more.
Now, let's see how Yekura deals with the attacking assassination squad. After all, they are elites from Sunagakure. This scene is quite interesting. He's not worried about losing himself.
Because of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Orochimaru is now truly confident.
The fact that the Thousand Hands Brothers can't use it doesn't mean that others can't.
Now that this technique has been mastered, it will be of great use to the strongest ninjas in the world...
There must have been some information collected. Among the past Kage of Sunagakure, the information on the First and Second Hokage is still usable, but no information was collected on the Third Hokage. However, information was collected on the two preceding Hokage, so the Impure World Reincarnation is not difficult.
If necessary, I will use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect the First and Second Kazekage, so that the people of Sunagakure can properly listen to the teachings of their own Kage.
Yekura, seeing that Orochimaru remained silent, suddenly felt bored.
Therefore, she had no choice but to continue her journey. As for the attackers? She'd deal with them when she encountered them. The Land of Wind was so vast, and this was a remote area in the desert; it was unlikely she would run into them.
That's what she thought, but unexpectedly, she ran into it very soon.
"They arrived quite quickly, and their tracking technology is indeed extraordinary; they're from the Dark Division."
Ye Cang quickly analyzed the situation, never expecting to encounter someone who came to kill him so soon.
Yero and his team arrived, and they were also surprised to encounter Yekura so soon. They thought they would meet her at the border, since the news said she had gone to the border area near the River Country.
If we meet here, the only explanation is that the other party rushed back; something unexpected has happened...
Ok?
Who is that?
Orochimaru was dressed very conservatively, with a robe over his face, a face mask covering his face, and a hat wrapped around his head. He was completely covered up, with only his eyes showing.
Therefore, Yero couldn't recognize who it was, but Yecang clearly went out alone, so there must be something wrong with him returning with someone else.
However, Hierro did not intend to reveal his intentions directly. Instead, he planned to deliberately bump into him in order to launch a sneak attack later.
Yekura is not easy to deal with. Although he has brought three squads, a total of thirteen people, killing a Jonin seems easy, but he will not gamble on it.
Even if you could kill them, the losses would be huge, but if you launched a sneak attack, it would be a different story.
Since Yekura doesn't know what she's doing here anyway, a sneak attack is the most cost-effective option.
"Lord Ye Cang."
Yero was very respectful.
He said softly, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Have you completed your mission and are you heading back to the village?"
As they spoke, they slowly approached without leaving a trace. The others did the same, all tacitly spreading out and waiting for their chance to strike.
As expected of the elite members of the Dark Guard carefully selected by Yero, their teamwork is impeccable; they know what to do without Yero even needing to give instructions.
Yekura didn't reply and immediately started with Scorching Release.
Suddenly, multiple fireballs appeared and rushed towards the enemy.
Yero: "..."
No, what happened?
Why did they suddenly take action?
He didn't understand what was happening.
But Yekura's sudden action must be a problem.
"Ye Cang, are you crazy?"
He managed to avoid it, but the others weren't so lucky. They died instantly from the scorching escapade, and their deaths were extremely gruesome. After all, the water in their bodies was instantly evaporated, turning them into dried corpses. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Yero was both shocked and furious. He really hadn't expected Yecang to make a move so suddenly. Did she know? Or was it intentional on her part? But why?
What a bad start!
They had planned a sneak attack, but it failed.
The crucial point is that before even making a move, they've already lost three men. Including themselves, there were thirteen people in total across the three squads; now, with three down to three, only ten remain. This…
Damn it, what's going on?
Hiero was completely baffled and had no idea where things had gone wrong.
Chapter 290 You people of Konoha are very treacherous!
"You're all going to kill me, and you still say I'm crazy?" Ye Cang's face was full of anger, and three fireballs appeared in his hands. He was even more resentful of Yero's words.
You were the ones who came to kill me, but you're acting like I'm the one who's wrong.
You all deserve to die!
Yero was startled upon hearing this.
She did know, but why?
Yero felt a chill run down his spine upon learning that Yekura knew about this. This mission was personally assigned by Rasa, who secretly selected key members of the Dark Division to carry it out. There was no way there could have been a leak...
But when Yekura found out, that was a leak.
How could there be a leak? That's impossible!
Hiero could not accept it, much less believe it.
Is there a problem on my side? But these are all subordinates I trust, so this situation is impossible.
"Ye Cang, you've misunderstood. We're carrying out a secret mission under the orders of Lord Fengying. There's no way we're talking about killing you. That's utter nonsense."
Yero certainly couldn't admit it; if he did, things would get out of hand.
Of course, the main thing now is to figure out how Yekura found out about this, otherwise killing her wouldn't be safe, and who knows if it would leak out.
"Stop acting, I know everything. You truly are Rasa's most loyal dogs, but you are doomed to die." Yekura controlled the Scorching Release fireball, refusing to continue the conversation with Rasa and the others.
say what?
There's no point in saying it.
Continuing this conversation would be a waste of time.
Yero: "..."
Okay, it's completely collapsed.
There was no way to continue the discussion; he already knew in his heart that this deal was doomed to fail.
"Ye Cang, you colluded with outsiders and plotted to assassinate Feng Ying. You deserve to die." Yero didn't care about anything else and just pinned the crime on him first.
Whether it is or not is not important.
Anyway, this is the justification for taking action. There has to be a crime to justify killing someone, even if it's pointless.
"Hmph, you're absolutely right about colluding with outsiders."
Ye Cang didn't care about any of that, and instead sneered.
She did indeed collude with outsiders, conspiring with Konoha to stage a coup; that's absolutely true.
"you……"
Yero was somewhat bewildered.
Then he saw Orochimaru standing to the side, who had already removed his mask. Given Orochimaru's influence, no one in Sunagakure could deny recognizing him.
Needless to say, Yero, a key member of the Anbu, knew Orochimaru's appearance perfectly well, even better than his own parents.
No, it really is Orochimaru. You really did collude with him, and...
Konoha!
At this moment, Yero was covered in cold sweat and trembling all over. He really did not expect Ye Cang to play such a big game, to really collude with outsiders, especially the behemoth that is Konoha.
How do I do it?
