Chapter 170 Bai Yezhao said

Inside the main hall of the capital city of the Land of Fire.

A middle-aged man, dressed in fine clothes, with a listless look in his eyes and a slightly overweight figure, was quietly reading a book in his hands.

As the pages of the book were turned, the man's emotions were inevitably drawn to the plot.

After a long while, he let out a sigh, put down the book, and exclaimed, "Bai Ye's actions are those of a true man."

"I never imagined there were so many beautiful women among the ninjas. Perhaps I can emulate Byakuya's actions."

Thinking this, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the next moment the officer beside him said, "Major, what are your orders?"

"I heard the Chunin Exams are in two weeks. I read the contents of the Book of Prophecy and it seems there are some extraordinary women in the ninja world. Perhaps I'd like to take one as a concubine. What do you think?"

After reading Byakuya's book, the daimyo began to have thoughts about these ninjas who had no prior connection with him because of the plot, and he greatly admired Byakuya's behavior in the story.

"This... Your Excellency, you must not! The Chunin Exams in half a month are fraught with danger. I do not recommend that Your Excellency go there in person. As for the concubine, that is easy to say..." A minister hurriedly advised, but his words were then interrupted.

"Reporting to the Daimyo, a ninja from Konoha Village has come to deliver a message on behalf of the Hokage," a guard outside shouted.

"Oh, please come in quickly," Daimyo said happily.

This was just the right opportunity; given his status as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, directly requesting a concubine from Konoha would be more effective than anything else.

Not long after, a silver-haired man whose face was completely covered by a mask and whose left eye was covered by a headband walked up.

The moment he saw the other person, based on the plot of the book, Daimyo immediately recognized him as Kakashi Hatake, who could exchange blows with anyone in the book.

"I've long heard of the Copy Ninja's name. I wonder what brings you here on behalf of the Hokage?" the Daimyo said warmly, showing a fondness for Kakashi due to the storyline.

Looking at the daimyo before him, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before taking out a letter written by Byakuya from his ninja bag: "This is a letter written by a special advisor to Konoha, with the Hokage's permission. Please accept this decree, daimyo."

"What did you say? Accept the imperial decree?" Everyone present, including the Grand Master, was stunned.

Isn't that a bit inappropriate? It sounds like you're the boss and we're the lackeys being bossed around. Let's get the supply and demand dynamic right.

"How dare you speak so offensively and disrespectfully to your esteemed name!" a minister immediately shouted.

But Kakashi stopped explaining, inwardly lamenting his bad luck in drawing this troublesome task that offended people, and slowly opened the envelope that resembled an imperial edict:

The Lord of the Land of Fire, heed my command! The Supreme Byakuya, decrees:

Between heaven and earth, there is a distinction between high and low, strong and weak. Now, there are ants who presumptuously attempt to defy heaven and earth and violate human ethics based on the theory of bloodline. Their evil deeds are obvious and too numerous to list, shaking the fate of the nation. Fortunately, I am full of great compassion and will point out the right path for you...

The letter, several hundred words long, roughly stated that Konoha had changed dynasties and things were different now.

You powerless ants are not worthy of sitting in this position. I'll show you the way: move half of the national treasury and the entire population of one city to Konoha Village now, or don't blame me for not warning you.

Because it was an official document, Bai Ye didn't directly curse him as a pig-headed idiot.

But the words used to describe them as ants, evil deeds, and insults were no different from directly cursing the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent, with only Kakashi holding the imperial edict and performing his monologue.

They were all wondering if they were hallucinating. The ancestral rules were immutable, yet these ninjas dared to defy their superiors? They had rebelled against the Heavenly Guard!

"That's all for the content."

After reading everything, Kakashi coughed twice, somewhat awkwardly, and said, "In short, my mission of delivering this message is complete. If our conditions are not met within three days, I won't be the one coming next time."

His name didn't answer, because he was so angry that he couldn't speak. His finger was pointing at Kakashi, trembling.

"Traitor! Traitor! Cultist! Seize this traitor at once!" a minister shouted, but Kakashi's figure vanished in a flash, leaving the hall empty.

A day later, Kakashi returned to Konoha and went to the Uchiha clan's territory to report on his mission.

Bai Ye wasn't used to kneeling, so he leaned against the wall, with Orochimaru and Sasuke sitting on either side of him.

"The mission to deliver the message is complete? What did it say?" Bai Ye asked.

"I definitely disagreed. After they tried to attack me, I left," Kakashi said.

"So, these people not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back?" Bai Ye asked.

Kakashi hesitated for a moment before saying, "...That's one way to understand it."

"Alright, let's send a Jonin over and beat them into submission."

Kakashi was taken aback: "Aren't you going to help?"

"A bunch of samurai who aren't even ninjas, what level do they have that makes me need to take action, Divine Metal."

Byakuya rolled his eyes and tossed several letters in front of Kakashi: "Only these are barely worth my time."

Kakashi stared intently at the envelopes in front of him and saw that each letter had an address listed as belonging to a ninja village from one of the other major nations.

"This is……"

"Let Konoha hand me over. Tell them my existence is seriously affecting the friendship between the villages, and to put women from all countries at ease when they go out, they must hand me over and execute me," Bai Ye simply described.

After all, the Silver Sect, as described in the Book of Prophecy, was wreaking havoc, and it wasn't just Konoha Village that was affected; other villages were also terrified at the mere mention of the White Night.

Now, Bai Ye's nickname in other villages is something like "Konoha Silver Wolf," anyway, it's become a notorious nickname.

Kakashi stared speechlessly at the envelope in front of him. These guys were a few days behind in their intelligence and didn't know about Byakuya's combat strength. They were in trouble now.

Even though they were enemies, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for his opponent, since the outcome was already predetermined.

"What should we do next? Start a war?" Kakashi asked.

"What else?" Bai Ye yawned lightly, showing no interest in this kind of bullying. "Get ready, send them a denunciation notice, gather them all together and wipe them out."

After Kakashi and Orochimaru left, Byakuya looked at Sasuke and said, "Call me when the fight starts. Take this first."

Bai Ye took out a vial of scarlet medicine from the illusory space and handed it over.

"What is this?" Sasuke Uchiha was taken aback.

"Pym Particles can enlarge your body and enhance your strength. With them, you can already deal with most enemies. But remember not to be ambushed. If you die, I won't be able to cross the world to save you in time," Bai Ye said.
