"Wait." Just then, Bai suddenly stepped forward, blocking Wuyue and the others. "My lord, please... please let them go. I'll do anything you want!"

"What a lovely young lady." Seeing this, Ye Cang couldn't help but sigh. "She only received such a small favor, and she repays it in this way."

"Well, that's why I agreed to take her in." Wuyue shrugged and said, "Just like her name, this child is as pure as snow."

"You seem to know her very well?" Yekura keenly sensed something.

"Uh, this..." Just as Mugetsu was about to offer a vague answer, Zabuza suddenly spoke up. "Get out of my way! This is none of your business. Let me deal with them first, then we can talk about our business."

"Wow, that's quite a powerful statement," Wuyue exclaimed, gently pushing Bai behind her. "Well, in this situation, let's listen to this guy first. It wouldn't be good if there were any accidental injuries."

“But…” Bai paused, a look of hesitation on his face.

"Don't worry. Even if this guy is wielding a blade almost as tall as me, he shouldn't be able to do anything to me." Wuyue smiled and said, "Also, friend, don't get so angry every day, it'll make you age faster. Even though you already look very old."

This guy actually dares to make fun of me?

Zabuza was completely stunned. Was he courting death?

"Outrageous!" Zabuza roared, and without any further hesitation, he swung his long sword down.

Bang.

A tremendous sound of air being torn apart rang out.

As if he could already foresee the boy being cut in two, Zabuza revealed a cruel smile.

But the smile suddenly froze in the next second.

In his vision, his blade was firmly held between two fingers. He tried to pull the sword out, but the blade wouldn't budge, even when Zabuza used all his strength.

"What happened? Why is this happening?"

Stunned and stunned, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Zabuza's forehead.

……

"Hmm, you look like you're struggling." Wuyue chuckled and released her grip. "Then, here you go."

Bang bang bang.

The immense inertia sent Zabuza sprawling backward, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop. "Who...who are you?"

Under such circumstances, even the most foolish person would know that this guy in front of him was definitely extraordinary. He was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

"You don't need to know who I am." With a smile, Wuyue slowly said, "Now, run. Run as far as you can. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, Ye Cang beside him suddenly formed a series of hand seals, and then a fireball condensed in his palm.

This, this is it!

The moment Zabuza saw the fireball, an ominous premonition rose within him. The scorching heat emanating from the fireball made him feel as if he were being roasted under the blazing sun.

Damn!

Without any hesitation, he turned and ran without saying a word. He disappeared into the distance as quickly as a streak of light.

At that moment, Yecang also gently threw out the fireball in the direction he fled.

Boom!

A deafening explosion.

The moment the fireball touched the ground, it was as if a million bombs exploded simultaneously. A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.

A moment later.

Zabuza, who had been lying prone on the ground, slowly stood up. Before him was a huge crater nearly ten meters in diameter. Wisps of white steam drifted out of the crater, and the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees had all been reduced to charcoal.

"Are you kidding me?" Zabuza swallowed hard, a sense of relief washing over him. "This... is this really something a ninja can do?"

385 Five Dynasties Mizukage

As the sun gradually sets, its afterglow spills across the earth.

"Master, why did you let that rude fellow go?" Ye Cang asked in confusion beside the narrow path. "If it weren't for your hint, that attack just now would have definitely reduced him to ashes."

"Well, it doesn't matter whether that small fry lives or dies." Shaking her head, Wuyue smiled and said, "His existence doesn't affect anyone. Besides, I don't want you to kill anyone in the future."

This last sentence should be the key point.

Ye Cang pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand."

"Well, well, don't make it so serious." Wuyue glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't forget, we're here to have fun. Ah, look... that place with buildings up ahead, that's Kirigakure."

"Hmm? There seems to be a sound up ahead?" Yekura, who was about to answer, suddenly paused and looked to her right. "Is a festival being held?"

“No, it’s clearly a battle.” Wuyue shook his head; he could already faintly hear screams. “It must be internal strife? Let’s go take a look.” With that, he took the lead and walked towards the source of the sound.

"Hahaha, hahaha... That's exhilarating! As ninjas, we should be born to fight!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Ignore the small fry, take out the leader!"

The two sides in the battle were dressed in Kirigakure ninja uniforms on one side, and in coarse linen clothes on the other, with peculiar appearances. They were described as peculiar because they all had silver hair and distinctive oval eyebrows. Some even appeared to have skeletal deformities.

"The Kaguya clan?" Wuyue narrowed her eyes, making her own judgment. "I see. So the Kaguya rebellion described in the original work took place around this time?"

"The Kaguya clan?" Ye Cang was slightly taken aback and said, "It is said that all of them are as warlike as madmen, and they will enter a kind of berserk state when fighting?"

"Yes, that's them." Wuyue nodded and said, "The strongest bloodline of this clan is the Corpse Bone Pulse. However, no one has awakened it yet."

"Hmm? That child..." As he spoke, he suddenly noticed a short, bewildered boy in the crowd, and his eyes widened in surprise. "Kimimaro?" Just as he was about to step forward to confirm, another thin man suddenly walked towards the boy and picked him up.

What the hell? Kidnapping someone?

Wu Yue's figure flickered, and she followed directly after him.

"Who goes there? Stop right there!"

"You bastard, put that child down!"

After running forward for a short while, the mysterious guy was stopped by several Hidden Mist Ninja.

"Oh? You want to stop me?" The mysterious man said calmly and coldly, "Can you really do it?" With a wave of his right hand, several objects that looked like chains and vines shot out.

"what is this?"

"Yes, it's a snake!"

"hateful!"

Bound by these venomous snakes that resemble vines, the Hidden Mist ninja was completely unable to move, and his knees were on the ground.

"Oh? So it really is Orochimaru?" Mugetsu narrowed his eyes, staring at the mysterious figure's retreating figure. "Having failed to find a suitable vessel for reincarnation in the Land of Earth, he's set his sights on Kirigakure?"

"Hey, you over there hiding your head and tail. Your moves look familiar." Just then, another familiar voice rang out.

She really came? My little slave girl...

Mugetsu thought to herself, glancing at the newcomer. Indeed, it was Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage who had taken office a year prior.

She had naturally curly, dark brown hair, turquoise eyes, and a pretty face. Her blue training uniform, resembling a cheongsam, perfectly accentuated her figure. Although only in her early twenties, she already exuded the aura of a mature, sophisticated woman.

Of course, only Wuyue knows what kind of masochistic heart lies hidden beneath her mature and sophisticated exterior...

"The Fifth Mizukage?" As Mei Terumi slowly approached, the mysterious man finally wore a serious expression. "This is getting a bit troublesome."

"Since you find it troublesome, then put down the child you're holding." Mei Terumi said calmly, "I believe that if you really want to leave, no one here can stop you, Orochimaru."

"Have I been exposed?" Having been recognized, Orochimaru no longer bothered to hide his identity and simply tore off his disguise. "However, I'm truly sorry. I've been watching this for a long time. A rare find, perhaps only once every few decades."

"You can leave," Mei Terumi waved her hand and said, "but I guarantee you can't take him with you."

"Is that so?" Orochimaru sneered, "How would you know if you haven't tried?"

"Hmph." Mei Terumi snorted lightly, refusing to say anything more, and directly formed a series of complex hand seals with her hands. Then, she opened her mouth.

Boil Release: Skillful Mist Technique!

A stream of bluish-green acidic mist surged from her mouth, rushing towards Orochimaru's location like a tidal wave.

The instant she activated her ninjutsu, Orochimaru had already placed the child in 4.9's arms on the ground and simultaneously formed hand seals. Facing an opponent of Mei's caliber, even he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

With a deafening roar, a massive stone wall rose from the ground, blocking the encroaching mist. However, the powerful corrosiveness of the acid mist quickly melted the stone wall away. Simultaneously, in the next instant, a crimson arm, entirely composed of magma, reached straight for Orochimaru.

This, this technique...

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted. The scene before him reminded him of someone, someone he dared not provoke.

386 Long time no see

Damn it! Why does this woman know his techniques?

Orochimaru was filled with intense doubt. But in this situation, he couldn't let his thoughts linger for too long. So, he quickly realized what was happening. He bit his finger, drew blood, and slammed it onto the ground.

Spiritual Communication Technique: Triple Rashomon!

Ring ring ring.

The wind chimes tinkled, and a series of doors and walls engraved with demon faces rose from the ground, standing in front of Orochimaru.

Rumble.

The next moment, the enormous lava arm collided with Rashomon, producing a deafening roar.

Sandstorm!

Flowers, trees, rocks, and clods of earth rose from the ground, and terrifying shockwaves rolled and surged in all directions. In the dim sky, dark red lava scattered and flew everywhere.

When everything settled down, only a broken section of Rashomon remained standing in front of Orochimaru.

"This ninjutsu is called Hell's Hand, right? 07." Orochimaru frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "One of the signature ninjutsu used by Yuhi Mugetsu. Why do you know this?"

"Ah, why?" Mei Terumi tilted her head and smiled, "You can guess."

"I see. You two knew each other a long time ago?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "No wonder the peace treaty between Konoha and Kirigakure went so smoothly back then. You two had it all planned out from the beginning."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Mei Terumi neither denied nor admitted it. "You'll have to check for yourself. But before that..." She formed hand seals again and slammed them onto the ground.

Lava Release: Heavenly Fire Purgatory!

Click, click.

Dark red cracks appeared on the ground, and countless flames and magma erupted from the cracks, spreading throughout the entire area.
