the other side.

The three dark-skinned "Iwa ninja" who had finally managed to infiltrate the palace used their skin color to their advantage and hid in the shadows. Looking at the dense patrol team not far away, they were already feeling a bit numb.

Of the eight people in the group, only three of them managed to sneak in; the others were responsible for providing backup outside.

After entering, they searched for Kazahana Koyuki according to the information given by the grass ninja. The route, which should have been unobstructed according to the information, was instead guarded by a large number of patrolling guards.

This is the third group they have encountered.

Even a fool would know that most of the information that the grass ninja gave them was false.

The dark-skinned, burly man at the head couldn't help but glance at the ninja who had just said that the grass ninja hadn't lied.

However, the man couldn't help but sigh, and then two rows of white teeth appeared in the darkness.

"Captain, when that grass ninja was giving out information, neither his emotions nor his chakra showed any abnormal fluctuations..."

Perhaps... perhaps the people of Kusagakure have become completely indifferent to spreading false information.

"..."

The dark-skinned, burly men at the head of the group were speechless for a moment. They hadn't had much contact with the Grass Ninja Village, but they had heard of its reputation to some extent.

But no one expected that they could spout false information so easily without batting an eye.

The current situation makes infiltration impossible. After a moment of silence, the dark-skinned, burly man could only helplessly say, "Since the route is unreliable, let's just grab someone, interrogate them, and then forcibly take them away."

"Remember, you are not allowed to use Lightning Release ninjutsu!"

Chapter 638 Showing Compassion to Subordinates

"Understood, Captain!"

The three reached a consensus, reached into their ninja tool pouches with their right hands, and planned to take care of the guards not far away as quickly as possible.

But then a sudden sound of footsteps came from behind, along with a surprised and teasing voice.

"Huh? So there are Black people in Iwagakure too?"

As soon as the voice rang out, the three people who were about to force their way into the palace and kidnap Feng Hua Xiaoxue suddenly felt their hair stand on end and their bodies tense up. A chilling feeling simultaneously gripped their hearts.

"Who is it?!"

The three of them turned around almost simultaneously, and without hesitation, they pulled out kunai and shuriken, throwing them toward the location where the sound had just come from.

when!when!when!

However, all their kunai and shuriken fell into empty air.

There was no one there.

"what happened?"

The three of them froze, their expressions tense.

call--

At that moment, the dark-skinned squad leader sensed a subtle fluctuation in the airflow around him.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced behind me and sure enough, there was a figure standing there.

The next moment, the violent lightning chakra, like a snake, swam around him, and he turned around at an extremely terrifying speed to throw a punch at his opponent.

This is a secret technique of Kumogakure: Lightning Chakra Mode.

Although he just said that lightning ninjutsu was not allowed, now is not the time to worry about that.

However, he only grasped a tiny fraction of the skill.

While it's difficult to achieve the speed of the Third or Fourth Raikage, it's still faster than that of an average Jonin.

That's why they can react first in the blink of an eye.

However, it was still too slow in front of the person behind him.

Before his fist could land, the other person had already reached out and grabbed his head.

"Interesting. Wearing a headband from Iwagakure but using ninjutsu from Kumogakure?"

Sealing patterns spread from the center of his palm, and the lightning chakra that had been flowing around the ANBU squad leader vanished instantly.

Before the fist even landed, his entire body was frozen in place.

"team leader!"

The other two reacted as slowly as their captain, but only half a beat slower.

Upon seeing their captain inexplicably controlled, they simultaneously gripped kunai and thrust them at Baiyun Qingye from different directions.

They wanted to save their captain.

In close combat, there is usually very little time to use ninjutsu.

Moreover, in their view, Bai Yun Qingye only had two hands, one of which was holding their captain, so it was impossible for him to block both of their attacks at the same time.

Unless they release the person.

However, the result was disappointing for them.

Because it was a hasty encounter, they didn't know who their opponent was.

The clanging of chains filled their ears as two chains, while knocking the kunai from their hands, quickly bound the two men together.

This suffocating feeling is like being coiled up by a python...

"Diamond Lockdown! You're Shirayuki Aoba?!"

Feeling his chakra being sealed, the ninja who had been interrogating him earlier finally saw Shirokumo Aoba's face clearly and recognized his opponent.

"Shouldn't you be in Konoha right now, performing the Hokage succession ceremony?!"

Upon recognizing Baiyun Qingye's identity, the three of them wore expressions of disbelief, as this was information given to them by the Raikage.

Could this intelligence also be false?

"I'm more surprised that you're here."

Baiyun Qingye did not answer, but his eyes shone with light, and a layer of light blue chakra suddenly covered the hand that was originally holding the head of the Kumogakure ANBU squad leader.

The captain of the Hidden Cloud Village's ANBU squad was now completely stunned, his eyes rolling upwards.

"You bastard, what do you think you're going to do to the captain?!"

The other two members of the Cloud Hidden Anbu also showed fear upon seeing their captain in this state.

"!"

After Baiyun Qingye fully acquired all of the dark squad leader's memories, his expression turned completely cold.

"You hired the Grass Village to steal power from the Land of Snow by impersonating the Grass Village, but in reality you had the Anbu impersonate Iwagakure ninjas to kidnap Yuki, and at the same time framed both villages. You Cloud Village are quite the schemer."

"What... what kind of technique is this?"

The Cloud Village ninja who had been in charge of interrogating them was now completely dumbfounded, as they had suddenly come to understand their plan so thoroughly.

"Ah!"

Seeing the terrified expressions on their faces, Bai Yun Qingye had no intention of explaining and slightly increased the pressure in her hand.

boom!

The next moment, the head in his hand exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere, but not a single drop landed on Bai Yunqingye; it was all repelled by an invisible repulsive force.

It splattered onto the faces of the remaining two men, and the headless corpse, gushing blood, stood right in front of them.

The horrifying scene sent a chill down their spines, and their previously fearful eyes instantly turned into uncontrollable rage.

"team leader!"

The Hidden Cloud Village has always valued its comrades and despised traitors. Now, witnessing their captain, who had once favored them greatly, die before their eyes, they have completely forgotten their fear.

"You bastard... uh!"

However, before the two could utter their angry curses, the chains that had been binding them pierced their hearts.

At the same time, Bai Yunqingye's disdainful voice also reached their ears.

"Those guys outside will be here to keep you company soon!"

Their vision began to blur, but the words they heard made their bodies tremble violently once again.

"Ugh... you bastard... hehehe!"

He clearly wanted to say something harsh or a curse, but the blood that welled up in his throat stopped him.

His body trembled even more violently.

Although they knew that their fate would be certain death after being caught, they were even more frustrated that they didn't even have a chance to vent their anger one last time.

It's like the feeling of helplessness you experience in a 5v5 game when you're not only skilled but also get spawn-camped by a cheater who keeps saying things like "I'm taking on apprentices," while you're stuck because your input method is stuck and you can't even greet the cheater's family tree.

Filled with immense resentment, the two of them ultimately swallowed their anger with their eyes wide open.

"Lord Aoba... what has happened? Is there anything we can do to help?"

After Shirokumo Aoba easily dealt with three Cloud Village ninjas, a guard from the Land of Snow approached nervously and spoke hesitantly.

He had no choice but to hesitate; the headless corpse was still standing there, gushing blood.

Moreover, they had absolutely no idea what had happened.

Could it be because he's too dark-skinned?

They're absolutely ruthless killers.

Because almost everyone present knew Shirokumo Aoba, there was no chaos yet.

"These people have secretly infiltrated the Snow Country, intending to kidnap Yuki..."

"what?!"

Bai Yunqingye wanted to speak up and give a brief explanation, but before he could finish, the guard standing next to him, who had been meek and obedient, suddenly changed his expression.

"Is the daimyo in danger now? We must protect him immediately!"
