Chapter 117: Tsundere?
After the man wearing a monkey - face mask subconsciously replied a sentence, he then realized that this voice didn't belong to anyone present.
Looking up in the direction where the voice came from, he found two figures with chakra attached to the soles of their feet, sticking to the wall.
Yue Yan glanced at the man in the monkey - face mask who had just spoken, and a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Now that I'm here, what can you do to deal with me?"
As he spoke, Yue Yan dispelled the chakra on the soles of his feet and kicked the man in the monkey - face mask flying. The man was embedded in the thick stone wall so tightly that he couldn't even be pried out.
After doing all this, Yue Yan scanned the others.
"Tell me, where is Wuwei?"
"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison..."
Before the man in the horse - face mask could unleash the ninjutsu, he was sent flying by the golden tail made of Lightning Bolt that extended from behind Yue Yan. The man was embedded next to the man in the monkey - face mask. Judging from the dent in his chest, he was obviously dead.
After the tail whipped with a crackling sound of thunder, Yue Yan looked at the man wearing a Gataro mask, who seemed to be the leader here.
"I'm a lazy person and don't want to repeat myself. Tell me, or... die."
An endless and terrifying killing intent enveloped everyone present. Except for the two people in the wall who were on the verge of death, the remaining three were all suppressed by the killing intent emitted by Yue Yan and couldn't help but tremble all over.
Before the man in the Gataro mask could speak, the other two couldn't bear the pressure and turned towards the door, seemingly going for help.
However, without Yue Yan having to act, Yagura on the side stepped in for him.
"Blaze Release: Superheated Steam Execution!"
The orange fireball, which combined the chakra attributes of wind and fire, was even faster than before with the blessing of [The Claw of the Flame Emperor].
The two who turned and ran hadn't even approached the door when the Superheated Steam Execution evaporated all the moisture in their bodies, turning them into mummies drier than the salted fish Yue Yan had seen before.
"Gulp..."
Seeing two more comrades die miserably in front of him, the man in the Gataro mask subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Previously, he thought that for the revival of the Grass ninja village and to fulfill the dream of trampling the Five Great Nations underfoot, he could give up his life.
But now, he felt that he wasn't as determined as he thought. When facing death, he very 'from the heart' (cowardly in a colloquial sense) chose to tell Yue Yan everything he knew.
After learning about Wuwei's current location, Yue Yan and Yagura left.
"Aren't you going to kill him?"
Hearing Yagura's question, Yue Yan shook his head.
"If I kill him, the criminals bound by Fire Release: Heavenly Prison will escape."
After hearing this, Yagura's expression became a bit strange.
Noticing her expression, Yue Yan was also quite puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
"
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to worry about such things."
"What kind of image do I have in your eyes? A killing machine who kills at the slightest provocation?" Yue Yan complained and rolled his eyes at Yagura.
Yagura didn't care about Yue Yan's eye - rolling at all. Looking at his profile, she couldn't help but tease him.
"Your face and what you just said always give me that feeling. What's it called? Oh right, tsundere."
"Isn't the word 'tsundere' usually used to describe girls?"
"If you don't look closely, there's really no difference between you and a girl."
"Stop. We're almost there. Can we stop talking about this topic?"
Hearing this, Yagura shrugged with a smile and didn't continue to tease Yue Yan.
After arriving at the place the Bull - Masked Man (Gataro) mentioned, Yue Yan activated his perception and found Wuwei. There were also a young boy and a young girl beside him. The boy should be Wuwei's son, Mugino, and the girl should be Mugino's childhood sweetheart, Ryūzetsu. He just didn't know if she had mastered the Dragon Life Reincarnation ninjutsu by now.
"Who!?"
Yue Yan and Yagura didn't hide themselves. After getting closer, they were discovered by Wuwei.
Seeing the approaching figures, one big and one small, Wuwei instinctively shielded Mugino and Ryūzetsu behind him.
"Are you... the one with the Blaze Release, Yagura?"
As an elite Jonin of the Grass ninja village, Wuwei was quite knowledgeable and naturally recognized Yagura. But he didn't know Yue Yan beside Yagura. After all, Yue Yan had only become famous recently, and his well - known form was the big cat - like Thunder Beast. Not many people outside the high - ups of the Five Great Nations knew what Yue Yan really looked like.
Even if Yue Yan stood in front of ordinary ninjas and directly claimed to be the Thunder Beast, not many people would probably believe him, because Yue Yan's appearance was quite deceptive.
Getting back to the point, after recognizing Yagura, Wuwei couldn't help but frown. Although he was confident in his own strength, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when facing the long - famous Yagura.
"My lord Yagura, may I ask what business you have with me? I presume the Sand Ninja Village doesn't know that their hero is here, right?"
Wuwei's words were a way for him to leave himself an escape route. If he couldn't defeat them, he was sure he could run away. But then he would definitely inform the Sand Ninjas' Anbu of Yagura's whereabouts. And Yagura, who was now no different from a missing - nin, probably wouldn't want to be found by the Sand Ninjas.
Yagura rolled her eyes, understanding the meaning behind Wuwei's words. She didn't say a word and silently took a step back, giving the main position to Yue Yan beside her.
"You're Wuwei, right? Tell me, where is the Box of Ultimate Bliss? Otherwise, I don't mind killing you and searching your memories through your heads."
"You're from Konoha. I don't know what the Box of Ultimate Bliss is. But if you attack me rashly, the Grass ninja village will definitely come after Konoha to seek revenge."
Seeing the Forehead Protector tied to Yue Yan's left arm, Wuwei tried to fob Yue Yan off using the old method for dealing with Konoha Ninjas.
"I don't have time for your blabber."
As soon as the words fell, Yue Yan rushed towards Wuwei.
How fast!
The moment this thought flashed through Wuwei's mind, he only had time to raise his arm to block, and was then punched flying by Yue Yan.
After continuously spinning in mid - air to dissipate the force, Wuwei barely landed steadily. Feeling the cracks on his arm, his heart skipped a beat.
"Dude, are you really gonna push this to the limit?"
Wuwei still wanted to struggle, but Yue Yan didn't give him a chance at all. He stepped forward again and threw out a series of dense punches that left shadowy after - images.
Yue Yan's punches were so fast and powerful that even for simple defense, Wuwei had to use all his strength and had no time to form seals for ninjutsu.
Seeing his Father being overpowered, Mugino, still just a child, roared and rushed over.
"Fire Release: Demon Lantern!"
Several fireballs materialized out of thin air and then transformed into ferocious ghost faces, opening their big fangs made of flames and biting towards Yue Yan.
Yue Yan didn't even glance at them. After kicking Wuwei flying with one foot, the tail composed of golden Lightning Bolts behind him swept across and extinguished all the Fire Release: Demon Lanterns.
"Heh, kid, you've got some nerve!"
As soon as the words fell, Yue Yan appeared in front of Mugino. With the claws of his Thunder Beast transformation, he grabbed Mugino by the neck and lifted him into the air.
