Lin Yu had no intention of carrying out a massacre in the Hidden Mist Village. After all, the Hidden Mist Village could be considered free labor for the Akatsuki. As long as no one discovered that their Fourth Mizukage was being controlled, the Hidden Mist Village would be in their service for a long time.
"This is the place."
Mikoto followed behind Lin Yu. The Mist Shinobi they encountered along the way were all confused by Mikoto's Sharingan genjutsu. After decades of "battling" with Kushina, Mikoto's Sharingan had evolved to the three-tomoe stage, and confusing a few Mist Shinobi with genjutsu was not a problem.
"Lin Yu, why are we coming to a place like this?"
Mikoto looked at the gloomy prison gate in front of her, feeling a bit lost. Wasn't she here for a scenic tour? How did she end up in the Hidden Mist Village's prison!
"I'd forgotten about that."
Bringing Mikoto and the others to the Land of Water was mainly to complete a mission. Who knew if "traveling with beauty" meant traveling with a beautiful woman or specifically traveling with Mikoto? However, the moment they stepped into the Land of Water, the mission in his mind was marked as complete.
It seemed to be an ordinary daily mission, and the system wouldn't make things too difficult for him.
"Mikoto, Kurenai, why don't I send you to Kushina's first? I have some things to do..."
"No need, Lin Yu, you go ahead and be busy. I'll take Kurenai to find a place to stay. We're staying in the Land of Water for a few days, right?"
"Yes, about... two or three days."
After confirming with Lin Yu, Mikoto calmly held Kurenai, who kept looking back, and walked towards the village. She didn't ask Lin Yu what he was going to do; she just wanted to make sure she didn't get in his way.
"Sister Mikoto, where are we going?"
"We're going to eat octopus."
"Really! That's great! Do we have the... sake from last time?"
"No!"
Lin Yu silently watched the two of them leave. He had long appreciated Mikoto's sensible and virtuous nature. As for their safety, Lin Yu wasn't worried. They both had Lin Yu's Undying Nether Flame within them, and Mikoto could contend with ordinary Jonin.
However, Lin Yu still split off a Wood Style clone to follow them.
In the dark and damp prison, many disheveled prisoners looked up at the red-haired youth who entered the cells. To their surprise, the Hidden Mist guards on both sides fell to the ground unconscious one after another.
This made some of the prisoners have wicked thoughts.
"Kid! It's you, quickly open the cell! I, this master, will ensure you a lifetime of wealth and honor! Otherwise..."
*Puchi!*
Scarlet blood splattered everywhere. Lin Yu didn't slow down, his steps treading on the hearts of these prisoners.
This red-haired guy is not to be trifled with!
However, the desire to survive ultimately outweighed their reason. A captive spoke, "Young man, I am from the Hidden Stone Village. If you let me out, the Hidden Stone Village will surely reward you."
"Me too, I'm from the Hidden Sand Village."
"I, I'm from the Leaf!"
Lin Yu's footsteps stopped, and he looked at the ninja who claimed to be from the Leaf.
Hmm... I don't recognize his face. Too lazy to save him.
Seeing Lin Yu look at him, the Leaf ninja's eyes lit up with excitement. However, when he saw Lin Yu continue to walk forward, he quickly said, "Save me! We're all Leaf ninjas! I'm from the Yamamoto clan, and Yamamoto Ichiro is my brother!"
Yamamoto Ichiro? Who is that?
Lin Yu felt a flicker of familiarity with the name, but it seemed to be a ninja who died shortly after appearing. He couldn't help but ask, "What does your brother look like?"
Yamamoto Jiro excitedly said, "Green hair, green hair!"
*Puchi!*
Lin Yu retracted his left hand that had thrown a kunai and continued forward: "Sorry, my hand slipped."
The surrounding prisoners and captives, seeing that he would even kill a ninja from his own village, no longer dared to step forward and speak, fearing that they would be the next to die. They still had "great futures" and couldn't die so ignominiously!
Deep within the prison, Ye Cang's hands and feet were bound by chains. Her originally delicate, short-cropped hair hung messily over her eyes, resembling Sadako from the movies.
Ye Cang knew that she might not return alive from this journey. No! She didn't want to return to this place!
She wanted to find an opportunity to escape, and then kill that dog, Rasa.
But... Ye Cang glanced at Obito, who was wearing a spiral mask, from the corner of her eye, hidden by her hair, and her heart trembled: With this kind of person here, how can I escape!
Just by the oppressive aura emanating from him, Ye Cang knew she was no match for this masked man and had a high probability of being instantly killed.
Alas, is there anyone in the ninja world who dares to be presumptuous in front of a masked man?
Just as Ye Cang was thinking this, a timely voice came from the corner ahead.
"You brat! Speak! Did you chop up all the good seedlings I wanted!"
Like a gust of wind, Ye Cang turned her head and saw a red-haired youth grabbing the masked man by the collar, looking like he would fight if he didn't get a clear answer.
Ye Cang's brain simply short-circuited. What was happening? Was the situation changing so quickly?
"Lin... Teacher, let go first. Let's talk properly. I haven't done anything!"
Obito had long sensed Lin Yu's presence. However, he hadn't expected Lin Yu to attack immediately. The Fourth Mizukage was one thing, but Ye Cang, a captive, was also present.
This made Obito lose face! The mysterious and powerful persona he had painstakingly built was shattered, and he couldn't confront Lin Yu. He couldn't win!
"Speak! Did you exterminate the Ghost, Kaguya, or the Yuki clan?"
"..."
Obito was speechless. Why would I exterminate their clans for no reason!
"I sent Orochimaru to..."
"What! You even sent Orochimaru to exterminate them!"
Lin Yu was shocked. No wonder Kimimaro and Suigetsu Hozuki were taken away by Orochimaru. The truth was revealed!
"To find good seedlings!"
Obito struggled and shouted. He was afraid that if he didn't clarify, Teacher Lin Yu would enforce justice on his behalf and kill him!
"So that's how it is. You should have said so earlier!" Lin Yu let go of Obito, a look of regret on his face.
Hey, hey, what's with that regretful expression? Are you really thinking of attacking me?
Obito silently retreated seven steps away from Lin Yu, ready to phase out at any moment.
Ye Cang widened her eyes, watching their strange conversation. Aren't these two fools?
The previous sense of oppression and fear had long since vanished. If it weren't for the handcuffs on her wrists, Ye Cang would have really wanted to say, "Please continue your performance!"
"Who is she?"
"Sand ninja, Ye Cang."
"Ye Cang? Isn't she dead?"
Ye Cang's eyes twitched, and anger surged within her. What do you mean, I'm already dead?!
"She heard everything. What should we do?"
"Should we kill her?"
Lin Yu blurted out, "And then have a go while she's still warm?"
Obito: "..."
Ye Cang: ??? What do you mean?
