"Cough, cough! Are you Ye Cang, the one with the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai?"
Ye Cang snorted and ignored Lin Yu, walking forward on her own. The sound of chains dragging on the ground echoed in the dark corridor.
"What, don't you want revenge? Don't you want to kill Rasa?"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. This woman's strength should be decent enough for an outer member.
Most importantly, she had been betrayed by her village and had nowhere else to go. Her heart was blinded by hatred, and such people were the easiest to manipulate.
Ye Cang's footsteps stopped. There was a trace of blood on her pale lips, and she said with hatred, "I will kill Rasa!"
"How will you kill him? Don't forget you are currently a prisoner, and Rasa is the Kazekage of the Land of Wind."
"The status difference between you two is worlds apart. Forget killing Rasa, you can't even control your own life right now."
Ye Cang's mud-covered fingers dug into her palms. Lin Yu was right; she was just a prisoner, not even sure if she would live to see tomorrow.
How could she possibly kill the Kazekage in Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, so far away? Reality was truly ironic!
"What do you need me to do?"
After a long while, Ye Cang turned to look at Lin Yu. He wouldn't have asked her this if he didn't want something. Although her own value was not equivalent to Rasa's life, Ye Cang still wanted to try. This was her last chance!
"It's simple, just listen to me."
Ye Cang's strength was at best an elite Jonin, which didn't impress Lin Yu. However, the Eternal Organization was desperately short of people, and it would take decades for the younger generation to mature. Lin Yu couldn't find anyone better right now, so he'd have to make do.
"Listen to you?"
Ye Cang looked at Lin Yu suspiciously, then glanced at the silent masked figure beside him, scoffing inwardly. So, he was just a rich second-generation!
No wonder he was so foolish. It seemed the masked man was his subordinate, which explained their master-servant relationship.
A scheming frog always patting your belly—Lin Yu was a playboy!
Ye Cang felt she had uncovered the truth. The other party was only interested in her beauty and body, offering her the chance to kill the Fourth Kazekage just by listening to him. Wasn't this a fantasy?
Ye Cang sneered inwardly. She had plenty of ways to deal with such a playboy. She would just string him along for now, and when his "bodyguard" left, she would "chop" him!
To ensure he could never harm other women again!
However, the other party's influence seemed considerable. Ye Cang frowned and glanced at the Fourth Mizukage standing silently in the distance, feigning ignorance. Was he a relative of the Fourth Mizukage?
This would explain why he could move freely in and out of the Mist Village's prison. So, he was just a well-connected individual!
Lin Yu had no idea that Ye Cang had fabricated the entire scenario based on his simple statement of "listen to me."
Seeing her disheveled and pathetic state, betrayed by her own village, Lin Yu said kindly, "Don't rush. I can arrange for you to wash up first, clean yourself up, and then we can sit down and talk."
Don't rush? I think you're the one in a hurry! Making me clean up so quickly, are you planning to make a move?
Sit down and talk? Perhaps sit on the bed and talk slowly!
Ye Cang's mind conjured up deeper meanings behind Lin Yu's words, further confirming her initial conclusion. This guy was a foolish playboy, and a pervert at that!
"Hmph! Aren't you going to lead the way?"
When dealing with people like this, one must never be servile. One must put on an air of arrogance. As the saying goes, the harder something is to obtain, the more desirable it becomes!
Lin Yu stared at Ye Cang, who had suddenly changed her demeanor, and was taken aback. Were women this fickle?
To Lin Yu's eyes, this reaction was caused by her charm!
See! He's hooked!
...
In the Mizukage's office, Lin Yu sat in a chair and glanced at Ye Cang, who had a bump on her head, and said irritably, "Do you still want to chop me?"
"No."
Ye Cang shook her head, tears in the corners of her eyes. She had already changed into clean clothes, and her short, orange-yellow hair dangled as she looked somewhat wronged.
When she was taking a bath, she had taken the opportunity to lure Lin Yu in, intending to "chop" him!
However, she failed to succeed and was even seen naked. She also took two punches from Lin Yu, which made Ye Cang feel indignant.
You're so strong, why are you pretending to be a playboy!
Just as Lin Yu was about to scold her further, there was a knock on the office door.
Orochimaru pushed the door open and looked at Lin Yu, who was sitting in the Mizukage's seat, with some surprise. "Lin Yu-kun? What are you doing here?"
Lin Yu's eyes reflected the figure behind Orochimaru, and he quickly changed his tone, "Because of you, my dear teacher Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru, you've done well. I'll have Nagato give you a raise another day!
...
Orochimaru paused for a moment, then turned to Obito, who was sitting beside him, and said, "These are the promising talents I want to bring with me."
Obito glanced casually. Three white-haired individuals. This was somewhat like Kakashi. Orochimaru had good taste!
"As you wish."
As for how Orochimaru managed to bring these geniuses out of the two great clans, Obito was not surprised at all. With the Fourth Mizukage's warrant, those great clans wouldn't dare to refuse.
"Let me take a look!"
Lin Yu walked up to the three white-haired individuals with a serious expression. Besides Hozuki Mangetsu, the other two were child-like, but Lin Yu could recognize them by their facial features.
"Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, and the Hozuki brothers Mangetsu and Suigetsu. Excellent, excellent!"
Lin Yu patted Orochimaru's shoulder and smiled, "Well done. The organization will acknowledge your contributions. I'll take these three!"
...
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Lin Yu had pulled Kimimaro and the other two behind him that he spoke, "No, these three are all mine..."
"What's mine is mine!"
Lin Yu smiled, "Aren't these talents you found for the organization? Or do you, Orochimaru, want to hoard them privately?"
Obito's eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze making Orochimaru tremble.
He had suffered greatly at the hands of Nagato and Obito these past few days. If he hadn't had strong survival abilities, he might never have seen Jiraiya again!
He was still in pain all over.
Orochimaru looked at Lin Yu deeply and chuckled, "That's right. These three are talents I found for the organization, and they rightfully belong to the organization."
"By the way, have you been to the Yuki clan?"
"Yes, but I didn't find any useful talents, and there weren't many people. They are already on the verge of extinction."
"Did you not find a little boy who looks very much like a little girl?"
Orochimaru's perception of Lin Yu's values increased by another level. In such a short time, his student, Uzumaki Lin Yu, seemed to have become even more abnormal.
He used to be indiscriminate, but now he wouldn't even let go of those who "look like girls"!
This was truly more disgusting than he, Orochimaru, was!
