Three days later, unlike the large entourage formed by Yunyin for the mission to Konoha, Konoha only dispatched Lin Yu alone. Although Minato Namikaze repeatedly recommended taking Shikaku Nara along, Lin Yu ultimately declined.
What a joke, bringing an old man along, what did that mean! It would also hinder his plans to visit Yunyin's secret vault.
Tsuchikage Village, Kirigakure Village, and now Yunyin Village, Lin Yu had already visited half of the Five Great Ninja Villages, only Sand Village remained. He hoped that Rasa would welcome his arrival then!
Lin Yu did not bring anyone with him this time, so he did not linger. Three days later, he had already entered the territory of the Land of Lightning, only tens of kilometers away from Yunyin Village.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures landed in front of Lin Yu. One was Kisame Hoshigaki, with a shark-like face and Samehada on his back, and the other was a boy wearing a cat-faced mask. Both were adorned in red clouds and black robes.
The visitors were Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha. They had arrived earlier than Lin Yu and were scheduled to rendezvous here.
"Long time no see, Kisame. Itachi, why are you wearing a cat mask?" Lin Yu greeted them.
"Hmph!"
Kisame Hoshigaki's shark-like face turned ashen. The person he least wanted to see right now was Lin Yu. That punch from before had almost turned him into dried shark meat. Even now, Kisame felt a sense of fear whenever he faced Lin Yu, dreading that the other party might throw another punch.
Itachi glanced at the outline of Yunyin Village in the distance and said, "To avoid causing trouble for the village."
Lin Yu patted his head and said, "I forgot about that. How about I talk to Minato and get you declared a rogue ninja!"
"..."
Did being a rogue ninja just happen by saying it?!
Itachi had countless words he wanted to vent to Shisui, but in the end, he suppressed them all.
Ignoring Lin Yu, his teacher, Itachi sat on a nearby rock with a cold expression, adopting a 'do as you please' attitude.
Kisame, on the other hand, shrank his head. He seemed to have overheard a great secret!
Minato? Was it Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha?
Was the Hokage also involved with their organization? And becoming a rogue ninja was as simple as saying it?
This was too absurd!
Kisame felt that he was increasingly unable to understand the current ninja world. However, compared to this, he was more worried that Lin Yu and Itachi would silence him.
After all, he couldn't defeat either of them. Thinking this, Kisame suddenly remembered Kakuzu.
Kakuzu was better, at least there was a chance of a fifty-fifty fight.
Lin Yu glanced at the sky. It was already approaching evening. He turned to Itachi and asked, "Do you two have any plans?"
"What plans? We'll just charge in!" Kisame just wanted to finish this mission quickly, as facing Lin Yu and Itachi alone made him a little scared.
Itachi said concisely, "However much the village lost, we will repay it tenfold."
"The village didn't seem to suffer any losses. In fact, they annihilated the enemy."
Itachi: "..."
"Then, let's avenge Sasuke."
If his brother was bullied, as an older brother, he couldn't just stand by and watch. He had to step forward and deliver the finishing blow!
"When do we start?"
"Tonight, let's make it quick!"
Lin Yu stroked his chin and fell into thought. He had wanted to spend a few more days exploring Yunyin Village, but he hadn't expected Itachi to be so impatient. Could he be worried that he would actually become a rogue ninja?
After agreeing on a time with Itachi, Lin Yu quickly headed towards Yunyin Village, not wanting to be forced to sleep on the streets.
After Lin Yu left, Itachi and Kisame fell silent, each sitting on a rock, meditating with their eyes closed.
After a long while, another figure in a black robe descended. Itachi opened his Sharingan and, after recognizing the identity of the newcomer, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Shisui-bro!
...
After the guards' thorough inspection, they confirmed Lin Yu as the envoy sent by Konoha to Yunyin before opening the iron gate.
Unlike the grand welcome ceremony in Konoha, Yunyin showed no intention of welcoming Lin Yu. They only sent two genin to escort Lin Yu to the inn.
The room assigned to him was also a lower-class one. Before leaving, the genin glared at Lin Yu unkindly, as if to say: You, kid, behave yourself!
Lin Yu maintained a smile, but numbers kept accumulating in his mind.
Rude attitude + 100 million Ryo!
Aggressive tone + 200 million Ryo!
Shabby room + 300 million Ryo!
Ugly appearance + 1 billion Ryo!
...
Very good!
Lin Yu estimated the mental damages Yunyin would have to pay him. It probably wouldn't be enough to empty the Fourth Raikage's pockets, and he would even leave him with a pair of underpants!
One must learn from Lin Yu. Although Yunyin treated him poorly, he still greeted them with a smile!
One should learn from Lin Yu, only leaving them with their underpants, not completely severing ties, leaving room for reconciliation!
In the Raikage's building, Ay, the Fourth Raikage, felt drowsy listening to his subordinates' reports. He really wanted to finish work early and have a bare-chested fight with his foster brother, Bee!
"Report! The envoy from Konoha has arrived!"
"Who has come?"
Ay propped his chin, marveling at the Konoha ninja who dared to come to their Yunyin Village. Was this Minato sending someone to their death?
Or did they truly have the confidence to demand an explanation from Yunyin?
"Reporting to the Raikage-sama, only a red-haired youth has arrived. His name seems to be, Uzumaki Lin Yu!"
The reporting ninja seemed young and didn't have a deep impression of Lin Yu's name. However, the older generation of Yunin ninjas present and Ay were greatly shocked. Subsequently, Ay's face was filled with rage.
He would never forget his embarrassing escape from that battle. It was the first time he had failed to protect his foster brother, Killer Bee. This was an absolute disgrace to him.
"Bring him to me immediately!"
Ay's eyes lit up with excitement. He was no longer the same person as before. With his current strength, even if he couldn't win with certainty, a fifty-fifty match should be manageable!
And this was Yunyin Village, his home turf! This time, he would definitely give Uzumaki Lin Yu a grand gift!
If he doesn't accept the gift, he won't be allowed to leave!
Ay lowered his voice and said, "Notify all departments to be on high alert. Send someone to inform Hachibi and Bee, the show is about to begin!"
Although he was in Yunyin Village, Ay would not underestimate his opponent, as he recognized Lin Yu's strength, especially his Wood Style, which could single-handedly defend against a Tailed Beast Ball.
Ay couldn't help but think about how, after capturing Lin Yu, they could uncover the secrets of his Wood Style. Yunyin Village's overall strength would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.
That's right! And the Sharingan!
Ay's eyes became even more excited, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
Uzumaki Lin Yu, Uzumaki Lin Yu, you are truly a treasure!
Minato Namikaze dared to send you here. I must accept this great gift!
...
Meanwhile, Lin Yu walked out of the Yunyin inn, pointing at the surrounding buildings.
"This bathhouse looks good. Should I tell Obito to take the rooms as well..."
"Whoa! There's even a red-light district... It's a shame Jiraiya isn't here!"
However, looking at the dark-skinned, rugged "ladies," Lin Yu felt it was necessary to recommend them to Jiraiya. Perhaps his inspiration for writing novels would skyrocket!
"Sigh, Yunyin Village is so poor!"
Lin Yu wandered around, but found nothing of value. The most abundant thing was the floating mist in the air.
No wonder the Yunin ninjas have such dark skin. You're all floating up in the sky, don't you get burned by the sun!
Suddenly, Lin Yu's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of pure white. Not everyone in Yunyin Village was dark!
