Taking advantage of the situation to win over Yagura was just an idea that Yue Yan came up with upon seeing this scene. As for what to specifically ask her to do after winning her over, Yue Yan hadn't figured it out yet.
After all, Yue Yan didn't need followers. If he saved Yagura, it might bring trouble to himself. Instead, he might as well take advantage of the fact that Yagura was seriously injured by the sneak attack and exchange her head for a golden treasure chest.
While Yue Yan was pondering, the Sand Ninjas and the Mist Ninjas had already met.
Yagura put one hand on her hip. Out of a ninja's professional instinct, she warily scanned the Mist Ninjas across from her.
After a while, seeing that the other side remained silent, Yagura frowned.
"Since you're all here, then tell me your purpose and what kind of cooperation you want to discuss."
After saying that, Yagura also muttered to herself in complaint.
"Really, this kind of thing that should be handed over to the Anbu, they have to send me here personally. I could have used this time to kill more Stone Ninjas on the battlefield."
Having earned the reputation of the Sand Ninja hero, Yagura's strength was at least kage - level. Therefore, the Mist Ninjas weren't in a rush to take action. Instead, they rambled on about all sorts of trivial things.
The more Yagura listened, the more confused she became, and she directly raised her hand to interrupt them.
"You Mist Ninjas called us here to form an alliance. Just talk about the alliance seriously and stop talking nonsense."
Hearing this, the leading Mist Ninja shrugged.
"No wonder you're known as the one with the Blaze Release, the Sand Ninja hero. You're really a heroic woman."
As he spoke, he silently watched a Sand Ninja beside Yagura take out a Kunai smeared with a highly poisonous substance.
Seeing this, the corners of the Mist Ninjas Anbu's mouth hidden under the mask involuntarily curled up.
"Lady Yagura should already know that our Mist Ninja Village lost the elite team of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in the previous war, and the Sand Ninjas also announced their defeat in the war against Konoha. If we form an alliance, the Sand Ninjas' strength is still a bit stronger than ours, the Mist Ninjas."
"What do you mean?"
Sensing something was wrong, Yagura began to mobilize the chakra in her body, ready to deal with the other side's sneak attack at any time.
And the Mist Ninjas Anbu who saw this scene slowly spoke with a smiling voice.
"What I mean is, as long as the Sand Ninjas lose a high - level combatant, then they will be on the same level as the Mist Ninjas in terms of strength. Only then will this cooperation be more sincere."
After listening, Yagura already knew that the other side had ulterior motives. But even so, there were only a few people on the other side, maybe only one Jonin. Did they really think they could attack her with such limited combat power? They were really underestimating her strength.
"Heheh, you really think too highly of yourselves."
As she spoke, Yagura raised both hands, and three orange - red orbs emitting endless heat floated around her.
However, just as Yagura was about to strike first, the Sand Ninja beside her also took action.
Yagura, who never expected her comrade to betray her, didn't have time to react. The Kunai smeared with a highly poisonous substance was directly stabbed into her lower back.
The Kunai hit Yagura's lumbar vertebra. In an instant, Yagura lost all feeling in the lower body. Moreover, the highly poisonous substance was rapidly spreading through her body, leaving her completely powerless.
Yagura collapsed weakly to the ground. The light ball created by her Blaze Release dissipated after losing control. However, Yagura had no time to care about her ninjutsu. Instead, she stared at the person who had attacked her from behind in disbelief.
"Why?"
"Sorry, Lady Yagura. This is all for the sake of the Sand Ninja Village. Only your death can bring more benefits to our village."
After saying that, this Sand Ninja stepped back silently with the remaining three Sand Ninjas, leaving the rest to the Mist Ninjas.
Looking at their actions, disbelief still remained on Yagura's face.
"Are you really going to abandon your comrade for such a reason?"
No matter how Yagura questioned them, the Sand Ninjas remained silent, simply watching quietly.
The Mist Ninjas didn't rush to make a move either. With a damaged lumbar vertebra and poisoned by the highly poisonous substance, unless Tsunade was present, no one could save Yagura.
Yagura, who was well aware of this, was filled with hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.
As a renowned Sand Ninja hero and a strong candidate to become the future Fourth kage, she was not going to die on the battlefield, but in some unknown corner, dying an unclear death for such a lousy reason of the Sand Ninja Village. This was simply the greatest humiliation to her.
The highly poisonous substance gradually spread through her body. Yagura felt as if countless ants were biting her skin. At the same time, her breathing became difficult, and her vision started to darken.
Seeing Yagura approaching death, the Mist Ninjas Anbu stepped forward to take her body for a report.
"Damn, in the end, I didn't expect other villages to be so dark too."
"Who!?"
The sudden words made all the Sand Ninjas and Mist Ninjas alert. They had checked before, and there should have been no one around.
Yue Yan had no intention of hiding. He walked out openly.
When the Sand Ninjas and Mist Ninjas noticed Yue Yan's excessively good - looking face and the iconic red at the end of his hair, they remembered a name that had been added to the ninja roster not long ago.
"You're the Golden Thunder Beast from Konoha!"
Yue Yan was a bit surprised when he heard this.
"I didn't expect I'd become so famous already. But that doesn't matter."
Yue Yan twisted his neck, and a series of cracking bone sounds rang out. Golden Lightning Bolts continuously appeared around his body.
"My mission this time is to kill you all."
The moment he finished speaking, Yue Yan activated the Thunder Beast Mode.
Previously, the Thunder Beast Mode resembled some unknown feline. But now, it had completely transformed into the appearance of Zeraora.
Yue Yan raised his claw, looked at the blue paw pad in his palm and the sharp claws outlined by Lightning Bolts. Eager to test out the new version of the Thunder Beast Mode, he swiped his claw in the direction of the Sand Ninjas.
Watching four white crescent-shaped sharp glints flying towards them, the Sand Ninjas who came to their senses formed hand seals to perform [Wind Release].
"[Wind Release] · Sickles of Wind (Zangei)!"
The cutting slash Sickles of Wind composed of strong winds was scattered by the glints as soon as they touched, and then the Sand Ninjas who never expected this scene were cut to pieces.
"Run for your lives!"
Upon seeing what had just happened, the Sand Ninjas and Mist Ninjas didn't even think twice before turning around and running away. They had no intention of fighting at all. Come on, they don't stand a chance!
Seeing this, Yue Yan wasn't going to let them go.
He stomped on the ground forcefully. The moment he shattered the ground, his figure dashed out suddenly. While using High - Speed Movement to make his body more agile, he also used electromagnetic levitation, making him more than twice as fast as before.
From afar, the naked eye could only barely catch a fleeting glimpse of a golden electric light streaking through the air.
The moment they heard the sound of breaking through the air, the Sand Ninjas knew Yue Yan was extremely fast. They wanted to turn around and use ninjutsu to intercept him. But before they could even put their hands together to form the first hand seal, Yue Yan had already reached them.
He swung down his sharp claws, and a head flew off directly. Before the blood could even splash out, Yue Yan was already in front of the second person.
From the moment Yue Yan started to the end, it didn't even take a minute.
As the fallen Yagura's consciousness gradually sank into darkness, her blurred vision saw a pair of furry feet approaching her.
She had reached her limit. After vaguely hearing something about a nice back and cupping therapy, her consciousness plunged into darkness.
