Chapter 109 The Azure Dragon of Dawn
The capital of the land of craftsmen.

A middle-aged man wearing a black eye patch over his right eye listened with a frown to his subordinate's report: "Lord Qing, the squad we sent out to carry out the ambush mission has been completely wiped out."

“I understand.” The middle-aged man named Qing said solemnly and in a deep voice, “Remember to tell the employer not to go out during this period.”

"Yes."

Seeing his subordinate ninja disappear in an instant, Qing raised his hand and gently touched his right eye, which was covered by a black eyepatch.

"Do you understand?"

"You cannot escape this eye."

As a veteran Jonin of Kirigakure, the middle-aged man had naturally heard of the Akatsuki organization, not to mention that there were rogue ninjas from Kirigakure in this organization.

But so what? Ao is confident that he can protect this big client from the Akatsuki, after all, with his Byakugan, his insight far surpasses that of ordinary ninjas.

This is why Lady Terumi Mei sent him to carry out this mission.

"The village has been isolated for too long. As the beginning of the transformation, this mission absolutely cannot fail."

Recalling the Fourth Mizukage's closed-off policy, Ao's face darkened.

If he hadn't dispelled the illusion cast on the other party, the village would probably still be under the so-called 'Village of Blood Mist' policy.

This policy has claimed the lives of countless precious bloodline ninjas in the village.

Unfortunately, even now, Kirigakure doesn't know who exactly killed the Fourth Mizukage.

After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, the village came under the control of Elder Genshi, who now serves Mei Terumi, a strong contender for the next Mizukage position.

The opposing side's claim is...
Actively engage with the outside world and let Kirigakure be great again!
As a veteran of the Akatsuki organization, Sasori, although he usually stays at home in his base like a shut-in, is not at all rusty when it comes to handling commissions.

Soon, he used a fake identity to take Li Ang to a hotel not far from the mission location.

Since they didn't know exactly how many Hidden Mist ninjas were hiding in the city, the two did not act rashly.

Although Li Ang believed that both he and Scorpion could forcibly kill the mission target.

After all, Kirigakure is probably the weakest of the five great ninja villages. The village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people. The only one who can fight is Mei Terumi, the big thunder queen.

It's precisely because of its unique geographical location that the Hidden Cloud Village would have already come knocking on their door to extort military funds.

In the cramped hotel room, Sasori said in a hoarse voice, "I have finished gathering intelligence. The leader of the Kirigakure team this time is a Jonin named Ao."

As he spoke, he glanced at the ring on Li Ang's hand.

The puppeteer never expected such a coincidence.

When Li Ang first heard the name 'Qing', he felt the same way, since his code name in the Akatsuki organization was also 'Qing'.

But soon he felt that the name sounded familiar.

After racking his brains for a while, Li Ang suddenly realized that this was the ninja from Kirigakure who possessed the Byakugan!
He had only thought about it before, but he never expected that the other party would actually come to him on their own.

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, Sasori continued, "He has a Byakugan that he stole from Konoha."

"So we're going to just rush in and kill them all?"

As Li Ang spoke, he made a swift, downward motion as if wielding a knife.

His original plan was simply to find an opportunity to plant a beacon on the target and then shoot him dead with Gungnir.

But now that the item I need has appeared, I certainly can't do that anymore.

'But do the eyes need to be removed while the holder is still alive?'

After a brief moment of thought, Li Ang deduced that this should be the case under normal circumstances; otherwise, the Sharingan and Byakugan would have already filled the entire ninja world.

Conversely, abnormal situations include beings like Ao and Danzo who are not the original owners of the eyes.

They simply cannot close their eyes on their own, otherwise they wouldn't need to seal their eyes in their daily lives.

Stealing their eyes likely doesn't require them to be alive.

With this in mind, Li Ang gradually formed a plan.

After hearing Li Ang's words, Scorpion fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Their defensive strength can't stop us. Summon your puppet and finish this quickly."

He doesn't like wasting time.

Now that we have roughly ascertained the defensive strength of the Hidden Mist ninja in the city, there is no need to continue hiding.

It's just a Byakugan; those Hidden Mist ninjas probably don't really think it can do anything.

After all, the abilities that Byakugan was so proud of were completely useless against these puppeteers.

Having finalized their plan, Li Ang and Scorpion waited quietly in the room.

There was still some time before nightfall, so the two decided to wait until it was completely dark before making their move.

Soon, night fell and the capital of the Kingdom of Craftsmen gradually quieted down.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood on the roof of a building, looking at the brightly lit mansion in the distance.

“I’ve already scouted out the target’s hiding place. I’ll be the one to decapitate him. You’re in charge of holding off those Hidden Mist ninja.”

Sasori originally planned to hold off the Hidden Mist ninja himself so that Leon could carry out the beheadings.

However, considering that he had gathered the intelligence himself, he was more familiar with the terrain than those around him.

In addition to the destructive power displayed by Li Ang's unknown bloodline limit, Sasori adjusted the division of labor between the two sides.

Faced with Scorpion's arrangement, Li Ang readily agreed, or rather, it suited him perfectly: "No problem."

"Don't hold me back." After saying these last words, Scorpion controlled Hiruko to disappear from the spot.

Li Ang looked at the mansion in the distance, quickly formed five hand seals, and then slapped the ground.

boom--

With a puff of white smoke, Odin, who was in the Land of Rain, suddenly appeared beside him.

'This psychic magic is far too useful.'

It has to be said that there are indeed many good things in the Naruto world.

Many techniques that are highly advanced in other worlds can be achieved in this world using only chakra.

Chakra, as the power that allowed the Otsutsuki clan to dominate the starry sky, certainly has its unique aspects.

'I can't wait to switch jobs!'

With this thought in mind, Li Ang and Odin vanished instantly.

In the mansion.

Qing was sitting cross-legged in a dark room, and the eye patch on his right eye had been removed at some point, revealing terrifying blue veins throbbing slightly around his right eye.

At this moment, the entire world appeared as black and white in the eyes of this Jonin from Kirigakure.

'Judging from the timing of the failed ambush, the enemy must have entered the city several days ago.'

'Have they been gathering intelligence by not taking any action?'

In Qing's view, being a ninja is undoubtedly a profession that tests patience, and time is on their side.

After all, they can wait indefinitely, but the enemy of the assassin cannot.

The traps are all set; now we just wait for them to walk right in.

Through his Byakugan, Ao could see the Hidden Mist Ninja hiding throughout the mansion, as well as the explosive tag traps they had set up in advance.

He was confident that with such a comprehensive and inescapable setup, even if the mission was carried out by a powerful figure at the level of the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they would definitely be in deep trouble.

Li Ang commented that the child had never been hit by a Gundam, which is why he had such unrealistic fantasies.

Let's not even talk about Gundam. At this stage, which of the Kage from the other three major ninja villages besides Kirigakure and Sunagakure can't speedrun?
Just as Qing was using his Byakugan to observe his surroundings, a sense of threat, seemingly from nowhere, suddenly swept over his entire body, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

'Enemies?! Where did they come from?!'

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he caught sight of a figure descending from the sky through the roof.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qing immediately pulled the alarm button beside him.

The next moment, the clear sound of the copper bell resounded throughout the entire mansion.

Upon hearing the sound, the Hidden Mist Ninja, who were hiding in the shadows, immediately went into battle alert.

thump—

With a dull thud, a tall figure dressed in a black robe with red clouds landed in the center of the mansion, and fine cracks like a spider web spread outwards from beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Qing Shen's expression darkened slightly in the dark room: "Ninjutsu? A rogue ninja from Kumogakure?"

It's not surprising that he would have such thoughts, after all, among the five great ninja villages, only the Hidden Cloud Village has ninjas with such exaggerated physical strength.

They are called ninjas, but they are more like warriors. They are the complete opposite of the Hidden Mist Village, which is skilled in assassination.

However, not all of the Hidden Cloud Village members are like this; there are also those who are skilled in assassination.

But Qing couldn't care less about all that; he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Something without the spirit of a ninja."

Just then, his white eyes caught sight of another figure, but this time the commotion wasn't as loud as before.

Seeing the two people who landed in the courtyard one after the other, Qing did not hesitate at all and immediately detonated the explosive tag traps near them.

Boom boom boom——!
A violent explosion rang out, and raging flames instantly engulfed the two of them.

Seeing this, Qing couldn't help but purse her lips.

That's it?

The so-called Akatsuki members are actually such clueless guys, and he even considered them as evenly matched opponents.

However, just as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from the center of the explosion.

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

Then, to Qing's astonishment, two unharmed figures slowly emerged from the flames.

[Body Strength 72.6] + [Reversal of Innate Nature] + [Triple Rebirth] + [Burning Body].

With so many layers of traps, it would be wishful thinking to think that such a simple explosive tag trap could harm Li Ang.

Hearing the crackling of the fire beside him, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Let me introduce you, a member of the Akatsuki organization, codename Blue."

"or."

"You can also call me Dragon."

At that moment, a gentle breeze lifted the wide sleeve of Li Ang's left hand, revealing a ring with the character "青" (qing, meaning blue) on his index finger.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mansion fell into a deathly silence.
