One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

As the war dragged on, all five great ninja villages suffered heavy casualties. Among them, Sunagakure was the first to give up, and Rasa passed through several high-level elections.

Having already been successfully appointed as the Fourth Kazekage, Yekura, harboring resentment, did not attend the succession ceremony but instead vented her anger on the Kirigakure ninja.

After all, she had fought for the village on the battlefield for many years, and apart from being a wartime commander, she had no other practical benefits.

However, Yekura, who was devoted to the village, sulked for a few days and then created dozens more mummies for Kirigakure before putting the Kazekage matter out of her mind!

"Burning Escape, Kill by Steam!"

Another dried-up mist ninja corpse lay on the ground, its body dried out. Yekura spoke lightly, directing her subordinates behind her.

"The war is almost over, these Mist Ninja won't last much longer!"

"Iwagakure has officially announced a ceasefire; only these opportunistic Kirigakure ninja are still holding out!"

"Hang in there, everyone! Victory belongs to Sunagakure!!!"

As Yekura finished speaking, the Sand Ninja's morale soared, and they broke through several more lines of defense of the Mist Ninja with unstoppable momentum.

However, Ye Cang, who was charging into battle, was unaware that her fate had already been decided in a secret high-level meeting!

With a gloomy expression, Rasa scanned the high-ranking members of the group. Apart from the retired Chiyo and Ebizo, all the top figures in Sunagakure were present.

"Now, regarding the plan to end the war with Kirigakure as soon as possible, let's begin the formal vote. If we agree to exchange Pakura's sacrifice for Sunagakure's chance to recuperate, please raise your hands to vote!"

The dozen or so people in the room exchanged knowing glances. Seeing that no one would take the lead, Luo Sha reluctantly raised his hand.

"I agree……"

"Seconded" x11

It passed unanimously; not a single high-ranking official abstained. After all, anyone would choose between a newly appointed Kage and a Sand Village ninja destined to be discarded…

The following day, Kirigakure presented a formal ceasefire application and a contract for an alliance, which mainly established diplomatic relations between the two villages and formed a defensive alliance.

Subsequently, the Mist Ninja showed their sincerity by taking the initiative to tighten their defenses and dismantle the traps they had placed on the position.

Yekura also received the news. Looking at the secret letter from the village, she remained suspicious but did not take any further action. Subsequently, the Mist Ninja from the border area voluntarily withdrew one after another.

Only then could Yecang truly relax. She mobilized the remaining Sand Ninja to return to the village one after another. Even after retiring from the front lines, she didn't remain idle.

Even when he was physically and mentally exhausted, he would stay with his disciple, Maki, and teach him ninjutsu.

In the dead of night, a member of the Sand Village's ANBU suddenly knocked on her door and said respectfully.

"Jonin Yekura, the Kazekage-sama needs to speak with you..."

Wearing pajamas, Yekura nodded with a displeased expression.

"Honestly, we've only had a few days of peace and quiet, and there are already new tasks."

"Seriously, staying up late at night is really bad for a girl's skin..."

After complaining for a while, Yekura quickly changed into her ninja vest. After all, she was the village's Kage, and she still had to observe proper etiquette.

Upon seeing Ye Cang arrive, Luo Sha, with a smile on his face, took out a scroll from his desk.

"I'm so sorry, Yekura..."

“The village is currently facing a talent shortage, with many lower and middle-ranking Sand Ninja killed in action, and the remaining Jonin are also busy with their own missions. I really don’t know who to ask to carry out this mission…”

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you!"

Yekura and Rasa didn't have much of a relationship. They only joined forces once when Kumogakure invaded, and they also harbored some resentment towards the position of Kazekage.

He didn't give the other party a friendly look, but directly accepted the scroll in a businesslike manner.

"Lord Kazekage, there's no need for you to explain so much to a mere Sand Ninja like me. Let's get straight to the point!"

Despite being met with indifference, Luo Sha wasn't angry. After all, who would argue with a dead person? He spoke gently.

"You are needed as an envoy to personally travel to Kirigakure as quickly as possible. Besides delivering the signed alliance treaty to the Mizukage, there are some detailed conditions that require their response..."

"That's why we need you. Let's leave tonight..."

"Understood, leave it to me!"

Ye Cang solemnly tucked the scroll into his clothes, tapped his chin slightly, and prepared to leave.

She also attached great importance to this mission, after all, she deserved the most credit for forcing the Mist Ninja to sign a ceasefire agreement!

The next morning, Juan, carrying breakfast in her hand, arrived at Yecang's door and gently knocked.

"Teacher, I've brought you breakfast. This time I brought you special yogurt from Kusagakure Village..."

After knocking for a while without getting a response from the homeowner, Juan lowered his head, guessing that his teacher must have gone to carry out a mission, and left dejectedly.

"We had arranged to have Master Yecang teach me my training today..."

Yecang, having traversed mountains and rivers, finally encountered the Kirigakure ninja who had come to meet him as they approached Kirigakure. The two nodded to each other in greeting.

"Friends from the Sand Village, please follow me. The Mizukage has been waiting..."

Yekura didn't react much to the ingratiating tone of the Mist Ninja, after all, they were enemies in the past, even though the war was over, so she responded coldly.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way..."

"Please go ahead..."

With a wave of his hand, the handsome Kirigakure Jonin left with Yecang. She was initially wary, but once she realized that the Kirigakure ninja was genuinely leading the way, and given that they had officially signed the alliance agreement, she stopped worrying.

When the two reached a place with open terrain and cliffs on both sides, the Kirigakure Jonin behind her suddenly turned around, drew a shuriken, and stabbed her in the back.

"Uh, why? We're already allies..."

The handsome-looking Mist Ninja quickly retreated, creating distance, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"What a joke! What do you think the conditions for a ceasefire are?"

Yecang, who had become a victim of the village, looked pained. It wasn't just the physical pain, but the inner torment that made her suffer the most!

Lying on the ground, looking at the countless kunai darts thrown down from the two cliffs, Yekura closed her beautiful eyes in despair.

"To die like this, it's so unfair..."

As she closed her eyes, a gentle voice sounded from beside her.

"If you've given up on Sunagakure, why not give my Kusagakure a try? Anyone at the Special Level will not only receive excellent treatment, but also enjoy a two-day work week with one day off, and various other benefits..."

Ye Cang opened his eyes in confusion, only to see flattened kunai fragments scattered all around him. He looked at the not-so-tall figure and murmured.

"I'm beyond saving. If I hadn't been born in Sunagakure, perhaps my fate would have been different if I had lived in a different village..."

Yekura struggled to stand up straight.

"You go, I'll use my last bit of strength to stop these guys!"

The dashing Mist Ninja who had fled earlier, wielding a ninja sword and followed by a dozen or so ninjas, arrived not far away and said provocatively.

“My previous sword strike pierced her heart. No one can survive such an injury. If I don’t pull out the shuriken, she can live a little longer…”

A painful groan rang out as Kusashiba casually pulled the shuriken that had been stuck in Yekura's back.

Ye Cang's face turned deathly pale from massive blood loss. His eyes widened, and his lips moved as if he were about to say something.

The Mist Ninja burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"Ye Cang, where did you bring this idiot from..."

A dazzling green light flashed by, and Ye Cang, who had been waiting for death with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up in disbelief.

"what did you do to me……"

Cao Zhi shrugged with a smile and smoothed the other person's hair.

"As you can see, I have merely healed you and given you a chance to kill your enemy!"

"And the moment you fell to the ground, I think I vaguely heard 'Idiot'..."

Ye Cang quickly stopped Cao Zhi from saying anything more, conjuring a huge fireball in his hand. The terrifying heat made Cao Zhi uncomfortable, so he pulled down his collar.

"I won't say anything more. From now on, my life, Ye Cang's life, belongs to you!"

"Now, let me avenge the earlier sword strike!"
