It's not that I look down on them, it's just the truth, and it doesn't matter.
Esdeath: “…”
I don't pursue those things.
All they wanted to do was make a move.
For me, being able to fight is the most important thing.
These things bring me pleasure; the joy of combat is both mentally and physically pleasurable. In particular, I enjoy torture and interrogation—these are all things I pursue.
"I know, but I just can't help it."
Esdeath admitted that sometimes he couldn't help but think about taking action to solve the problem, especially since it's really fun to bully weaker opponents, but unfortunately he couldn't.
“It’s a coup, so it’s just them fighting each other. We can’t show our faces or get involved, otherwise the nature of the coup will change,” Bai Mu said slowly.
As an avatar, he was fully aware of the instructions given by the main body; his primary role was supervision, and he did not need to do anything else.
Furthermore, going too far could easily lead to trouble.
Especially Esdeath...
It's easy to steer things astray.
This is not what Bai Mu wants to see, so we must stop it if we can. We can't let it run wild. I know what I'm doing, and I absolutely cannot let it run wild.
"Alright, but what about Orochimaru? If things don't go smoothly, will we rely on Orochimaru or us?" Esdeath had to ask this question.
Do you think it's possible?
I don't know, but we need to take precautions.
In that case, who can intervene?
Or is it Orochimaru, or us?
"We'll act if needed, and not act if not. We'll see how things go." Bai Mu couldn't give a clear answer; he just said to wait and see if it was necessary.
Esdeath shrugged helplessly upon hearing this and said, "It's hard to tell, and right now... Yekura's move is quite ruthless. I really like her; she's a talent."
Talented people are talented, but they are just pawns.
Once a pawn is in a position to turn the tables, it's difficult for it to recover. Moreover, Bai Mu personally made arrangements, so Ye Cang has no chance of turning the tables. So what will be the final outcome for this guy?
That's hard to say, really hard to say.
Chapter 317 I can't beat an old woman?
Whether someone is talented or not is not important.
Bai Mu said calmly, "The important thing is that she is useful to me, so she has a chance; otherwise, she would die."
After all, Yekura knew how he died; he was pushed out by the village to be a scapegoat. After being resurrected, he went mad and became extremely vengeful.
And that makes perfect sense.
Who told you, Sunagakure, to push me to my death?
You can kill me, but I can't kill you.
Bai Mu subdued her partly by intimidating her with his power, and partly by showing her her future, which she initially didn't believe but later came to believe.
The change was very rapid. Furthermore, Rasa himself took action and arranged for an assassination. So even though Yekura was somewhat skeptical before, she completely believed him after the assassination occurred.
Would this guy betray the village's interests?
Esdeath stroked her chin, asking thoughtfully.
"The interests of Konoha are the interests of Sunagakure," Bai Mu said.
"Okay, I knew it." Esdeath shrugged, indicating that she had guessed it.
As for interests, of course, Konoha's interests come first.
Could it be someone from your Sunagakure village?
That's impossible!
"Although Ye Cang has people on her side, the people she gains through the offensive of money depend entirely on whether she can get ahead. If she can't get ahead, she's basically finished."
If the wind isn't favorable, it's game over; there's nothing more to say.
Esdeath now needs to see if Yekura can get ahead. If not, she will have to step in herself. There's nothing wrong with that; she can just disguise herself and go for it.
In addition, she can use ice magic, and can easily kill her way through with just her physical strength, taijutsu, and swordsmanship.
Bai Mu: "..."
Well, I have to say, you're capable.
Esdeath, your abilities are truly outstanding!
"Don't worry, although we can't rely on it completely, as you said, a tailwind is fine," Bai Mu said again.
If it's a tailwind, there shouldn't be any problem.
As for whether or not to hope for it, if you really want to get in, I think it's not impossible. I'm willing to give you a chance.
After thinking about it, Bai Mu felt it was a good idea, as it would bring the matter to a quicker end.
You know, that old woman Chiyo...
This is really tricky; it looks like it won't be easy to handle.
If Esdeath intervenes, the situation will be very different, and it will become one-sided. Therefore, it is not impossible for her to take action, and it is worth a try.
"decide as things go."
Bai Mu did not agree, but he had already softened his stance.
If the problem cannot be resolved quickly, then it will be necessary to take action. However, it's difficult for Yekura to handle so many people alone, mainly Oyero, Chiyo, and Ebizo...
Oyero and Chiyo are currently locked in a fierce battle, but Ebizo is already eyeing Yokura, because after she leaves the scene, she will focus on killing Oyero's people.
Of the hundred or so people, more than a dozen died in the blink of an eye. Although Oyero's men were not a rabble, they were no match for Yekura, and the key issue was their lack of numbers.
The attack from Yekura's faction and the suppression from Chiyo's faction seem to be tacitly targeting Oyero's subordinates, making things truly difficult for Oyero's side.
"Chiyo, aren't we going to deal with that guy Yekura?" Oyero watched with growing anxiety, realizing he had been careless.
He only knows how to fight Chiyo to the death, and has forgotten about Yekura. So he hopes that Chiyo will change her ways, so that the other party won't benefit from the situation.
"Yakura is easy to deal with."
Chiyo remained confident.
Yekura is easy to deal with, but you are not.
Oyero: "..."
That's really crazy.
Look at me now, I'm so difficult to deal with, and you still say I'm hard to handle? Are you out of your mind? You're really not normal.
"She's easy to deal with? In the current situation, do you dare say she's easy to deal with? Chiyo, don't think she's easy to bully. You're all in the past..."
Oyero was persistent and tried to persuade her, but Chiyo refused to listen.
You pose the greatest threat. Who gave you control of a ninja force of over a thousand men? I cannot allow you to continue living. Not eliminating you would be too much of a scourge to Sunagakure.
Once you're dead, things will be much easier.
It's your brother's side that's difficult to deal with, but these people are not necessarily worth giving up on. As long as the main body of the Northern Legion is still there, the mere First Battalion doesn't matter.
Furthermore, once a person dies, they lose many attachments. Perhaps the First Brigade will surrender. Even if there are die-hard loyalists, they are only a minority. Most people will not continue to go crazy.
I am confident in this regard.
"No more words."
Chiyo interrupted her directly.
The puppet continued its attack on Oyero, who was already in a sorry state. Facing Chiyo, a top puppet master, he was really showing signs of weakness.
what happened?
I can't beat an old woman?
This is a bit too much of a blow for Oiero...
I really didn't expect to lose, it's just too embarrassing.
However, the facts were undeniable, leaving Oyero with no choice but to accept them, especially given the current situation: his side had already suffered heavy casualties.
Of the hundred or so people, most of them were killed in this siege, leaving only a dozen or so to put up a last-ditch resistance.
At this time, the Yekura faction clashed with the rapid reaction forces controlled by Chiyo and Ebizo.
Among them, Ebizo personally took action to suppress Yekura, the biggest troublemaker.
"Oh no, this is not good."
Esdeath, hiding in the shadows, muttered to herself.
After seeing this, she knew that Yekura's side was struggling. After all, she had too many people, and Yekura didn't have enough die-hard fans.
When you have an advantage, you can naturally have a favorable wind, but it's difficult when you're going against the wind.
what?
Those supporters?
Especially female ninjas?
Forget it, there's no hope at all.
They're not even as good as the Anbu. The Anbu have already taken action. They've been paid and are fully committed to assisting, while Yashamaru is staying out of it.
It means that I am responsible for maintaining order and stability; that's my job, and you shouldn't expect anything else from me.
Oiero's defeat was inevitable; all that was left was himself and his remaining men...
What good is it? It's completely useless.
As for Yekura?
