Chapter 419: The Threat of the Byakugan Wolf!
Chapter 419: The Threat of the Byakugan Wolf!
"Lord Tang Ping!"
As they exited the temporary command post cave, they heard a sweet female voice.
Hyuga Cangyue!
She had left the battlefield ahead of them and infiltrated the Leaf Village forces.
With her Reincarnation Eye, tracking was a breeze, and she moved much faster than Tang Ping and the other two.
"?"
When Tang Ping saw Hyuga Cangyue, he also noticed two female ninjas with bandages behind her.
Red Bean and Sunset Red!
Perhaps sensing Tang Ping's gaze, the two respectfully greeted him.
"Lord Tang Ping!" they said in unison.
Only those who had witnessed his strength knew the gap between them.
Tang Ping was only a few years older than the two, but their power was worlds apart.
To put it bluntly, he could crush them with one hand, which explained their respectful attitude.
"This isn't a formal occasion, just call me Tang Ping. How did you two meet?"
Tang Ping gestured for them to relax and asked.
He was also curious about how Hyuga Cangyue had ended up with them.
"I met them after they got separated from the main force, so I had them protect me while we joined the Ninja Army!"
Hyuga Cangyue offered a timid 'explanation'.
Hmm, her acting skills are truly impressive, I wouldn't watch the Oscars without you.
Tang Ping thought to himself.
Now he understood why the three of them were together.
Although they had broken through the Cloud Village's pursuit together, it was normal for some to get separated, so this situation wasn't unusual.
"Your injuries... Don't you have any healing potions?"
Tang Ping looked at their wounds and felt puzzled.
Medical ninjas would naturally prioritize treating those with the most severe injuries first, so it was understandable if they hadn't gotten to them yet.
But healing potions were something others might lack, shouldn't Red Bean have some?
After all, her teacher was Orochimaru.
Alright!
Seeing Red Bean lower her head, Tang Ping remembered that she had been detained by the Shadow Division for a while. So, even if Orochimaru had given her many healing potions in the past, she probably didn't have any left by now.
As for Sunset Red, it was even more understandable.
With the elite Jonin, Sunset Crimson, she would never have lacked for anything, but after the Nine-Tailed incident, where Sunset Crimson died, her life had become more challenging.
Konoha originally had plenty of healing potions.
But with the constant consumption from the Ninja World Wars and local conflicts, their supplies had diminished, making them genuinely scarce now.
"Here!"
Tang Ping took out two bottles from his tactical belt and tossed them to the two women.
Of course, the ones he carried were the original, undiluted versions.
With his current status and position, he didn't need to be as cautious as before about certain things.
Red Bean and Sunset Red took the potions, looking a bit surprised, perhaps not expecting Tang Ping to give them something so valuable.
Healing potions sometimes meant the difference between life and death.
Even though Konoha had cultivated some medical ninjas under Tsunade's guidance, they were still few compared to the vast number of ninjas, highlighting the rarity of healing potions.
However, the two women wouldn't be polite.
In such dangerous times, politeness meant risking their lives.
Moreover, they understood that while these potions were precious to them, they were readily available to Tang Ping.
Gulp!
The two women drank the healing potions.
Their injuries left them feeling completely vulnerable.
Of course, they didn't drink them outside but only after returning to their residence.
At this moment, Hyuga Cangyue had led Tang Ping and Mountain Clan Houshi to a small treehouse built among the trees.
The surrounding area was filled with similar treehouses.
For ninjas, wilderness survival was an essential skill, so this wasn't unusual.
Note that Hyuga Cangyue had set up the treehouse here because the Oilada Clan was nearby.
She knew that her opponent could be considered a member of the Skyguard Lineage, so it wasn't surprising that they chose this location.
The treehouse where Red Bean and Red resided was not far away.
"Any findings?"
As soon as they entered the treehouse, Lord Tang Ping asked without delay.
There were several things about the Cloud Village invasion that Nara Kujousei couldn't understand.
For instance, how could the Cloud Village ninjas have reached the base without the border guards noticing, and how did they eliminate all the Root Division scouts... and so on.
But in Lord Tang Ping's eyes, it was a different matter.
Because someone was interfering.
As for who it was, there was no need to think twice; it was undoubtedly the Byakugan Wolf who had previously annihilated the Cloud Village envoy.
This great war was instigated by the opponent, so it wasn't strange for them to continue meddling.
"Yes!"
Hyuga Cangyue's pale blue eyes swept the surroundings, and she slowly nodded.
Zetsu!
Unintentionally, the opponent was completely exposed to Hyuga Cangyue's eyes.
The Reincarnation Eye only had four Gestation Phases, and if it were a true Reincarnation Eye, one wouldn't need to observe as carefully as now to locate the opponent; a casual glance would suffice.
"As expected, if that guy has made a move, it can't be that simple!"
Lord Tang Ping muttered thoughtfully.
This time, he didn't have the advantage of 'foresight'; he only knew that the opponent was behind the scenes, and was aware of their character and style. As for the rest, he was clueless, so this was a genuine confrontation.
"Is he trying to destroy Konoha?"
Hyuga Cangyue asked.
She felt that the opponent's actions seemed to be aimed in this direction.
After all, whether it was the Nine-Tailed Beast incident or this provocation of the Ninja Village War, it seemed to be aimed at the destruction of Konoha.
"No!"
Lord Tang Ping shared his opinion.
The Byakugan Wolf's true goal was to create a world with 'Rin'.
Of course, this Rin was the one in his heart, not the little demon who had outsmarted him in the Heavenly Fortress.
Taking a shortcut to unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan was terrifying; it could drive the Uchiha clan to madness.
Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, might have discovered this, which was why he was so cautious of the Uchiha clan and coined that famous phrase.
The evil Uchiha clan!
Regardless, Lord Tang Ping relied heavily on the Uchiha, but he wasn't without precautions.
"What should we do next?"
Mountain Clan Houshi joined the conversation, as he usually didn't involve himself in such matters unless explicitly ordered.
"Let's wait and see, but be careful. I'm worried that the opponent might target us, especially me, as I'm currently in a 'wounded' state!!"
Lord Tang Ping revealed his plan.
Given the Byakugan Wolf's style, it was very likely that he would target Lord Tang Ping.
He had even dared to harm his teacher and his wife; it wouldn't be strange for him to target Lord Tang Ping, an 'Uchiha' with whom he had little connection.
Especially now that he was in a 'wounded' state, he was an even more ideal target.
This time, if the opponent truly made a move, Lord Tang Ping was prepared to expose his true identity.
However, he wouldn't reveal everything.
After all, his real enemies were Dan Lord, Heketsu, and Rikudo, not the Byakugan Wolf.
As long as the Byakugan Wolf remained at the forefront, these hidden manipulators wouldn't show themselves. Therefore, until Lord Tang Ping dealt with those behind-the-scenes manipulators, the opponent couldn't fall.
But not being able to defeat the opponent didn't mean he couldn't teach them a lesson if they truly targeted him.
Lord Tang Ping now only hoped that others would take care.
With this white wolf keeping an eye on them, Nara Kujousei's plan had no chance of success.
And Lord Tang Ping's guess was correct.
In the dead of night, this small valley where the remnants of Konoha hid welcomed an 'unwanted guest'.
