Chapter 80: The Name of the Second Emperor Must Not Be Tarnished
Chapter 80: The Name of the Second Emperor Must Not Be Tarnished
The name of the "Emperor" who has lived a second life must not be tarnished.
Qingming, a pseudo-reviver who had no idea of his own strength, had accidentally run into Yu Yi Xuan Yue. Naturally, Yu Yi wouldn't let him embarrass himself by letting him run off.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Qingming and his disciples had planned to use him as a battery before.
Without further ado, Yu Yi lowered his hat's curtain again and began walking towards Qingming and his group.
His casual and unguarded stance made Kong Que, Long Yan, and Shui Hu feel like startled birds, and they stepped back in fear.
"Why are you panicking? I'm here!" Qingming scolded, "So what if he's resurrected? This is no longer the Warring States era! The age of Takumi Village and the Ultimate Ninja Artefacts has arrived!"
Hearing the revered Founder speak, the peacock trio exchanged glances, ashamed of their cowardice.
Regaining their confidence, they resolved to perform well before the Founder.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Though without their signature ninja tools, the trio, confident they could hold their own against Yu Yi Xuan Yue, moved to attack him.
"Roar!"
Shui Hu roared to pump himself up and threw a heavy punch.
Yu Yi didn't even glance at it and simply extended his left hand to stop it.
Shui Hu tried to struggle.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he felt his chakra draining like a flood towards Yu Yi's palm. Shui Hu, who always absorbed others' chakra, had never imagined he'd experience this himself.
Without even a peep, he went soft and collapsed.
Yu Yi tossed Shui Hu aside like garbage and casually reached out to grab the approaching Kong Que and Long Yan, who offered no resistance. He absorbed their chakra and continued walking towards Qingming.
Seeing Yu Yi's indifferent attitude, Qingming felt as if he had returned to the Warring States era, trembling beneath a ninja's blade, filled with dread and anxiety.
"No! This isn't the Warring States era anymore! I, Qingming, have evolved into the Ultimate Ninja Artefact! I need not fear anyone! Instead, everyone should fear me!"
Qingming's face twisted in rage as he spread his hands.
"Thousand Mighty Winds!"
Amidst a high-pitched whistle,
A violent tornado was created by the Ultimate Ninja Artefact and swept towards the approaching Yu Yi.
Yu Yi lifted an eyelid and threw a punch.
Boom!
As if hitting a solid object, the tornado was instantly dispersed.
"How could this be??"
Qingming couldn't believe his ninja technique had been broken so easily.
"Again!"
"Wind Style: Gale Palm Cannon!"
Three balls the size of baseballs, high-density wind pressure bombs, carried piercing sound blasts as they rapidly flew towards Yu Yi under Qingming's command.
Yu Yi's right muscles rippled, and with three casual punches, he detonated the Gale Palm Cannon.
"Why? Why is he so powerful? I've seen ninjas from the Warring States era!"
Qingming began to doubt his life choices.
However, as Yu Yi approached, he mustered his courage, and Long Yan Ya Li's hidden blade behind him transformed into three flexible and retractable dragon-snake swords under his chakra input, stabbing at Yu Yi from three directions.
Yu Yi shook his head and stepped forward with his right foot.
The next second,
Long Yan Ya Li's hidden blade attacks missed.
Before Qingming could react, he was sent flying as if hit by a speeding truck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Trees snapped in half as deep furrows were gouged into the ground, marking the path of Qingming's flight.
He finally came to a halt nearly a hundred meters away, his upper body buried awkwardly in the soil.
Although ninja tools couldn't feel pain, Qingming, as an Ultimate Ninja Artefact, couldn't believe what he was seeing—a massive dent in his chest cavity. He shook his head in denial, muttering, "Impossible! This is impossible!"
"I haven't conquered the ninja world yet! I haven't spread the glory of the Ultimate Ninja Artefact throughout the land! How can I fall here?"
"No! I still have a chance! Chakra! I need more chakra!"
Qingming's desperation drove him to act.
But a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"Your chakra already belongs to me," Yuyi Xuan Yue whispered into Qingming's ear.
In the next second, as Qingming struggled helplessly, the chakra circulating within the Ultimate Ninja Artefact was rapidly absorbed, leaving it dry.
Clang.
Qingming, with his body made entirely of iron bumps, went dark in the eyes, as if he had shut down, and crumpled to the ground, unable to get up again.
Being an inanimate object, Qingming didn't truly die.
Unless the Ultimate Ninja Artefact was destroyed, merely draining its chakra would only put it into a standby state.
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't finish off Qingming.
Although this guy's strength was grossly mismatched with his bravado, he was still a rare specimen.
Moreover, his skills as a craftsman were exceptional.
If handed over to the Yuyi Clan, Qingming could help them achieve a quantum leap in ninja tool crafting.
Having lived a second life, Yuyi was now like an old father; whenever he found something good, he would think of keeping it for his clan.
Shennong, who excelled in medical skills, was an example, and now Qingming, with his talent for ninja tools, would be another asset for the clan.
Perhaps it was a way for Yuyi, the former clan leader, to make up for his past incompetence.
As for the possibility of Qingming being disobedient or even rebellious, Yuyi wasn't concerned.
The so-called Ultimate Ninja Artefact posed a threat roughly on par with a high-level ninja, and it wouldn't be a problem for the Yuyi Clan's headquarters.
Oh, and there were also the remaining three Four Symbols Humans.
Yuyi hadn't paid much attention to them before, but it seemed like they still held a grudge.
Well, he might as well take them along too.
Ninja tools were a significant expense for ninja.
With these four skilled craftsmen joining the Yuyi Village, the clan's economic burden would surely lessen.
Yuyi Xuan Yue lingered for a while longer, waiting for the Yuyi Clan members to arrive and take away Qingming and the Four Symbols Humans. Only then did he continue on his way toward Konoha.
He had no idea that, a thousand miles away, a disheveled Orochimaru was gritting his teeth and muttering, "Yuyi Xuan Yue!!!"
Having finally escaped the pursuit of the artistic duo, Orochimaru now realized who had snatched Sasuke from under his nose.
And if he recalled correctly, the same person had profited from his transaction with Tsunade.
Orochimaru regretted his actions at that moment.
Why did he ever use the Impure World Reincarnation on Yuyi Xuan Yue?!
Was this old man destined to be his nemesis?
Orochimaru made a silent vow:
"Just you wait!
One day, everything will be mine again!"
