C133 Kei Ichi!

"I've said it before, you're not even worth my effort."

After unleashing his strike, Yang Ming gazed indifferently at Tuoba Yi, who was now gasping for air, and let out a mocking laugh.

"Such formidable strength. It's likely on par with that individual. Even if he's not my disciple, there must be some connection!"

Witnessing Tuoba Yi as the sole survivor among the Cloud Ninja, Hyūga and his companion couldn't help but marvel. They were still reeling from the immense power of the Chakra that Yang Ming had unleashed.

"Incredible, Mr. Gekka!"

Hinata was utterly astonished. Over a dozen Cloud Ninja, including two Elite Ninja, had been swiftly dispatched by Yang Ming!

"This is the Strange Strength of Lady Tsunade, and you seem to surpass her. In terms of power, only the Raikage can match you. I accept my defeat with no regrets."

Tuoba Yi had come to a grim realization. Surveying the shattered earth around him, he let out a wry chuckle.

His mission was a failure.

"It's astonishing that a prodigy like this has emerged from the Grass Ninja. He's only five, soon to be six years old, and already so powerful. Could this signal the rise of the Grass Ninja?"

Tuoba Yi sighed, but a glint of cold determination soon flickered in his eyes.

The mission was compromised, he had failed, and while he faced punishment, those who thwarted him wouldn't get off easily either. Despite being stunned by Yang Ming's strength, he knew it wasn't unbeatable.

"Mr. Gekka, your interference with our Cloud Ninja won't go unanswered. You may be strong, and I concede today, but don't let it go to your head. A powerful figure from our Cloud Ninja will soon arrive, and believe me, you won't stand a chance against him!"

"Oh? Is that so? Let this Cloud Ninja big shot come then. I'll spare your life for now. Go ahead and summon him. I'll be waiting nearby. I won't rest easy until I've dealt with all of you."

Yang Ming responded with a cold sneer to these words.

"Hmph, quite the braggart, aren't you, Mr. Gekka? You may be formidable for your age, possessing such strength and power, but do you really think that's enough to thwart my Cloud Ninja operation? Even if you were ten times stronger, you wouldn't stand a chance in front of this great individual."

Tuoba Yi sneered, his confidence in the aforementioned person abundantly clear.

"A great individual? Are you referring to that prodigy from the Cloud Ninja, Kei Ichi? He's come to Konoha as well?"

Upon hearing the name, the two Hyūga members' faces drained of color as they exclaimed in alarm.

"Is this Kei Ichi really that formidable?"

Observing their reaction, Yang Ming couldn't help but furrow his brow and ask.

"Absolutely. He's the recipient of the Raikage's direct teachings, a renowned master and elite ninja within the Cloud Ninja. He distinguished himself with his exceptional performance in the three battles!"

Hyūga ruefully smiled, clearly awed by the mention of Kei Ichi.

"Really? He's received the Raikage's legacy?"

Yang Ming pondered. The Raikage had traditionally practiced the Lightning Escape Body Tempering technique, creating a suit of Lightning Escape Armor around the body, enhancing physical reactions, making them renowned for their speed. In full force, they were like living lightning.

And with such devastating power, if Kei Ichi had indeed inherited the Raikage's teachings, then he must have mastered the Lightning Escape Armor as well!

No wonder the two Hyūga ninjas were so visibly shaken by his name!

"Well then, let him come. I'm in need of a formidable opponent to cement my own fame," Yang Ming said dismissively, gesturing with his hand nonchalantly.
