Chapter 17
"Sorry, there don't seem to be any B-rank missions related to the Land of Waves!"
"That's what the manager said awkwardly."
The person in front of me is Konoha's first genius, and I was hoping to build a good relationship with him.
But I never expected it to turn out so awkward.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's from the Land of Waves, it's fine!"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye spoke.
The mission doesn't matter, as long as it involves going to the Land of Waves.
"Oh, I have this!"
Upon hearing this, the manager quickly produced a Class C scroll.
"This is an assignment to investigate a missing child!"
"Because there are relatively few ninjas in the Land of Waves, most of the missions related to it are C-rank."
"Okay, this is it!"
Bai Ye accepted the task without hesitation.
P.S.: Requesting flowers, ratings, comments, monthly tickets, and tips! Thank you, everyone!
Chapter Twenty-Two: One sentence breaks through Yakushi Kabuto's defenses, Danzo's ambush!
After receiving the mission scroll, Bai Ye only glanced at it briefly.
"Disappeared near the shipping company."
"A samurai carrying a large sword, accompanied by a masked attendant."
He knew without even thinking who had done it.
Bai Ye then left the mission center.
A type of ninja remained at the mission center.
"Lord Baiye is actually so concerned about a mere C-rank mission. Is there something fishy going on here?"
After Bai Ye left, the managers immediately started to imagine the rest.
As the current number one young player in Konoha, Bai Ye certainly wouldn't set his sights on a C-level mission for no reason.
"You, investigate this mission again later, and reassess its level based on the information from the employer!"
Only after finishing everything did I feel at ease enough to leave.
On the other side, Byakuya was leaving Konoha for the first time and felt curious about everything around him.
After all, he had been here for over a decade, and this was the first time he had left Konoha!
However, Bai Ye ran into an acquaintance as soon as he stepped out.
No, they're not exactly acquaintances.
"Are you also going out on a mission? I recognize you, Bai Ye!"
A bespectacled, well-mannered-looking young man greeted Bai Ye warmly upon seeing him.
"You don't recognize me yet, do you? I'm your senior, Kabuto Yakushi!"
Kabuto Yakushi used what he considered to be a kind expression.
This set of expressions can be said to be the key to easily gaining trust.
However, today seems to be an exception.
Bai Ye didn't even think about reaching out.
"Haha, it's normal that you don't recognize me. I just returned to the village after completing a mission."
Bai Ye coldly watched as the clumsy pharmacist tried to act like a senior in front of him.
"Speak, what is it?"
Byakuya looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said decisively.
The fact that the other party appeared in front of him must mean that they had other purposes.
"Hehe, don't worry about it, I just wanted to make friends with you."
"By the way, this should be your first time leaving the village on a mission, right? It looks like you're going to the Land of Waves?"
No matter how much Byakuya ignored him, Kabuto Yakushi still wore his standard smile.
"I have a detailed map here leading to the Land of Waves!"
As he spoke, Kabuto took it out and intended to give it to Byakuya.
"Speak, what did Orochimaru send you here for!"
When Byakuya saw that Kabuto had revealed his true colors, he simply stopped pretending.
He directly exposed that Kabuto Yakushi was actually Orochimaru's man.
"This Bai Ye is indeed calm and collected; he even knows this!"
Kabuto was somewhat shocked, but he didn't show it outwardly.
It seems that Bai Ye is much more sensitive than those old folks in the village!
"Not at all, I was just doing something for Lord Orochimaru. Orochimaru heard about you and greatly admires you!"
Kabuto slowly approached Byakuya, then whispered in Byakuya's ear.
"About Wood Release!"
Then, just when Kabuto thought he would shock Byakuya...
To everyone's surprise, Bai Ye didn't even blink.
This caused Kabuto Yakushi, who had originally planned to use this to gain the upper hand, to miscalculate.
This information is considered an SSS-level secret in Konoha!
"Oh, and then!"
Byakuya couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Yakushi Kabuto trying to get his attention.
The other party only saw the tip of the iceberg and thought they knew enough about me.
"But to be honest, I actually know you quite well!"
Byakuya's gaze remained fixed on Yakushi Kabuto.
That look made Kabuto feel like he was being seen through completely.
And what is the most terrifying thing about being a double agent?
It means I've been seen through!
"Just kidding, I'm not a famous genius in Konoha like Byakuya-kun."
Before Kabuto could finish speaking, Byakuya also appeared beside him.
"Yakushi Nonou!"
Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi was completely stunned!
He originally thought that Byakuya would guess that he was either Danzo's or Orochimaru's man.
But to my surprise, the other party actually said that name.
He almost fell to his knees because he lost his balance.
"So, will you deny it?"
Byakuya looked at Kabuto Yakushi with great interest, betting that the other party wouldn't refute him.
At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi was completely deflated.
He originally came thinking he had uncovered Bai Ye's secret, but he never expected that Bai Ye's words would shatter his plans!
"Never mind, judging from your appearance, you can't even speak clearly."
As he spoke, Bai Ye walked right past Yakushi Kabuto.
As for killing him?
All I can say is that Kabuto Yakushi isn't qualified yet, if it were Ryu Kabuto here.
So Bai Ye wouldn't mind sparring with the other party.
But for an ordinary person, fighting him is no problem at all.
Danzo has men he's arranged to ambush you along the way!
After revealing this news, Kabuto Yakushi completely lost all confidence.
Byakuya saw through him in just a few words, which was unacceptable to the proud Kabuto Yakushi.
But Bai Ye seemed not to hear him and left directly.
Only after Byakuya left did Kabuto Yakushi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
That's terrifying!
Byakuya gave off a terrifying aura; even Kabuto Yakushi didn't feel this way when facing Orochimaru and Danzo.
It was as if she had no secrets from him at all.
"It seems like all that was done was unnecessary!"
Kabuto Yakushi picked up the map of the Land of Waves from the ground, intending to give it to Byakuya.
He originally thought that Bai Ye would need this for his first mission outside the village.
But unexpectedly, Bai Ye didn't need it at all!
"I'm afraid Danzo's people are in for a rough time!"
Kabuto Yakushi stared at Byakuya's departing figure and said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Who told Danzo to dare target someone with the top-tier Wood Release bloodline limit?
It's important to know that this kind of bloodline limit can only be seen from the First Hokage!

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blind Brother, One-Hit Kill!
"Yakushi Kabuto is quite a multi-talented guy!"
On the other side, after leaving Konoha, Byakuya found it much easier to follow the map given to him by Kabuto Yakushi.
Surely no one really thinks he wouldn't even glance at the map?
This is the first time he has left Konoha!
"Those should be Danzo's men up ahead!"
In a quiet forest.
Through his ability to perceive things from extremely long distances, Bai Ye has already discovered the people from the Root.
"Too bad, I'm too lazy to play house with you guys here!"
"Wood Release: Descent from the Sea of Trees!"
Byakuya used his own chakra as the source of his life force to activate a ninjutsu that caused multiple trees to grow rapidly from the ground, as if they had been uprooted.
In an instant, the entire forest was pierced by countless trees!
It's important to know that the trees summoned by Wood Release have top-notch destructive power.
Moreover, anyone touched by Wood Release will have their chakra rapidly drained.
It can be said that the Root members sent by Danzo died here without even seeing Byakuya's face, and their deaths were completely inexplicable.
These are Root ninjas who don't even have names in Naruto.
