Chapter 194 The Daimyo of the Land of Blue and Fire
After Bunta left, Kyosuke landed on the ground, staggered, and almost lost his balance. He felt his muscles begin to twitch and go numb.
Especially in the legs that support the body weight, you can hardly feel the muscles, and the body sways constantly, and you may fall to the ground at any time.
The muscles around the respiratory tract and even internal organs begin to relax, making breathing more difficult.
Kyosuke guessed that in just two or three seconds, he would collapse to the ground like a lump of mud, losing all ability to resist.
Fortunately, he had a huge amount of chakra, and fortunately, he had a master named Minato Namikaze.
Kyosuke created three shadow clones, which stood in a triangle formation, surrounding him in the center, and began forming hand seals.
"Flying Thunder Formation Technique!"
After a long period of study, Kyosuke realized that he could not learn the Flying Thunder God Technique in a short time, so he begged Minato Namikaze to improve the Flying Thunder God Technique so that Kyosuke could use it.
Minato Namikaze was really good to Kyosuke. In addition to carrying out numerous missions, he specially tailored a ninjutsu for Kyosuke—the Flying Lightning Formation Technique.
This ninjutsu doesn't require a high level of skill in space-time ninjutsu from the user. All that's needed is a decent amount of chakra, along with specialized incantations and markings, to perform instantaneous teleportation.
Of course, its shortcomings are also very obvious. It requires a certain amount of preparation time and a safe and undisturbed environment for casting the spell. It is completely useless in intense battles. Minato Namikaze would not approve of it, but Kyosuke thought it was very good.
He has a lot of chakra, so if he encounters danger, he can use numerous shadow clones to defend against the enemy and cover his strategic retreat.
Just like now.
"Oops!"
Outside the sealing barrier, Kazuma also saw Kyosuke's actions. Although he didn't know what ninjutsu Kyosuke would use, he could tell that Kyosuke still had a trump card and might be able to escape alive.
So, Kazuma raised his hands to form hand seals, preparing to interrupt Kyosuke's ninjutsu with ninjutsu, but as soon as his hands came together, he saw Kyosuke disappear within the barrier.
Kazuma abruptly turned his head and looked in the direction of Asuma and Shisui, and sure enough, he saw Kyosuke's figure.
Before even going on stage, Kyosuke had already marked Shisui. So after using the Flying Thunder Formation, he appeared next to Shisui, then his legs gave way and he was about to fall forward when Shisui and Asuma immediately caught him on either side.
"Antidote..."
Kyosuke's facial muscles were very soft and weak, so his words were unclear.
When Shisui saw Kyosuke's limp body, pale face, and eyes that were almost closed, he knew that Kyosuke had been poisoned. He immediately took out a handful of antidote pills, put them into Kyosuke's mouth, and used his hand to lift Kyosuke's chin to help him take the medicine.
Asuma immediately looked at the referee and shouted, "Kyosuke concedes defeat in this round!"
Seeing Asuma and Shisui watching him warily, Kazuma knew he had lost his chance to kill Kyosuke. He snorted coldly and walked down the plaza in a fit of anger.
"Sigh, these guys from Konoha are really tough to deal with."
Mao Likun also shook his head in disappointment.
The selection battles continued, but Kyosuke and Yamori were both seriously injured and therefore did not participate in the battles.
That evening, the selection process ended, and Mao Likun announced that the twenty-four people could advance to the next round of selection, while the others could leave if there was nothing else to do.
Because many people were injured, the next round of assessments was postponed for five days, and everyone rested inside the fortress.
At this time, Ao made contact with the daimyo of the Land of Fire and obtained the opportunity to meet him.
That night, in a dense forest, Qing met two of the daimyo's subordinates.
"To prevent you from gathering intelligence, we're going to seal your white eyes."
The daimyo's subordinate looked at Qing with a serious expression and a slightly hostile gaze.
After all, the two sides are still enemies, and they harbor the most sinister suspicions about Qing's arrival.
Qing had anticipated all of this before he came, which is why he chose to come alone, and he looked calm at the moment.
"I see."
Qing nodded slightly, indicating that she would not resist.
The two ninjas exchanged a glance. One stood still to monitor Ao, ready to deal with any unexpected situation, while the other slowly walked up to Ao and placed his hands in a hand seal on Ao's right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch.
Qing's right eye is the transplanted white eye.
A surge of chakra seeped into Qing's eyes, forming seals around his eye sockets before disappearing.
Ao felt that the nerves connecting him to the Byakugan were blocked, and he was unable to use the Byakugan.
This is a relatively mild seal and does not cause any harm. Once he meets the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Ao will be able to break it himself after spending some time.
After all, Qing's identity is that of an envoy, so she should receive the treatment she deserves.
If it weren't for Byakugan's exceptional investigative abilities, which allow it to easily obtain the Daimyo's secret information, Ao wouldn't have received such special treatment.
Having confirmed that the Byakugan had been sealed, the daimyo's subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and turned to take Ao to see the daimyo.
In a palace beneath a giant rock, Ao met the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Along the way, Ao didn't see anyone else, but even though his Byakugan was temporarily sealed, he was certain that there were many ninjas secretly watching him.
"Your Highness, on behalf of the Mizukage, I propose to you the restoration of peace."
Although it was uncertain whether the daimyo of the Land of Fire before him was a stand-in, Ao's attitude remained very respectful.
Upon hearing Qing's words, Daimyo smiled noncommittally.
"Heh. Heh. Heh. If you want to end the war, you should go to Konoha. You've come to the wrong person. As long as you reach an agreement with Konoha, I will naturally approve it."
"Your Highness, war is a heavy burden for both our countries. However, Konoha is unlikely to negotiate with us in order to gain more benefits and power through war. Therefore, we hope that Your Highness can mediate between us."
Because he didn't know the true attitude of the Fire Country's daimyo, Ao's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, without revealing his true intentions.
The Fire Country Daimyo glanced at Ao and said slowly, "As long as the war ends at the current borders, I don't think Konoha will refuse."
According to the current boundaries?
Doesn't that mean the Land of Waves has fallen into your hands?!
Such a humiliating contract would be something even the Mizukage would have to carefully consider, let alone Ao, and wouldn't dare to agree to easily.
Therefore, Ao immediately refused: "The Land of Waves is extremely important to us, and we absolutely cannot let Konoha take control of it!"
The Fire Country Daimyo yawned boredly: "Alright, if it's just about arguing the details of the peace talks, you can talk to Konoha, talk to the officials, you don't need to come see me. Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
Ao looked around and saw that the guards around him showed no intention of leaving. He also knew that as a daimyo, the other party would not risk having a private conversation with him, a ninja, so he could only reveal the purpose of his trip.
"Your Highness, we hope to cooperate with you to strike at Konoha's power. In this way, we can gain control of the Land of Waves, you can better control the Land of Fire, and then we can end the war gracefully. Both of us will benefit."
Upon hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire flew into a rage: "You bastard, how dare you sow discord between me and Konoha! This is absolutely impossible!"
With a curse, the daimyo of the Land of Fire stood up and left without hesitation.
However, Qing glanced at the Fire Country Daimyo's back and then looked at the expressions of the people around him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
