Chapter 219: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 99

Kisame and Itachi are assigned to the Five-Tails jinchūriki of Iwa Village; the Immortals are assigned to the Seven-Tails jinchūriki of Takigakure.

As for the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.

Changmen decided to personally strike at Kumogakure.

This stirred a strange thought in Li Ang's mind: 'Will Cloud Village be the one getting bombed this time?'

After assigning the tasks, all members of Akatsuki dispelled the Illusory Light Body Technique.

Li Ang glanced at the scorpion beside him and said casually, 'Don't go soft when the time comes.'

In the original plot, he was killed precisely because he went soft—wonder if it'll be the same this time.

'Too much talk.'

As they spoke, the two hurried toward the location indicated in the intel, where the Sunagakure group was.

Amidst a sky of swirling yellow sand.

A man and a woman followed a boy with heavy dark circles under his eyes; behind them marched a sizable force of ninja.

Along the way, the man with purple makeup on his face muttered, 'Handa, how come we're suddenly having a Five Shinobi Summit?'

Handa beside him first glanced at the silent boy ahead, then slapped the back of his head: 'Idiot Kankuro, shut up.'

Kankuro rubbed his head and fell silent.

Silence was the tone of this unit—none knew whether the Kazekage might fly into a rage from bad mood.

But after a while, Kankuro couldn't help asking, 'Is it really wise for the two of us to come together?'

The moment he spoke, intense heat suddenly surged down from the sky.

The next instant, the surrounding yellow sand transformed into a massive shield above the heads of those on the ground.

Flames erupted in all directions; the temperature skyrocketed, making everyone sweat profusely.

Yet under the protection of the sand, they suffered no harm.

The sudden attack caused the Sunagakure ninja to look up—then a pale figure, eyes radiating faint golden light, appeared in midair.

At this sight, all realized what had happened.

'Ambush! Protect the Kazekage!'

But before the warning could fully ring out, black iron sand erupted from the ground, forming a triangular spear hurtling toward them.

'?!'

Just as the iron sand neared them, the yellow sand below seemed lifted by an invisible hand, then slammed violently into the black iron sand.

Boom—

Simultaneously, an old voice suddenly rang out: 'Sasori, after all these years, won't you come out and greet me?'

The attackers of the Sunagakure ninja were, of course, Li Ang and Sasori.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Ang involuntarily furrowed his brow.

Something's off—Sunagakure seems to have anticipated our arrival.

Before he could stop Sasori from revealing himself, the bulky Hiryūkaku appeared in the sight of the Sunagakure ninja.

A hoarse voice emerged from Hiryūkaku: 'Grandma.'

As the words were spoken, a woman covered in age spots slowly stepped forward from among the Sunagakure ninja.

Chiyo, Sasori's grandmother.

In midair, Li Ang watched the scene below, his expression gradually calming—he now understood his own situation.

Undoubtedly, the so-called Five Shinobi Summit was merely bait—a lure set by the Five Great Nations to catch Akatsuki.

As for how Akatsuki was exposed…

'Uchiha Itachi.'

The thought flashed through Li Ang's mind.

Of course he couldn't stand by while Akatsuki threatened Konoha and Uchiha Sasuke—once the Fourth Great Ninja War began, their fates would be uncertain.

As he pondered, vast ninja forces appeared from all directions, gradually surrounding the two.

Honestly, Li Ang could flee now if he wanted—he knew Sunagakure couldn't fly.

At that moment, Chiyo suddenly spoke: 'Might the unknown noble one above come down and rest a while?'

Hearing this, Li Ang suddenly laughed: 'Heh… you think you've got me cornered?'

As he spoke, crimson and azure energy gradually coated his entire body; his hair fluttered in the wind, radiating brilliant flames.

If he were still at the Second Tier, he might have fled.

But the key point is—

He was now at the Third Tier; it was the enemy who should be afraid—even if his 【Rabbit Bloodline】 profession was still Level One.

Li Ang looked down at the Sunagakure ninja and said, 'Sasori, if you want to fight this old woman one-on-one, I can create an opening for you—but afterward, you'll give me full details of your puppet techniques.'

'…Thank you.'

Sasori uttered a rare word of gratitude.

At this, Chiyo stared at Li Ang in midair, his terrifying energy signature causing her pupils to contract.

She never imagined her grandson's partner was this powerful—and worse, her vast experience had never recorded such a strong figure in the Ninja World.

Li Ang didn't know what Chiyo was thinking—he merely swiftly formed hand seals.

Summoning Technique!

With a puff of white smoke, three beautiful women appeared beside Li Ang—clearly the Three Snake Maidens of Ryūchi Cave.

The three snake maidens bowed respectfully and said, 'My lord Li Ang.'

'Reveal your true forms.'

'Yes.'

Just like the White Snake Sage, the three Snake Princesses' current human forms were likewise nothing more than disguises.

And as they shed their disguises, three grotesquely enormous giant serpents instantly appeared within the sight of the gathered Sand ninja.

At this moment, Li Ang stood atop Tagorihime's head with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at Gaara, who was surrounded on all sides by ninja, his expression utterly calm.

Let him weigh it out for himself—what level this Ninja World truly stands at.

Two more chapters this afternoon.

I'll update, update, update, update!
