Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

There is no hope.

If Yekura is eliminated, the operation will fail. So what I need to do now is not to interfere. Anyway, I am neutral, and the Anbu should not get involved.

However, Yashamaru was still naive, or rather, he didn't understand human nature.

Your political literacy is too low; you simply don't understand the key point. You've already taken sides and supported Oierro, so your subsequent inaction is...

So you're thinking of distancing yourself from it?

Haha, how naive.

More accurately, it was stupid, foolish.

"Make your move. You can make your move now. While it's not that Yekura is incompetent, continuing like this will only lead to failure. Orochimaru will be in a difficult position to act against, as it would easily expose his identity..."

Bai Mu knew that the situation was indeed unfavorable to Ye Cang. Even if he said he should trust the other party, he couldn't trust them now. At the very least, he wanted to solve the problem.

Given the current situation, Bai Mu naturally made a decision.

"It can only be you."

Chapter 318 Esdeath Makes Her Move

Who's up?

Esdeath, Part 1.

This is the best choice.

Esdeath, of course, was the obvious choice.

Although it was just an ice clone, its power was extraordinary. Even if Esdeath didn't use her own ice power, it didn't mean she didn't have the power to destroy the ninja village.

For her, this was not difficult.

"Don't worry, I'll solve this in a simple way. No one here can beat me."

Esdeath could no longer contain herself and was about to unleash a bloody, primal carnage. She wanted to wipe them all out, including all the enemies…

They'll all die!

However, Bai Mu couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Killing her meant killing a few key people, and the rest didn't matter much, so he simply pinned her down.

"Remember, don't do anything reckless. Yekura is still useful. Don't let her become useless. Sunagakure can't be too weak, otherwise it's the same as being useless."

Bai Mu's reminder brought Esdeath to her senses a little more. She was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't be too flamboyant, but as long as she could kill him, that was fine.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Esdeath immediately made it clear that 09 was the key point.

How could I not know what I should do? Don't worry, I definitely know, I know it perfectly well. So when Bai Mu reminded me, I immediately gave an answer and repeatedly emphasized that I knew what to do.

Bai Mu didn't say much, but simply patted his shoulder, indicating that he could go on.

Esdeath, on the other hand, wrapped herself in a trench coat and robe, and then put on a hood, mask, and other protective gear, completely covering herself up, even putting gloves on her hands.

Not a single inch of skin was exposed except for the eyes, but even that was barely visible unless one looked very closely, thanks to the head covering and mask. The level of secrecy was truly remarkable…

Yes, no doubt about it, it's impossible for her identity to be discovered. Moreover, Esdeath doesn't even need to use her freezing abilities; she goes straight for physical combat and swordsmanship.

She was carrying a long sword, or perhaps a katana, a very common and unremarkable weapon. This made it impossible to investigate and there was absolutely no way to leak the information.

On this side of the battlefield, Oyero had almost no chance of winning. He was brutally beaten down by Chiyo and captured alive.

Having lost their fighting ability, they could only kneel on the ground and be subdued by the puppets.

Without Oyero, there were only a dozen or twenty trusted men left.

Even if you want to, you don't have the ability.

In the end, they all chose to surrender.

Seeing this, Chiyo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The most troublesome point was resolved. These people all needed to be taken alive to stabilize the First Battalion...

Well, we'll hold the trial later, otherwise things will definitely get messy. So we need to keep the news a secret and deal with the First Brigade first before dealing with Oyero and the others.

They can't die; they have to be alive. If they die, it'll be a real problem.

Just as Chiyo was lost in thought, Esdeath, who was wrapped up tightly, suddenly appeared behind Oyero. The katana in her hand pierced through Oyero's body, passing directly through his chest, and then twisted a few times to ensure that he was completely killed.

"The weak do not deserve to live!"

The sound was masked.

It's impossible to tell if it's a man or a woman.

After killing Oyero, Esdeath didn't stop; she vanished from the spot in an instant.

He reappeared in front of Oiero's group of confidants.

They killed them one by one, including their guards.

After all, they're here to eliminate any potential threats; shouldn't we kill them?

What's the point of keeping it?

Must kill!

When Esdeath suddenly appeared and swiftly killed Oyero and the others, Chiyo was stunned and couldn't quite process what she was seeing.

what happened?

Everything is gone. Is this appropriate?

Chiyo was somewhat dazed, completely unexpected that things would turn out this way, and there was clearly something wrong with this. What exactly was going on?

"Damn it, kill him!"

After a moment of confusion, Chiyo became enraged.

Who came from, daring to cause trouble here?

After her initial anger subsided, Chiyo realized that this was likely one of Yokura's people. She suddenly looked at Yokura, who was fighting her younger brother, and shouted sharply, "Yakura, is that one of your people?"

How would I know whose people I work for?

However, even Yekura herself didn't know who it was. At first, she thought it was Orochimaru, but she quickly realized that it could not possibly be Orochimaru.

But if it's not Orochimaru, then who is it again?

I don’t know, I really don’t know.

So, can we accept this?

Yecang didn't know either.

Seeing this, Esdeath communicated with Shiro through telepathy, but her killing spree did not stop; she continued to kill one person at a time, her attacks steady, accurate, and ruthless.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"To admit it, or not to admit it?"

Bai Mu was thinking, and replied as he thought, "Wait a little longer, let me think about it."

What to do?

To admit it or not to admit it?

Well, that's hard to say.

“I think we should just accept it. These people can’t be allowed to live, right? Especially Chiyo. We have to kill her, don’t you think? Keeping her around is just asking for trouble. Even if she has a high status, once we kill her all, Yekura will be the sole ruler of Sunagakure. It will be much easier for us to control her then.”

Since Bai Mu needed to think about it, Esdeath took the initiative and offered her suggestions frequently, even finding them quite good.

Bai Mu: "..."

You definitely want it to be like this.

But it's not my place to say.

For Bai Mu, this requires some thought.

"Let me think about it. The benefits of acknowledging or not acknowledging it are not a good decision," Bai Mu emphasized again.

Don't worry.

We really can't rush things.

Let me think about it!

"I think it's pretty simple. Who knows, my appearance and the commotion might change everything... Ah 703, damn it, did I get the outfit wrong? I should have gone for Akatsuki's."

Esdeath was disappointed, thinking she had made a mistake in her outfit. She should have dressed up as the Akatsuki, because with that outfit, she wouldn't have had to think so much.

Anyway, the Akatsuki organization is the one who has to take the blame.

Bai Mu: "Uh..."

You really know how to find someone to scapegoat.

It has to be said that Esdeath's move was alright; it wasn't wrong or incorrect, but rather made some sense. However, it was still just so-so, and it shouldn't be done that way.

"Forget it, just don't admit it. Admitting it will only cause trouble. It's best not to admit it."

How to decide?

No, that was Bai Mu's final decision.

So all you have to do is kill indiscriminately, but not too many. Your main targets are people like Oyero and Chiyo; just take them down.

"Okay, you said so."

Esdeath immediately became excited, as it meant that a series of bloody massacres could be carried out, although the number might not be large.

But killing key figures is more satisfying, while killing minor enemies is less interesting, so...

"Can Chiyo kill him?"

She asked to confirm whether it was possible.

“Kill her, she’s a stubborn one. Kill her, but Ebizo can stay. We need to leave Chiyo with some trouble…”

"People change. Fear can suddenly make someone scared, but once they reach a high position and have power, things change."
