Chương 284: Ino: Do ​​you understand the value of childhood sweethearts?

"That's Teacher Hongdou, and there's another person—Yang Cheng!"

"It's Harumaru! But why is Harumaru fighting against Anko-sensei?!"

Since Ino and the others had seen Anko's cursed seal form before, they recognized Anko in the air at a glance.

Ino and the others were initially quite happy about Anko's arrival, but when they saw another figure fighting with Anko, they were completely stunned.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As Hongdou spat out a giant fire dragon formed from flames, Yang Cheng, who was opposite her, also reached out and formed a hand seal.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Water Release counters Fire Release, and with the surrounding sea and the misty environment, Anko's Fire Release is clearly far weaker than Yang Cheng's Water Release.

The moment the fire dragon and the water dragon collided in the air, the fire dragon was almost instantly extinguished by the ferocious water dragon, and a large amount of water vapor enveloped the sky. The next second, Red Bean's body was also impacted by the greatly reduced water flow and was knocked down from the sky!

As a huge wave surged across the sea, Akaguni Armor and Kenmei, who were watching the battle from the sea, were also extremely excited.

To be honest, it had to be their boss who took action personally!

Those who had fought against Mitarashi Anko of Konoha knew better than anyone how strong she was.

The fact that the opponent could fight four opponents alone and still suppress them shows how strong he is. Compared to the previous Kirigakure Jonin, the latter were simply trash.

But even if the other side is strong, so what? Aren't they still being easily beaten by the big boss behind them?

Seeing Yang Cheng slowly descend from the sky, Akakon Kai and Kenmei both put their sycophantic nature to the extreme, rushing to Yang Cheng and showering him with flattery.

"As expected of Lord Yangcheng, you defeated Konoha's elite Jonin in just a few moves. I have the utmost respect for your strength!"

Lord Yangcheng, as you instructed, we have successfully seized the deposit from the Sea Kingdom.

However, there is a traitor among us. Yuhuo is someone you trust deeply, Lord Yangcheng, but now she is protecting those few Konoha ninjas.

"Yang Cheng, tell me now, what exactly is going on!"

Why did you attack Teacher Hongdou? And judging from the tone of these people, it seems you also want to kill us all?

Seeing Yang Cheng make his appearance, the red copper armored man, while taking credit, also pointed at the fishing lights and tattled on them.

However, he had only spoken halfway when he saw one of the young genin kids from Konoha, a little girl with long yellow hair, interrupt him.

He even walked up to them without any fear, stared at "Lord Yangcheng" beside him, and questioned him.

For some reason, upon witnessing this Konoha genin's arrogant and self-serving behavior, Akagiri Kai felt not anger, but a chill running down his spine.

Glancing at the fishing lights not far away, and then at the arrogant Konoha girl in front of them, Akaguni Armor and Kenmei felt a strange sense of unease rising in their hearts.

"Ino, it's been a long time! How are Aunt Rino and Uncle Inoichi doing?"

Sure enough, when he heard Yang Cheng greet Ino with a friendly expression, Akakon Kai was instantly paralyzed with fear.

Even a complete idiot can see now that their backer, "Lord Yangcheng," has an extraordinary relationship with this Konoha genin!

And they were just tattling on each other, and even tried to kill each other before—weren't they just asking for trouble?

Naruto and Sakura were quite surprised when they saw Yang Cheng.

Because they never expected that the person behind this plot to steal the deposit from the Sea Kingdom was actually their former comrade Yang Cheng.

Sakura had heard that Sasuke's personality had changed a lot since he received Orochimaru's cursed seal.

So when Sakura saw Yang Cheng knock Anko away, she was worried that because Yang Cheng was now with Orochimaru, he was no longer the Yang Cheng they knew.

Originally, she wanted to stop her friend from going forward, but by the time she realized what was happening, Ino had already walked up to Yang Cheng in a nonchalant manner, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Yang Cheng, questioning him in her usual tone.

Sakura's heart was in her throat, fearing that Yang Cheng, whose personality had changed, would hurt her best friend.

However, when she heard Yang Cheng speak, Sakura breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It's not hard to tell from Yang Cheng's tone and expression that his attitude towards Ino hasn't changed much compared to before.

"Since you left, Mom sometimes secretly wipes away tears when she's alone in the flower shop, and Dad also sighs from time to time."

And Teacher Hongdou has been searching for news of you every day since you left, and this is how you treat your mentor!

As Ino spoke, she reached out and grabbed Yosei's ear, speaking in a lecturing tone.

Upon witnessing this scene, Akakon Kai and Kenmei, who were not far away, felt as if they wanted to die.

They had previously held onto a sliver of hope, believing that the other party was merely a friend of Lord Yangcheng from his time in Konoha.

But now, seeing Ino and Harumaru's close interaction, if you say they're just ordinary friends, they'd rather believe Orochimaru is actually a good person!

"Ino, there are some things that are hard for me to explain to you, but as long as you understand, no matter what happens, you, Aunt Rino, and Teacher Anko are the most important people to me, and I will never hurt you."

When Ino heard Yang Cheng say that she was the most important person to him, even though she wasn't the only one, she still blushed deeply at Yang Cheng's statement.

"Yang Cheng, although I don't know why you wanted to steal the deposit from the Sea Kingdom."

But come back to Konoha with us. With Dad and Anko-sensei pleading on your behalf, Lady Tsunade will definitely find a way to help you handle the aftermath.

Ino had previously mentioned that her parents were heartbroken after Yosei was taken away by Orochimaru, but she didn't mention that she herself hadn't been doing much better lately.

Compared to Yamanaka Inoichi and the others, who at least knew that Yosei was an undercover agent, Ino always believed that Yosei was truly forcibly kidnapped by Orochimaru.

"Ino, I'm sorry, I can't go back with you like this, and that's why I fought with Anko-sensei—" Just as Ino was about to ask Yosei why, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then everything went black before her eyes, and her consciousness gradually faded.

"Yang Cheng, don't go, I miss you so much—come back with me—" After knocking Ino unconscious, Yu Cheng carried her to Naruto and the others, saying, "I'm leaving Ino in your care. Anko-sensei should be alright too; she just fainted due to the side effects of the cursed seal."

After doing all this, Yang Cheng gave Yu Huo and the others a wink, and the others, including Chi Tong Kai, quickly took the deposit from the Sea Kingdom and followed Yang Cheng to retreat.
