"Don't ignore me! Didn't you hear what I just said? Hand over Orochimaru, and we won't hold you accountable. Otherwise, there's no point in having your hot spring resort."

The Fourth Raikage said angrily.

After all, he was Lei Ying, and everyone had shown him respect in the past. It was inevitable that Yi Shuihan's disregard for him would make him feel angry.

Apart from Yi Shuihan's group, the other ninjas didn't find anything wrong with these words; in fact, they felt that the Raikage's reaction was normal.

Rao looked at the Fourth Raikage with a strange expression, and felt a deep sense of sympathy for him, especially when he noticed that Yi Shuihan's eyes were not right.

"hehe."

The only response the Fourth Raikage gave was these two words. Although he didn't know what Yi Shuihan meant, he felt a strange anger rising within him.

"Don't you know that Orochimaru is under my protection? Or do you think I'm bullying you? If so, then come on, let's face each other head-on. As long as you can win, I'll do as you say!"

"hate?"

"Uh, you don't understand, huh? Sigh, talking to someone with such low intelligence is exhausting. Fine, I'll explain it even more simply." He sounded helpless. "Who do you think you are? I don't need to listen to you. Bring it on if you dare!"

"Fight if you don't accept it!"

"...Come and fight!"

"...Come and fight!"

"……war!"

The sound echoed, and as soon as he said it, the allied forces of the four ninja villages stared at Yi Shuihan in disbelief. This attitude was just too arrogant.

The onlookers nearby also felt that Yi Shuihan's words were very domineering, and they all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

"The hot spring owner is so domineering, he declared war right away. I admire no one but him in my life!"

"No problem. I've been annoyed by these outsiders for a long time. They're so arrogant in Konoha. If I didn't have this disease that prevents me from fighting with people from other villages, I would have taught them a lesson long ago. What Yi said is so satisfying."

Chapter 466, I'll Kill You Ten Times

"I guess you could say that's just like him? That's definitely a statement that fits his personality!"

In the Hokage Building, in the Hokage's office, a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials were all intently watching the crystal ball on the table, which displayed the location of the hot spring resort.

The Telescope Technique, a secret technique developed by the Third Hokage, a man with a penchant for esoteric interests, allows him to see everything happening in Konoha without leaving his house. He usually uses it to check on the hot springs and whether each household has taken a bath, changed clothes, or left their curtains drawn.

The Third Hokage once used this ninjutsu to spy on the Myriad Worlds Hot Spring, but was discovered by Yi Shuihan and warned. After that, he never dared to spy again. If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage's request, he wouldn't have used this ninjutsu today.

After years of improvements, this telescope can now transmit some sound, though it certainly can't compare to being there in person, it's still invaluable.

Faced with Yi Shuihan's shocking statement, the Fourth Raikage's face twisted in disbelief. This was blatant provocation! If he didn't respond, where would he put his old face?

No need for words, just take action.

Lightning flashed, Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated.

However, what appeared to be an awe-inspiring and powerful move to an ordinary person was met with a disdainful look from Yi Shuihan.

"Does your Cloud Village have no other ninjutsu, or is it that every Kage must know this technique to inherit the position of Kage?"

The Fourth Raikage, whose body had disappeared from the sight of ordinary people, was forced to reappear for a moment halfway through his journey because of these words before continuing to conceal himself.

"I don't even have the will to fight you, sigh."

With a single finger blocking the Fourth Raikage's fist, Yi Shuihan looked disappointed. The Fourth Raikage's strength was indeed impressive; his speed and power were stronger than the Third Raikage's, whom he had fought before. But even if he was stronger, there was no difference in Yi Shuihan's eyes. A 1cm ant and a 12cm ant were truly indistinguishable.

Seemingly provoked a bit too much by Yi Shuihan, the Fourth Raikage's body surged with lightning, shooting backward like the tail flame of a rocket, blowing away a large section of the ground.

"Interesting? But it's not enough."

Yi Shuihan's eyes lit up. This change had increased the power of the Fourth Raikage by about 2 times. Normally, no one could adapt to such a change suddenly and would inevitably be affected. Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan reacted accordingly the moment he sensed this power.

The Fourth Raikage stared in horror at Yi Shuihan. He was startled that Yi Shuihan had blocked his attack with a single finger. However, considering that Yi Shuihan possessed many peculiar ninjutsu, perhaps the opponent had concentrated all his strength into his finger.

Later, his lightning release accelerated and burst forth, temporarily increasing his speed and power. He thought that Yi Shuihan would definitely not have an easy time and might even be able to defeat Yi Shuihan directly, but unexpectedly, it had no effect at all.

"I'm not in a particularly good mood today because of you, so I'll just kill you 10 times."

"Did I hear that right? He said he wanted to kill Lord Raikage ten times?"

"It must be wrong, right? How could someone kill 10 times?"

No one believed what Yi Shuihan said, after all, it all seemed too illogical.

Ignoring what others thought, Yi Shuihan slowly raised her other hand, and then...

"puff"

He plunged his hand into the Fourth Raikage's chest, then pulled...

"Plop...Plop..."

In an instant, a bright red heart appeared in his hand, enveloped in a layer of white light, and its beating could be clearly seen.

At the level of the Raikage, even if his heart were removed, he wouldn't die immediately; he would last for at least a few minutes. Therefore, the Fourth Raikage stared wide-eyed at his own heart in Yi Shuihan's hand, unable to utter a word.

The surrounding area fell silent, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan, listening to the beating of his heart. They felt that the frequency of his heartbeat was so similar to their own, giving them a feeling of suffocation.

"If you didn't have a heart, wouldn't you say you died once?"

Yi Shuihan spoke calmly, as if stating a trivial fact.

Under Yi Shuihan's somewhat strange gaze, the Fourth Raikage nodded as if possessed, his mind blank.

"Brother! Yi Shuihan, how dare you kill my brother! I'll make you die... Ah!"

After a brief silence, someone finally reacted. Killer Bee, the second strongest ninja in Kumogakure and the perfect Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, had even stopped talking and singing. With red eyes, he rushed over.

"Do you want to die too?"

Yi Shuihan merely glanced at Killer Bee indifferently, and Killer Bee froze on the spot, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan, as if he had been scared out of his wits.

"Xiao Ba, let me go! I must avenge my brother!"

In Killer Bee's inner world, his body was tightly bound by the eight-tailed octopus's tentacles. His expression was somewhat hysterical, and his veins were bulging all over his body, clearly indicating that he was disregarding everything.

"No, you'll die. You felt it too, didn't you? That abyss-like gap, even I felt so insignificant under that power. Even the Sage of Six Paths never gave me this feeling. If he wanted to, killing me would be a piece of cake. Calm down. He said he would kill your older brother 10 times, and this is only the first time. Your older brother isn't dead yet!"

This was just to comfort Killer Bee. Even with his heart ripped out, there was no way he could survive. Anyway, the Eight-Tails wouldn't believe it. The Fourth Raikage wasn't a Tailed Beast; he was made of chakra.

But you know what? Perhaps those words really did have an effect. Killer Bee's resistance weakened, and he ended up standing there blankly, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.

"Everyone, look carefully. This is the first time. The next one will be the second time, but before that, I'll bring him back to life first."

Yi Shuihan spoke slowly and deliberately, and at the same time, he quickly put his heart back into Lei Ying's body.

"It's not over yet!"

Seeing the wound still bleeding profusely, Yi Shuihan snapped his fingers, and a beam of emerald light instantly enveloped the Raikage. Then, his wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than 10 seconds, the Fourth Raikage reappeared, completely unharmed from before.

The audience was completely dumbfounded. This was like something out of a myth! The heart was taken out, the person wasn't dead, and after it was put back in, the person could still work. The horrific wound healed completely in a short time.

Chapter 467, Expression in Place

Yi Shuihan was very satisfied with everyone's expressions. This seemingly amazing effect was actually not particularly difficult for him. Not to mention the heart removal, anyone with a little bit of hand strength could easily do it.

The reason why the heart can continue to beat for a while after being exposed is that, in general, if a heart is suddenly taken out, it will continue to beat for a few more times. However, Yi Shuihan simply supplied the heart with a little energy to keep it fresh.

The subsequent placement of the heart is also extremely simple; at most, you just need to be careful not to place it haphazardly.

As for the most exciting part, restoring the Fourth Raikage's injuries, Yi Shuihan explained that it was actually a very magical secret technique. Yi Shuihan simply stimulated the Fourth Raikage's physical potential, overdrawing his life force to achieve the effect of rapid cell division and repair.

It's estimated that the Fourth Raikage lost about three years of his life in that incident. This is because his heart was removed from his body for a very short time. If it had been a few minutes longer, it could have taken several more years.

With such a secret technique, Yi Shuihan should theoretically be immune to any attack, since he can recover anyway, and he has a long lifespan!

However, one point should not be overlooked: the cost is actually greater than it appears. After all, if you are really injured like this, you are very likely to continue fighting, and there will be no time for you to recover. Moreover, the longer it takes, the more life force will be consumed to recover.

Moreover, this secret technique only works if vital organs such as the heart of someone like the Fourth Raikage are intact. If the heart has stopped beating, the technique is useless.

This is also why Yi Shuihan was interested in Hidan's immortality; after all, Hidan's heart could be shattered into pieces and he still wouldn't die.

"Isn't it amazing? You might think that what happened just now was just an illusion. Now I'll do it again. Watch carefully and see if this is an illusion."

Before everyone could fully recover from the shock, and before Killer Bee could even show a joyful smile, Yi Shuihan made his move again.

The exact same methods, the exact same consequences, yet the reaction was even more unbelievable than the first time.

"And...and gave your heart again..."

"How terrifying! I must never mess with him again. If I mess with other people, I'll die once, but with him, I might get killed countless times!"

"If it were me, I would rather die than be killed like this in front of everyone. The Fourth Raikage is too pitiful."

"Even I, one of my own, can't stand it anymore. If I may, I'd like to advise Lord Yi, could you... could you perform a few dozen more times? Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I lost my composure, I just couldn't help it."

The heart was returned to the Fourth Raikage's body. When the Fourth Raikage recovered his body this time, there were noticeable wrinkles on his face. Such a big change could not be hidden.

The two incidents combined resulted in a loss of 5 or 6 years of lifespan, so such a significant change is to be expected.

"What happened to him? He looks much older."

"Oh, it wasn't my imagination after all. He really does look a lot older, and the wrinkles on his face are so deep."

"I knew it, how could he recover from his injuries so quickly? He must have overdrawn his life force."

"That's the truth, it's pretty much exactly right."

The general public is quite intelligent; they figured out the truth in a short time.

"Everyone saw it clearly this time. If you hadn't, I..."

Before Yi Shuihan could finish speaking, the Fourth Raikage finally avoided making the same mistake again and ran away, fleeing in such a panic that he forgot to even use his ninjutsu.

Even the Fourth Raikage, a tough guy, remained calm after losing his arm in the original story, but now he's completely defeated by Yi Shuihan.

There's nothing you can do about it, you can't blame him. Have you ever seen someone take your heart out and play with it, twice in a row, and then continue doing it? It's already a miracle he wasn't driven crazy.

"This is only the second time. Don't take any chances until it's over. Come back!"

"Who would come back? Can't I just ignore this? Orochimaru my ass! I don't believe he can really change the world. Compared to Orochimaru, this hot spring owner is clearly someone we need to be more careful about!"

The Fourth Raikage didn't feel any power descending upon him, so he wasn't too alarmed and continued running. Unfortunately, he completely failed to notice the way others were looking at him.

"Huh? What's going on? Why does it feel like we're getting further and further away the more we run?"

Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage was taken aback and noticed something amiss. He was clearly running towards the direction of the Cloud Village ninjas, but the more he ran, the further away he got.

"I...I was running backwards? What happened?!"

Finally, the Fourth Raikage looked down at himself and discovered the truth of everything, his mind going blank once again.

Panic, bewilderment, innocence—a variety of expressions played out on the Fourth Raikage's face, making it a spectacular facial drama worthy of being turned into a meme.

"How's it going to be? You're warmer now, aren't you? Let's continue."

If people didn't know what Yi Shuihan was going to do next, they would probably really think that Yi Shuihan was concerned about the Fourth Raikage.

"What exactly do you want? Can't I just quit?"

A tough guy was turned into a submissive character, and you have to admit, his aggrieved expression and somewhat awkward voice are definitely a favorite of certain enthusiasts!

“I am an honest and trustworthy person. If I say I will kill you 10 times, I mean it. No less, no more. Even if you commit suicide during this period, I will save you. Don’t have any illusions. If you commit suicide once, it will not be counted in my 10 count.”

Yi Shuihan looked at the Fourth Raikage with suspicion, as if he were really guarding against the Fourth Raikage's suicide, which almost made the Fourth Raikage cry.

Who wants to commit suicide?! Brother, can you be less manipulative and more sincere? Why is it so hard to be a person?!

"Then hurry up."

Realizing he couldn't change anything, the Fourth Raikage finally resigned himself to his fate, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan.

“I don’t like your reaction. It makes it seem like I’m forcing you. Please cooperate a bit, make the right expression. Show the fear of death, and the desire to live amidst that fear. If you don’t do it right the first time, I won’t count this as one of the ten.”

Chapter 468, Come, let me help you complete your life.

Yi Shuihan's words completely broke the Fourth Raikage, who cursed inwardly.

The Fourth Raikage swore on the last few decades of his life that he had never imagined someone could be so shameless as to want to kill him and then expect him to cooperate.

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage was actually a thousand times unwilling in his heart, but unfortunately, his body reacted more directly.

His previously numb expression turned into panic, and his eyes were filled with pleading.

"Okay, not bad, you barely passed. That's enough for this time. Next time, you need to improve, or you know the consequences."

The process was repeated once again, and this time, the Fourth Raikage finally had a few strands of white hair on his head, which made everyone around him sigh with emotion.

However, although everyone sympathized with the Fourth Raikage, no one actually dared to stand up and speak out. Even those from the Hidden Cloud Village were surprisingly silent, clearly afraid of Yi Shuihan. They didn't even dare to look Yi Shuihan in the eye.

Killer Bee, the only one who dared to confront Yi Shuihan, was now very quiet. He looked at his elder brother with a pained expression, wanting to save people, but knowing the gap between him and Yi Shuihan, he ultimately did not take action.
