Chakra poured out as she gathered all her strength. Even if she could only trap this wolf for a split second, she had to buy time for the children to escape!
Then— "Crackle."
A bolt of blue lightning flashed through the air.
It was too fast to even see.
Kurenai Yuhi had only finished half of her hand seals when the bolt of lightning struck her body.
"Ah—!"
She let out a short scream, her whole body convulsing violently. The Kunai fell from her hand, and her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming into a tree trunk three meters away with a "thud."
Blue electric arcs danced over her body, and her limbs shook uncontrollably.
She wanted to move.
But her body refused to obey.
The numbness from the lightning surged through her entire body; every muscle was spasming, and every nerve was screaming.
She struggled to stand up but could only lean against the tree trunk, gasping for air.
"Teacher Kurenai!!!"
Hyuga Hinata's exclamation rang out, and the three children instinctively started to rush over—
"Don't move."
Yang Jiu's voice remained calm.
The next second—
"Crackle-pop—!"
A dazzling blue lightning light erupted from his body! The electricity intertwined, instantly forming a lightning domain with a diameter of ten meters around them! Arcs of electricity leaped across the ground and cracked in the air, trapping the three children firmly in the center.
Inuzuka Kiba slammed on his brakes, nearly falling over. Akamaru was terrified and curled into a ball, whimpering.
Shino Aburame's bugs crawled back frantically, not daring to get anywhere near the jumping electric arcs.
Hyuga Hinata stood frozen in place, the blue lightning reflected in her white pupils, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
"This..."
Kurenai Yuhi leaned against the tree trunk, enduring the intense pain throughout her body, staring fixedly at the scene before her. Her pupils contracted violently, her face filled with horror and shock.
It was too terrifying.
She had seen Lightning Release Ninjas—Konoha's Kakashi Hatake, and even the Third Hokage were proficient in Lightning Release.
But those all required hand seals.
They required time.
They required the mobilization of Chakra.
Yet this wolf—from start to finish, it hadn't performed a single hand seal.
The lightning was like a part of its body; it used it when it wanted and retracted it when it wanted, and the speed was so fast that she couldn't react at all.
What was even more terrifying was the oppressive feeling. The moment the lightning domain formed, she clearly felt that—if this wolf wanted to, those electric arcs could instantly turn the three children into charred remains. But it didn't. It only trapped them.
Kurenai Yuhi gasped for air, her mind in chaos.
What kind of monster was this...
Yang Jiu looked down at the three children, Hyuga Hinata, and Kurenai Yuhi, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
Since Konoha Ninjas had come to Yufu Forest, he couldn't let them return and spread the news of this place.
Even though he now possessed Kage-level combat power, Konoha's strength was not something he could compare to at the moment.
Therefore, he could only keep them all here and make arrangements later.
Besides—with beauties like Kurenai Yuhi and Hyuga Hinata around, at least he would have something pleasant to look at. Otherwise, constantly facing these wolves, he was starting to doubt whether his sexual orientation would change.

The sudden system prompt made Yang Jiu's golden pupils narrow slightly.
Two choices.
He barely hesitated.
Choose one.
Become enemies with Konoha.
It wasn't because of impulse, but because—he knew too well what kind of nature Konoha had.
The current Konoha was ruled by the Third Hokage, appearing gentle and benevolent on the surface, but what about in the shadows?
Danzo Shimura.
That old schemer's Root organization specialized in doing the dirty work.
He would find ways to erase any existence that posed a threat, let alone a "non-human force" like the wolf race—in Danzo's eyes, summoning beasts should just be obedient summoning beasts. Daring to establish their own Ninja village? That was a threat.
And then there were those big clans in Konoha.
Would the Hyuga Clan tolerate the Byakugan falling into the hands of the wolf race?
Would the Inuzuka Clan allow their own Ninja dog heritage to be suppressed by the wolf race?
Would the Aburame Clan not have the parasitic insects inside Shino Aburame studied?
Once the news got out, what would come wouldn't be negotiation envoys, but Konoha's punitive army.
Not to mention, this forest was so close to Konoha.
For a Ninja, this distance was equivalent to being right at their doorstep.
He was very strong now, with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Silver Moon Thunder Wolf bloodline, he could easily defeat an elite Jonin.
But the wolf race couldn't.
Among the 150 Ninja wolves, only three were Chunin. Facing Konoha's all-out suppression, they were simply not enough.
Konoha had tens of thousands of Ninjas, had the Hyuga, Akimichi, and Nara clans, had the Third Hokage, a Kage-level powerhouse, and had Danzo and his gang of dogs hiding in the shadows.
Head-on confrontation? That would be suicide.
The only solution was—
Don't let the news get out.
Keep Kurenai Yuhi and the other three in this forest forever.
Yang Jiu's gaze turned deep.
He knew what this choice meant.
It meant a complete break with Konoha.
It meant that in the future, he would have to be constantly on guard against Konoha's assassinations, reconnaissance, and raids.
But it also meant—
The existence of the wolf race would remain a secret for the time being.
There was still time to develop.
There was still time to grow stronger.
By the time Konoha reacted, the wolf race would no longer be something they could easily manipulate.
Yang Jiu took a deep breath and focused his mind.
[Confirm Choice: Choice One]
[mission Accepted: Become enemies with Konoha]
As soon as he finished speaking—
[Ding—mission Completed]

[Ding—Level increased to Level 3]

The continuous system prompts exploded in his mind, and Yang Jiu's eyes instantly lit up, his golden pupils filled with the light of surprise.
This mission...
It was practically a gift!
Not only did it give EXP, points, and a building, but it also directly boosted him to Level 3!
He focused his mind, and the information about the two new abilities unfolded before his eyes—
