Chapter 121: Damaged Explosive Tags
"Is this guy an idiot or what?"
kinkaku froze on the spot. Ginkaku had already pulled the wooden stopper from the red gourd, but when Li Jiexuan stepped in front of him like that, he was forced to shove it back in again.
"Zhenying, what are you doing!?"
Moye hurried over and dragged Li Jiexuan back…
kinkaku and Ginkaku clenched their teeth, but still endured it, consoling themselves inwardly: He's my underling. I picked him. I picked him!
After calming themselves slightly, kinkaku and Ginkaku exchanged a look in midair. The tacit understanding of twins made them raise the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools at the same time.
We've confirmed it through our eyes—I've met the right people~~
Five seconds later, we move together!
Seeing this, Li Jiexuan couldn't help clenching his fists. That idiot Second Hokage—why hasn't he noticed yet!?
If he weren't afraid of taking the first wave of kinkaku and Ginkaku's ultimate moves head-on, Li Jiexuan would really have liked to go up there and slap Tobirama twice across the face.
Gritting his teeth, Li Jiexuan picked up another piece of cake and blocked kinkaku again. "Lord kinkaku, this cake is really delicious. Would you like a piece?"
"This person is definitely an idiot."
kinkaku confirmed it—and further confirmed that not only was this person stupid, he was also a glutton.
"Take him away and tie him up!"
kinkaku ground his teeth as he put the lid back on the Amber Purifying Jar for the second time.
"Zhenying is sick today—his brain isn't working right," Moye hurriedly said as he dragged Li Jiexuan away. Sure enough, he pulled out a rope and tied him up.
"Phew~~"
The whole world finally became quiet!
kinkaku and Ginkaku both let out long breaths and exchanged smiles. Once this is over, we're definitely killing that Zhenying!
"Zhenying, have you lost your mind?" Moye looked like he was about to go crazy himself. "Do you have any idea how important today is? Can you please worry less for once?"
Li Jiexuan smiled bitterly in helplessness. He didn't want this either—who could have expected Senju Tobirama and the Raikage to be this slow to react, still not snapping out of it even now?
"One more time!"
kinkaku and Ginkaku's gazes met in the air as they simultaneously opened the lids of the ninja tools in their hands…
"Damn it, looks like I can only forcibly stop them!" Just as Li Jiexuan was about to break free from the ropes, a hand suddenly grabbed him.
"Boss Zhenying, no need to rush!"
It was Yamada Xunzhen standing in front of Li Jiexuan. There seemed to be starlight flickering in his eyes. "What's obscuring the truth… may simply be Konoha itself."
"What?"
Li Jiexuan froze for a moment. After calming down, he realized that both Senju Tobirama and the Raikage had slightly tensed bodies.
"So they've already noticed?"
Yamada Xunzhen sighed. "Even if they've noticed, as long as nothing has actually happened, people in their position can't make a move in advance."
So that's how it was!
kinkaku and Ginkaku were high-ranking figures among the Cloud ninja. Even if their rebellious intentions were discovered ahead of time, as long as nothing had happened and there was no evidence, there was no way to act against them…
Li Jiexuan nodded lightly, but soon raised his eyebrows again, pondering inwardly. This Yamada Xunzhen seems a bit unusual!
Just who exactly is he?
As Li Jiexuan was still wondering, kinkaku and Ginkaku suddenly roared, "A, Senju Tobirama—I call your name, do you dare answer!?"
"Idiot!"
The Raikage and Tobirama looked at kinkaku and Ginkaku as if they were looking at idiots. "Put down the bottle in your hand before you talk to me!"
Realizing they had been humiliated, kinkaku and Ginkaku could no longer hold back. Slamming the table, they stood up. "Move!"
As soon as the words fell, the explosive tags in the adjacent room detonated with a thunderous blast. kinkaku and Ginkaku burst into laughter at Senju Tobirama. "Tobirama, all your subordinates are dead now. You should go down and join them!"
However, before the words had fully faded…
"Tobirama-sama!"
A Konoha chūnin crawled out of the rubble, suffering only minor injuries.
kinkaku choked for a moment, then forced a smile. "Your luck is pretty good, but—"
"Tobirama-sama!" Another Konoha chūnin emerged from the ruins.
This time, the kinkaku–Ginkaku brothers were completely stunned. Immediately after, Konoha's ninja began crawling out of the rubble one after another, like a string of firecrackers…
After standing there in a daze for a long while, kinkaku gritted his teeth and roared at Moye, "Moye, what the hell is going on!? Didn't you say everything was taken care of?"
Moye scratched his head in confusion. "That shouldn't be right. There should've been explosive tags under every table…"
At that moment, the first Konoha chūnin to crawl out pulled out a damaged explosive tag missing all four corners, his face full of confusion. "Hokage-sama, there was a damaged explosive tag under each of our tables!"
"Damaged explosive tags!?"
Both kinkaku and Moye widened their eyes.
Li Jiexuan stepped forward, smiling sheepishly. "I thought it would look better if the four corners were removed!"
"..."
kinkaku roared through clenched teeth, "I'll kill you!"
