"Yes, really. Your temperament is just like your father's. Straightforward and never beating around the bush. He's definitely your son!" Looking at the Fourth Raikage, Tianqi nodded repeatedly. At this moment, the figures of the two Raikages overlapped, and he seemed to see the figure of the Third Raikage from the past.
"You still dare to say that? Are you trying to force me to throw you out?!" Ai said, reaching out to grab Tian Qi.
However, just as he was about to catch Tianqi, Tianqi quickly reached out and grabbed Ai's hand.
The Fourth Raikage, A, saw his hand being grabbed by this person. He tried to move forward with all his might, but it was as if there was a towering mountain in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move forward even half a step. The person in front of him always looked at him with a smile.
Seeing that Abby was running out of strength and was about to use her chakra, Tianqi kindly reminded her, "Hehe, I'm warning you not to use your chakra, otherwise I can't guarantee you'll survive!"
"You dare threaten me? I hate being threatened the most!" Ai thought Tianqi was threatening him, and regardless of Tianqi's reminder, he immediately mobilized his chakra.
"Ah!!!" Just as the Lightning Release Armor began to cover him, A knelt down in pain as two palm-sized insect-shaped patterns bulged out on his chest.
"Lord Raikage!" Seeing the Fourth Raikage suddenly kneel down in pain, Amai immediately ran over. He thought the person in front of him had done something, but when he saw the insect-shaped pattern, he was completely stunned.
"This is the same as Karai... Raikage-sama, how come you also know this...?"
"I told you not to be impulsive, now do you regret it?" Tian Qi said calmly, standing in front of Ai. As he spoke, he bent down to examine the insect.
"Stop! What do you want to do?" Amai looked at the person in front of her with a wary expression. Raikage's identity was too important. Now that he was injured, she couldn't let outsiders see him casually.
"Hehe, don't worry, I mean no harm, I just want to check on his physical condition!"
"Why should I believe you? Lord Raikage is now incapacitated. What are you planning to do..."
"If I really wanted to do something, do you think you could stop me? Am I right, Fourth Raikage!"
Hearing this, and recalling the feeling of being blocked by a towering mountain just now, the Fourth Raikage, A, said calmly, "Amayi, forget it. Let him come and take a look. With his strength, you have no chance of winning!"
"Lord Raikage, this won't do! I'm responsible for your safety. How can we let such a stranger of unknown origin..."
"Enough, Amai! I'm the Raikage! Don't you listen to me?!" After yelling at Amai, Ai looked at the person in front of her and said, "You don't seem like one of those despicable people. You wouldn't do something as underhanded as ambushing someone, would you?"
"Of course not. If I wanted to kill you, I would do it honorably and fair. I would strike when you are sick and unable to fight. I would never do such a despicable thing!" Tian Qi nodded and answered with great certainty.
"Lord Raikage, you can't believe it! Lady Tsunade is right here, we should go..."
"No need, Amai. Let him take a look. If it really doesn't work, then we'll go find Tsunade!"
Amai was interrupted by the Fourth Raikage, A, who was enduring the pain, before he could finish speaking. For some reason, he had a feeling that this person was unusual, and his intuition was always very accurate.
"Lord Raikage... well, alright!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade Raikage, Amai could only sigh and give up trying to convince him.
After obtaining their consent, Tianqi bent down and began examining the worm-shaped protrusion on Ai's chest, his hands radiating green healing chakra.
After examining the situation and understanding the problem, Tian Qi said calmly, "These are the exploding bugs of the Xuanyuan Clan, the ninja hunters. It seems you've been dealing with the Xuanyuan Clan, haven't you?"
"Yes, I did fight against the Xuanyuan Clan before!" Seeing that the other party accurately identified it as the Xuanyuan Clan's Exploding Insect, Ai nodded in confirmation.
"No wonder the Xuanyuan Clan was loitering around here. They were waiting for the worms inside you to flare up. They really have guts to hunt down Raikage and his gang!"
"The Xuanyuan Clan is nearby? You mean they didn't leave, but are lying in ambush somewhere around here?" Ai was also surprised when she heard Tian Qi's words.
"They were indeed lying in ambush nearby, but they were unlucky to run into me. I spotted them and wiped them all out!"
Hearing that Xuanyuan Zhong had been completely wiped out by this person, Ai was somewhat surprised but also relieved. Since this person was able to kill Xuanyuan Zhong, he must be a Shadow-level expert. Such an expert would not resort to despicable means like taking advantage of someone's illness to kill them. Ai had no doubt about whether Xuanyuan Zhong had been killed. He could sense that the person in front of him was very strong, at least as strong as himself.
"Then, sir, since you know that this is the Xuanyuan Clan's Exploding Insect, do you have a way to cure Lord Raikage?" Seeing that the person in front of her not only knew what this thing was, but also killed the person who used it, Amai immediately asked with a respectful expression.
"Since I know this, of course I have a way to solve it, but..."
"But what?"
"But why should I help you? You know I don't know you at all!" Tian Qi looked at the two people in front of him with a wicked grin.
"This...this..."
"Just tell me how much you want!" Looking at the man in front of him, Ai knew perfectly well that this guy wanted payment, so he immediately asked about the price.
"Hey, talking about money is so vulgar. In our family, we don't talk about money, we only talk about fate. When we talk about yuan, we only talk about fifty million yuan!" Tianqi held up five fingers and waved them in front of Ai.
Upon hearing the number fifty million, Ai's lips twitched repeatedly, whether from being frightened by the number or from the pain, it was unclear.
“Fifty million? Why don’t you just rob someone? No way, no way! That’s way too much. A few million is something to consider, but fifty million is absolutely out of the question!” Amai shook her head and refused repeatedly.
"Hehe, not a penny less than fifty million. Besides, I don't believe the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure isn't worth fifty million. Fifty million for the life of a Kage, this deal is worth it no matter how you look at it, right, Fourth Raikage?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Ai finally nodded.
"Fine, fifty million it is, but you also need to help my companions deal with these damned bugs."
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. I only offered this 50 million because of your father, the third Raikage. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have given a handout even for hundreds of millions. You should think about your own future!" Tian Qi chuckled. A mere 50 million to save two people? Dream on.
