Chapter 346

In the fierce battle, Li An gradually found himself fell into a predicament. Sasuke, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the people constantly joining the fight around him left him somewhat overwhelmed. But he did not give up; in his heart he held only one belief: to carry the secret manual to safety and leave.

Suddenly, Li An thought of a way. He used the system to analyze the weaknesses in the surrounding environment, then concentrated his strength and launched a fierce attack in one direction. The crowd, drawn by his assault, surged toward that direction.

Li An took the opportunity to turn and run in another direction. He used the complex terrain of the streets to skillfully evade the crowd's pursuit.

Sasuke and the others realized they had been tricked by Li An and immediately gave chase. But Li An has already disappeared at the end of the street.

"Damn it, he got away," Sasuke shouted angrily, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Tsunade looked toward the direction Li An had vanished, her brows tightly furrowed. "This kid is not simple," she thought to herself.

Orochimaru merely gave a cold smile. "Interesting, truly interesting. We shall see." With that, his figure also vanished into the darkness.

Li An ran desperately through the alley, his heartbeat accelerating rapidly. He knew that although he had temporarily shaken off the crowd's pursuit, the danger had not been removed. He must find a safe place as soon as possible to thoroughly study this ninjutsu secret manual and improve his strength.

The trading market of Konoha Village has always been a bustling place, but at this moment, it was permeated with a bone-chilling tension. Amidst the thronging crowd, everyone's eyes held a peculiar meaning, as if waiting for a storm to descend. Li An, this mysterious man who had traveled through, was carefully weaving through the crowd, tightly clutching in his arms the ninjutsu secret manual that carried countless secrets and power.

Li An's eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly; every slightest movement could catch his attention. He knew deeply that this secret manual had become a piece of fat in everyone's eyes, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him; if he relaxed even slightly, he would fall into a place of no return. Sasuke, that proud and powerful Konoha Village ninja, was now standing in a corner not far away, his gaze cold and sharp, staring tightly at Li An as if a leopard poised to spring, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

"Hmph, this outsider actually obtained such a precious ninjutsu secret manual," Sasuke thought to himself. "This manual should belong to someone with true strength; I want to see how long he can hold out before me." He clenched his fist slightly, emitting a strong killing intent from his body.

Li An felt Sasuke's gaze like a thorn in his back and couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart. He quickened his pace, trying to find a safe escape route in this chaotic trading market. However, the surrounding crowd seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally blocking his path; every step he took appeared exceptionally difficult.

"Do not panic; must stay calm," Li An kept telling himself in his heart. "Although all these people have designs on the secret manual, they dare not act rashly; after all, this is Konoha Village's trading market, and they still need to have some reservations." He took a deep breath, striving to restore his heartbeat to normal.

Just then, suddenly, a group of small henchmen rushed out from all directions, weapons in hand, faces grotesque, and they lunged madly at Li An. These small henchmen were obviously acting on someone's orders, attempting to snatch the secret manual from Li An's arms amidst the chaos.
