Chapter 131

~7 min read 1,310 words

Late at night, inside the Sand Ninja camp.

The Silver-Haired Girl had various medicinal herbs spread out before her, trying to develop a corresponding Antidote.

She researched for a whole day, yet gained nothing.

She was horrified to discover that, let alone producing an Antidote, she couldn't even discern the exact components of this Poison.

She spent an entire day, and still had no clue.

"How could this be?" the Silver-Haired Girl whispered.

As the Poison Master of Sunagakure, this was still her first time experiencing such a thing.

Logically, with her abilities, even if she couldn't quickly analyze the Poison's components or develop an Antidote, she should at least know the direction of research, right?

But in reality, after a full day of research, she still couldn't parse even a single component of the Poison.

Such a case was truly unheard of…

Looking at the PoisonLiquidSample on the table, the girl's complexion grew paler.

If they couldn't produce an Antidote, the Sand Ninja would be unable to resist Konoha.

By then, surrender would be the only option.

"No, no matter what, I must develop an Antidote!"

……

Konoha and the Sand Ninja's reinforcements arrived at the Battlefield almost simultaneously.

Nairan Benhe, seeing the reinforcements arrive and the power of Renya Poison, seized the moment that the Sand Ninja had not yet produced an Antidote and launched a surprise attack without hesitation.

The Konoha Ninja marched in great numbers toward the Sand Ninja camp, launching an assault.

Sand Ninja Commander Matsuda, upon learning the news, immediately ordered a counterattack.

As the battle began, the situation quickly became a one-sided affair.

The Sand Ninja were horrified to discover that the Poison used by the Konoha Ninja was extremely potent; anyone who inadvertently fell victim would succumb to the Poison within moments!

Meanwhile, their Poison had no effect whatsoever on the Konoha Ninja.

Seeing this, the Sand Ninja who had just arrived at the front lines for support couldn't help but begin to doubt their lives.

Which village truly excels at using Poison?!

Since when has Konoha Village become so adept at using Poison?

The Konoha Ninja, witnessing the astonishing power of Renya's Poison, saw the Sand Ninja helplessly slain, and couldn't be more thrilled.

When they fought to the death, it was as if they didn't care about life; any enemy who fell victim would die, and the Error Tolerance Rate was very high.

The Sand Ninja were stunned by the Konoha Ninja's frenzied tactics.

They all chose to keep their distance.

Choosing to use Ninjutsu bombardment, no one was willing to engage in close combat anymore.

After all, close combat was simply unbeatable.

The Konoha Ninja, seeing the Sand Ninja huddled together and only daring to use Ninjutsu attacks, instantly became displeased.

They stood outside the Ninjutsu attack range and began shouting insults at the Sand Ninja.

"You bunch of guys, come out and duel!"

"What skill is it to cower in the rear?"

"Can you still fight? If not, surrender!"

For a moment, the battlefield rang with endless shouts from the Konoha Ninja.

Those who didn't know would think this was a vegetable market…

Facing the Konoha Ninja's taunts, the Sand Ninja felt extremely aggrieved, yet none dared to engage in close combat with the Konoha Ninja.

They could only employ Wind Release Ninjutsu to hinder the Konoha Ninja's advance.

There was nothing they could do; they were completely crushed in Poison Crafting.

Lian Ye watched the Sand Ninja gathered together in the distance, feeling somewhat helpless.

He truly hadn't expected the Sand Ninja to adopt such a cowering tactic.

For a moment, there truly was no better solution.

He could only wait for the opponent's chakra to be depleted, then strike in a single blow.

"Lian Yejun, the Poison you developed is truly amazing!" Zhuan Qin Xiaochun couldn't help but compliment.

Poison, when used on the battlefield, is essentially a killing weapon.

It can kill the enemy with the smallest cost.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang nodded in agreement; he had just used the same Poison as Lian Ye, and within a short time killed several Sand Ninja.

The opponents had absolutely no resistance and lost their lives.

To be honest, this was the easiest kill he had made in years.

Tuan Cang finally understood why Lian Ye had been so obsessed with developing Poison; it was because of this very thought!

In fact, his guess was correct…

Lian Ye originally sought to develop Poison simply to kill the enemy with the smallest cost.

After all, at first his strength was weak, and during missions he often encountered enemies stronger than him.

The three of them had to spend a lot of thought to kill the enemy.

Sometimes they couldn't even win, and could only choose to flee.

At that time, Lian Ye thought that if he could develop a powerful Poison, he wouldn't need to fight so hard.

Thus he began to self-study Poison Crafting.

Despite his abysmal theoretical scores, Lian Ye surprisingly possessed a strong talent for Poison Crafting.

After years of development and refinement, the poison they produced has become increasingly potent.

In Lian Ye's view, a ninja is a profession that carries out ambushes, infiltration, and assassinations.

There is no need for honorable, open combat; simply killing the enemy suffices.

If you can ambush, ambush; if you can poison, poison; if you can assassinate, assassinate.

A frontal assault is impossible unless the opponent is extremely weak.

Otherwise he would never increase his risk of dying in battle…

After all, a life is only one; once dead, it's truly gone.

No… Lian Ye has three lives.

Having Izanagi, he has a total of two Error Tolerance Chances.

Although his life Error Tolerance Rate is higher than others', who would want to die while still alive?

Moreover, using Izanagi once will cause him to lose one Sharingan.

Without the Sharingan, his power will be greatly reduced.

Weaker power means the risk of death increases.

Lian Ye has always been cautious, never letting himself fall into a desperate situation.

Just as now on the Battlefield, he does not stand at the front but stays amid the crowd.

In this way, even if unexpected situations arise, he still has a chance to react.

He won't die in a baffling manner…

The combat has stalled into a stalemate.

The Sand Ninjas crouch at a distance; whenever a Konoha Ninja attempts to approach, they are bombarded by countless Wind Release Ninjutsu attacks.

The Konoha Ninjas are not in a hurry; they repeatedly enter the Sand Ninjas' attack range and then immediately withdraw.

They do this to drain the Sand Ninjas' chakra, waiting for it to be exhausted.

Then they will launch a full‑scale attack without hesitation!

Before the Sand Ninjas develop an Antidote, Konoha can be said to hold absolute advantage.

Thus, by wearing them down slowly, the Sand Ninjas will eventually be unable to hold out.

……

Rear Sand Ninja Camp.

Matsuda learns the frontline news, his face turning iron‑blue.

"We must never let Konoha continue like this!"

As the Battlefield commander, he naturally knows the seriousness of the situation.

The lethality of Konoha's poison far exceeds his understanding.

If they do not develop an Antidote soon, the Sand Ninjas will suffer heavy losses.

By then, how will he report to Wind Shadow Lord?!

He briskly leaves the tent and finds the girl who is working on the Antidote.

……

"Qiandai, is the Antidote finished?"

Matsuda, upon entering the tent, sees the girl's busy silhouette.

"Just a little longer… I'll have it ready soon…"

"Then hurry, the frontline needs your Antidote!"

He knows this matter cannot be rushed…

After giving his instructions, he leaves the tent.

Since he is turned away from Qiandai, Matsuda does not see her frantic expression.

ps: Without a heroine, Qiandai would not be the heroine!!!
