Chapter 153: Enthusiastic Nara Commander

The news of the strong man's death spread quickly through the Konoha Camp.

"Did you hear? Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard was taken down!"

"They say he was poisoned to death, his body turned into blood water!"

"Who actually did it?"

"I heard it was apparently a member of the Uchiha Clan…"

"Is that true? I never heard the Uchiha use poison!"

By the curling campfire smoke, the Konoha Ninja whispered to each other, occasionally glancing toward the few wounded Uchiha nearby.

Because they were severely wounded, the few did not go to the Battlefield.

When they learned that the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard was taken out by the Uchiha, they proudly lifted their heads, looking disdainfully at the chatting ninja.

Although they didn't know who actually killed the strong man, it was enough for them to know it was a member of the Uchiha Clan.

At that moment, four figures in the distance helped each other and trudged forward with difficulty.

Ahead of them, a dark‑haired youth carried a wounded person slowly toward the camp.

These are the six triumphant returnees of Lian Ye.

As for the other Konoha ninja, they were still on their way back.

The first to react were the veterans at the front.

They rushed forward, taking the severely wounded Shuihu Menyan from Lian Ye's back.

The camp's Medical Ninja sprinted over and carried Menyan back to the camp.

Yuanfei Rizhan and others followed the Medical Ninja to the Medical Department for treatment.

"Did the Northern Front win?" a ninja asked.

The Northeast Battlefield had been divided into several battlefields, and the one Lian Ye had been on before was the Northern Front.

"Yes, we won," Lian Ye replied softly.

Seeing that Lian Ye's injuries were not serious, everyone gathered around him curiously and asked, "We heard that on the battlefield the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard was killed by the Uchiha; is that true?"

Obviously, they did not know Lian Ye's identity.

Facing the crowd's expectant gazes, Lian Ye's expression turned odd.

These people are now asking the matter directly to the person involved...

He gave no sign of explanation, merely nodded and said, "It's true."

Hearing Lian Ye's admission, the ninja burst into hearty laughter.

The strong man had caused considerable casualties to Konoha on the battlefield these past days.

Facing the powerful Thunder Armor, they still had no good solution.

If luck was on their side they could escape; if not, they were severely wounded, or even... dead.

Most of the wounded in the camp were thanks to the strong man; now that they hear of his death, can they not be pleased?

The ninja who had been responsible for reporting, upon seeing Lian Ye, hurried to the Commander's Tent to inform the Commander of the matter.

The Nara Commander, upon learning Lian Ye had returned, left the tent at once to greet him.

Seeing Lian Ye surrounded by the crowd, he instinctively examined his attire.

A youth, cold, with a knife at his waist.

It matched exactly what the clan head had described in the intel.

"Ha ha, you must be Renya Jonin!" the Nara Commander said as he approached Lian Ye.

The surrounding Konoha Ninja quickly made way.

Lian Ye looked at the enthusiastic Commander, guessing the other already knew the matter.

"That's right, I am Lian Ye."

The Nara Commander, seeing Lian Ye's admission, smiled even wider: "Come, come, let's go into the tent to talk."

Saying that, he grabbed Lian Ye without further ado and led him to the tent.

The Konoha Ninja wore curious expressions, murmuring, "What exactly is this youth's background?"

"Even the Zhi Qi Guan Da Ren greets with a smile; that background is impressive!"

"Don't speak nonsense; what if he's truly powerful?"

"He's only in his teens; he probably isn't a Jonin, right?"

Several Uchiha wounded exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Did you hear what the Commander just said? That guy..."

"We heard, it seemed he called the traitor's name."

Because many people surrounded him, they couldn't see the youth's appearance.

"Could it be that the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard was indeed killed by that traitor?"

The few's faces grew increasingly grim.

Although they had never crossed paths with Lian Ye, they all regarded him as a Uchiha traitor.

Now learning that Lian Ye might be the one who killed the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard, the feeling was worse than being killed themselves.

"We must inform the clan head."

Commander Camp.

The Nara Commander enthusiastically pulled a chair for Lian Ye, "Renya Jonin, thank you for your effort."

Lian Ye was a bit stunned; the Commander was perhaps too enthusiastic?

But he quickly understood the reason behind it...

Sure enough, as long as one has strength, one can be respected anywhere.

He didn't bother with politeness and sat on the chair.

"Renya Jonin, do you know about the killing of the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard?" the Nara Commander asked obliquely.

He had only been speculating before, without concrete evidence, so it was unwise to ask rashly.

"The Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard was killed by me together with a few of Ri Zhan's men…" Lian Ye said.

He didn't claim the credit all for himself…

After all, without Ri Zhan's men to restrain him, it would be hard to find a flaw in the strong man, let alone kill him.

Lian Ye's victory was half thanks to his comrades.

The Nara Commander was slightly startled by the words, then smiled, "I understand now; you are all heroes on the battlefield!"

He finally understood why the clan chief praised Lian Ye in the intel.

Not only is he powerful, but he also values his comrades.

Such a person is the High-End Combat Power that Konoha Village needs most!

Truly, he lives up to being a child personally raised by the Hokage himself!

The above information all comes from intel from the Nairan Benhe Zhuan…

"Renya Jonin, rest well at the camp during this time; I'll have someone arrange a tent for your squad," the Nara Commander said.

"Thank you."

Lian Ye was led by the ninja who had been reporting earlier to a tent, and was told, "Renya Jonin, this is your squad's tent."

The Northeast Battlefield now has many personnel, and the space for setting up tents is limited, so only a few can cram into one tent.

Lian Ye entered the tent; its interior could accommodate about six ninjas, more than enough for the three of them.

He knew it was originally meant for six people, but the Nara Commander gave special consideration.

He didn't rush to rest, but went to the Medical Department to tell Tuan Cang and Zhuan Qin Xiaochun about the tent matter.

On the way, Lian Ye saw a few wounded Uchiha sitting around a campfire not far away.

Those Uchiha also saw Lian Ye and instantly showed disgusted looks.

Lian Ye said nothing, activated his Sharingan and looked back.

Seeing the Three Tomoe Sharingan, the few instinctively lowered their heads.

Among the Uchiha, those who can awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan are the clan's elites.

Even if Lian Ye is a traitor, they cannot afford to provoke him…

Lian Ye ignored them and headed straight to the Medical Department.

As long as the Uchiha don't actively cause trouble, he naturally won't bother with them.

If they truly dare to cause trouble, he will show no mercy.

…

"Damn, how is this traitor so strong?"

"On what grounds can he awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan?!"

The few watched Lian Ye's departing silhouette, feeling indignant.
