Chapter 157: Weakness of the Six Paths Ninja Tools

From the distant Battlefield, the explosions of Explosive Talismans came one after another.

The war between Cloud Hidden and Konoha has started again.

Lian Ye and a few others were recuperating in the camp, not taking part in this battle.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang stood up, gazing at the smoke spreading across the distant sky, and said, "The battle has broken out."

If he were uninjured, he would never let this chance to earn merit slip by.

Unfortunately, the strongman's attack inflicted considerable damage on him.

It even affected his strength, requiring proper recuperation.

Going to the Battlefield in such a condition would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.

Even though Tuan Cang was eager to kill enemies for merit, he still had to wait until his wounds healed.

He must at least wait until his injuries no longer hinder combat.

"I hope our comrades' casualties aren't too high," Yuanfei Rizhan murmured softly.

He dislikes the feeling of comrades fighting on the Battlefield while he hides in the rear to recover.

At this moment he wishes he could go to the Battlefield to support, but seeing his body swathed in bandages, he finally dismissed the thought.

Given his current condition, going to the Battlefield would only be a hindrance.

Rather than that, it's better to recuperate properly.

Lian Ye sensed the others' thoughts, worried they might act rashly and head to the Battlefield while injured, and couldn't help reminding them:

"Rest well, and go to the Battlefield only after your wounds heal."

After saying that, he stood up and returned to the Commander's Tent to sleep.

Anyway, they can't help now, so they might as well go back to sleep.

In the fight with the strongman, Lian Ye's injuries were more than just simple wounds.

The intense combat also left his spirit fatigued, requiring a good sleep for recovery.

Moreover, sleep can accelerate the healing of his bodily injuries.

With his recuperative ability, he might wake up fully restored after a single nap.

Once healed, he can start planning how to kill Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

The few agreed that Lian Ye was right and returned to their respective Commander's Tents to rest.

Inside the Commander's Tent were a few crude beds; in such conditions, having a bed was a luxury, and Lian Ye casually lay on one to begin resting.

Listening to the distant sounds of battle, he soon fell into a deep sleep…

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin entered the Commander's Tent and found Lian Ye already asleep.

The two each lay on a bed, closing their eyes to rest.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

The Explosive Talisman's blast and the clash of Ninjutsu rang clearly in the ears.

The two gradually drifted into dreamland in this setting.

As the battle continued, wounded soldiers were constantly sent back to the camp, and Medical Ninja began to bustle.

The comrades' wails echoed throughout the camp.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin, unable to sleep, left the Commander's Tent to help treat the wounded.

Lian Ye naturally heard the commotion, but selectively ignored the sounds and never woke up.

Tuan Cang was different; the noisy environment made it hard for him to fall asleep.

He subconsciously glanced at the sleeping Lian Ye, his face full of envy.

Lian Ye's sleep quality was truly excellent; he could sleep even in this setting.

……………………

In the following days, the few all recuperated within the camp.

Lian Ye's injuries healed by the third day, but he didn't rush to the Battlefield to support, planning to wait until Tuan Cang and the others recovered before going together.

The Jin Jiao Yin Jiao Brothers were powerful; Lian Ye alone was no match for them.

He would need companions to cooperate in order to possibly take down the two.

As time passed, the few's injuries finally healed.

This marked the fifth day of the ongoing battle.

The Jin Jiao Yin Jiao Brothers' performance on the Battlefield was by no means weaker than the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard.

Their coordinated teamwork left Konoha Ninja in unbearable distress.

The two brothers, wielding Nine-Tailed Chakra and Six Paths Ninja Tools, were unstoppable on the Battlefield, causing heavy Konoha casualties in a short span.

The casualties they caused even exceeded those of the strongman!

Because Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao are brutally savage, they fight with utter ruthlessness, sparing no means.

When Konoha Ninja faced them, they endured torment before death.

This situation gave Nara Commander a severe headache; he could only pin his hopes on Lian Ye and the others.

They had previously teamed up to kill the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard, so they should also be able to handle Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

Upon learning that the few's injuries had healed, Nara Commander immediately sought them out.

Inside the Commander's Camp.

"Everyone, I entrust this matter to you!" Nara Commander said gravely, "We don't need to kill Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao; just inflict serious wounds on them will suffice!"

As long as the two cannot join the fight for a short period, Konoha's pressure will be eased…

He handed the intelligence gathered from the Battlefield to Lian Ye and the others, which detailed Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's combat methods and common tactics.

"Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's strength far exceeds that of ordinary Elite Jonin, nearly reaching Shadow-level," Yuanfei Rizhan said, furrowing his brows.

With their strength it is almost impossible to defeat the two, let alone kill them.

Jinyin Jiaoyin's strength has already reached the same level as Teacher Feijian.

Fighting such enemies, the Danger Coefficient is extremely high!

Even so, when faced with the Nara Commander's request, not a single person objected.

"They have Nine-Tailed Chakra, we cannot adopt a war of attrition," Uchiha Jing said, "They can sustain combat for a long time."

In a contest of chakra quantity, they are clearly inferior to Jinyin Jiaoyin; who will wear the other out remains uncertain.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at the intelligence in his hand, frowning: "The more troublesome are the Six Paths Artifacts—Huang Jin Rope, Banana Leaf Fan, Seven Star Sword, Red Gourd, and also Amber Pure Bottle!"

Possessing these powerful artifacts makes the two unstoppable on the Battlefield.

Konoha Ninja have absolutely no way to deal with them.

Because they lack concrete intelligence, they don't even know how to respond...

Sometimes, inexplicably, they get sealed by the Red Gourd.

Moreover, they're not only facing Jinyin Jiaoyin but also other Cloud Ninja, which puts Konoha at a disadvantage in the war.

"I know how to deal with Six Paths Ninja Tools..." Lian Ye suddenly spoke up.

Others don't know the intelligence on Six Paths Ninja Tools, but this outsider does!

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Lian Ye, curiosity flashing in their eyes.

Facing the gazes cast by the others, Lian Ye gave no cryptic answer.

"The Huang Jin Rope can force a person to expel the spirit of commonly used words; in combat one should speak as little as possible, preferably remain silent, so as to avoid uttering recorded word spirits."

Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in shock; so the Huang Jin Rope's ability is to record others' word spirits!

The senior officials of Cloud Hidden Village would not disclose such important intelligence to others.

Apart from the village's seniors, only the holders—Jinyin Jiaoyin—know the weakness...

"The Seven Star Sword and Red Gourd are used in tandem; the Seven Star Sword can cut word spirits and record them on the blade, and if one utters the recorded word spirit or a similar pronunciation, the Red Gourd will seal them."

"I see!" Nara Commander exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.

He explained why Konoha Ninja inexplicably triggered the Red Gourd's seal; it was because they uttered words recorded by the Seven Star Sword!

"As for the Amber Pure Bottle..."
