Chapter 161: Farewell

"This can't go on!" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang gritted his teeth. "We must find a way to seize the fan!"

The Banana Leaf Fan's released ninjutsu was astonishingly powerful; they had no strength to retaliate.

"Lian Yejun, do you have a solution?" Uchiha Jing asked softly.

The others' gazes instinctively fell on Lian Ye.

Lian Ye did not reply immediately, his Sharingan watching Yin Jiao's movements.

After a long while, he finally said, "You cover, and I'll take Yin Jiao!"

"Understood!" the group launched a counterattack.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Fire Release: Grand Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Wind Release: Wind Slash!"

In an instant, countless ninjutsu swarmed toward Yin Jiao.

"Brother, be careful," Jin Jiao warned.

"Don't worry, brother,"

Facing the sky‑filled ninjutsu, Yin Jiao raised the fan high and swung it fiercely, easily deflecting the attacks.

"Hehehe, it's my turn to strike back!" Yin Jiao waved the fan at the group, sending five‑element ninjutsu toward Yuanfei Rizhan and the others.

The few could only scramble to dodge…

Jin Jiao relaxed upon seeing this; his brother could use the Banana Leaf Fan to launch ranged ninjutsu, so the group couldn't get close, and there was no need to worry about his safety.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that a Konoha Ninja seemed to be missing in the distance!

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, "One, two, three, four, five…"

Sure enough, one person was indeed absent!

Jin Jiao instantly felt an ominous premonition and hurriedly scanned the surroundings, but found no trace of that Konoha Ninja.

Damn, where the heck did they hide?!

Just then, Jin Jiao suddenly saw Lian Ye's figure appear beside Yin Jiao, and he shouted anxiously, "Brother, watch out!"

He was about to go to aid when three of Yuanfei Rizhan's allies suddenly blocked his path.

"Damn you lot, get out of my way!"

Hearing that, Yin Jiao immediately sensed danger, but it was already too late…

Lian Ye seized the opening in Yin Jiao's attack, giving no chance to react; the Tachi in his hand traced a white arc, precisely slashing at Yin Jiao's right hand that held the fan.

Yin Jiao turned pale with shock, hurried to dodge, but was a step too slow.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted as Yin Jiao's right arm was cleanly cut off at the shoulder!

The Banana Leaf Fan flew high along with the severed arm.

"Got it," Lian Ye leapt high, catching the Banana Leaf Fan, while his blade aimed at Yin Jiao's neck.

"Aaaah—!!!" Yin Jiao's scream rang across the battlefield; he staggered back, his left hand pressing tightly on the wound of the severed arm, blood gushing from between his fingers.

Feeling his body change, his pupils suddenly contracted, and unprecedented fury flashed in his eyes.

"So you're the Uchiha who specializes in poison!"

He already felt the toxin spreading within his body and hurriedly used Chakra Control to curb its spread.

But this method can only hold for a while; without prompt treatment, he feared he'd have to meet the First Raikage and that brute.

Thinking of that, Yin Jiao became utterly enraged.

Before leaving, he needed to kill these damned guys!

"I'll tear you all... to pieces!"

Yin Jiao's Nine-Tailed Chakra erupted fully, the scarlet chakra spewing like magma, and six dark‑red tails manifested behind him.

His eyes were instantly stained crimson, flashing with blood‑thirsty light, exuding endless ferocity and brutality.

He let out a sky‑ward howl, the air compressed and warped, forming visible ripples.

Lian Ye, having just seized the Banana Leaf Fan, witnessed the scene.

He hesitated not, swinging the Banana Leaf Fan at Yin Jiao; an elemental storm of five attributes instantly blew Yin Jiao away.

"Aaaah! I'm going to kill you!"

Yin Jiao, seeing this damned guy using his own prized weapon against him, let anger strip his reason, wanting only to tear Lian Ye to pieces.

His figure vanished suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was right before Lian Ye!

"Die!"

A claw swung down, and Lian Ye tucked the Banana Leaf Fan and side blade to block.

After successfully blocking the attack, Lian Ye quickly created distance and swung the Banana Leaf Fan again.

Yin Jiao was once more blown away by the raging wind.

"We can't let him continue his rampage! Let's help Lian Ye!" Yuanfei Rizhan roared, and the Diamond Ruyi Staff suddenly elongated, thrusting toward Jin Jiao's throat.

Jin Jiao hadn't expected the staff to lengthen suddenly and was directly propelled outward.

Yuanfei Rizhan and his few allies seized the moment, moving to Lian Ye's side to deal with Yin Jiao first.

"Fire Release: Grand Fire Dragon Technique!" Uchiha Jing's flaming giant dragon surged from the side toward Yin Jiao.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's Wind Release and Shuihu Menyan's Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison activated simultaneously, attempting to block Yin Jiao's movements.

Facing the clan's combined ninjutsu, Yin Jiao was inadvertently restrained by Earth Release.

In an instant, countless ninjutsu bombarded him.

"Ahhh!" A heart‑rending scream from Yin Jiao rang out through the smoke.

As the smoke cleared, scorch marks appeared on Yin Jiao's body, and the broken right arm emitted a faint roasted‑meat smell.

Because the toxin began spreading and the Ninjutsu attack continued, he could no longer sustain the Tail Beast Transformation.

"Brother... my fan... it hurts so much..." Yin Jiao's face showed pain.

"Brother!" Jin Jiao, who had just arrived, saw the scene and his eyes ignited with murderous frenzy.

These damned guys actually wounded his most beloved brother like this……

"You... all must die!"

The chakra around Jin Jiao spread through the air, exuding an intense pressure.

But at this moment, the initiative on the Battlefield had shifted to Konoha's side, and the gravely wounded Yin Jiao could clearly no longer take part in the fight.

Lian Ye and six others formed a surrounding formation, trapping Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao in the center.

Facing the assault of six, Jin Jiao's six tails still thrashed wildly, but his crimson beast eyes suddenly narrowed.

— Reason overrode anger.

He realized that under the current circumstances, it would be hard to kill these guys, and even a slight misstep could endanger himself……

In such a situation, one must not linger in battle!

However, before leaving, he needs to snatch back the Banana Leaf Fan……

Jin Jiao's gaze locked onto the Banana Leaf Fan in Lian Ye's hand; his right arm swung suddenly, and the Huang Jin Rope shot toward Yuanfei Rizhan like golden lightning.

Ri Zhan instantly became alert, and just as he tried to dodge, the rope flew past his side.

The target of the Huang Jin Rope wasn't him at all!

The rope suddenly changed direction in the air, entangling Zhuan Qin Xiaochun in the distance!

At the instant the Huang Jin Rope touched Xiaochun, a white spirit word burst from her mouth.

Lian Ye muttered "not good" under his breath and rushed forward.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others could not spare a glance at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, and hurriedly followed.

Jin Jiao curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and with a tug of his right arm on the Huang Jin Rope he released Xiaochun, then wrapped the rope around Yin Jiao's waist.

"Hehehe, farewell!"

From the start his goal had been to create chaos, then leave with Yin Jiao.

By the time Lian Ye and his group recovered, the two had already fled far away.

ps: Lately I have no idea what to say, it's so annoying, eek eek eek……
