Chapter 162: Poor Tuan Cang

The Cloud Hidden Ninja saw that the Commander had fled; how could they still have the mind to keep fighting?

Instantly they scattered like birds and beasts, running toward their own camp.

The Konoha ninjas saw the Cloud Hidden Ninja withdraw and let out victorious cheers.

……

"Lian Ye, could you really just let them go like that?!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at the swiftly fleeing Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao with some displeasure.

Yin Jiao, heavily wounded and stripped of combat ability, could have been caught and killed if they had pressed the attack.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others, hearing this, turned their heads toward the leader, Lian Ye.

Lian Ye noticed their puzzled looks and whispered, "We're not in good shape right now; let the desperate enemy go, lest Jin Jiao panic and jump the wall…"

The one poisoned was Yin Jiao; Jin Jiao was unharmed.

If we push him to the brink, what about a fish‑dies‑net‑breaks scenario?

This would end up being a loss…

In the earlier battle, the several of them sustained considerable injuries.

The Tail Beast Transformation of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao unleashed astonishing power, easily wounding them.

If not for everyone cooperating to restrain the two, severe casualties would have occurred long ago.

With the intel on Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao and a Six-to-Two Ratio, we almost turned the tables.

We can only say they underestimated the strength of the Shadow-level Strongman.

Without a companion drawing fire, Lian Ye could never have successfully ambushed and severed Yin Jiao's arm, poisoned him, and seized the Banana Leaf Fan.

Lian Ye looked at the Banana Leaf Fan in his hand and couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow, truly worthy of Six Paths Ninja Tools…"

He casually swung it just now and easily blocked two attacks from the Tail Beast‑transformed Yin Jiao.

Although using the Banana Leaf Fan drains chakra heavily, Lian Ye's chakra reserves still allow normal use.

He used it twice just now, indeed feeling his chakra rushing away, yet the consumption wasn't high for him.

The others saw Lian Ye pull out the Banana Leaf Fan, and their eyes lit up instantly.

They had just witnessed the Fan's power; it can unleash five elemental Ninjutsu, its might truly astonishing!

Yin Jiao relied on the Banana Leaf Fan, making it hard for them to get close.

"Lian Ye, lend it to me quickly!" Yuanfei Rizhan said eagerly.

He was already impatient to personally experience the Fan's power.

The loot obtained by killing enemies on the Battlefield usually doesn't need to be turned over to the Village; it belongs to the slayer as a reward.

Of course, unwanted loot can be handed to the Village in exchange for merit to redeem needed Ninjutsu.

Lian Ye snatched the Banana Leaf Fan from Yin Jiao's hand; this Six Paths Ninja Tool became his loot.

"Lian Yejun, may I also have a look?" Uchiha Jing smiled.

"Lian Ye, we also want to borrow!" Xiaochun Zhuanqin and Shuihu Menyan said.

"A bunch of childish guys," Zhi Cun Tuan Zang thought the others were embarrassing, turned his head away, yet his peripheral glance still fell on the Banana Leaf Fan.

"Here, take it." Lian Ye casually tossed the Banana Leaf Fan to Ri Zhan.

Yuanfei Rizhan gripped the Banana Leaf Fan tightly, subconsciously swallowed, mimicking Yin Jiao's earlier move, and swung the fan fiercely forward.

Five chakra‑attribute Ninjutsu shot out from the fan at extreme speed, causing considerable damage ahead.

One swing and Yuanfei Rizhan's entire face turned pale.

The little chakra he had left was directly siphoned away by half just now.

"I'm done playing, here you go." Yuanfei Rizhan's right hand, holding the fan, trembled slightly, his mouth twitching.

The Banana Leaf Fan is indeed powerful, but it consumes too much chakra.

Even in his prime, it can't be used continuously in combat.

If the opponent hasn't been slain yet, his own chakra will be exhausted first.

Only those with massive chakra should use it; it's not recommended for ordinary people…

"Ri Zhan, let me have a go too." Uchiha Jing snatched the Banana Leaf Fan from Ri Zhan's hand, completely unaware of the seriousness.

"Finally it's my turn!" Uchiha Jing gripped the fan tightly and swung hard!

"Boom!" A Chakra Storm of five attributes appeared ahead.

Yuanfei Rizhan looked at the Mirror before him with a sympathetic expression and asked concernedly:

"Mirror, are you okay?"

"Haha, I'm fine, I'm fine…" Uchiha Jing's face turned pale, showing an awkward yet polite smile.

He knew the Banana Leaf Fan would drain a lot of chakra, but hadn't expected it to consume so much!

If it were during normal times it might be tolerable, but now that the battle just ended, his remaining chakra is already low; suddenly having a large amount drawn out—who could endure that?

"Xiaochun, Yan, aren't you going to play? Here you go…"

Uchiha Jing smiled and handed the Banana Leaf Fan to the two.

"Mirror, why is your face so pale, are you okay?" Xiaochun Zhuanqin asked concernedly.

Yuanfei Rizhan turned away silently, preventing Xiaochun from noticing his pallor.

"Just a minor injury; two days of rest will heal it," Uchiha Jing explained.

Seeing Xiaochun take the fan, Ri Zhan and Mirror watched her expression expectantly.

Lian Ye, witnessing all this, couldn't help his mouth corner twitch.

He no longer knew what to say; he hadn't expected this bunch to also have a side that sabotages teammates…

He didn't interfere with their twisted amusement, merely watching silently.

Soon they had all experienced it, and only Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, eyes closed in rest, remained.

The few glanced at each other and saw the cunning in each other's eyes.

Lian Ye: "…"

"Tuan Cang, would you like to try the Banana Leaf Fan?" Yuanfei Rizhan approached Tuan Cang holding the fan.

Hearing that, Tuan Cang's eyelids twitched and he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the Banana Leaf Fan, his Adam's apple rolling.

Clearly he could barely hold back…

Yuanfei Rizhan handed over the fan, smiling, "Give it a try. We've all experienced it; it's really impressive."

Staring at the Banana Leaf Fan before him, Tuan Cang ultimately couldn't resist.

He reached out, took the fan, and said lightly, "Since you all asked, I'll reluctantly give it a try…"

Just as he was about to swing the fan, several voices called from beside him:

"Tuan Cang, the harder you push, the stronger the power!"

Lian Ye's sympathetic gaze fell on Tuan Cang; what a pitiful fellow.

It is true that the harder you push, the stronger the power, but the chakra consumption also grows.

If you truly swing the fan at full force, won't you deplete your chakra?

"Is that so?" Tuan Cang's mouth twitched upward, "Then I'll show you my Full Power Strike!"

"Come on, Tuan Cang!" the crowd shouted encouragement.

Under the expectant gazes, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang inhaled deeply and, with all his might, swung the Banana Leaf Fan.

He wanted to show these guys just how astonishing his unleashed power was!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A massive Chakra Storm instantly erupted ahead.

"Thump—"

Lian Ye saw Zhi Cun Tuan Zang collapse to the ground, his eyes going black as he fell into a coma.

Could this be the legendary Overkill?

It really is impressive…

"Tuan Cang, are you okay?!"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin hurried forward to check and learned that Tuan Cang had merely exhausted his chakra and fallen unconscious.

Only then did the crowd let out a sigh of relief.

Lian Ye: "…"
