Chapter 164: What Happened to Yin Jiao?

"Damn Uchiha!" Jin Jiao's eyes turned crimson.

Remembering Yin Jiao's pleading before death, the murderous intent in his heart was hard to suppress, dark red chakra kept surging from his body.

He visualized Lian Ye's face, his fists clenched with a crackling sound.

"You killed Yin Jiao; I will never let you go!" Jin Jiao gave one last glance at Yin Jiao's corpse before leaving, "Little brother, I'm going to avenge you right now!"

Speaking that, he turned and left the camp tent to rally the ninja for a counterattack.

………

The news of Yin Jiao's death spread not only through the Cloud Hidden Camp but also to Konoha's camp.

The Nara Commander, upon learning the news, instantly showed a shocked expression.

"So everything Renya Jonin said was true... the poison he developed killed Yin Jiao!"

The shock on his face quickly turned to joy; Yin Jiao's death greatly weakened the Cloud Ninja's High-End Combat Power.

Lian Ye and his few companions only needed to deal with Jin Jiao alone; the other Cloud Ninja and Konoha could easily take care of the rest.

In a short time, Cloud Hidden Village lost three Shadow-level Strongmen.

The First Raikage, the Lightning Shadow's Personal Guard, and Yin Jiao died in succession, an undoubtedly massive blow to Cloud Hidden.

This means Cloud Hidden Village's High-End Combat Power is severely lacking……

The current situation is the perfect moment for Konoha to launch a counterattack!

The Nara Commander hesitated not, immediately organizing ninja to attack the Cloud Ninja.

For a long time the Cloud Ninja were the aggressors; finally it's Konoha's turn to strike back.

Konoha ninja prepared for departure, splitting into three groups heading toward the Cloud Hidden Camp.

Taking advantage of the Cloud Ninja's High-End Combat Power deficit, dozens of Elite Jonin formed squads to slaughter Cloud Hidden Chunin en masse.

This included strong members of major clans, such as Uchiha, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Akimichi……

The Nara Commander clearly intended to cripple the Cloud Hidden forces in one blow, causing severe casualties.

As long as the Cloud Ninja suffer heavy losses, there will be insufficient troops to commit to the war in a short time.

Moreover, with the First Raikage dead, no one in the village can oversee the overall situation, worsening the impact on frontline battles.

Lian Ye Squad and Rizhan Squad received orders to contain Jin Jiao……

The Nara Commander doesn't demand they kill Jin Jiao; merely containing this Shadow-level Strongman and preventing him from joining the fight suffices.

The few had been back at the camp for less than a day before heading to the battlefield again.

………

"Lian Ye, be careful then; I think Jin Jiao won't let you go free," Yuanfei Rizhan couldn't help but warn.

Yin Jiao was killed by Lian Ye, and Jin Jiao will definitely avenge his dead brother.

He worries that Jin Jiao might recklessly die together with Lian Ye, and then they might not be able to stop him……

"Lian Yejun, perhaps you shouldn't appear yet," Zhuan Qin Xiaochun said with concern.

"Exactly, just entrust this mission to us," Uchiha Jing said with a smile.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang remained silent; he actually hoped Lian Ye wouldn't take part, so the mission's merit could be divided among fewer people.

Lian Ye naturally understood their concerns, but it was impossible to skip the battlefield just because of this, right?

Although Jin Jiao is powerful, we have a six-to-one advantage!

Moreover, he now wields the Banana Leaf Fan as a ranged weapon; who kills whom is still uncertain.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill," Lian Ye lifted his Banana Leaf Fan, signaling the others to relax.

The others, seeing this, stopped urging further, realizing they had overthought.

……………………

Jin Jiao, leading the Cloud Hidden forces, had just left the camp when they met the advancing Konoha ninja head‑on.

Both sides instantly erupted into fierce combat, shouts of killing and ninja technique explosions intertwining.

Jin Jiao did not join the fight immediately, his gaze scanning everywhere, seeking the Uchiha youth who killed his brother.

His right arm was bound with a Huang Jin Rope, his right hand gripping the sharp Seven Star Sword, and a Red Gourd tucked under his left armpit.

These three Six Paths Ninja Tools, used together, could unleash terrifying power.

The Amber Pure Bottle was inconvenient to carry, so he swallowed it.

He was confident he could kill that Uchiha youth and avenge his dead brother.

Suddenly, Jin Jiao's gaze fixed on the six Konoha ninja who had just arrived on the battlefield.

The black‑haired youth with a knife in his right hand and a fan in his left—wasn't he the mastermind behind Yin Jiao's death?

His pupils suddenly contracted, Nine‑Tailed Chakra uncontrollably spilling over his body.

"Damn Uchiha Xiao Gui, give me back my brother's life!" Jin Jiao let out a thunderous roar, his whole body erupting with astonishing chakra.

He charged straight at the black‑haired youth, his scarlet eyes reflecting Lian Ye's stern face.

The ground cracked wherever he passed, shards of stone scattering.

Lian Ye's party, just arriving at the battlefield, felt the terrifying killing aura.

They naturally saw Jin Jiao sprinting toward them.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Lian Ye barked gravely.

Jin Jiao's stance was clearly aimed at him; the brothers' bond was indeed deep.

He activated his Sharingan, staring at the approaching Jin Jiao, instinctively gripping his Tachi and Banana Leaf Fan.

Facing Jin Jiao's Tail Beast Transformation still placed great pressure. A slight mistake could cause severe injury; they must respond with full force.

The five immediately readied for battle, forming a semicircular formation. In this formation, whoever the opponent attacks, the others can quickly provide support.

Jin Jiao, fifty meters away, suddenly halted, six chakra‑formed tails wildly flailing behind him.

The hateful gaze locked onto Lian Ye, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand glowed with a dangerous light under the influence of chakra.

He was angry, but he did not lose his reason.

Lian Ye saw that Jin Jiao did not launch an attack immediately, and he instantly showed a smile full of malicious amusement.

Under Jin Jiao's stare, Lian Ye suddenly asked:

"What's wrong with Yin Jiao?"

……

The atmosphere on the spot fell into a strange, dead silence.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others looked at the speaking Lian Ye with astonished faces.

What on earth is this guy saying!

Isn't this a knowing‑question? What if it enrages Jin Jiao?

No, Jin Jiao is already enraged…

"Ahhh—"

Only then Jin Jiao looked up to the sky and roared, red chakra continuously burst through his body.

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

That damned Uchiha Xiao Gui not only killed his brother, but also tried to rub salt into his wound…

Simply unforgivable!

Lian Ye's words made him so angry he almost lost his reason, his mind filled with tearing that damned Uchiha to pieces.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help their mouths twitch.

They all didn't know what to say to Lian Ye…

He already killed his own brother, and still wants to rub salt into his wound.

Now it's perfect, he directly angered him.

Lian Ye just said it offhand, not expecting Jin Jiao's reaction to be so great.

Of course, if he were given another chance…

He would still say that.
