Chapter 183: Uncle, How Did You Arrive?

Water Release: Water Break Wave!

The High Pressure Water Blade sliced across with iron‑cutting force; Jin Jiao's outstretched hand was severed, and blood sprayed like a waterfall!

"What?!" Jin Jiao's snarling expression froze on his face.

White strands of hair swept into Lian Ye's view, and the familiar deep‑blue armor glinted coldly in the sunlight.

The person stood with his back to him, arms crossed over his chest.

"Kid, be more careful from now on."

If he hadn't arrived in time, the kid would have died.

Lian Ye only felt a flash before a familiar silhouette appeared before him.

He stared blankly at the figure, his pupils narrowing slightly, and asked in disbelief:

"Uncle, how did you get here?"

The one who saved Lian Ye was none other than Qianshou Feijian, who had headed to the Battlefield.

Lian Ye hadn't expected Qianshou Feijian to suddenly appear on the Battlefield and rescue him.

Logically, shouldn't that old man be handling affairs in the Village?

How could he still have time to come to the Battlefield?!

"You are Jin Jiao of Cloud Hidden Village, aren't you?" Qianshou Feijian's icy gaze fixed on the gravely wounded Jin Jiao.

Seeing Jin Jiao's injuries, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Have these kids already become capable of handling Shadow-level Strongmen without falling behind?

Feijian's mouth twitched upward slightly, a feeling of admiration in his heart.

No wonder he's a disciple I raised; he'll surely become the Village's hope in the future!

"You... you are the Second Hokage?!" Jin Jiao staggered back, clearly recognizing Qianshou Feijian's identity.

He was already near death, wanting to drag Lian Ye with him before dying.

He had been close to success, but never expected the Second Hokage to appear on the Battlefield and thwart his plan.

The belated Yuanfei Rizhan and the others stared in shock at the suddenly appearing silver‑haired man: "Teacher Feijian!"

Lian Ye coughed up a mouthful of blood and warned, "No reminiscing, kill Jin Jiao first!"

Qianshou Feijian heard the words, his mouth twitching slightly, thinking to himself that the kid was oblivious to the mood.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others only then remembered the urgent matter.

"Stay put, don't move. I'll handle Jin Jiao," Qianshou Feijian said without turning his head, "Xiaochun, go treat Lian Ye."

"Yes, Teacher Feijian!" Xiaochun Zhuanqin immediately approached Lian Ye and used Medical Ninjutsu to treat his wounds.

With Teacher Feijian present, the merely wounded Jin Jiao was nothing at all.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others finally relaxed their tense nerves.

"Ri Zhan, keep an eye on them," Lian Ye whispered.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others wore odd expressions, looking at the pressed‑down Jin Jiao, not understanding what Lian Ye meant.

Did Lian Ye think Teacher Feijian couldn't defeat Jin Jiao?

How could that be possible?!

The three of them didn't take the matter to heart.

After a brief treatment, Lian Ye stood and looked toward the two combatants far away.

He was indeed a bit worried that Qianshou Feijian might encounter an accident in his fight with Jin Jiao.

If that old fool were carelessly killed by the plot...

Then all his efforts these days would have been in vain.

Fortunately, Lian Ye's worries didn't materialize, and the battle ended quickly.

The gravely wounded Jin Jiao was no match; after dozens of rounds, Qianshou Feijian seized a flaw and killed him.

When the fight ended, Qianshou Feijian gathered his chakra and turned to face the group.

"Your habit of showing off hasn't changed," he frowned at Lian Ye's chest, where bone was visible through the wound, "If I hadn't left the Flying Thunder God Seal..."

Speaking, a green glow of Medical Ninjutsu appeared on his palm, gently pressing onto Lian Ye's snarling wound.

Isn't it perfectly normal for a renowned Forbidden Technique Master of the Ninja World to use Medical Ninjutsu?

Lian Ye finally understood how the old fool appeared suddenly—he had secretly planted the Flying Thunder God Seal on himself.

Truly, Qianshou Feijian is inherently evil!

If he ever betrays Konoha, will he then receive a Flying Thunder God Slash?!

Feeling the tingling of the healing wound, Lian Ye said nothing.

No matter what, that old man saved his life, so he wouldn't hold a grudge.

But precisely because he wants Qianshou Feijian to live, he must kill Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

"Uncle, aren't you handling paperwork in the office? How did you get to the Battlefield?" Lian Ye asked suddenly.

"I sensed your chakra disturbance and rushed here," Qianshou Feijian glanced at Jin Jiao's corpse in the distance, murmuring, "You've actually made progress, being able to drive Cloud Hidden Village's Jin Jiao into this state."

During the recent fight with Jin Jiao, he noticed Jin Jiao's chakra was out of control, likely because he was poisoned by a toxin Lian Ye had developed.

Coupled with his severe injuries, death was only a matter of time.

What he didn't know was that Lian Ye had already killed the future Third Raikage.

Without these Shadow-level Strongmen, the old fool wouldn't die, right?

At least he wouldn't be killed by the people of Cloud Hidden Village...

After all, he had eliminated all the threatening ones himself.

"Sensed my chakra?" Lian Ye looked utterly bewildered.

The Battlefield is 108,000 li from Konoha; how did this old kid sense my chakra?!

He can't be fooling himself, can he?

Qianshou Feijian, seeing the situation, had no intention to explain, so he let the kid fill in the blanks himself…

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others finally came to their senses; Uchiha Jing couldn't help murmuring softly, "Teacher Feijian really cares about Lian Yejun, yet from start to finish hasn't spoken with us…"

"Mirror!" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang hurriedly elbowed him, reminding, "Teacher Feijian hates those who spread rumors about comrades behind their backs the most!"

"Sigh, how did you know?" Uchiha Jing Mian looked bewildered; he seemed never to have heard of this.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang wore a grim face and said nothing, then realized the information came from the Genjutsu Lian Ye had cast…

Of course, he could not tell a few people such an embarrassing matter.

Uchiha Jing, seeing Tuan Cang unwilling to speak, wisely said nothing further.

"Do you feel like we're missing someone?" Yuanfei Rizhan suddenly asked.

The few exchanged glances and in unison shouted, "Yan!"

Only then did they recall the likewise severely wounded Mizuto Menyan, who was still lying at the front‑line battlefield.

……

When they arrived, Mizuto Menyan was leaning against a tree, having fallen into a coma.

Qianshou Feijian and Xiaochun Zhuanqin hurried forward to apply Medical Ninjutsu for treatment.

"Am I… dead?" Mizuto Menyan groggily opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the few before him.

Upon seeing Qianshou Feijian, he widened his eyes in shock, "Teacher, how did you get here!"

He initially thought he was dead, but the moment he saw the teacher, he came to his senses.

"You've worked hard."

Qianshou Feijian patted Yan's shoulder.

"Teacher, I'm not struggling!"

Hearing that, Mizuto Menyan felt the pain in his body vanish.

Yuanfei Rizhan and the others looked at Mizuto Menyan with envy.

Damn it, Yan this guy actually got the teacher's concern!

Lian Ye saw the scene and sighed helplessly.

These foolish kids were heavily brainwashed…

ps: No more all‑night gaming; my schedule's irregular. Just two chapters today, I'm going to sleep now, eee‑eee‑eee.

Oh right, how many chapters am I still owing?
