Chapter 420: Four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Zi

As Konoha intervened in the battlefield, the nations for a time dared not launch an attack.

Fearing being heavily damaged by a surprise attack from Konoha troops.

A few days later, the shadows of the three great ninja villages formed an alliance.

The Water, Earth, and Lightning nations intend to unite and assault Konoha's garrison.

They aim to first defeat the strongest ninja village.

Then they can divide Konoha's abundant resources.

Originally they had no intention of waging war on Konoha; it was Konoha that came to them.

Then they can't be blamed!

Konoha Commander's Tent.

"I knew the three great ninja villages wouldn't let this once-in-a-thousand-years chance slip by."

Chief Commander Nairan Benhe looked at the intelligence reported by scouts, curled his lips and sneered.

Those guys claim on the surface they're not Konoha's opponents, yet behind the scenes they still united.

However, he had long anticipated this.

"Proceed according to the plan," Nairan Benhe ordered methodically.

The thousands of ninja stationed at the camp finally moved.

They each headed to individual small battlefields.

"Renya Jonin, from now on it's up to you to go to each battlefield to provide support."

Nairan Benhe looked toward Lian Ye, who was lying on the recliner with eyes closed, and said.

"Alright." Lian Ye slowly opened his eyes and replied softly.

Konoha's war is finally about to begin.

Let's see if we can encounter the jinchuriki of Cloud Hidden Village and Earth Hidden Village on the battlefield.

The jinchuriki of this era probably aren't as strong as those later.

Even if they have earned the Beast's approval, the rapport still requires a great deal of time to hone.

Yuanfei Rizhan, Zhuan Qin Xiaochun, Uchiha Jing, and Shuihu Menyan were dispatched to other battlefields.

As Konoha forces moved, the ninja stationed at the camp visibly decreased to the naked eye.

They were all sent to their respective battlefields.

"Zhi Qi Guan Da Ren, the Kirigakure forces and the Cloud Hidden forces have launched an attack simultaneously!"

Soon, a ninja responsible for relaying intelligence arrived to report.

Lian Ye had no reaction to this, still lying on the chair, goofing off.

The war has just begun; we can't just let him go support, can we?

There must be at least some powerful enemies to appear.

The battlefield is divided into dozens; it's impossible to run through each one, right?

Wouldn't that just exhaust us to death?

"Zhi Qi Guan Da Ren, Battlefield No. 3 has discovered an Iwagakure Village jinchuriki!"

After an unknown amount of time, Lian Ye finally heard news about a jinchuriki.

"Leave it to me."

As Lian Ye said so, his figure instantly vanished from the spot and reappeared already on the battlefield.

Battlefield No. 4, the scene resembled hell.

The ground was torn apart by various ninjutsu, black smoke rose from the scorched earth, and broken kunai and Explosive Talismans were everywhere.

Iwagakure ninja and Konoha ninja fought each other. Roars, screams, and explosions rang continuously.

At the center of the battlefield, an unusually ferocious and scorching chakra raged like a storm.

A relatively short youth with long dark red hair, his eyes crimson, his face bearing a painful and frantic expression, was emitting a roar unlike any human voice.

His body was cloaked in a dark red Beast Tail chakra mantle, and a tail made of molten lava wildly swung behind him.

It was Lao Zi, the Four-tailed jinchuriki of Iwagakure Village.

The power of Tail Beast Transformation was far beyond what ordinary ninja could withstand.

"Molten Release: Scorching River Flow Rock Technique!"

Lao Zi roared, spitting out several massive high‑temperature molten lava fireballs.

Countless fireballs slammed toward Konoha's defenses at breakneck speed.

"Scatter quickly!"

"Earth Release! Use Earth Release to defend!"

The Konoha ninja, terrified, tried to dodge or defend, but the terrifying heat of the lava fireballs quickly devoured several ninja who failed to evade in time.

Some who were farther away were inadvertently hit by the splashing lava.

They rolled on the ground in painful howls, soon turning into charred ash.

As soon as Lian Ye arrived on the battlefield, he saw such a grim scene, and his expression instantly grew solemn.

The power unleashed by the jinchuriki was indeed formidable.

Especially Lao Zi, who possessed a unique Blood Limit Molten Release, combined with the Beast Tail chakra continuously supplying energy.

It truly allowed him to be unstoppable on the battlefield.

Lao Zi darted across the battlefield, each attack taking the lives of several Konoha ninja.

Just as a Konoha Chunin was about to be engulfed by lava,

Lian Ye instantly appeared before him, his tachi drawn from its sheath.

A flash of cold light flickered, and the blade easily cleaved the lava fireball.

"Konoha Poison Master!"

Lao Zi's pupils suddenly contracted; he had once seen Lian Ye's portrait.

He didn't expect to meet Lian Ye here!

"Melt Release: Scorching River Flow Rock!"

Lao Zi hesitated not at all and launched his attack immediately.

Having once defeated the Earth Shadow Lord's guy, he must not be careless!

Watch out for the poison on his blade and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Several massive lava fireballs rushed toward them.

Lian Ye's gaze was icy, his Three Tomoe Sharingan whirring wildly.

His figure vanished the instant the fireball approached, reappearing beside a special Kunai on Lao Zi's flank.

Special Flying Thunder God Kunai were scattered across every Battlefield.

Even some Kunai used by Konoha Ninja were the special Kunai Lian Ye gave them.

A flash of blade, the Tachi sliced with a sharp whoosh, striking Lao Zi's chest directly.

Lao Zi, though unflustered, drew a lava tail like a steel whip, meeting the Tachi.

Clang!

The Tachi collided with the lava tail, yet it failed to cut through.

"Fire Style: Mighty Dragon Fire Technique!"

Lian Ye swiftly formed seals with his left hand, and three fire dragons roared out.

Seeing this, Lao Zi immediately employed Melt Release to defend.

Boom—boom—boom!

A violent explosion erupted in the sky, flames and Melt Release scattering everywhere.

A scorching shockwave surged forward, temporarily obscuring vision.

"Lao Zi, be careful—the Uchiha ahead is extremely dangerous!"

Within the Sealed Space, Si Wei Sun Wukong hurriedly warned.

It is on good terms with Lao Zi and does not wish him to die on the Battlefield like that.

"I understand, lend me your chakra!"

The moment the words finished, the Beast Tail Chakra on Lao Zi surged suddenly, and the single lava tail behind him split into two.

"Hoo Hoo Hoo."

His breathing was heavy, as if he might lose his mind at any moment.

Now!

Lian Ye's figure vanished again amid the explosion's smoke.

He instantly appeared behind Lao Zi, the Tachi's tip stabbing straight into his heart.

Even with Melt Release armor protecting him, he is confident he can break through the defense.

If this strike lands, the Toxin will infiltrate instantly.

The deadly crisis makes Lao Zi's hair stand on end!

He whirls around sharply, the madness in his eyes replaced by a hint of terror.

Damn, it's the Flying Thunder God Technique again!

"Hoo Hoo Hoo!"

Lao Zi lets out an angry roar, the Beast Tail Chakra inside him overflowing continuously.

He attempts to block this deadly blow.

However, at that life‑or‑death instant.

Lian Ye's attack did not arrive as expected.

His pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan whirled crazily and merged, finally outlining a complex pattern.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

"Did you forget the Uchiha Sharingan's Genjutsu?"

He just doesn't use Genjutsu often; that doesn't mean he can't use it.

"I'll make you experience real pain!"

Lian Ye covers his right eye, and his left eye suddenly sheds a line of blood tears.

"Direct Impurity God!"
