Chapter 424: If You Can Move Me

The next day, at the Mu Ye Zhi Qi Guan Ying Zhang.

"Renya Jonin, how do you view the issue of the Rain Hidden Village leader's alliance with Konoha?"

Chief Commander Nairan Benhe asked curiously.

Who let the Hokage grant authority to Lian Ye, letting him take responsibility for everything?

It can be said that in this matter, Nairan Benhe, the Battlefield Chief Commander, plays no role at all.

Whether to ally or not depends on Lian Ye's choice.

"I don't know; let's see Shanjiaoyu Banzang's performance later."

Lian Ye boredly yawned.

Konoha Village is now immensely powerful; whether an alliance is needed is no longer important.

Regardless of whether Rain Hidden Village exists, he is confident of gaining profit.

If Shanjiaoyu Banzang can move him with sincerity, that's another story.

"It's about time; we can set out now."

Nairan Benhe, noticing it was getting late, reminded them.

Naturally, the meeting place could not be at the Konoha camp.

Otherwise, Shanjiaoyu Banzang could come under the banner of an alliance and launch a surprise attack.

They would be blown up, wouldn't they?

Thus the meeting place was set in the area between Rain Hidden Village and the Konoha camp.

Other nations naturally learned of this.

Nairan Benhe specifically brought guards to prevent other nations from causing sabotage.

On the road, Lian Ye and his group indeed encountered some ambushed assassins surrounding them.

But they were just low-level fish, quickly cleared away.

Lian Ye glanced at the forehead guard, which belonged to a ninja from Iwagakure Village.

"Da Ye Mu, that Ai Dong Gua, only knows how to cause me trouble."

Nairan Benhe couldn't help feeling embarrassed; is it really good to slander a village's Kage like that?

One must know that a Kage is the leader of a ninja village.

Even ninjas from other villages generally would not slander another village's Kage.

Obviously, Lian Ye has no such concerns.

Not to mention insults; someday he might seize an opportunity and kill them.

Unfortunately, the lesson of being captured alive in Whirlpool Country.

Now the Kage of each village dare not appear casually on the Battlefield.

They merely stay holed up in the camp, fearing another capture…

Soon, the party arrived at the designated spot.

At this moment, outside the tent, several Rain Hidden ninjas wearing Gas Masks were on guard.

Konoha ninjas watched these Rain Hidden ninjas warily.

Fearing they might launch a sudden attack.

Lian Ye swaggered toward the tent, but was stopped by a Rain Hidden ninja at the entrance.

"Please wait a moment."

The Rain Hidden ninja produced several identical Gas Masks and patiently explained to him.

"Our leader's exhaled breath is highly toxic; please wear a mask before entering."

Lian Ye raised an eyebrow; has Banzang's toxin sac become stronger again?

Before, only he needed to wear a mask, but now others also have to.

No wonder it can temporarily fend off the joint assault of three ninja villages.

Seems they've made progress in using poison!

"Thank you."

Lian Ye without hesitation took the Gas Mask and put it on.

Although he has the ability to detoxify, doesn't he already have a ready-made Gas Mask?

One must learn to use tools.

Nairan Benhe, seeing this, also put on a Gas Mask.

The two lifted the tent cloth and entered.

Shanjiaoyu Banzang, seeing them come in, quickly rose from his chair.

"You've arrived."

When he saw Lian Ye leading, a flash of shock crossed his eyes.

He didn't expect that for an Alliance Ceremony, Konoha would send a Poison Master.

Back then he almost died at Lian Ye's hands.

However, by turning misfortune into fortune, since then he has been constantly crafting toxins.

Now he can temporarily resist the fierce assault of the ThreeKingdoms.

"Shanjiaoyu Banzang, long time no see!"

Lian Ye greeted warmly, as if meeting an old friend.

Nairan Benhe was a bit bewildered.

When did Renya Jonin meet the Rain Hidden Village leader?

How could they have never heard of this?

"Poison Master, we meet again," Shanjiaoyu Banzang said with emotion, "Thank you for sparing me back then."

If Lian Ye hadn't produced the Antidote at the last moment.

I'm afraid the grass on his grave would now be three meters tall.

"Actually, I never thought you'd survive; I can only say you have a tough fate,"

When Lian Ye produced the Antidote, the toxin had already spread throughout his body.

The chance of surviving after taking the Antidote is only twenty percent.

I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky; he survived even with such odds.

Perhaps his fate wasn't meant to end.

Shanjiaoyu Banzang heard that and the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.

He said it like that; what else can I say?

Fortunately, the emotionally intelligent Nairan Benhe sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.

"Rain Hidden Village Leader, this Alliance is under the full authority of Renya Jonin,"

Shanjiaoyu Banzang stared in disbelief, his mind momentarily glitching.

Letting Poison Master take full charge of the Alliance Ceremony—does Konoha Village have no one else?

He doesn't understand why a warrior would be tasked with something like this.

Is it that Konoha has no intention to cooperate but wants to kill him here?

So they sent Poison Master over.

Possible.

No!

It is very possible!

Shanjiaoyu Banzang's body tensed instantly; if the situation turned unfavorable, he'd break through.

He cannot die here.

The ninjas and civilians of Rain Hidden Village need him; the countless people of Rain Country need him!

Lian Ye, unaware of Banzang's thoughts at that moment, swaggered over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

And he placed his legs directly on the table.

His attitude could be described as extremely arrogant.

But Shanjiaoyu Banzang dared not show even a hint of displeasure.

He suspected Lian Ye was deliberately provoking him.

Then finding a reason to strike at him.

Shanjiaoyu Banzang pretended not to notice Lian Ye's arrogance, took an Alliance Document from his chest and placed it before him.

"Poison Master, we hope Rain Hidden Village and Konoha Village can form an alliance to jointly oppose the other ninja villages,"

Rain Hidden Village now desperately needs a strong supporting leg.

And the powerful Konoha is the best choice.

Shanjiaoyu Banzang knew clearly that even without an alliance with Rain Hidden Village, Konoha could still achieve ultimate victory.

But he wanted to try—what if it succeeded?

The Alliance Document on the table was handwritten by him, truly full of sincerity.

Rain Hidden Village is willing to give eighty percent of the post‑war reparations from the defeated nation to Konoha.

The remaining twenty percent isn't even enough to rebuild the village.

But they are still willing to hand over the vast majority of the benefits.

Who made it so Rain Hidden Village now has no choice?

If they don't ally with Konoha, they're not even a match for a few great powers.

Let alone the issue of post‑war reparations.

If Rain Hidden Village really loses, they might even have to pay money to the great powers.

Lian Ye isn't interested in the contents of the Alliance Document; he didn't even glance at it.

"What do you think, why should we ally with you?"

He fiddled with his ear and asked with interest.

Shanjiaoyu Banzang was momentarily stumped by the question and didn't answer right away.

"I'll give you the time of an incense stick; if you can move me, I might consider..."
