Chapter 459: Plan? What Is a Plan?

In short, the nations of the Ninja World are after the culprit who captured the Tailed Beasts.

They voluntarily united to protect the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure Village.

As for why they don't protect Konoha Village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

That's because the villages tacitly believe the culprit is from Konoha.

After all, the leader of Longyin Village witnessed the culprit possessing a pair of Sharingan.

Even if Konoha doesn't admit it, it serves no purpose.

The other villages cannot allow Konoha to gather all the Tailed Beasts, so they collectively decided to come to Kirigakure Village to protect these last two Jinchuriki.

They can be without Tailed Beasts, but they cannot let Konoha have them!

Now Konoha has already collected seven Tailed Beasts; they must not let Konoha snatch the remaining two.

"Hokage, aren't you being excessive?"

The newly appointed Fourth Mizukage stared with a grim expression at Qianshou Feijian and his party.

Who in the Ninja World doesn't know Konoha's wolfish ambitions?

They claim to protect Kirigakure Village's Jinchuriki, but in reality it's just to relay information to the behind‑the‑scenes culprit of the Uchiha.

Therefore the Kages of the various nations have little goodwill toward Qianshou Feijian and his companions.

These newly appointed Kages are all young, harboring deep hatred toward Konoha Village's ninjas, so naturally they have no goodwill toward them.

All young people are like that; their emotions are written on their faces.

The war has only just ended, and the hatred it spawned has not yet dissipated.

But that cannot be blamed on them; three Kages died on the Battlefield, and the younger generation is still thin on experience.

The dead remain dead, the wounded remain wounded.

They are essentially taking command in a crisis.

Qianshou Feijian, of course, does not quibble with them, and says calmly,

"We sincerely come to protect the personal safety of your village's Jinchuriki, with no malice."

Obviously, these young Kages sneer at his words.

Fortunately, Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman promptly stepped forward as a mediator, smiling at the few and saying,

"I trust the character of the Second Hokage; he would never do such a thing, so there must be some misunderstanding."

His seasoned cunning in judging the situation is certainly different from that of these youngsters.

Provoking Konoha brings no benefit.

Even if they know Konoha is secretly capturing Tailed Beasts, they cannot show it openly.

Otherwise, tearing the face would be of no benefit to them.

Konoha is now too powerful to be provoked at all.

These youngsters have forgotten Konoha's strength.

In the Second Ninja World War, the only one of the Five Great Nations that did not participate was Sunagakure Village.

In hindsight, Sunagakure Village was fortunate not to have joined.

Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman was immensely relieved that he had not accepted the Third Tsuchikage's alliance invitation at the time.

Otherwise his fate would not have been any better.

Who could have imagined Lian Ye facing the assault of three Kages alone and still managing a counter‑kill?

He's practically a second Madara Uchiha!

He has reason to suspect that the one secretly capturing the Tailed Beasts is Yuzhi Bo Lianye!

Sha Men, expression unchanged, glanced at the Konoha ninja behind Qianshou Feijian.

Information about Konoha's strongmen is no longer a secret, especially those disciples of Qianshou Feijian.

Third Hokage Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, Hokage Assistant Yuanfei Rizhan, Hokage Advisor Zhuan Qin Xiaochun, and Shuihu Menyan.

But there is no Yuzhi Bo Lianye nor Uchiha Jing.

The case is finally solved.

There is more than one Uchiha involved in capturing the Tailed Beasts, no wonder they can silently whisk away the Jinchuriki.

Sha Men instantly grasped the cause and effect of the matter.

But he did not show it.

Even if they know who the culprit is, what can they do?

Given their current overall strength, truly tearing the face would only result in being crushed by Konoha.

Rather than that, it's better to pretend ignorance and continue playing along with Konoha.

The reason Qianshou Feijian sends people to assist is merely to create an alibi.

With the Wind Shadow acting as a mediator, the atmosphere in the venue eases somewhat.

"Teacher Feijian, does Lian Ye really dare to capture a Jinchuriki?"

Yuanfei Rizhan looked at the densely packed Ninja Alliance around him and couldn't help but ask back.

Lian Ye that guy, seeing so many people raise their hands, should give up, right?

Although Lian Ye's power is great, it doesn't mean he can, in front of so many ninjas, smoothly snatch the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

Most likely he won't even get a chance to see the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

"I believe he will come."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang scanned the surroundings, trying to spot his friend's figure.

He thinks Lian Ye that guy won't play by the usual rules and may appear openly before them.

When few people are present, he acts stealthily; when many are present, he acts openly.

Who let that guy be threatened by Madara Uchiha?

Qianshou Feijian expressed approval of Tuan Cang's statement.

He has reason to suspect that Lian Ye deliberately sent them to Kirigakure Village to protect the jinchuriki.

Perhaps this is the scene he wanted to see.

"Lord Lian Ye, what should we do?"

A Fei anxiously looked at Lian Ye, who was lying on a reef basking in the sun.

What time is this, still sunbathing?

Shouldn't we be discussing how to deal with that Ninja Alliance in Kirigakure Village right now?

If we fail to capture the Tailed Beast on time, Ban Daye will definitely unleash his fury.

The consequences would certainly be severe.

"Why are you panicking? We'll talk when night falls."

Daytime isn't a good time to act; we'll wait until the night is dark and windy.

Anyway, the success rate is zero; everything is proceeding according to plan.

If we really can't catch the Tailed Beast, what can Ban Daye do to us?

A Fei, seeing Lian Ye's indifferent demeanor, felt a flash of expectation in his eyes. Could it be that Lord Lian Ye has already devised a meticulous plan?

Lord Lian Ye truly lives up to being Lord Ban's capable aide.

So he had already thought of a solution; it's a shame he worried for half a day earlier.

He really scared himself!

In reality, it was just A Fei's own imagination; Lian Ye has no plan at all.

If we must speak of a plan, it's simply to delay as much as possible. Ideally, delay until Madara Uchiha needs a cane to walk.

Thus, Lian Ye lay on the reef sunbathing all day. A Fei stayed by his side, awaiting his performance at night.

Once the Six-Tails is captured, only the Nine-Tails remains.

As for the dead Three-Tails, it should revive soon!

When night fell, Lian Ye finally set off for Kirigakure Village.

More precisely, he headed to a ninja camp not far from Kirigakure Village.

A Fei told him that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was hidden inside.

Around the night tents, the lights remained bright, and countless ninja camps patrolled the area.

"It's really lively,"

Lian Ye hid in a distant big tree, observing the patrolling ninja below.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki resides in the central tent.

He wants to slip in silently, which is utterly impossible.

As soon as he shows up, he'll be discovered.

It seems this group is determined not to let me take the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Lord Lian Ye, what is your plan?"

A Fei asked cautiously.

Seeing Lord Lian Ye so leisurely during the day, he must have already devised a meticulous plan.

Lian Ye looked at A Fei puzzledly, and asked puzzledly.

"Plan? What is a plan?"

Saying that, he jumped down from the tree and swaggered toward the camp.

Leaving only A Fei alone, disheveled in the wind.
