Chapter 460: Fish, meet your end

"Plan? What is a plan?"

A Fei stared at Lian Ye, who was unabashedly marching toward the camp, and froze in place for a moment.

It turned out that Lord Lian Ye had no plan at all.

Or rather, his plan was to launch a fierce assault on the Ninja Alliance camp and, in front of all the ninjas, seize the Six-Tails jinchuriki.

But a moment's thought reveals that there is absolutely no chance of success.

In other words, tonight's mission is doomed to fail.

A Fei has already thought about how to explain it to Lord Ban. It's not that he isn't trying his best; it's the sheer number of the Ninja Alliance.

Lord Lian Ye alone is simply no match…

"Stop! Who are you?!"

Lian Ye had just leapt down from a tree when patrolling ninjas spotted him.

When those words were spoken, countless ninjas looked toward Lian Ye's position. It is now the critical period for protecting the Tailed Beast, and no one may approach the camp.

Especially with Lian Ye's attire, he quickly drew the attention of the Five Kage, who appeared en masse at the camp entrance.

"Is this guy the mysterious person secretly capturing Tailed Beasts?"

Second Kazekage Sha Men glanced at the mysterious figure wearing a white Uzumaki Mask, then calmly observed Qianshou Feijian's reaction.

Unfortunately, there was no expression on his face at all, as if he didn't recognize the mysterious figure at all.

To that, Sha Men could only remark that he truly is a veteran actor.

But sometimes having no reaction is the biggest reaction.

In that case, this mysterious person must be Yuzhi Bo Lianye, or perhaps Uchiha Jing.

When the fight breaks out, he plans to let Sand Hidden Village ninjas hide behind Konoha and loaf around.

He believes the mysterious person will not proactively attack Konoha ninjas, and thus the Sand Hidden Village ninjas can also escape danger.

The Second Ninja World War made Sha Men deeply aware of Konoha's strength.

He knows that opposing Konoha brings no benefit, so it's better to let the mysterious person snatch the Six-Tails jinchuriki.

After all, Kirigakure Village has two Tailed Beasts, yet it still isn't a match for Konoha.

Frankly, Yuzhi Bo Lianye killing a jinchuriki is like playing around.

Whether he does or not makes little difference.

If other ninja villages hadn't taken part in protecting the jinchuriki, he wouldn't even bother to join.

Shou He is long gone.

Perhaps this is Konoha Village's plot, aiming to wipe them out in one net.

In short, don't provoke Konoha.

"Tsk tsk, so many people!"

Lian Ye's deep voice came through the mask, revealing not a hint of panic.

It seemed as if he didn't regard the Ninja Alliance at all.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and the others, upon seeing the mysterious person, immediately recognized his identity.

That hair, that figure—if not Lian Ye, who else could it be?

But the few said nothing, pretending not to know him.

"Who on earth are you?!"

The newly appointed Fourth Mizukage stepped forward first to question, his face a steely blue as he stared at the mysterious person.

"What is your purpose in secretly capturing Tailed Beasts?!"

Most of the Ninja World's Tailed Beasts have been captured, leaving only the Six-Tails and Nine-Tails now.

As the village's Mizukage, he must not let Konoha's plot succeed!

If he were alone, he would never dare speak to the mysterious person like this.

But the Ninja Alliance behind him gave him great courage.

"Ha ha, who I am is irrelevant; as for my purpose in capturing Tailed Beasts…" Lian Ye's only visible eyes turned scarlet, "Of course it's to bring true peace to the Ninja World!"

"Ninja World peace?" The crowd clearly didn't understand what he meant.

How does capturing Tailed Beasts directly relate to achieving peace in the Ninja World?

"You ignorant fools, once I collect all the Tailed Beasts, I can enact the 'Moon's Eye' Plan, pulling you into the Genjutsu World where you'll spend a happy life!"

Lian Ye used this opportunity to spill all the concrete details.

The only reason is to increase the game's difficulty.

"Moon's Eye Plan!"

The crowd instantly recalled the news from years ago that Konoha had claimed Madara Uchiha was still alive.

And the secret scheme he was plotting was the 'Moon's Eye' Plan.

At first, they were all worried upon hearing the news, but later there was no further word about Ban.

Gradually, they forgot about it.

Now that the mysterious person mentioned it, they all reacted.

"Madara Uchiha, you are Madara Uchiha!"

"No, Madara Uchiha isn't that young!"

Although the mysterious person didn't show his face, his build and appearance didn't look elderly.

"So the prerequisite for enacting the 'Moon's Eye' Plan is to collect all the Tailed Beasts?"

Qianshou Feijian murmured thoughtfully.

That would explain why Madara Uchiha wants Lian Ye to secretly capture Tailed Beasts.

It turns out the prerequisite for carrying out the "Moon's Eye" plan is to collect all the Tailed Beasts!

In other words, as long as the remaining Tailed Beasts are protected.

Madara Uchiha's plan cannot succeed!

The Kages present instantly understood, then warily looked at the mysterious person.

Lian Ye saw everyone's reaction and knew his words had taken effect.

He must make them understand the importance of the Tailed Beasts, then tighten vigilance for twenty‑four hours.

That would raise his difficulty infinitely.

If he hadn't said that, he could only have delayed matters by half a year.

But having said it, he can delay at least a year or more.

Unless Ban Daye cannot help but intervene himself, it cannot be resolved in a short time.

Or they could simply trigger the Third Shinobi World War.

The two of them would fight against everyone in the Ninja World!

"Capture him, do not let him escape!"

The Fourth Mizukage immediately issued an order, and Kirigakure ninjas poured out at once, intending to defeat the mysterious person with a sea‑of‑people tactic.

Seeing this, the Fourth Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage hurriedly ordered their own ninjas to go support.

Only Konoha and Sunagakure held their positions.

The Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman, upon seeing the scene, knew his conjecture was correct.

The mysterious person is a Konoha individual.

As for the so‑called "Moon's Eye" plan, it is merely Konoha's excuse.

Without saying that, what reason would there be to Capture and Seize Tail Beast?

Konoha Village really is good at scheming; fortunately he had already sensed something was off.

He did not foolishly send anyone forward.

If nothing unexpected occurs, those who charge at the front have only a dead end.

His gaze fell on the Battlefield, and it was quickly fulfilled.

"You minnows, die!"

Facing ninjas surging from all directions like a tide, Lian Ye not only did not retreat, but actively charged forward.

He rushed into the crowd like a phantom, his figure as fast as lightning.

Kunai, Shuriken, long swords… countless attacks came at him, yet none even brushed his coat.

His Sharingan had already seen through every attack trajectory, each time perfectly evading all attacks.

His movements were fluid and natural, like a blade tip dancing.

While dodging a massive downward slash, he twisted his wrist, seized the opponent's wrist, and with a slight force wrested the long sword.

A flash of blade, a reverse swing!

Pfft

The ninja stared in disbelief at the blood gushing from his chest and collapsed in a heap.

ps: You guy have done it again at the third watch, really awesome, happy Mid‑Autumn Festival everyone, eek eek eek…
