Chapter 468: White Zetsu Army

Lian Ye had little reaction to A Fei's plan.

Although the plan is fairly feasible, with him as a double agent, success is out of the question.

He only needs to ease off a bit during the process, which will lower the plan's success rate.

Of course, he must not be too obvious.

Otherwise A Fei will notice easily, and then blaming Ban Daye will be hard to explain.

He must give it the illusion of almost succeeding; only then can the act be truly realistic!

Lian Ye watched A Fei's hurried departing figure, a faint smile curling under his mask.

A Fei, you're still too naive!

While A Fei was gathering companions, Lian Ye found a suitable spot to bask in the sun.

Sunbathing regularly is good for the body.

Ban Daye stays every day in the dark, damp Underground Space; staying too long will inevitably cause problems.

Things like old cold legs, arthritis!

Lian Ye doesn't want to end up like Ban Daye, all riddled with oxygen tubes when he grows old.

Living like that would be meaningless, right?

He still envisions enjoying a good life forty or fifty years from now.

Ideally he could walk without a limp and not have to spend money hiring caretakers.

The most important thing is to stay optimistic, so he can live longer!

Cheerfully spending his final moments…

If it really comes to this, at least the trip wasn't in vain.

If he doesn't want to die then, he could use Impure Earth Reincarnation and Ban Daye's Rinnegan.

Live another life!

While Lian Ye was daydreaming about the future, A Fei arrived with several hundred Bai Jue.

"Lord Lian Ye, we have returned!"

Lian Ye looked up at the several hundred Bai Jue behind A Fei and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

They only brought a few hundred Bai Jue?

But that's fine; the chance of mission failure becomes larger!

A Fei seemed to notice Lian Ye's doubt and awkwardly scratched his head.

"Lord Lian Ye, the other Bai Jue are too far from Water Country; I could only gather this many in a short time…"

It thought Lian Ye might be displeased with the number of Bai Jue, so it explained cautiously.

"It's fine, these are enough," Lian Ye said calmly.

He had just worried about how to act more realistically if thousands of Bai Jue arrived.

Now there are only a few hundred Bai Jue, which is much easier.

A few hundred Bai Jue against thousands of Ninja Alliance, defeat is inevitable!

"According to the plan, we set out!"

Lian Ye waved his hand broadly, signaling the White Zetsu troops behind him to depart.

"Copy!" A Fei hurriedly ordered the White Zetsu Army to follow.

Ninja Alliance Camp.

"What… is that thing?!"

"Is it a new enemy? I've never seen it before…"

"Is it some kind of cloning technique? Or a puppet?"

A few dozen pure‑white humanoid creatures suddenly appeared not far from the patrolling ninjas.

Their appearances were almost identical, bodies smooth like wax statues, facial features blurred, with no obvious gender traits.

From a distance they looked extremely eerie.

Not only the outer patrolling ninjas saw them, but they also appeared before the ninjas inside.

The Ninja Alliance erupted with uncontrollable shouts and chaos.

They had never seen anything so bizarre, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Five silhouettes appeared almost simultaneously before the Ninja Alliance formation, the Five Kage!

They stared at the successive Bai Jue appearing ahead, their faces filled with shock and solemnity.

"What is... this?" Fourth Mizukage's eyes were full of astonishment: "A creature never seen before... its chakra feels strange."

"Hmph, playing tricks!" Third Raikage's fists cracked, but deep in his eyes lay a hint of wariness.

Humans have always been full of curiosity and fear toward the unfamiliar.

"Everyone be careful, this could be the mysterious person's backup!" Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman said, while subconsciously glancing at Zhi Cun Tuan Cang.

When did Konoha Village develop such a thing?

Not to mention, it looks terribly weird.

He always thought these were just Konoha Village's pretext to capture a Tailed Beast.

Whatever Madara Uchiha, white creatures, they're all Uchiha Lianye's conspiracy!

But he guessed wrong; Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's face was full of solemnity.

He had never seen a Bai Jue before, and guessed in his mind that it was a backup prepared by Madara Uchiha!

"Everyone, don't be careless; clear these things up!"

Following the Five Kage's command, the Ninja Alliance immediately snapped out of their earlier shock.

Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release.

Various Ninjutsu, like brilliant fireworks, poured toward the countless Bai Jue that suddenly appeared on the ground.

The Explosive Talisman's blast, the whoosh of Kunai and Shuriken cutting the air, and the odd "pupu" sound when Bai Jue were hit instantly rang around the camp.

The Bai Jue, using their unique floating technique, darted agilely through the underground and trees, popping out now and then to launch ambushes.

Their vitality was also quite tenacious, causing the Ninja Alliance some trouble and casualties.

But their combat power was limited; under the organized counterattack of the Ninja World Alliance, their numbers were decreasing at a visibly rapid rate.

The battle entered a fierce stalemate, and everyone's eyes and attention were firmly drawn to the abruptly appearing white humanoid creatures.

Shouts of killing, explosions, and commands filled the entire camp.

Under the cover of this chaos, a black shadow swept past the outermost guard line of the Alliance camp at breakneck speed.

It triggered no Jutsu Barrier alarm and drew no ninja's notice.

Lian Ye cleverly exploited the attention blind spot created by the Bai Jue attack on the whole camp, slipping silently into its interior.

"Lord Lian Ye, please follow me!"

A Fei's body slipped into the ground, exposing only half a head to guide Lian Ye.

The two, with a clear goal, marched straight toward the tent where the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was.

Lian Ye's expression beneath the Mask was rather grim.

He hadn't expected that merely a few hundred Bai Jue could successfully draw the Ninja Alliance's attention.

Are these people all fools?

They can't even see such an obvious ruse!

If no one notices any longer, he'll soon find the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

By then, there'll be no chance to act.

"Lord Lian Ye, we're about to succeed!"

A Fei said excitedly.

It just said its plan could succeed!

It was already eager to take Lian Ye to the Six-Tails Jinchuriki's hideout.

The excited A Fei paid no attention at all to Lian Ye's grim expression.

But it couldn't see even if it tried, since Lian Ye was wearing a Mask.

Damn bastard, it can't really… let it succeed!

They were about to enter the camp's interior, still not having noticed his trail.

These people's eyes could be donated.

To be honest, Lian Ye was somewhat inclined to take A Fei down himself.

Fortunately, someone finally noticed him.

A ninja who had just slain a Bai Jue ahead caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in his peripheral vision.

"Who?!"

The commotion here instantly drew the surrounding people's attention, their gazes turning toward it.
