Chapter 469: Tuan Cang's New Friend

"Mysterious man! It's that mysterious man!"

"Stop him, stop him now!"

The surrounding ninja immediately reacted upon seeing this; some stayed behind to deal with Bai Jue, while the rest surged forward to surround Lian Ye in the middle.

The Five Kage, having received word, rushed over quickly.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's expression turned grave as he looked at the mysterious man and questioned coldly.

"You bastard, you've been found out and you still won't run?!"

He remembered that Lian Ye had been injured just a few days ago, and now he was back to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

He must have been forced by Madara Uchiha.

He could already imagine the scene of Lian Ye failing the capture and being scolded by Madara Uchiha.

It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to deal with Madara Uchiha.

He couldn't let him continue to harm Lian Ye.

No one was allowed to hurt his friend, not even Madara Uchiha!

Anyone who dared to harm Lian Ye, he would eliminate them one by one!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's words were meant to remind his friend to run now, while he still could, or it would be hard to escape once surrounded.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, a fine tactic!" the Fourth Mizukage sneered. "But don't you underestimate our Ninja Alliance too much!"

"Why waste words with him? Just take him down!" The Third Raikage's body flickered with Lightning Radiance as he turned into a blue streak of lightning charging at Lian Ye.

This time, he was determined to capture the mysterious man in one fell swoop.

No matter how strong the mysterious man was, he probably couldn't be a match for the Five Kage and thousands of ninja in the alliance!

Under the joint assault of the Five Great Nations, the mysterious man had no choice but to surrender!

"Let's go!" The Fourth Mizukage called out and quickly moved to support the Raikage.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him find a chance to escape!" The Fourth Tsuchikage instructed the Ninja Alliance, then joined the Battlefield as well.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind the two beside him.

"Hokage, Kazekage, come help!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's face darkened as he watched the three charging at Lian Ye, his fists clenching unconsciously.

What a joke!

These three were actually inviting him to go after his own good brother!

It was like rubbing salt in his wound; there was no way he could do such a thing!

"Hokage, should we go?" the Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman asked tentatively.

These three greenhorns didn't know the mysterious man's identity, but how could he, an old hand who had been Kazekage for decades, not know?

Yuzhi Bo Lianye could single-handedly kill the veteran Three Kage; dealing with these three newly appointed greenhorns would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Besides, the Hokage hadn't made a move, so he wouldn't either.

Otherwise, if Yuzhi Bo Lianye got carried away in the fight and killed him too, what then?

He was almost at retirement age; better not take this risk.

It could only be said that those who had survived from the Warring States Period all had some real skill.

Those who couldn't read the situation were already buried with grass several meters high over their graves.

No, some unlucky ones didn't even have a proper grave...

"Why are you asking me?!" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said irritably. "If you want to go, then go!"

This Kazekage guy had been following him around all day; he didn't know what was wrong with him.

He even had to ask about something like this!

Didn't he know he was already annoyed enough?

"I'll follow the Hokage's decision on this matter," Sha Men said with an awkward smile.

The real reason he followed Tuan Cang around was for self-preservation.

As long as he stuck behind the Hokage and muddled through, Yuzhi Bo Lianye wouldn't attack him.

This was survival experience from the older generation; those young kids just didn't understand...

The battle in the field continued.

Facing the siege of the Three Kage alone, Lian Ye handled it with great ease.

The gap between these three young ones and the previous Three Kage was huge; they were at the Elite Jonin Rank.

If Lian Ye wanted to, he could kill all three on the spot.

But he didn't do that; killing them would bring him no benefit.

It was better to keep them to increase the mission's difficulty.

Lian Ye subconsciously looked at Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Kazekage Sha Men standing in the distance.

These two were practically slacking off in plain sight!

Also, since when had Tuan Cang and the Kazekage become so close?

He had infiltrated the camp twice, and each time he saw the two standing shoulder to shoulder.

It gave the impression that they had a good relationship.

That bastard Tuan Cang had actually made a new friend behind his back.

"Bastard!" The Third Raikage, seeing that Lian Ye still had the mind to look elsewhere, clearly not taking them seriously, was furious.

"No matter who you are, I'll tear off that Mask!" The Fourth Mizukage condensed a Water Blade and slashed at Lian Ye's mask.

"Heh, you're not worthy of knowing my identity."

Lian Ye merely tilted his head slightly to dodge the sharp Water Blade, then immediately sent the Mizukage flying with a roundhouse kick.

"Mizukage!" Fourth Tsuchikage, seeing his comrade kicked away, instinctively turned his head and saw two people idly fishing nearby.

"Hokage, Wind Shadow, what are you looking at? Hurry over and help!"

After a brief clash, he realized that three people alone could not match the mysterious person.

Only a combined force of five plus the Ninja Alliance could possibly defeat the mysterious person!

"All Elite Jonin, come over and help!"

Elite Jonin from Kirigakure Village, Earth Hidden Village, and Iwagakure Village rushed toward Lian Ye at once. Only the Konoha Village and Sunagakure ninjas still gave no response.

"Hokage, he's urging us?" Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman said weakly.

The subtext was:... this is too staged, we have to go up and show our faces.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang naturally understood the Wind Shadow's meaning and ordered in a deep voice, "Konoha ninjas, don't act rashly; I alone can go up!"

He didn't want Konoha ninjas to go up and cause trouble for Lian Ye.

Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman copied the move, and after ordering his subordinates, followed Tuan Cang up to provide support.

"Lian Ye this guy..." Yuanfei Rizhan murmured softly.

"Tuan Cang really worries about Lian Yejun," Xiaochun Zhuanqin said with a smile.

They had been at the camp for several weeks, and Konoha ninjas kept openly goofing off.

One could say there's no acting left at all.

Anyone with eyes can see that the mysterious person is inseparably linked to their Konoha...

"But I'm curious, why has Wind Shadow been sticking to Tuan Cang these days?"

Shuihu Menyan stared at Sha Men's silhouette and finally asked the lingering doubt in his heart.

Yuanfei Rizhan and Xiaochun Zhuanqin: "…"

Indeed, they never considered this question!

Lian Ye isn't a Sunagakure ninja, so why doesn't Wind Shadow strike him?

Perhaps only Wind Shadow himself knows the answer.

"Tsk tsk, just a bunch of small fry."

Lian Ye was surrounded in the middle by dozens of Elite Jonin, his tone full of contempt.

This time they'll kill some people first, then make a hasty retreat.

So that Ban Daye won't notice any clue!

Against these enemy-country ninjas, Lian Ye kills without any burden.

Of course, he's not powerful enough to casually slaughter a group of Elite Jonin.

As more Elite Jonin arrived, he began to feel somewhat strained.

When facing five opponents alone he was still at ease, but against ten he started to struggle.

Against fifteen, he was completely overwhelmed.
