Chapter 627

But just at this moment, his gaze suddenly flickered, he stood up, walked to the window, pulled open a corner of the curtain, and looked toward a certain direction outside.

In that direction.

One could vaguely see ninjas fighting each other. One side of the ninjas was wearing Konoha headbands, while the other side of the ninjas he felt vaguely familiar with.

On the streets of the small town.

There were about a dozen ninjas wearing Konoha headbands, while the ninjas on the other side were wearing Rain Village headbands, with fewer than ten people.

"Stop!"

"You are Konoha ninjas, right? What are you trying to do by attacking this town?! There are no Rain Village ninjas here, only innocent civilians!"

Yahiko gritted his teeth and spoke to the ninjas opposite while blocking attacks.

However, the Konoha ninjas opposite ignored him completely, launching attacks with cold expressions. Their moves were extremely fierce, and in an instant, they were in precarious situations.

"Damn it..."

"They aren't responding at all..."

Seeing that the other side didn't respond at all, Yahiko couldn't help but grit his teeth.

On the other side, Konan was surrounded by three people, manipulating paper shurikens for defense, while looking at Yahiko and saying, "Yahiko, what should we do?!"

If they continued to fight, the people here were no match for them, but if they retreated now, this small town would probably be destroyed by the other side immediately.

Yahiko gritted his teeth, unable to make a choice for a moment.

"Earth Release! Earth Core!"

Suddenly, a ninja used an Earth Release ninjutsu, and Konan, caught off guard, was immediately lifted into the air by the earth rising beneath her feet.

A ninja holding a short sword killed his way over from the side, piercing Konan's body, but immediately after, Konan's body turned into countless paper scraps and scattered.

"Yahiko, this won't work!"

A ninja spoke to Yahiko, saying, "Let's retreat, we can't stop them!"

Yahiko manipulated Water Release ninjutsu to block the attacks of the ninjas in front of him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it... how could this be... Konoha ninjas..."

And just at this moment.

A voice suddenly came from a rooftop to the side.

"Which unit are you from, and what mission are you executing?"

This voice made Yahiko startle, and the Konoha ninjas also looked over together.

They saw a figure appear on the railing above the rooftop at some point. The figure wore a conical hat and a Konoha ninja headband, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, not much different from Yahiko and the others at this time.

But.

Although his age was not much different from Yahiko and the others, his tone and demeanor when speaking were as if a superior was questioning a subordinate, speaking very calmly.

Lu Chen's appearance caused the situation on the field to pause briefly. Yahiko looked at Lu Chen, his brows slightly furrowed, and a doubtful thought immediately emerged in his mind.

Who is he?

Nagato, Konan, and the others had also noticed the abnormality, looking at Lu Chen with suspicion and uncertainty, because those 'Konoha ninjas' who were attacking them had almost all stopped their actions.

"Silver Flash?!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
