Chapter 1464

How regrettable!

Hikari of Mount Hōrai stretched lazily and sighed softly.

"I can send you to meet Ōtsutsuki Hikari! Do you want to go?"

Su Han glanced at Hikari of Mount Hōrai; although Ōtsutsuki Hikari was sealed, for Su Han, meeting her was not difficult at all.

"Nah, forget it!"

Hikari of Mount Hōrai was instantly speechless, a flustered smile appearing on her face.

She hastily shook her head.

"But come to think of it! When Hikari of Mount Hōrai dresses up a bit, she's terrifyingly beautiful—she doesn't even seem like a human species."

Tony rubbed his chin, sizing up Hikari of Mount Hōrai, his tone filled with wonder.

"I, by nature, am not a human species!"

Hikari of Mount Hōrai said nothing; she was the Princess of the Moon, daughter of the Moon God Tsukuyomi, and in every sense, had no connection to humans.

"...... I know you're telling the truth, but I still feel like you're insulting me!"

Even the stoic Xuan Wo Changmen's lips twitched slightly.

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense."

Su Han glanced at both of them; they instantly fell silent.

Su Han then looked at Bofengshui Sect, "You need to prepare yourself!"

Bofengshui Sect sensed what was coming, his expression turning serious, and nodded; he quickly formed several hand seals and activated Yin-Yang Release.

Black radiance spread from his body, enveloping the bodies of the numerous Edo Tensei warriors before him.

Xuan Wo Changmen also raised his hand expressionlessly; black rods coalesced one by one in his palm, then he hurled them outward.

They pierced through the bodies of the Edo Tensei warriors, further sealing their chakra flow.

These...... black rods are also an application of Yin-Yang Release.

Seeing that everything here was mostly in order, Su Han nodded, then closed his eyes and clicked "Complete Task."

The next instant, brilliant light swirled around Su Han and all the Zhuduogong Society members; in a single breath, Su Han and the others vanished.

"Have they left?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a hollow loss; compared to the last time Su Han and the others departed, his emotions toward them this time were far more complex.

He no longer resisted them as he once had.

Yet in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and said nothing more.

Jiraiya scanned Bofengshui Sect and Xuan Wo Changmen, a flicker of thought passing through his eyes.

He keenly sensed that his two disciples had further strengthened their power.

"...... The Chosen One! Perhaps Bofengshui Sect and Xuan Wo Changmen can truly be called Children of Fate! The Great Toad Sage's prophecy may have been mistaken—but in the end, it aligned perfectly."

Jiraiya paused, then shook his head bitterly; he himself didn't know what emotions he held now.

Bofengshui Sect surveyed the numerous Edo Tensei.

In the instant Su Han vanished, the Adamant Chains binding the Edo Tensei warriors disappeared.

Yet on their bodies remained either the black rods thrown by Xuan Wo Changmen or the Yin Seal techniques cast by Bofengshui Sect.

Thus, even without the Adamant Chains, they could not move.

"Bofengshui Sect! What will you do next?"

Xuan Wo Changmen turned to look at Bofengshui Sect.

"I was originally planning to eliminate all external threats before considering that plan—but now... I think that plan has already begun."

Bofengshui Sect's smile slowly faded; his gaze remained fixed on the group of former top-tier ninja before him, his eyes filled with complexity.

"...... The Ninja Alliance Plan?"

Xuan Wo Changmen asked, and after a long silence, whispered, "I told you before that we should execute this plan... but last time you rejected it. Why are you preparing to carry it out now?"

"Last time, we still had external threats! But now, Black Zetsu is already dead."

"What else is there to worry about?"

Bofengshui Sect countered, then pointed to the shadows before him, a faint smile on his lips.

"Besides! I've already thought of a reason to start war and subdue those bastards."

Xuan Wo Changmen nodded slightly and spoke bluntly, "What help do you need? Just tell me."

... In the blink of an eye, Su Han returned to his room.

As soon as he landed, he sensed many people bustling in the kitchen; he raised an eyebrow and strode forward, opening the door.

................ Then Su Han saw countless Ram and Lei Mu hurrying about.

He used "countless" because there were too many Ram and Lei Mu—they were all shadow clones.

"Ram, Lei Mu! Have you finished today's training?"

Su Han nodded to the Ram and Lei Mu shadow clones in the hall.

His voice was calm.

"Master! Yes."

All the shadow clones halted, turned, and bowed slightly to Su Han.

Then they resumed their work.

Soon after, Ram's true body arrived, performing a maid's curtsey before Su Han, "Master, the meal will be ready soon."

Su Han nodded, but he immediately heard Ram's inner thoughts—she was pondering how to persuade him to move.

This wasn't because Ram wanted a luxurious house... but because Su Han's appetite had increased dramatically; now Ram and Lei Mu had to use shadow clones just to prepare meals large enough for him.

So Ram was considering whether they should move into a larger house—or whether she should use Earth Release to demolish nearby villas and rebuild a massive castle-like mansion; otherwise, too many shadow clones would be cramped.
