Konoha: The Foundation's revelation at the outset shocks the world.

But at that moment, his eyes suddenly flickered, he stood up, walked to the window, pulled back a corner of the curtain, and looked in a certain direction outside.

In that direction.

He could vaguely see ninjas fighting each other. One of the ninjas was wearing a Konoha headband, while the other ninja looked vaguely familiar to him.

……

On the streets of the small town.

There were about a dozen ninjas wearing Konoha headbands, while there were fewer than ten ninjas wearing Amegakure headbands on the other side.

"stop!"

"You're Konoha ninjas, aren't you? What are you trying to do by attacking this town?! There are no Amegakure ninjas here, only innocent civilians!"

While parrying the attacks, Yahiko gritted his teeth and spoke to the ninja opposite him.

However, the Konoha ninjas on the other side completely ignored them, launching attacks with a cold expression and extremely fierce moves, instantly putting them in grave danger.

"hateful……"

"Completely ignoring it..."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond at all, Yahiko gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, Konan, surrounded by three people, was manipulating paper shuriken for defense while looking at Yahiko and saying, "Yahiko, what should we do?!"

If the fighting continues, their people are no match for them, but if they retreat now, the town will likely be destroyed by the enemy immediately.

Yahiko gritted his teeth, finding it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

"Earth Escape! Earthquake Core!"

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

A ninja wielding a short sword attacked from the side, piercing Konan's body, but then Konan's body turned into countless pieces of paper and scattered.

"Yahiko, this can't go on!"

One of the ninjas said to Yahiko, "Let's retreat. We can't stop them!"

Yahiko manipulated his water-style ninjutsu to defend against the attacks of the ninja in front of him, gritting his teeth as he said, "Damn it... How could this happen... Konoha ninjas..."

And at this time.

A voice suddenly came from a rooftop on one side.

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

The voice startled Yahiko, and he and the other Konoha ninjas looked over as well.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the railing above the roof. The figure wore a straw hat and a Konoha ninja headband, and looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, not much different from Yahiko and the others at this time.

but.

Despite being around the same age as Yahiko and the others, he spoke in a very calm tone and manner, as if a superior were questioning a subordinate.

Lu Chen's appearance brought the situation to a brief standstill. Yahiko looked at Lu Chen, his brows furrowed, and a question suddenly popped into his mind.

Who is he?

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

"Silver Flash?!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Chapter 233 You Will Die

After recognizing Lu Chen's identity, some people immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and their eyes revealed a hint of tension and horror. They never expected to encounter Konoha's Silver Flash in the Land of Rain!

Seeing this group of 'Konoha ninjas' immediately flee at the slightest provocation, Lu Chen already understood the situation and coldly said, "They really aren't Konoha ninjas..."

Although it was during a war, Konoha would never send a team of ninjas to indiscriminately attack towns in the Land of Rain and kill innocent civilians.

Even if Danzo ordered Root to do this, they would definitely disguise themselves as ninjas from other villages and frame them, not act under the name of Konoha.

Obviously.

The ninjas who attacked the town were not from Konoha at all.

"Can you escape?"

A cold glint appeared in Lu Chen's eyes, and a flash of silver light appeared in an instant.

laugh! ! !

Under the shocked gazes of Yahiko, Konan, and the others, a silver streak flashed through the street in an instant, passing by the dozen or so 'Konoha ninjas' without stopping.

The dozen or so ninjas who were fleeing all froze in place.

Almost everyone's eyes showed horror and fear. They tried to do something more, but they could no longer do it. Their bodies were all cut off, and blood sprayed to the ground!

Puff!

The numerous ninjas who were cut in two by Lu Chen all burst into puffs of white smoke, their Konoha ninja appearances disappearing and replaced by the clothing of Sunagakure ninjas.

"Ninjas from Sunagakure..."

"It seems they don't intend to withdraw from the war so easily."

Lu Chen stopped not far away, sheathed his Kusanagi sword, and turned around to look at the many Sand Ninja lying dead on the ground.

The silvery light from the bath dissipated silently.

then.

Lu Chen looked up in the direction where Yahiko was.

"!"

While still in shock, Yahiko noticed Lu Chen's gaze and immediately felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a terrifying being.

Lu Chen, who was able to kill more than a dozen ninjas in an instant, undoubtedly possessed the ability to kill him in an instant. Although the person in front of him looked to be about the same age as him, his strength had reached an unbelievable and terrifying level!

tread!

Nagato stepped forward, holding a kunai in his hand, and looked at Lu Chen with extreme vigilance.

After recovering from their shock, Konan and the other ninjas also looked at Lu Chen with extreme tension, gripping their weapons tightly, cold sweat pouring from their foreheads.

What speed!

Who is this ninja in front of me?!

"You...you're a Konoha ninja?"

Seeing Lu Chen staring at him, Yahiko swallowed hard and forced himself to speak.

Lu Chen glanced at Yahiko a few times, then swept his gaze over Konan and Nagato, taking a longer look at Nagato and staring at the Rinnegan that Nagato had revealed for a second.

"Yes."

Lu Chen responded calmly, then turned his gaze away and walked towards the Sand Ninja's corpse, beginning to examine and process it.

Yahiko and the others froze on the spot, feeling an extremely strange atmosphere. They wanted to leave, but dared not make a move.

The scene was silent.

Only the sound of Lu Chen disposing of the body remained.

In this strange and oppressive atmosphere, Yahiko gradually calmed down. He judged that Lu Chen hadn't killed them and probably harbored no hostility towards them; he was merely dealing with a Sand Ninja who had impersonated someone to frame Konoha. He took a breath and cautiously began to speak:

Do you know Jiraiya-sensei? How is he doing now?

Jiraiya is not here.

After disposing of the body, Lu Chen walked forward along the street.

As Yahiko and the others watched Lu Chen approach, they were all tense, their palms practically sweating. But Lu Chen simply walked past them.

Xiao Nan watched Lu Chen walk by, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at him and said, "You seem to...know us?!"

"I've heard Jiraiya mention you before."

Lu Chen continued walking forward, casually replying.

As Yahiko watched Lu Chen walk further and further away, he hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and saying to Lu Chen, "I heard that your Konoha is at war with the Rain Ninja... Can't you resolve this peacefully? If needed, I can act as a mediator to negotiate with the Rain Ninja on your behalf."

Lu Chen stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and glanced at Yahiko.

"Innocent."

"..."

Yahiko froze on the spot and said, "Your great powers don't want to be in a war forever, do you? Why not use negotiation to end the war?"

Lu Chen glanced at Yahiko indifferently and said, "That requires mutual trust, but unfortunately, humans cannot trust each other... If you continue to hold such naive ideas, you will die."

After leaving those words, Lu Chen continued walking and disappeared at the end of the street.

Only after Lu Chen's figure disappeared did the many ninjas around Yahiko finally break free from that oppressive atmosphere, feeling that their backs were almost completely soaked with cold sweat.

The ninjas who followed Yahiko also looked at him with strange eyes, not expecting that Yahiko would dare to try to communicate with such a terrifying being.
