Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

After Yan Cong heard what the child said, even though he didn't want to believe it, he had an intuition in his heart that kept reminding him that what the child said was true.

Now hearing Li Yao's own admission, Yahiko fell silent, and Nagato and Konan also fell silent.

They didn't know what to say next.

After a few breaths, Yahiko raised his head tremblingly and asked: "Are they... still alive?"

"Dead." Li Yao shook his head and extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Yahiko's heart. He closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why?" Yahiko Chen asked.

"What do you think it's for?" Li Yao asked with a smile.

A glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in Nagato and Konan's hearts when they heard this. If they had to kill those people because their lives were threatened, then... it was not Brother Li's fault.

Yahiko thought the same as Nagato and Konan at first, but he soon realized that with Brother Li's strength and the fact that he was carrying out the mission alone, it would be easy for him to escape even if he couldn't win.

Moreover, those missing wandering ninjas are generally very weak and will not pose any life threat to Brother Li.

Brother Li...is there something you can't tell?

But...even if there was some unspeakable secret, you shouldn't have killed so many people, right?

"Do you want to kill me to avenge those people?" Li Yao suddenly said with a smile.

Nagato and Konan looked serious and immediately looked at Yahiko.

call out!

Xiao Ye Zi came to Li Yao's side in an instant and made a decision with his actions.

Seeing this, Xiaonan quickly said, "No, no, no, Brother Li, you must have something to hide, can you please tell me?"

"Yes." Nagato also said: "I know killing is not easy. I have killed someone accidentally before. I don't want to end up in a confrontation. Don't you think so, Yahiko?"

Nagato looked at Yahiko, but Yahiko said nothing. Just when Xiao Ye thought Yahiko was going to take action, he suddenly took a deep breath and said to Li Yao, "Brother Li, go now."

Brother Li is very nice.

Really.

But he has already violated the ideals of the Akatsuki organization and is no longer on the same path as them. If they continue to stay together, Brother Li will still kill people in the future.

The key point is that Yahiko knew that Brother Li had never agreed with his path of peace. Two years had passed, and he thought that their current achievements had changed Brother Li's mind.

But now it seems that obviously not, Brother Li is still Brother Li.

Therefore, they could no longer be together.

If Brother Li kills someone again in the future, he will personally defeat Brother Li and stop him.

Yahiko made up his mind.

"Goodbye."

Li Yao was also very decisive. He jumped off the tower with Xiao Ye. In the air, Xiao Ye condensed a big paper bird to catch the two of them, and flew high into the sky and into the distance.

"Brother Li!"

"Sister Ye Zi!"

Nagato and Konan shouted from the high tower behind them, but it was no use.

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, this is what it means.

Originally, Li Yao wanted to continue to stay beside Nagato and watch the drama unfold, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.

But it’s better to get rid of Madara’s control as soon as possible.

"Uncle, where are we going now?" Xiao Ye asked.

"Let's go to Yuyin Village." Li Yao said with a twinkle in his eyes.

His mission to sneak into Nagato's side and secretly protect him was a failure. He had a rough understanding of Madara's character. He was an extremely proud man who never went back on his word.

What will Madara do if he fails in his mission?

There is a high probability that he will be killed directly.

It is also possible that, considering his strength, he would be allowed to continue living and become one of the people who capture the tailed beast in the future.

However, Li Yao felt that the latter possibility was not very promising.

So Li Yao had to make some preparations before Madara took action.

Xiyu City is not far from the Hidden Rain Village where Hanzo is. They are both on the shore of the big lake. It only takes half an hour to get there in a straight line at the speed of the big paper bird.

Arriving above the Hidden Rain Village, Li Yao flew down quickly and found a Hidden Rain Village ninja who was about twenty years old and had a chakra capacity of one card. After controlling him with a perception deprivation technique, he flew him high into the sky and threw him on the big paper bird.

Then the two of them quickly flew away from the Hidden Rain Village.

Chapter 213: First Battle with Uchiha Madara

On the way, Li Yao first made the captured Hidden Rain Village ninja into an avatar for use, and then took out the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique inheritance scroll from the black water space and handed it to Xiao Ye.

"Uncle, what does this mean?" Xiao Ye's face turned pale, realizing that something life-threatening was about to happen, otherwise why would the uncle give her the scroll of inheritance of the sealing technique.

"Don't worry, it's just in case."

Li Yao smiled, then touched Xiao Ye's head and reminded her: "Remember, no matter what happens later, even if you see my body dead, don't come down."

Xiao Ye hugged Li Yao and said urgently, "No, uncle, I will go down with you. I am already very strong."

She guessed that it must be the white monster who forced the uncle to infiltrate Yahiko and the others that year who was going to harm the uncle.

Since that weirdo was able to force the uncle to death, he must have the ability to threaten his life. Xiao Ye didn't want her uncle to take any risks.

Li Yao frowned, put his hands on Xiao Ye's shoulders, and said seriously, "I'm not kidding you. As long as you stay in the air, I won't die. But once you fall to the ground and get caught, I'll be in real danger."

The clone is the soul that Li Yao left behind after it left his physical body.

Although he has no backup clone, he can use the spirit transformation technique to fly to far away places and take over other people's bodies.

However, there are too many unexpected things in such a hasty choice. Who the hell knows if he will encounter some pervert when trying to take over another person's body, which will cause him to fail.

So it’s best to prepare a clone in advance to be on the safe side.

At this time, Xiao Ye must stay in the air to ensure the safety of his clone, and to ensure that when Madara launches the forbidden spell of the heart, he can escape in the first time and successfully take over the clone.

"You must listen to me and don't come down. Can you do it?" Li Yao's face was more serious than ever.

"I..." Xiao Ye looked at Li Yao's serious eyes and finally nodded: "I understand. No matter what happens, I will not go down."

Li Yao then smiled and touched Xiao Ye's head: "Be good, wait here, I won't die."

After saying that, Li Yao jumped down and quickly landed on a rocky ground.

This time, Li Yao didn't need to stomp his feet, White Zetsu appeared quickly.

"What happened between you and Nagato and the others?" Bai Zetsu asked.

"You don't know?" Li Yao was slightly stunned, then he understood it after thinking about it.

At that time, they were standing on the top of the tower. White Zetsu, who was hiding underground, probably didn't hear their conversation, but he could sense their actions and knew that Li Yao and Yahiko had a conflict.

Thinking of this, Li Yao smiled. He was lucky that he had time to prepare.

"I've quit Akatsuki..." Li Yao explained the reason for his withdrawal, and finally asked with a smile, "Do I continue to secretly protect Nagato or can I move freely?"

If possible, Li Yao still wants to continue to keep Kimura Yao's body.

“You…” Bai Zetsu’s face was uncertain after hearing this. After taking a deep look at Li Yao, he said, “Wait a minute. I’ll ask Master Madara.”

White Zetsu had an idea and began to contact White Zetsu who was far away, and conveyed to Madara the news that Li Yao had withdrawn from the Akatsuki organization.

In a secret cave room somewhere underground in the Land of Grass.

White Zetsu popped his head out and woke up the sleeping Madara.

Because his physical lifespan is about to come to an end, Madara can only slow down the passing of his life by falling asleep, waiting until the day when Obito is formed, and then handing over everything to Obito before dying.

His waking hours were precious, and Madara was mad at White Zetsu for not waking him up before the allotted time.

However, he still patiently listened to what White Zetsu conveyed.

"How to arrange Li Yao?"

"Madara-sama!"

Bai Zetsu asked. If possible, he actually didn't want Li Yao to die. If that guy was alive, it would really help them to better carry out the plan of capturing the tailed beast.

Hehe... Madara smiled softly and asked, "Do you remember the task I gave that brat?"

White Zetsu replied: "Remember, let Li Yao sneak into Nagato's side and protect him secretly. He is not allowed to leave without your order, Lord Madara."

Madara smiled and said, "So, does the brat's current situation mean that the mission has failed?"

Bai Zetsu replied: "Failed."

Hehe... Madara raised his hands and began to slowly form seals. While forming seals, he sneered, "A loser who can even fail a simple infiltration mission, who gave him the courage to challenge what I said."

After hearing this, no, after seeing Madara forming hand seals, White Zetsu understood Madara's decision.

After Obito's situation was confirmed, Madara no longer took Li Yao, the spare tire, seriously.

Uchiha Madara's words are his final words. Anyone who dares to disobey his orders will die.

Li Yao didn't complete his mission, so he died.

In the Land of Rain.

After Bai Jue fell silent, Li Yao's mind was always focused on his heart.

The Six Paths level forbidden chakra, this is his only chance in the near future to sense the related changes in properties. Even if the time is short, it is worth Li Yao's attention.

As the last seal in Madara's hand was completed, a quantum entanglement-like connection suddenly descended on Li Yao's heart.

Instantly, a chakra of extremely high quality appeared in Li Yao's chakra perception. Before, this six-path level chakra was lurking and he could not perceive it. But now that it was actively activated, Li Yao finally sensed it.

Unfortunately, the time was too short and what was perceived was not clear, so it could not be replicated.

As Madara's technique was activated, unique black technique patterns instantly appeared at Li Yao's heart and quickly flowed along the blood vessels connected to the heart to the whole body. At the same time, the fluctuations of Madara's will in his soul also competed with Li Yao for control of the chakra.

"Disappear!"

Li Yao smiled inwardly, and the will-purifying chakra that he had condensed long ago instantly wiped out the fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu's will in his soul. At the same time, he activated the spirit transformation technique, and his soul turned into a spirit body to escape.

It was at the moment when Li Yao erased the fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu's will in his soul.

"Um!!"

Thousands of miles away, Madara's eyes suddenly fixed, and he was deeply shocked. Then his face changed, and he immediately accelerated the erosion of the curse on Li Yao's body.

As long as Li Yao's physical body is killed quickly, the spirit body created by the spirit transformation technique will not be able to exist for too long.

At the same time, Madara had an idea and asked the White Zetsu beside Li Yao to immediately attack Li Yao's spirit.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"How can it be!"

At this moment, White Zetsu, or rather Black Zetsu, was equally shocked, his pupils trembling.

How could Li Yao erase the fluctuations of will he left in his soul?

You have to know that you are the child born by your mother using the Six Paths-level Yin-Yang magic. His will... Well, that was just the fluctuation of his will, not his own will.

Bai Zetsu quickly reacted with a grim expression.

If it was his will that possessed the body, Li Yao would not be able to erase his will.

If it is just a fluctuation of will, it is possible that it will be erased.

But Bai Zetsu still couldn't accept that it could be erased so easily.

"kill!"

White Zetsu reacted and immediately used Wood Release to attack Li Yao's body, but his spirit was too late as it flew away too fast.

But just as the Wood Release spikes attacked Li Yao's body, a large amount of black ink suddenly splashed out of Li Yao's body.

"Oh no, it's the Four Symbols Sealing Technique!"

Li Yao used his own body as an anchor and used the Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

Bai Jue's face changed. He didn't expect Li Yao to give up his physical body so decisively. He quickly sank into the ground to hide.
