Unfortunately, their attacks had absolutely no effect.

Seeing this from a distance, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but remark, "Renya's Body Flicker Technique is getting stronger and stronger."

Koharu Utatane nodded in deep agreement, "It seems that Renya-kun doesn't need our help anymore."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Renya has begun her counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Koharu Tsurugi immediately looked towards the center of the battlefield.

Suddenly, Lianye appeared behind a Jonin, her katana aimed straight for his back!

If this strike lands, the opponent will surely die.

"clang--!"

At the critical moment, the team leader Jonin used his lightning blade to block Ren Ye's sneak attack, sparks flying everywhere.

"Got you!" The leader grinned maliciously, his left hand quickly forming a hand seal: "Lightning Release: Lightning Bind!"

When Lianye saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected that this Jonin could form hand seals with one hand.

At this moment, he was still in his original attack stance, and he had no time to dodge the rapidly approaching chains.

Chains formed from lightning tightly bound Lianye.

"Hahaha, I finally caught him!" the team leader laughed loudly.

In his view, the Konoha ninja in front of him only managed to kill several of his comrades by surprise using his powerful Body Flicker Technique and by coating his sword with poison.

Now that he has caught them, they have become lambs to the slaughter.

"Hahaha—" Lian Ye laughed along.

The team leader's smile vanished instantly. He looked at Lian Ye with a blank expression, wondering what this guy was laughing about.

But soon, he found out the answer.

Lian Ye suppressed her laughter, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Are you sure... you caught me?

"what?!"

"Lotus Night," bound by chains of lightning, dissipated into smoke.

The shadow clones perform well in battle and won't cause any problems for the main body.

……

"Oh no, it's a shadow clone!" The Jonin suddenly showed a look of horror, as if he had seen something terrifying.

He shouted loudly to the team leader, "Captain, watch out behind you!"

Upon hearing his companion's reminder, the team leader's expression suddenly changed, and he realized something was wrong.

Before he could react, a sharp blade appeared in front of his chest.

The team leader stared wide-eyed at the blade tip protruding from the body in disbelief.

"This is my own creation... Shadow Dance Slash..."

Lian Ye's voice came from behind him, devoid of any emotion, "Rest in peace."

"Pfft-"

Lianye pulled out the katana that had pierced through the leader's body, and the leader fell straight to the ground, his face still showing the shock he had felt before his death.

"A monster...this guy is a monster!"

Witnessing all his comrades die before his eyes, the remaining Jonin completely broke down.

One person alone killed four of his companions.

Two of their companions are Jonin; their terrifying strength makes them absolute monsters!

Escape! We must bring the intelligence back!

The fact that a powerful Uchiha has appeared on the battlefield must be reported to Lord Raikage.

The last remaining Cloud Village Jonin turned and fled without hesitation.

In an effort to run faster, he even used Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his body, as if doing so would allow him to escape successfully...

Gazing at the distant figures of the Cloud Ninja, Lianye murmured softly, "It's been so long since I used that move."

As he spoke, flashes of electricity appeared around him as he slowly raised his katana, the tip pointing directly at the Cloud Village Jonin's back.

"call out--"

Lianye gathered her Lightning Release chakra at the soles of her feet and used Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.

It was the low-end version of the Flying Thunder God Slash that Lian Ye had researched himself!

The Cloud Village Jonin, who was frantically fleeing for his life, heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind him.

Before he could even react to what was happening, his body was pierced through by the katana, and the lightning chakra gathered on his body instantly dissipated.

Looking at the sharp blade in front of his chest, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the Cloud Village Jonin.

He hasn't sent the intelligence back yet.

"Trying to leave?" Lian Ye sheathed her sword. "Did you ask my sword first?"

Unfortunately, the Cloud Village Jonin could no longer answer that question; he had already become a corpse.

The battle ended with a complete victory for the Renye Squad in less than five minutes.

It's likely that the First Raikage would never have imagined that his personally formed "Lightning" squad would be completely wiped out on its very first mission.

As Lianye looked at the corpse on the ground, her three-tomoe Sharingan slowly faded, returning to its original pitch-black state.

Danzo approached Renya and said softly, "Your Body Flicker Technique is getting stronger and stronger."

"Of course it is. How could it get weaker and weaker?" Lianye glanced at Danzo and said irritably.

Isn't this guy talking nonsense?

After practicing the Body Flicker Technique for so long, it would be strange if I wasn't strong.

Danzo was taken aback by Renya's response.

I finally wanted to praise the other person, but this is the result I got.

It seems I shouldn't praise people so easily in the future.

Especially that guy, Lian Ye!

Renya had no idea what kind of hurt her casual remark had caused Danzo.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

……

"Renya-kun, what should we do with their bodies?" Koharu Utatane asked.

She wasn't asking about the corpses of the Cloud Ninja, but rather the corpses of five Konoha ninja.

Lian Ye looked at the corpse not far away and said softly, "Bury it on the spot."

Upon hearing this, neither of them raised any objections.

Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for them to transport the bodies back to the camp.

It's time-consuming and laborious, and it's completely useless.

Since they're already dead, just bury them.

Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane formed hand seals and used ninjutsu to blast a large crater in the ground, placing the Konoha ninja's corpse inside before covering it with soil.

"keep going."

After doing all this, Lian Ye didn't linger and led the two to the battlefield.

The three moved quickly through the woods, faintly hearing the sounds of fighting in the distance.

……

Chapter 146 This is just the beginning

The front lines were shrouded in smoke, and the deafening roar of the detonating tags filled the air.

The ground was littered with the corpses of ninjas, including both Konoha and Kumo ninjas.

A fierce battle ensued between the two sides...

"Damn it, haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

"Stop them, don't let them get close!"

At this moment, the Konoha ninjas were being suppressed by the Cloud ninjas, and a gap had been torn in their defenses.

The Cloud Ninja raiding force surged in like a pack of wolves, their Lightning Release ninjutsu exploding amidst the crowd, accompanied by a cacophony of screams.

Faced with the perfectly coordinated Cloud Ninja, the Konoha ninja's formation is crumbling.

"The entire third squad has been wiped out. Requesting backup!"

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? We can't hold on much longer!"

The Konoha ninjas are struggling to resist the Cloud Ninja's frenzied attacks.

Desperate cries echoed across the battlefield.

Suddenly, three figures appeared on the battlefield; it was the Lianye Squad that had arrived.

"Shh-!"

A flash of light appeared, and a Cloud Village Chunin who was charging forward suddenly froze, coughing up blood as he collapsed to the ground.

Lian Ye appeared in the center of the battlefield like a ghost, her blade untouched by blood.

His three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, his gaze locking onto two Cloud Ninja Jonin. "Leave these two to me."

"Danzo, suppress the enemy on the right flank. Koharu, go treat the wounded."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo swiftly formed hand seals: "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Dozens of high-pressure wind blades roared out, forcing back several Cloud Village Chunin who were trying to attack from the right.

Koharu Utatane rushed to the group of wounded soldiers and, under the cover of Konoha ninjas, began using medical ninjutsu to treat them.

The arrival of Lianye and her two companions halted the Cloud Ninja's offensive.

"It's Konoha's reinforcements!"

"Watch out, a Jonin from Konoha is coming!"

"Wait, that's an Uchiha... watch out for his Sharingan!"

Without wasting any words, Lianye charged directly at the two Cloud Village Jonin on the left.

"Arrogant brat!" one of the Jonin roared, forming hand seals: "Lightning Release: Lightning Leopard!"

Lightning transformed into a purple-blue leopard and attacked. The three tomoe in Lian Ye's eyes slowly rotated, easily discerning the leopard's attack trajectory.

"Shh!"

His figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already beside the Jonin, his katana slashing down from above his head.

"what?!"

The Cloud Ninja hadn't expected Lian Ye to be so fast, and he had no time to dodge the incoming katana.

He instinctively channeled his Lightning Release chakra into his arm and raised it, attempting to withstand Ren Ye's attack.

"clang--"

A shocking thing happened: the Cloud Ninja actually withstood the attack of the katana.

The sharp katana only left a small wound on it.

Having failed to land her first attack, Lian Ye immediately created distance.

"Kid, your attacks are utterly ineffective against me," the Jonin said smugly.

His physical abilities were among the strongest in the village.
