Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

That was close, Hiruzen almost found out...

--------

Inside the medical tent at the Cloud Hidden Camp.

In the dim candlelight, Yinjiao lay on the hospital bed, his face as pale as paper.

Dark purple blood continued to seep from the broken part of his right arm, and toxins spread along the blood vessels like a spider web, covering most of his body.

"Brother...brother..." Silver Horn's voice trembled, the savagery in his eyes long gone, leaving only the fear of death. "Save me...I don't want to die..."

Jinjiao stood by the bed, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"You bunch of useless trash!" He suddenly grabbed a medical ninja by the neck and lifted him into the air.

"Didn't you say it could cure the poison?!" Golden Horn roared, his eyes bloodshot. "If my brother dies, you will all be buried with him!"

The medical ninja's feet were off the ground, his face turned purple from lack of oxygen, and he managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

"This...this poison...I've never seen anything like it before...it needs time..."

"Time?!" Jinjiao laughed angrily, his fingers tightening suddenly, snapping the medical ninja's neck. "My brother doesn't have time!!"

He casually tossed the corpse to the ground, looked at the group of medical ninjas in front of him, and said coldly, "If you can't develop an antidote within an hour, you will all die!"

The medical ninjas' faces were even paler than Ginkaku's on the sickbed...

Giving them this little bit of time to develop an antidote is just asking for their lives, isn't it?

"Aaaaah—" Silver Horn's wailing suddenly came.

Golden Horn quickly turned around and saw Silver Horn convulsing violently on the sickbed, with black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother... save... save me..."

Seeing Silver Horn's pleading gaze, Golden Horn felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He rushed to the bedside and gently comforted him, "Hang in there, little brother, the antidote will be developed soon!"

As he spoke, he turned and roared at the medical ninja:

"What are you idiots waiting for? Go and develop an antidote!"

The medical ninjas immediately got to work.

"puff--"

Silver Horn suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and tears streamed down his face.

"Brother...I really...don't want to die!"

A deep despair appeared on his face, filled with fear of death.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly began to convulse violently, and black blood kept spilling from his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Kinkaku panicked, shouting, "Medical ninja! Medical ninja, come quick!"

Before the medical ninja arrived, Ginkaku stopped convulsing, his pupils began to dilate, and his neck lolled to the side, lifeless.

"My little brother, my little brother!"

Golden Horn tightly embraced Silver Horn's corpse, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Chapter 164 What happened to Silver Horn?

"Damn Uchiha!" Kinkaku's eyes turned bloodshot.

Recalling Silverhorn's dying plea, his killing intent was hard to suppress, and dark red chakra surged continuously from his body.

The image of Lian Ye flashed through his mind, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"You killed Silver Horn, I will never let you get away with this!" Golden Horn took one last look at Silver Horn's corpse before leaving. "Little brother, I'll go avenge you right now!"

With that, he turned and left the tent to gather the ninjas for a counterattack.

……

News of Ginkaku's death not only spread throughout the Cloud Village camp, but also reached the Konoha camp.

Upon hearing the news, the Nara commander was immediately shocked.

"So what Jonin Lianye said was true... The poison he developed killed Ginkaku!"

The shock on his face quickly turned into joy, as Silverhorn's death greatly weakened the Cloud Ninja's high-end combat power.

Lianye and the others only need to deal with Kinkaku; the other Cloud Ninja and Konoha ninja can handle it all.

In a short period of time, Kumogakure lost three Kage-level powerhouses.

The successive deaths of the First Raikage, Raikage's personal guards, and Ginkaku were undoubtedly a huge blow to Kumogakure!

This means that the Hidden Cloud Village is severely lacking in high-end combat power...

The current situation presents the perfect opportunity for Konoha to launch a counterattack!

Without any hesitation, Commander Nara immediately organized the ninjas to launch an attack on the Cloud Ninja!

For a long time, it was the Cloud Ninja who took the initiative to attack; finally, it was Konoha's turn to counterattack.

The Konoha ninjas, fully equipped, split into three groups and headed towards the Kumogakure camp.

Taking advantage of the lack of high-end combat power in the Cloud Ninja, dozens of elite Jonin formed a small team to massacre a large number of Cloud Ninja Chunin.

This includes powerful members of various clans, such as the Uchiha, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Akimichi...

Nara's commander clearly intended to cripple the Cloud Village forces in one fell swoop, causing them heavy casualties.

If the Cloud Ninja forces suffer heavy casualties, they will not have enough troops to commit to the war in a short period of time.

With the death of the First Raikage, there is no one in the village to take charge, which will only have a more serious impact on the war on the front lines.

The orders given to the Renya Squad and the Hiruzen Squad were to hold off Kinkaku...

Nara's commander didn't expect them to kill Kinkaku; he just wanted them to keep this Kage-level powerhouse at bay and prevent him from participating in the battle.

The group had barely returned to camp for a day when they were off to the battlefield once again.

……

"Renya, be careful. I don't think Kinkaku will let you off the hook," Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but warn.

Silver Horn was killed by Lotus Night, and Golden Horn will definitely avenge his dead brother.

He worried that Jinjiao might disregard everything and perish together with Lianye, and they might not be able to stop him then...

"Renya-kun, maybe you shouldn't show yourself for now," Koharu Utatane said with concern.

“That’s right, leave this task to us.” Uchiha Kagami smiled.

Shimura Danzo remained silent. He hoped that Renya wouldn't participate, so that the mission's merits could be shared with one less person.

Lian Ye naturally knew what they were worried about, but she couldn't possibly not go to the battlefield because of this, could she?

Although Golden Horn is powerful, the advantage of six against one is mine!

Besides, now that he has the Banana Leaf Fan, a powerful long-range attack weapon, it's not certain who will kill whom.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill." Lian Ye waved the banana leaf fan in her hand, signaling the others to relax.

Seeing this, the others stopped trying to persuade them, realizing they had been overthinking things.

........................

Not long after Kinkaku led the Cloud Village troops out of the camp, they encountered the Konoha ninja who were launching a counterattack.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides, with shouts of battle and the sounds of ninjutsu explosions intertwined.

Kinkaku did not immediately join the battle; instead, he searched around, trying to find the Uchiha boy who had killed his younger brother.

His right arm was wrapped with a golden rope, his right hand held a sharp Seven Star Sword, and a red gourd was tucked under his left armpit.

When used together, these three Six Paths Ninja Tools can unleash terrifying power.

The amber bottle was inconvenient to carry, so he swallowed it.

He was confident he could kill the Uchiha boy and avenge his deceased brother.

Suddenly, Kinkaku's gaze locked onto the six Konoha ninja who had just arrived on the battlefield.

Isn't that black-haired boy with a knife in his right hand and a fan in his left hand the culprit who killed Silver Horn?

His pupils suddenly contracted, and the Nine-Tails' chakra overflowed uncontrollably from his body.

"Damn Uchiha brat, give me back my brother's life!" Kinkaku roared, unleashing an astonishing burst of chakra from his entire body.

He charged straight toward the black-haired boy, his scarlet eyes reflecting Lian Ye's cold and stern face.

The ground cracked and stones flew everywhere it passed.

As soon as Lianye and her group arrived at the battlefield, they felt this terrifying killing intent.

They naturally saw Golden Horn rushing towards them.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Lian Ye shouted in a deep voice.

Jinjiao's stance is clearly aimed at him; the two brothers have a very deep bond.

He activated his Sharingan and stared at the approaching Kinkaku, instinctively tightening his grip on his katana and banana leaf fan.

Facing Kinkaku in his tailed beast form is still incredibly stressful. A slight misstep could result in serious injury; he must give it his all!

The five immediately prepared for battle, forming a semi-circular formation. This formation allowed the others to quickly provide support regardless of who the enemy attacked.

Kinkaku suddenly stopped fifty meters away from them, his six chakra tails thrashing wildly behind him.

His hateful gaze was fixed on Lian Ye, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand gleamed with a dangerous light under the enhancement of chakra.

Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind.

Seeing that Jinjiao did not immediately launch an attack, Lianye revealed a wicked smile.

Under Jinjiao's gaze, Lianye suddenly asked:

"What happened to Silver Horn?"

……

An eerie, deathly silence fell over the scene.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked at Renya, who was speaking, with astonishment on their faces.

What on earth is this guy saying?!

Isn't this asking a question you already know the answer to? What if you anger Golden Horn?

No, Golden Horn has been provoked...

"Ahhhh-"

Golden Horn roared to the sky, and red chakra continuously burst forth from his body.

"Asshole! I'm going to kill you!"

That damned Uchiha brat not only killed his brother, but he's also rubbing salt into his wounds...

Simply unforgivable!

Lian Ye's words enraged him to the point of almost losing his mind; all he could think about was tearing that damned Uchiha to pieces.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others saw this scene, their lips twitched involuntarily.

They didn't know what to say about Lian Ye...

They've already lost their brother, and now they're rubbing salt into their wounds.

Now look what happened, you've directly angered them.

Lian Ye had only said it casually, not expecting Jin Jiao to react so strongly.

Of course, if we gave him another chance...

I would still say that.
