It's best not to get involved in things like the Hokage election...

Just focus on doing your job well and don't get involved in other things.

Tobirama Senju tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, his mind conjuring up images of the six people and their specific actions.

He picked up a pen and began to write on a piece of paper. After he finished, he locked it in a drawer, and no one knew what he had written.

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

Inside the Cloud Hidden Camp.

The long-haired, burly man had a gloomy face and was holding a report on casualties from the recent battles of the Cloud Village.

All we can say is that the casualties were heavy!

"Useless! How did you command the troops?" He pointed at Golden Horn's nose and roared, "If it weren't for your terrible command, we wouldn't have such a high casualty rate!"

Faced with the burly man's questioning, Golden Horn curled his lip indifferently, "It's all their incompetence, how can you blame me?"

Before launching his attack, he deliberately provoked the Cloud Ninja's emotions. Who would have thought that even after all that, they were still no match for the Leaf Ninja?

At first, things were going well; he and Ginkaku worked together to make Konoha unable to lift their heads.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed when Lian Ye and the others joined the fray.

First, the Banana Leaf Fan was stolen, and then Silver Horn died of poisoning!

Enraged, he wanted to avenge his brother, but nearly died at Lian Ye's hands...

Kinkaku believes that all the misfortunes he has experienced recently are due to that damned Uchiha brat!

Everything will be fine as long as it is killed.

The long-haired, burly man gave Golden Horn a cold look and didn't continue the topic.

The next operational plan was to be deployed based on the troop strength of the camp...

--------

Konoha Camp.

Commander Nara breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Hokage issue the order.

All we need to do is wait for reinforcements from the southwestern battlefield to arrive, at which point the situation on the battlefield will improve.

Even a Kage-level ninja would be overwhelmed and easily defeated when surrounded by a large number of ninjas.

When facing an attack from dozens of people, there will always be areas that cannot be covered, and chakra will be exhausted...

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers are a good example.

With proper execution, it's entirely possible to kill a Kage-level powerhouse through coordinated attacks!

Once reinforcements arrive, they can work with Lianye and her six companions to fight against Zhuanghan and Jinjiao.

……

Medical Department.

Koharu Utatane used medical ninjutsu to treat Danzo, and the hideous wound on his chest began to heal at a visible speed.

After the treatment, Danzo's injuries had greatly improved compared to before.

He looked at Koharu Utatane, whose face was pale from excessive chakra depletion, and said softly, "Thank you, Koharu."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do." Xiaochun forced a smile.

If Danzo hadn't been trying to save him, he wouldn't have been injured at all.

"The new burly man is even more difficult to deal with than the previous Raikage's personal guards. Have you thought of a way to deal with him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a low voice.

"Not at the moment." Uchiha Kagami shook his head bitterly.

Mitokado Hō didn't respond, but frowned as he pondered a solution.

Danzo and Koharu's gazes fell on Renya, and Hiruzen also looked curious, "Renya, do you have a solution?"

Lian Ye lowered his head and fiddled with the bottles and jars in front of him; these were the venoms he had recently developed.

He wanted to develop a poison that could corrode chakra, so he wouldn't have to worry about the strong man's lightning armor.

He had pondered this question during his battles with the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

If we can develop a poison that ignores chakra defenses, many troublesome issues can be easily resolved.

Based on this idea, Lian Ye quickly concocted dozens of poisons, which are currently in the testing phase and their specific effects are unknown.

"There is no solution yet..."

Everyone sighed helplessly upon hearing this. Could it be that even Lian Ye couldn't do anything about it?

Lian Ye looked up and saw everyone's expressions, then continued to work on the poison with her head down.

He didn't tell the others his idea, lest they be disappointed if the research failed!

While Konoha and Kumogakure are at peace, they should quickly develop a poison that can erode chakra.

Chapter 170 The White Mouse

In a cave fifty miles from the Konoha camp.

The three-tomoe jade pendant of Renye glowed with a faint red light in the darkness. A special Jonin from Kumogakure lay on the stone platform, his limbs firmly bound and unable to break free.

His mouth was taped shut, and he stared at the boy in front of him with a terrified look in his eyes.

I was just going to the bathroom when I was suddenly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was here.

"Uuuuuu——"

Yun Ren wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak at all.

Lian Ye ignored the other person, turned around and began to fiddle with the bottles and jars in front of her, muttering to herself, "The medicine is still too strong... I hope it will work this time, otherwise I'll have to go out and catch guinea pigs again."

Upon hearing this, Yunren turned his head to look in the direction of Lianye, and his eyes widened instantly at just one glance.

In the corner, the corpses of several Cloud Village ninjas were piled up, their deaths gruesome.

The faces of these corpses were filled with terror, as if they had suffered inhuman torture before they were born.

As Yunren watched the boy's busy figure, his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he knew his own fate.

Lianye took out a specially made bamboo tube from the ninja tool pouch at his waist and poured a pale purple liquid into a ceramic jar in front of him. Inside was a powder he had developed that could affect the nervous system.

As the liquid flowed into it, the powder began to emit an eerie glow.

“This time…” Lian Ye’s eyes flickered as she stared intently at the powder in the jar, “It should have succeeded, right?”

He carefully picked up the jar and approached the Cloud Village ninja, grabbing a handful of powder with his gloved hand.

"Waaaaah—" Upon seeing this scene, the Cloud Village ninja immediately had a bad feeling and began to struggle desperately.

However, his limbs were firmly bound, and no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small experiment, there's no danger to your life," Lian Ye comforted softly.

As he spoke, he smeared powder-covered hands onto the faces of the Cloud Ninja.

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Village ninja subconsciously glanced at the corpse of his comrade not far away, and his already terrified expression became even more horrified.

There's no danger whatsoever!

There's no danger, so what's with those corpses in the corner?!

It's a pity his mouth was sealed shut, otherwise he would definitely have complained loudly.

Feeling the powder on his face, the Cloud Ninja closed his eyes in despair.

My life is over!

The imagined pain did not come, and he opened his eyes in surprise.

Seeing this, Lian Ye smiled and said softly, "I already said there's no danger."

However, that smile was extremely unsettling to him...

"I'm going to ask you a few questions now. Once you answer them, I'll let you go." Lian Ye tore off the tape covering the other person's mouth.

"You...you really will let me leave?!"

"My first question is, what changes do you feel in your body right now?" Lian Ye asked instead of answering the other person's question.

Yunren felt that the boy in front of him was unlikely to let him go, but for the sake of his last remaining hope, he decided to give it a try...

What if the other party really keeps their promise and lets you go?

"I don't feel any changes in my body."

"No change?" Lian Ye frowned slightly, lost in thought.

According to his theory, as long as the body is covered in powder, the nervous system will be temporarily damaged to varying degrees, depending on the amount of powder on the body.

Damage to the nervous system will affect the flow of chakra.

This is a poison specifically designed to counter taijutsu ninjas...

It is clearly unrealistic to develop a toxin that can erode chakra in a short period of time.

Lian Ye had no choice but to settle for second best and develop a poison that would damage the nervous system.

Logically, if someone were exposed to the powder, their body should experience changes.

Could it be that... my research has failed again?

He then grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it on Yunren's face to observe his reaction.

"Cough cough cough, what exactly do you want to do?!" The Cloud Village ninja coughed repeatedly, choking on the powder and inhaling a large amount of it.

The powder can penetrate the body through the pores and is effective without needing to be inhaled through the mouth or nose.

Of course, inhaling it directly will have a better effect!

Lian Ye looked at it for a long time but couldn't find the problem, so she sighed helplessly.

"Failed again..."

To ensure the accuracy of the experiment, these "guinea pigs" that have participated in the experiment are no longer worth studying.

After all, no one knows whether the inhaled powder will affect the next study.

Sensing danger, the Cloud Village ninja said in a trembling voice, "I...I've answered. Can you...let me leave?"

Lian Ye took off her gloves and smiled, "Of course, I'll see you off right now."

He picked up the "Pure" sword from the table and, to the horrified gaze of the Cloud Village ninja, cleanly and decisively finished him off with a single strike.

Lian Ye stared at the blood-soaked corpse on the stone platform and murmured softly, "I have to go out and catch another batch of 'guinea pigs' for experiments."

With that, he changed into a black combat suit and left the cave.

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

Nighttime, Cloud Hidden Camp.

"Damn it, why is it just the two of us on patrol again today?" a Cloud Ninja muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Don't even mention it. Who told us to offend the captain before?" another Cloud Ninja sighed. "Let's just focus on patrolling."

The two of them had offended the captain before, and then the captain made things difficult for them.

"Tch, this is our headquarters. What fearless bastard would dare to trespass here?"

"That's true. We'll take a break after we finish this patrol."

Just then, a noise suddenly came from the bushes ahead.

"Who?!" The two instinctively gripped their kunai tightly and cautiously stepped forward to investigate.

As the bushes were lifted, an owl flew out.

"Haha, it's just an owl." The two breathed a sigh of relief.

As they turned to continue their patrol, they saw a pair of scarlet eyes, which stood out starkly in the darkness.

The moment their eyes met, the two froze in shock.

Lian Ye stepped forward and knocked the two unconscious with a single chop, then dragged them away from the scene.
