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

Danzo ignored Koharu and focused his gaze on Renya. Renya was the team leader, and the final decision on this matter rested with the team leader.

Renya naturally understood Danzo's inner thoughts, which were nothing more than wanting to kill anyone who could threaten the village in the future.

That girl is very likely to pose a threat to Konoha in the future. Being able to control five puppets at such a young age is a rare talent in Sunagakure.

He roughly guessed the girl's identity—Chiyo, Sasori's grandmother.

I never expected that old woman Chiyo was quite beautiful when she was young.

Hearing Danzo's suggestion, Renya felt a stirring in her heart; this was indeed a good opportunity to eliminate her opponent.

But considering the consequences of the matter being exposed, he ultimately gave up the idea.

If the effort and reward are disproportionate, it seems pointless.

Isn't he just a puppeteer?

It's simply not worth them taking such a big risk...

If this gets out, that old bastard Tobirama Senju will skin him alive.

"Never mind, Danzo, I think Koharu is right." Renya rejected his suggestion.

Danzo didn't say anything when he saw this; it was just a suggestion.

Since the captain doesn't agree, let's just forget about it.

Their real goal was to obtain information about Sunagakure, and he had long forgotten about this mission.

The reward for an S-rank mission is only one million ryo, which is insignificant compared to the intelligence gathered by Sunagakure.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the girl will survive, because her opponents are three veteran Jonin...

Unless they provide assistance, the girl is very likely to die at the hands of the rogue ninja.

In this way, her death would no longer be Konoha's concern.

However, Danzo clearly underestimated the girl's strength...

The three of them turned their attention back to the center of the arena; the battle was still ongoing.

Chiyo controls five puppets to fight against three rogue ninja from Sunagakure.

The puppets, under her control, worked in perfect harmony, combining offense and defense. The rogue ninjas countered with ninjutsu, their blades flashing and ninjutsu clashing amidst the smoke and dust.

"flaw!"

Chiyo's sharp eyes spotted an opening in the Sand Village rogue ninja's attack on her left, and the chakra threads at her fingertips suddenly tightened.

Two puppets surrounded the rogue ninja, one in front and one behind, and two short swords stabbed rapidly towards him.

"Help me!" The rogue ninja was shocked to see this and immediately called for help.

However, his two teammates were already tied down by the other three puppets, leaving him with no time to spare.

"Thud—" The dagger pierced his back.

Seeing their comrade die, the remaining two rogue ninjas considered retreating, clearly underestimating Chiyo's strength.

They exchanged a glance, then fled in different directions.

Chiyo's expression turned somewhat grim upon seeing this; no matter who she chased, someone would always manage to escape.

The scene she least wanted to see finally happened...

"Shhhhh-"

Just then, Lianye and her two companions, who had been watching from a distance, made their move.

Chapter 263 I need an explanation from you!

"Who are you?!"

A black-haired youth suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man, blocking his escape route. When the man saw the Konoha headband on the youth's forehead, his expression instantly turned ugly.

That damned Kazekage! He's even willing to cooperate with Konoha to eliminate them.

If news of the coup hadn't leaked, he would be the new Fengying now.

"Konoha ninja, let me leave, and I'll tell you everything I know," the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.

He knew that if he were captured and taken back to the village, his fate would be worse than death.

The Second Kazekage would never let him go, given his attempt to launch a coup.

Their only hope now is to receive protection from the Konoha ninja and escape the pursuit of the Sunagakure village.

Only in this way could he possibly survive...

He didn't care about the village's information at all; he could use it as payment for the help of the Konoha ninjas. Presumably, no one would refuse the secrets of Sunagakure.

Seeing this from a distance, Chiyo panicked. "Konoha ninja, don't believe him! Please help me capture these two alive. Sunagakure will reward you handsomely!"

She couldn't just stand by and watch a rogue ninja leak information about the village, especially to the Konoha ninja.

We must find a way to stop this no matter what!

Lian Ye watched the middle-aged man with great interest, a slight smile playing on her lips, and slowly gripped the hilt of her sword with her right hand.

"What you're saying... even if I kill you, I can still obtain information."

"What do you mean by that?!" The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted, seemingly not expecting Lian Ye to say such a thing.

He was already willing to hand over information about the village, so why did the young man in front of him still want to attack him?

"Konoha ninja, stop him for me. Sunagakure will reward you handsomely afterwards." Chiyo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rushed over.

Her mission was to hold off the three men while they waited for the village's reinforcements; they just needed to hold on a little longer and the reinforcements would arrive.

Lord Kazekage has ordered that the middle-aged man be brought back alive.

With the cooperation of Konoha ninjas, capturing the opponent alive is not difficult.

Just as she was imagining that the mission would be completed smoothly, what happened next left her stunned.

The Konoha ninja drew his katana from his waist and launched an attack on the rogue ninja with incredible speed, so fast that none of the people present could react.

The middle-aged man saw Lian Ye draw his sword and was just ready to fight when the young man in front of him vanished in an instant. When he came to his senses, he only felt his neck being slashed by a sharp blade, the scenery in front of him began to spin, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Lian Ye lightly leaped into the air and grabbed the middle-aged man's head. When he landed back on the ground, the headless corpse was lying on the ground.

The movements were fluid and seamless; the battle was over before it even began.

"Click—"

Lian Ye casually twirled the sword, then sheathed it.

"too weak."

The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed effective; the opponent couldn't react at all. No wonder Uchiha Izuna was seriously injured by that old bastard Senju Tobirama.

By the time the opponent reacted, the knife was already inside his body.

Years of hard training paid off at this moment; killing an elite Jonin was as easy as killing a chicken.

As long as she doesn't encounter an opponent like Madara Uchiha, Renya is practically invincible.

Even if you can't win, you can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape; even if you're about to die, you can use Izanagi to revive.

"You...you killed him?" Chiyo stared at Renya in shock.

She hadn't even seen how the Konoha ninja made their move before the village's rogue ninja was dismembered.

This terrifying strength was something she could not possibly provoke.

Chiyo originally wanted to question the young man about why he killed the rogue ninja, but after witnessing his terrifying strength, she wisely kept quiet.

All she wanted to do right now was get away from this terrifying guy.

Lianye's gaze fell on Chiyo, causing the latter to tremble involuntarily.

"I took his head, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Although it was phrased as an inquiry, it didn't imply any discussion; even if Chiyo disagreed, it wouldn't make a difference.

"No...no problem." Even though Chiyo was unwilling, she could only agree with a wry smile on her face.

"You promised this, didn't you?" Lian Ye took out a storage scroll and put the head inside.

Chiyo: “…”

Did she have any other choice besides agreeing?

If it weren't for the vast difference in their strength, she would never have allowed the young man to act so recklessly.

This young man looks familiar; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

Chiyo glanced up at Renya's face, which only strengthened her conviction.

It's not that she didn't recognize Lian Ye; she had only seen Lian Ye's portrait once before, inside the commander's tent.

At that time, she didn't care about Lian Ye's appearance at all; she only wanted to develop the corresponding antidote.

Over the years, Lianye's appearance has become more mature. In addition, she did not demonstrate her ability to use poison just now, so it is normal that she cannot immediately associate her with the "Konoha Poison Master" on the battlefield.

Whenever he used poison to kill his opponent, Chiyo would remember his identity.

Renya ignored the absent-minded Chiyo and turned to look at the battle between her two teammates in the distance.

Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane worked together to kill the last rogue ninja from Sunagakure.

Without hesitation, Danzo severed his opponent's head and came before Renya.

He stared at the girl in front of him with hostility, as if looking for an opportunity to kill her.

Now that there's no one around, it's the perfect opportunity to kill them and silence them!

If Lian Ye hadn't refused earlier, he would have attacked the girl in front of him.

Chiyo sensed intense malice and frowned as she distanced herself from Danzo.

She was worried that the three of them might suddenly attack her, at which point she would truly be doomed.

You'd die in the middle of nowhere and no one would find you...

Why haven't the village's reinforcements arrived yet?

Just as she was worried about being silenced, she heard footsteps in the distance.

Chiyo breathed a sigh of relief; the village's support had finally arrived.

Dozens of Sand Village ninjas appeared beside Chiyo, staring warily at Renya and the other two.

"Chiyo, are you alright?" the Jonin leading the team asked with concern.

They had seen the village's genius surrounded by three Konoha ninjas from a great distance.

The ninjas of Konoha are going too far! They actually want to attack the village's genius. It's simply unforgivable!

"I'm fine." Chiyo shook her head. "Let's go back."

She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and dared not stay with the young man in front of her.

"Konoha ninjas, I need an explanation from you!"

The Jonin leading the group's gaze fell on the head of the rogue ninja that Danzo was holding, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

These guys dare to covet information about the village; they don't take Sunagakure seriously at all. They're practically courting death!

Chiyo: "???"

Chapter 264 The Purpose of Navigating the Ninja World

"Stop talking, let's go back first."

The Sand Village's Jonin leader wanted to say more, but Chiyo interrupted him.

If we let him continue, it might anger the young people, and then they would all have to die here.

Despite their numbers, the young man's demonstrated strength just now suggests that dealing with them shouldn't be difficult...

"With me here, they won't dare to act recklessly," the Jonin leading the team reassured them, completely oblivious to Chiyo's implication.

With so many of them, how could they possibly be unable to handle three Konoha ninjas?
