What "Number One in the Shinobi World"?

"Pfft, I thought Ye Liangnai was something special, but it turns out he doesn't even have the courage to fight us head-on?"

"This is absolutely hilarious! He calls himself the number one Shinobi World? He doesn't deserve that title!"

The blond ninja's contempt deepened as he watched the retreating Mist Ninja.

"But that makes sense!"

"With 20,000 against 60,000, he has no chance of winning. It's normal for him to run away! At least he has some self-awareness!"

The blond ninja is named Muronakao, one of Kainojirou's capable subordinates and the commander of the Shinobi Alliance.

"But!"

"Today I will leave you with nowhere to run, Ye Liangnai. You will soon become a defeated opponent of Muronakao!"

"What do you mean, the number one Shinobi World!"

"I will Teuchi all your halos, tear apart all your glory, and trample you into the abyss, so you can't even lift your head!"

He glanced in the direction the Mist Ninja army had retreated, and said to the thousands of guards behind him, "You all go after them and supervise the battle. Tell the Allied Forces that the war will be over within two hours!"

"Kainojirou will arrive in half a day!"

"I need to see the allied forces capture Ye Liangnai in three hours, so that I can personally present this great gift to Ye Liangnai and make him happy!"

"Yes!"

Ye Liangnai here!

"Is everything ready at Moon Gazer Valley?"

As Ye Liangnai sped along the road, she asked the Anbu Ninja beside her.

"Everything is ready, and the brothers are all excited and can't wait!"

The Anbu replied, his voice brimming with excitement.

"Ye Liangnai, do we really need to make a tactical retreat with these lowly henchmen? Don't you think it's incredibly frustrating?"

"Yeah, what tactics do we need to deal with them? We won't lose in a head-on confrontation, will we?"

Yugito and Reiko couldn't help but complain, their faces full of frustration.

"Even if the enemy is weak, they still number 60,000. A head-on confrontation would result in too many losses. Using tactics can reduce losses, annihilate the enemy, and cultivate everyone's tactical awareness. Why not do it?"

"As a ninja, tactical rest is essential, isn't it!"

Even though Ye Liangnai can now disregard most tactics, he still prefers to use tactics to solve problems.

After all, it's much more convenient and less troublesome this way!

Ye Liangnai glanced at the allied forces hot on their heels and said, "I wonder how many of them will survive? Twenty thousand, or ten thousand?"

"Everyone, don't blame me for being heartless. I gave you chances, but you didn't cherish them!"

Upon hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Reiko and Yugito, who were standing nearby, could only think: Crocodile tears!

Don't be fooled by Ye Liangnai's seemingly harmless appearance!

But when has his heart ever been kind?

Especially when facing the enemy!

Ruthless and decisive!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the White Cold Light!

Didn't he kill quite a few people back then?

If he were truly kind-hearted, he wouldn't have killed thousands with a single sword stroke and remained completely unfazed.

"Hehe, I'm already looking forward to the upcoming noob-slaying activity!"

"So what if they have 60,000 troops? They're nothing but a bunch of small fry. I, the Mist Ninja, will show you what despair truly means!"

"Come on, come on, hurry up and come on, I can't wait!"

The captains, squad leaders, and platoon leaders of the Mist Ninja army were all extremely excited.

In terms of war experience, who can compare to Kirigakure?

Some people experienced the Third Shinobi World War!

Some people have experienced the evolution of the Kirigakure's political power.

Some people experienced both Fourth Shinobi World War (the first: the invasion of Kumogakure Yugito; the second: the invasion of the four great shinobi villages triggered by Ye Liangnai's abolition of the daimyo).

It can be said that 70% of the Mist Ninja are battle veterans with rich experience.

They didn't take the 60,000-strong coalition army seriously at all.

It's only one to three!

They weren't flustered when they fought tens of thousands of people with only a few thousand, even when they were surrounded on all sides and had to make a long-distance raid.

Now, on her own territory, Tactical Ye Liangnai has made proper arrangements and supplies are stable.

They became even less panicked.

They weren't panicked at all; in fact, they were quite excited!

The Allied Forces are on their side!

"Something feels off. Why would Ye Liangnai personally lead the troops in retreat? Is there a trap here?"

As Anjuurou chased after him, he felt increasingly terrified, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

He felt that this didn't quite fit Ye Liangnai's character.

Ye Liangnai has been through countless battles in her life; when has she ever backed down?

Unless there's something fishy going on here!

"Pfft, Anjuurou, you've been scared out of your wits by Ye Liangnai, haven't you?"

"A trap? Even if Ye Liangnai scheming, all his plots are nothing but illusions in front of my 60,000 troops. If you're scared, then get out of here and don't hinder my efforts to gain merit!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"Anjuurou, if you're scared, then get lost. Don't block our path to achieving great things!"

The leaders of the surrounding ninja villages couldn't help but sneer.

Is Ye Liangnai up to something? What kind of trickery?

What kind of trick could someone who turns and runs away when faced with an army of 60,000, and doesn't even have the courage to confront them head-on, possibly have?

They're watching.

It's just that Anjuurou was terrified by Ye Liangnai, he's scared!

"Brothers, charge! Capture Ye Liangnai!"

These people strutted past Anjuurou with their heads held high, leaving only a contemptuous smile as they walked further and further away.

"Chief, let's hurry and give chase! We can't let others look down on us!"

The ninjas of the Land of Rainbows also looked at Anjuurou with some dissatisfaction.

Anjuurou's words just now were a disgrace to all the ninjas of the Land of Rainbows.

That's incredibly cowardly!

"What's wrong, Anjuurou? Why are you suddenly scared?"

Hamagoro led his troops over, a hint of mockery on his face.

He didn't sense anything was wrong.

He also wondered if Anjuurou was so frightened that he was afraid to face Ye Liangnai, which was why he deliberately made up an excuse to say that there was a trap.

In his view.

Since we've decided to be enemies with Ye Liangnai, we must show no mercy, completely corner Ye Liangnai, and then kill her in one fell swoop to eliminate any future trouble.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Liangnai leading her troops in retreat!

Faced with an enemy they couldn't fight, wasn't it perfectly normal for Ye Liangnai to choose to retreat?

Even someone as strong as the Third Raikage was worn down and killed by ten thousand ninjas!

No matter how powerful Ye Liangnai is, can she really be powerful enough to fight against 40,000 ninjas by herself?

That's unrealistic!

He expressed great disdain for Anjuurou's cowardly behavior halfway through.

If they weren't both under Kainojirou's command, he wouldn't have bothered associating with Anjuurou.

Because it's truly embarrassing!

"Tch, who's afraid? Let's charge!"

Anjuurou's face was grim and uncertain. Then, he gritted his teeth and led his team to continue charging forward.

Ye Liangnai here!

"They've all followed us? Excellent, it seems our enemy forces are quite cooperative!!"

Seeing that the allied forces behind them were still in hot pursuit without any sign of retreat, Ye Liangnai thought that the enemy's move was really nice!
