"Is that guy really Ye Liangnai?!"
"I don't know, but something feels off. We must remain vigilant!"
"I haven't heard anything about him completing his mission!"
Even if what he said is true, we must remain absolutely vigilant towards him!
"Moreover, all of this is based on the premise that he is indeed Ye Liangnai, and that he has absolutely no hostility!"
Due to the sudden arrival of Ye Liangnai, the battles between Juzo Biwa, Zabuza, and the others were temporarily suspended.
Their opponents were the same; the appearance of this Ye Liangnai was so strange that it was impossible to determine her stance.
Before we proceed, let's observe the situation first.
"Hopefully, his battle with Tenzo will reveal something!" This was the thought on both sides' minds.
"You're quite calm, but if you don't take the initiative, then I won't be polite!"
Having said that, Ye Liangnai immediately transformed into a phantom and swiftly appeared in front of Tenzo, wielding her long sword with a cold, gleaming light.
"So fast!!!"
Both sides were shocked by Ye Liangnai's terrifying attack speed.
"Sizzle!"
Tenzo's pupils instantly shrank to needle size, and he felt a chill run through his body.
But it wasn't until Ye Liangnai left a cut on him that he realized what was happening and retreated.
The reaction speeds are on completely different levels.
"Water Release: Water Spear Technique!"
But before Tenzo could react in any other way—
Ye Liangnai released three incredibly condensed water bullets that pierced through Tenzo's body, as if she hadn't even formed any hand seals.
"Ah!!!"
Three bloody holes suddenly appeared on Tenzo, causing him to scream in agony.
"Although I've only upgraded my Water Spear Technique to B-level, with my current strength, its power is probably comparable to that of an A-level weapon!"
As Ye Liangnai thought to herself, she once again approached Tenzo, her long sword pointing directly at Tenzo's neck.
"Not good!"
"Quickly, save them!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Konoha members were shocked and immediately took action.
"Earth Release · Earth Flow Wall!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha, unleashed their techniques one after the other.
One protected Tenzo inside, while the other aimed its attack directly at Ye Liangnai.
Normally, if the target is protected and the ninja is attacked from both sides, any ninja should retreat immediately.
Itachi Uchiha and Kakashi thought the same thing!
But--
"Puff puff puff!"
Ye Liangnai was hit directly without dodging or avoiding the attack, leaving everyone present stunned.
"He won't be able to avoid it?"
Itachi Uchiha looked at Ye Liangnai who had been hit and thought to himself in disbelief.
Impossible!
He knew all too well how fast Ye Liangnai's reaction speed was!
He could easily dodge such attacks!
But the next moment, he realized why Ye Liangnai hadn't dodged!
"Sizzle!"
Upon being struck, Ye Liangnai immediately turned into a pool of water and evaporated!
"Water Clone? Water vapor? Wait a minute!!"
Upon seeing this, Itachi Uchiha first exclaimed in amazement at how fast Ye Liangnai could unleash her ninjutsu, and then suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Attack quickly, Captain Kakashi! Don't let him use the Mist Concealment Technique!"
"His aim is to use the Mist Concealment Technique to obscure our vision and then seize the opportunity to steal the Nako Stone!"
As he shouted, he unleashed a five-meter-long fireball that scorched the area.
"What?!!"
Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's words, not only were the people of Konoha stunned, but the people of Kirigakure were also taken aback.
Is this even possible?
"As expected of Itachi Uchiha, he saw through my intentions so quickly, but you're too late!"
"Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!"
Ye Liangnai's voice of praise rang out, and then a thick fog instantly enveloped everyone from both Konoha Kirigakure.
In an instant, everyone's ears were quiet, a silence that was unsettling.
Visibility was less than half a meter, and the line of sight was completely blocked.
Everyone immediately became alert, focusing intently and not daring to relax for a moment.
"There wasn't a sound at all! Is this the White Cold Light's Mist Concealment Technique? It's terrifying!"
Kakashi tried to calm down and listen to his surroundings to make a corresponding judgment.
Unfortunately, there was no sound at all!
"This is really troublesome. It's White Cold Light that can't make a sound, which means we can't transmit information through sound!"
"Unless I can quickly contact a sensory ninja, the current situation cannot be alleviated!"
Itachi Uchiha also vigilantly looked around, including at his feet, to prevent being ambushed.
As for rushing out, that's impossible. Without knowing the surrounding situation, a rash attack would only result in friendly fire or serious injury to others.
"Damn it, this is putting us in a dilemma, isn't it just letting him get away with it!"
Among the Konoha members, an Anbu clenched his fist anxiously, then revealed a resolute expression.
"Captain Kakashi, I'm sorry, I might have accidentally hurt you!"
"However, I think this sacrifice is worthwhile for the sake of the Nako Stone. It's all for the Lord Hokage!"
Thinking of this, the Anbu started forming hand seals! He was actually about to unleash an attack.
"This guy really isn't Ye Liangnai; he attacked us too!"
"Zabuza, use Wind Release to disperse it. The Nako Stone must not fall into his hands, nor can it be obtained by that guy from Konoha!"
While the Konoha ninjas were completely blind, the Kirigakure ninjas could hear each other's voices. Juzo Biwa quickly gave the order.
This was naturally intentional on Ye Liangnai. Kirigakure would not give Konoha the treatment they hoped for; they should at least have some minor privileges.
"Understood, Wind Release..."
Zabuza and the others responded and prepared to form hand seals, but before they were even halfway through, they suddenly felt a violent sense of danger approaching.
"Sizzle!"
A barrage of lightning struck them directly, forcing them to retreat hastily to avoid the lightning.
Moreover, the most amazing thing is that the fog actually dissipated at this moment.
A group of ninja from Kumogakure attacked both Konoha and Kirigakure.
Their faces still held a mixture of ferocity, excitement, and astonishment.
As for the surprise, it probably comes from the fact that the fog dissipated so quickly.
They plan to use this fog to severely damage the ninjas of Kirigakure Konoha!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The group of Cloud Ninja had no choice but to retreat quickly.
Without the fog, they dared not be overconfident, thinking they could fight against both the Kirigakure and the Konoha Ninja at the same time.
However, neither Konoha Kirigakure are currently focusing their attention on them.
It was in the vanished Ye Liangnai.
