An ambush

A group of people charged in aggressively, prompting Yang Xing and his group to immediately take action.

"Yahiko!" Nagato leaped up and, without a second thought, bypassed the ninjas and charged straight out.

Yang Xing could clearly see that the other party's leading ninja had a slight smile on his lips.

"That idiot!" Yang Xing frowned, watching Nagato leave with bated breath; it was indeed difficult to catch up.

These people were clearly lying in ambush with a purpose. When Nagato jumped out, no one chased after him. It was obvious that their purpose in coming here was to inform Nagato about that matter and then stop them.

"Nagato!" Even if Konan wanted to catch up now, it would be impossible. After deliberately letting Nagato escape, the other side wouldn't intend to let anyone else escape.

They charged forward at Konan, immediately engaging in a protracted battle.

Although Konan was quite strong, she was no match for the many opponents and was quickly forced back.

Her pretty face was filled with anger, and she had an urgent expression.

Seeing that the group of people did not make any move, but instead surrounded them, none of them stepped forward to attack, clearly forming a defensive formation.

"Yang Xing, what about this group?" Tsunade also sensed something was wrong. The group in front was trying to buy time, and now Nagato, who left first, was definitely in danger.

"Hmm, these guys are just pawns, pawns to prevent us from getting through." Yang Xing glanced around, then sneered, "This number is really not enough."

"And you..."

"Tsunade- neechan, I don't like meddling in other people's business." Without waiting for Tsunade to speak, Yang Xing casually shrugged and said, "That Chidori Current just now used up most of my Chakra. I have enough Chakra left, but if some powerful guy suddenly appears, I won't be able to protect you."

"You're right." Tsunade nodded, understanding Yang Xing's meaning perfectly.

Furthermore, Tsunade isn't someone who's overly hot-blooded. With the wisdom to become Hokage, how could she be the kind of woman who easily sympathizes with others?

If she had to choose between Nagato and Yang Xing right now, she would definitely choose Yang Xing.

Yang Xing's Chakra cannot be wasted; she doesn't care whether that guy lives or dies.

"Nagato, is Nagato really in danger?"

Noticing the anxiety in Konan's eyes, Yang Xing sighed softly, calmed his expression, and said with an unprecedented seriousness, "I may not have explained my purpose, but actually, besides wanting you to help me establish an investigative organization, there's something else."

"Two individuals have their eyes on your Land of Rain. Their strength is no less than mine."

Remembering how powerful Yang Xing was, Konan was stunned by Yang Xing's words.

Tsunade, Shizune, and the others standing nearby all showed slight surprise on their faces.

Little Guren hadn't expected that this country would attract so many people. It seemed that this country was doomed. Glancing at Konan, Guren felt a bit of sympathy in her eyes.

As someone who has been through it, I understand very well that a small country has absolutely no chance of resisting a powerful ninja.

This is the cruelty of the ninja world!

"No, no, Nagato will die." Konan bit her lip, her face pale, and muttered, "Nagato is still injured. If Yahiko is also in danger, Nagato won't be able to save him."

He looked up at the ninja ahead, gritted his teeth, and tried to rush forward, but unfortunately, before he could take more than a few steps, he was stopped.

Konan's expression turned grim as she looked at Yang Xing blocking her way.

"Get out of the way, I need to save Nagato and Yahiko."

"Impossible. You can't get through alone. Even if you do, you can't save anyone. Instead, you'll be captured and become Nagato's weakness."

"Yes." Guren nodded in agreement. "Master, you're absolutely right. Going there will only make you a burden to that guy. In the end, both of you will be the first to die."

The word "master" brought a sense of comfort to Yang Xing's heart.

Guren is the most sensible Guren. Perhaps because she has experienced so much, she truly understands that there is only one person she can follow, and that person is even more powerful than Orochimaru and treats her better than Orochimaru.

Guren isn't a stupid girl; she understands that staying by Yang Xing's side is much better than Orochimaru.

Konan looked anxious. She understood the meaning behind their words perfectly, but she could only worry helplessly, not knowing what to do or say.

Her delicate face was deathly pale.

Seeing that the little girl looked like she was about to cry, Tsunade couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He coughed lightly, gave Yang Xing a slight glare, stepped forward, and said calmly, "Yang Xing, your strength is not bad."

There was a hidden meaning in those words. This one sentence immediately made Konan raise her head and look at Yang Xing with a certain expectation in her eyes.

Yang Xing, with his arms outstretched, looked rather lazy. "Tsunade- neechan, you should know that I don't like doing business at a loss."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then smiled, "Hey, kid."

With a smile, Tsunade stepped forward to Konan, bowed calmly, and said, "Your Konan, right? You've seen this guy's strength. If we're talking about who can rush out and save those two, there's only one person."

"Yang Xing?" Konan stared at the man's back, and she also understood that at the moment, this guy was the strongest and could help them.

"Yes, it's this kid in front of me. Although he doesn't look very good and likes to talk nonsense, as his older sister, I can assure you one thing." Tsunade finished speaking calmly, and unusually seriously, added, "He's definitely not a bad person."

"Really, it really can help me save Nagato and Yahiko." Konan said calmly, then stepped forward, her eyes fixed on Yang Xing with a hint of longing.

Seeing that Konan finally spoke, Yang Xing no longer tried to hide anything.

"That's possible." Yang Xing turned around and held up two fingers. "However, I came to the Land of Rain for two reasons: first, to find subordinates, and second, to establish the largest intelligence organization among the five kingdoms."

Konan listened quietly, noticing that Yang Xing's gaze was a little unusual, which immediately made her understand the meaning behind the powerful person's words.

Without even hesitating, Konan gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you, I promise to help you create the most important intelligence organization in the five countries, the largest and most powerful intelligence organization."

"The deal is done!"

Yang Xing curled his lips into a smile, and the instant that smile appeared, he leaped up and charged straight out.

The speed was so fast that the group of ninjas surrounding them barely had time to react.

"Damn it, we can't let this brat get away."

"Dry him to death."

Several people leaped forward, using Taijutsu to meet the attack head-on, while a few ninjas formed hand seals, preparing to unleash Ninjutsu.
