Almost Died from Showing Off, Returning Home to Develop Stealthily

At this moment, the main forces of Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure arrived, surrounding the fourteen Amegakure ninja and thirty-some samurai.

There were fifteen from Iwagakure, thirteen from Sunagakure, and nine from Kumogakure, all led by elite jonin!

As the three elite jonin arrived first, they immediately noticed the sandalwood box in the hands of the Amegakure ninja and saw the Daimyo Ginseng inside.

"Hand over the Daimyo Ginseng, and I will spare your lives!" the Iwagakure elite jonin leader said in a deep voice, his confidence bolstered by the fact that his side had the most men.

"Give the Daimyo Ginseng to me, and you may leave!" the leader of the Sunagakure group did not show any weakness either.

The elite jonin from Kumogakure did not speak, his eyes darting around shiftily.

Kuiling Hefan's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water; he knew he had no chance. With only his few men, fighting against the forces of three major ninja villages was a guaranteed death sentence. The opposition had three elite jonin!

Yet, feeling deeply unwilling, he asked, "To whom should I give it?"

The leaders of Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure exchanged glances. Finally, the Kumogakure captain suggested, "I have a proposal: let's wipe out these Amegakure ninja first, and then we rely on our own abilities. Whoever grabs it gets to keep it."

This proposal made the other two nod in agreement.

When tigers fight, how can they allow a fisherman to stand by? This was practically an unwritten rule among the Five Great Ninja Villages. We may fight among ourselves, but we must never let other small villages rise to power by taking advantage of the situation. This was the consistent style of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"No! I'll hand it over!" Seeing this, Kuiling Hefan could no longer worry about sowing discord and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, too late. Wipe out the Amegakure ninja first. Iwagakure, what do you say?" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Sunagakure captain.

"Do it!" The Iwagakure captain was ruthless and brief; no sooner had he finished speaking than he launched an attack on the Amegakure position: "Earth Style: Rock Lodging Collapse!"

The Kumogakure captain also pressed his hands to the ground after weaving signs: "Lightning Style: Earth Flash!"

The Sunagakure ninja released their puppets, and from the mouths and hands of these puppets, various poison-tipped needles and shuriken were sprayed out.

In that instant, even though the Amegakure ninja tried their best to defend, seven of them were instantly severely wounded, and nearly half of the thirty samurai were crushed to death by the rocks falling from the surrounding cliffs.

"No! We are willing to hand over the Daimyo Ginseng!" Kuiling Hefan, having barely survived the first wave of attacks, was on the verge of tears; this was bullying. He snatched the sandalwood box from his subordinate and threw it into the air.

Sure enough, the moment they saw the Daimyo Ginseng thrown into the air, the ninja from the three villages stopped their attacks, fearing they might destroy the treasure.

The three elite jonin were the first to move, rushing to snatch it.

Kuiling Hefan's tactic was more effective than any words; the pressure on the Amegakure side eased significantly. Instead, the three major villages, who had just been talking about cooperating to wipe out the Amegakure ninja, began attacking each other.

Just as the scene descended into extreme chaos and a four-way melee, no one noticed a small figure hiding behind a protruding rock on the cliff face.

On the cliff walls around him, dense layers of Explosive Tags were plastered everywhere!

If one looked closely, the opposite cliff was the same; this section of the Great Warm Valley had become a terrifying burial ground!

Seeing the three major villages attacking each other, Kuiling Hefan, feeling deeply unreconciled, suddenly felt there was an opportunity to be seized.

The next moment, he joined the scramble for the Daimyo Ginseng. With this, the melee between the four elite jonin became even more intense. Around them, the ground cracked and collapsed, followed by swarms of poison needles and sand, while lightning flickered and thunder roared within the fray.

Suddenly, Kuiling Hefan seized an opening. While the other three were locked in a clash, he snatched the Daimyo Ginseng.

This immediately drew a combined assault from the other three!

A lightning-enveloped fist slammed into his chest, leaving it a charred, bloody mess. Just as he was sent flying and landed, "Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear!" caused sharp spikes to erupt from the ground. Kuiling Hefan's heart skipped a beat! In his moment of crisis, just as he prepared to use a defensive jutsu, he felt his entire body go numb. He hadn't realized when he had been struck in the waist by several poison needles. Immediately after, one of his arms was pierced by the spikes from the ground.

In an instant, the Amegakure elite jonin Kuiling Hefan was severely wounded by the combined strike of the three.

The battle between the jonin of each side was also incredibly brutal, and many of the chunin were severely injured.

"That's about enough..." On the cliff wall, the small figure huddled behind the protruding rock, revealing a sinister smile: "Art is an explosion!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM!" As the Explosive Tags were detonated, a series of deafening roars shook the air!

When the four warring parties reacted, it felt as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting. Massive amounts of rock tumbled down from the cliffs on both sides, completely burying this entire area.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Great Warm Valley, Xian Yu, who had taken a detour with Shinozaki Ayumi, had just picked up a Black Iron Treasure Chest when a series of notifications rang in his ears.

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Black Iron Treasure Chest x1"
"Host killed one Iwagakure chunin, Killing Points +100"
"Host killed one Kumogakure genin, Killing Points +10"
"Host killed one Kumogakure chunin, Killing Points +100"

"Host killed one Sunagakure chunin, Killing Points +100"
"Host killed one Amegakure genin, Killing Points +10"
"Host killed one Amegakure elite jonin, Killing Points +2000"

"Host has killed..."

Xian Yu's hand froze in mid-air. Although his Shadow Clone had also been blown to bits by the Refined Explosive Tags, and Shadow Clones did not transmit memories back if they dissipated due to abnormal seal-breaking, he still learned through the system that three major ninja villages had joined the fray over there. He immediately opened the Slaughter Shop.

ˉ_(ツ)_/ˉ Still can't afford anything...

"Honestly, that old thief Danzo is ruthless enough. I told him to notify the Sand Shinobi, but the bastard actually lured the Rock Shinobi and Cloud Shinobi over as well... If Kirigakure wasn't so far away that they couldn't make it in time, it would have definitely been a four-way ninja village melee..." Xian Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling fortunate that he had run away quickly.

He seemed to have a clue about the items in the Slaughter Shop; it appeared that once he obtained a treasure of a certain value, it would be added to the Slaughter Shop's inventory, allowing him to purchase it with Slaughter Points.

This was also the reason why Xian Yu had directly given up on the Daimyo Ginseng, choosing to use it as bait and spending 200 diamonds to purchase one thousand Refined Explosive Tags for his trap.

He had originally possessed 439 diamonds, spent 150 on opening a Bronze Treasure Chest, and later spent 200 on the explosive tags, leaving his current diamond balance at only 89.

Summary of gains from this outing: 1. Xiao Qi evolved into a Six-Tailed Fox. 2. Opened a bottle of Super God Water from a Bronze Treasure Chest. 3. Obtained 3,870 Slaughter Points. 4. Added Daimyo Ginseng to the Slaughter Shop. 5. Gained a bodyguard, Ya Midie.

And the losses:

1. Consumed 1,361 diamonds, 1,000 of which were forcibly swindled by the system.

2. The Eternal Spirit Blade requires half a month to a month to replenish its exhausted life force.

3. A pile of gems worth over 50 million ryo was gained and then lost; the mental trauma was immense...

"Since Xiao Qi can't be summoned for a month, it's too dangerous to stay out here... I might as well buy some Spirit Rice Seeds and go back to the village to farm... I wonder if Hiruko has managed to develop the tech tree yet... I really just want to go back to being my little internet cafe manager." Xian Yu's heart was set on returning home.
