This girl was really adorable. In my previous life, I couldn't have found a wife like this even with a lantern.

Seeing Mikoto busy, Liuyun wasn't in a hurry. He headed straight for where Nawaki was.

In a small grove not far from there.

Senju Nawaki leaned against a large tree, panting heavily as he rested.

Shuriken and kunai lay scattered messily all around him.

His body and face were covered in scars left from his training.

Perhaps because he had witnessed the harshness of the battlefield, over the past two months, aside from doing odd jobs in logistics, Senju Nawaki had been training hard here.

"Liuyun! What brings you here?"

Hearing the commotion, Senju Nawaki instinctively showed a hint of wariness in his eyes. But when he saw who had arrived, he instantly brightened.

"I wanted to ask whether you'd like to learn your clan's Summoning Technique!"

Liuyun smiled faintly, his eyes spinning like those of a sly little fox.

"No! I don't like that soft, squishy thing!"

Thinking of Katsuyu's appearance, Senju Nawaki shuddered involuntarily.

"You dislike it that much? Excellent! Excellent!"

A smile played at the corner of Liuyun's mouth. In an instant, he flashed before Nawaki.

The Sharingan spun, and Nawaki immediately became dazed.

"Hmph! You could've just said you liked it. Why make me do it myself?"

Liuyun muttered under his breath, then took out the Summoning Scroll for Shikkotsu Forest that Tsunade had given her before leaving.

He sliced Nawaki's finger with a kunai from beside him, then controlled Nawaki and had him write his name on the scroll!

"Done! A great job completed!" Liuyun was very pleased as he admired his handiwork.

Next, he summoned two Katsuyu and said with a smile,

"Katsuyu, please take Nawaki to Shikkotsu Forest to train. As for what he should learn, use your judgment. This contains a month's worth of food and water for Nawaki!"

"After a month, I'll have Tsunade come pick him up!"

As he spoke, Liuyun wrapped a Sealing Scroll around Nawaki's body.

"Understood, Lord Liuyun!"

Katsuyu spoke softly. "Please have Lord Nawaki touch my body!"

Liuyun directly controlled Nawaki and had him grab Katsuyu's body!

Just as Katsuyu performed the Reverse Summoning Technique, Liuyun released Nawaki from the Genjutsu.

"Brother-in-law, don't blame me. Your sister made me do this!"

Looking at Nawaki, who had vanished without a trace, Liuyun whispered earnestly.

When he returned to logistics, Mikoto had already finished treating the wounded and was resting nearby.

The moment she saw Liuyun, a smile blossomed across her little face.

She ran over to him on her short legs and looked up with her little head tilted. "Why are you here?"

"I'm going out for a while!" Liuyun gently stroked Mikoto's smooth little face and spoke warmly.

"Going out? Is it dangerous?" Hearing that Liuyun was leaving, Mikoto's little face immediately grew tense. 0 ...

"Not dangerous! I'm just delivering a message to Tsunade! I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest!"

Liuyun lied without batting an eye. He didn't want his little wife to worry about him.

"Then be careful!" The worry in his little wife's eyes made Liuyun wish he could instantly become the registered resident of Eastern Wu.

But he forcibly held himself back. There was plenty of time ahead, so there was no need to rush! He would soon be able to arrange the emperor's new clothes for Mikoto!

"Okay!" Liuyun nodded heavily.

After saying that, Liuyun feared he wouldn't be able to withstand his little wife's tenderness, so he flashed away and disappeared on the spot.

Only his little wife remained standing there, staring blankly with deep affection.

After a long while, she finally murmured to herself, "Liuyun, you have to come back!"

Konoha's main camp was near the Land of Rivers, in order to guard against the Land of Wind.

It wasn't far from the border of the Land of Rain. At Liuyun's speed, he reached the vicinity of the Land of Rain after running at full speed for two hours.

When he arrived at the Konoha Camp stationed near the Land of Rain, several figures had already been waiting there for a long time.

"Lord Liuyun! You're here!" a Konoha Ninja said excitedly.

"I'll report the current situation to you right away!" a Yamanaka Clan ninja said anxiously.

"No need! Just launch an attack on the Rain Ninja!"

"Use the battle as an opportunity to draw in all the Rain Ninja guarding the surrounding area 1.2. That should make it much easier for Tsunade and the others to break out!"

"But Hanzō—"

"He's mine!"

Liuyun sneered. If he wasn't mistaken, this battle seemed to be the one in which Hanzō granted Tsunade and the others the title of Sannin.

With Liuyun present, the Konoha Ninja seemed to have found their backbone. Nara Beigen immediately organized everyone and declared war on the Rain Ninja.

A moment later, under Nara Beigen's leadership, a group of Konoha Ninja charged into the Land of Rain!

"Konoha Ninja? Are they trying to rescue Princess Tsunade and the others with that old trick again?"

Rain Ninja commander Narakus of the Salamander crossed his arms and sneered repeatedly after hearing his subordinate's report.

"Send some people to defend. Our mission is to stop Princess Tsunade and the others from escaping here."

"As long as we capture Princess Tsunade and the others, we'll win this battle."

"Understood!" a Rain Ninja replied before hurrying away..

The system wants me to show off again!

Because Liuyun was overseeing the battle, all the Konoha Ninja present fought extremely hard.

It was as if they wanted to vent all the frustration they had suffered over the past few days.

Damn it, it would be one thing if the Land of Wind attacked us, but how dare a minor ninja village like you attack us too??

Do you really think we're harmless little lambs that anyone can bully?

At that moment, every Konoha Ninja unleashed one ultimate move after another, hurling shuriken and kunai recklessly at the Rain Ninja opposite them.

The Rain Ninja were somewhat dumbfounded by Konoha's sudden, overwhelming barrage of firepower.

What was wrong with Konoha? Had they eaten gunpowder?

Weren't the attacks a few days ago just battles between Genin, while the middle and upper ranks watched, tossing a few shuriken and casually using a couple of C-rank Ninjutsu?

Why had everyone from Genin to Elite Jonin come out today?

Damn it, the Ninjutsu were at least C-rank. Several fire dragons flew everywhere, and there were even some large-scale A-rank Ninjutsu!

Combined with some Wind Release and large-scale composite Wind and Fire Release techniques, the Rain Ninja's defensive line nearly collapsed under Konoha's barrage.

"Quick! Go inform Deputy Commander Narakus! Konoha is serious this time. Tell him to send reinforcements immediately. Forget about Princess Tsunade and the others for now—we won't be able to hold out if he's late!"

A Rain Ninja captain anxiously roared at a Rain Ninja behind him. 09

"Yes!"

The Rain Ninja had just turned to leave when the ground began to shake. Leading the arrival was Hanzo of the Salamander's cousin, Narakus of the Salamander.

Narakus had originally been guarding against Tsunade and the others escaping, but after seeing the fire dragons and the fluctuations from several large-scale Ninjutsu in the distance, he could no longer sit still.

He immediately understood that Konoha wasn't fooling around this time. He withdrew the surrounding Rain Ninja at once and led them over to reinforce this position.

"Lord Narakus, you're here!" Seeing him arrive, Kojiro, the Rain Ninja captain guarding the area, wore a delighted expression.

"Yes. Water Release users, extinguish the fire dragons around us. Earth Release, raise multiple earth walls immediately. Wind Release, coordinate with Water Release..."

Narakus remained calm and clear-minded as he issued orders in an orderly fashion.

As Narakus's commands rang out, the panicked Rain Ninja quickly steadied themselves and began using various Ninjutsu.

The attacks from the Konoha Ninja were blocked one by one by the Rain Ninja.

"Lord Liuyun! That's the Rain Ninja's deputy commander, Hanzo of the Salamander's cousin, Narakus of the Salamander!"

A Hyuga Clan ninja pointed at the young man who had suddenly appeared.

"Lord Liuyun, should we continue attacking?" Nara Beigen asked with a frown.

With Narakus and the other Rain Ninja joining the battle, Konoha no longer held much of an advantage.

The two sides had comparable numbers. If they continued fighting, they would only become locked in a stalemate.

"Sigh! Have everyone withdraw!"

Liuyun sighed. If he didn't intervene, this battle would remain the same even after a year.

"This? Lord Liuyun? I understand!"

Confusion filled Nara Beigen's eyes. Could Lord Liuyun be about to act?

After making that connection, an excited smile immediately appeared on Nara Beigen's face.

"Pass on the order! Sound the retreat! Everyone, come back!" Nara Beigen shouted.

Before long, the Konoha Ninja who had been fighting enthusiastically withdrew to their camp with dissatisfied expressions.

"Deputy Commander Beigen, why are we retreating?" a Yamanaka Clan ninja asked unhappily.

"Why? Because you couldn't break through the Rain Ninja's defensive line in the short term!" Nara Beigen replied irritably.

"That's enough! Watch carefully! Lord Liuyun is going to act!!"

"Lord Liuyun is going to act?" Upon hearing this, all the dissatisfied Konoha Ninja fell silent, excitement appearing on their faces.

Everyone present knew that Liuyun was powerful. Many had heard about his deeds, but not one of them had actually seen him fight.

To be honest, some Konoha Ninja resented Liuyun's lofty status.

They had only heard the legends and had never personally seen him fight. Anyone would feel uncomfortable under those circumstances.

It was almost as if the stories were nothing but rumors. Now that Liuyun was going to act, they naturally wanted to see with their own eyes whether he was truly as powerful as the legends claimed.

Liuyun had no idea what these ninjas were thinking, nor did he care to know.

He only wanted to find Tsunade as quickly as possible, return to the Konoha Main Camp, and put fried skewers into Mikoto's mouth.

"Lord Liuyun! Everyone has returned!" Nara Beigen respectfully reported after counting the troops.

"Good!"

Liuyun nodded. The next instant, his entire figure vanished silently from everyone's sight.

"What is Konoha doing? Why did they leave after fighting for only a little while?"

Narakus was completely baffled by Konoha's tactics.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky and appeared in the midst of the still-dazed Rain Ninja.

"Brat, who are you?"

Looking at Liuyun, who had suddenly appeared, a Rain Ninja spoke hostilely.

Liuyun crossed his arms and swept his eyes over the surrounding Rain Ninja. His expression was calm, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

"Ding! The time has come for the host to show off!" 1. Say little, be ruthless, and choose the aloof style of showing off. Reward: Mental Energy increased by ten percent! 2. Say a classic showing-off line, then clear the way with a powerful move. Reward: Constitution increased by ten percent!
