Chapter 49

This girl is really so adorable. Being able to have a wife like this in this life is something you couldn't find with a lantern in the previous world.

Seeing that Mikoto was busy, Liuyun wasn't in a rush and headed straight toward the place where Senju Nawaki was.

It was a small grove not far from here.

Senju Nawaki was panting as he leaned against a large tree to rest.

All around were scattered Shuriken and Kunai.

His body and face were covered everywhere in scars left over from previous training.

Perhaps having witnessed the harshness of the battlefield, Senju Nawaki had spent these past two months either doing odd jobs in logistics or training hard right here.

"Liuyun! Why are you here?"

After hearing the commotion, Senju Nawaki instinctively had a trace of vigilance in his eyes, but upon seeing who it was, he instantly became happy.

"I want to ask, do you want to learn your family's Summoning Technique!"

Liuyun smiled faintly, his pupils spinning round and round like a cunning little fox.

"I don't want to! I really dislike that soft and squishy thing!"

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

"You dislike it that much? Not bad! Not bad!"

With a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Liuyun suddenly flashed and appeared right in front of Nawaki.

The Sharingan spun, and the Nawaki before him instantly became dazed.

"Hmph! If you'd just said you liked it, that would've been it. You had to make me do it myself!"

Liuyun muttered in a low voice and took out the Sealing Scroll regarding Shikkotsu Forest that Tsunade had given him before leaving.

Using a nearby Kunai, he sliced Nawaki's finger and manipulated Nawaki into writing his name on the scroll!

"Done! The major project is complete!" Looking at his own masterpiece, Liuyun was very satisfied.

Then he summoned two Katsuyu and smiled gently.

"Katsuyu! Sorry for the trouble, take Nawaki to Shikkotsu Forest to train. As for what to learn, you figure it out. Inside here is a month's worth of food and water for Nawaki!"

"A month from now, I'll have Tsunade go pick him up!"

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

"Understood, Lord Liuyun!"

Katsuyu spoke softly, "Sorry for the trouble, Lord Nawaki, please touch my body!"

Liuyun directly manipulated Nawaki to grab Katsuyu's body!

The moment Katsuyu executed the Reverse Summoning Technique, Liuyun released the Genjutsu on Nawaki.

"Brother-in-law, don't blame me, it's all your sister's idea!"

Watching Nawaki vanish without a trace, Liuyun whispered earnestly.

Returning to logistics once more, Mikoto had already finished treatment and was resting to one side.

Upon seeing Liuyun, a smile immediately bloomed on her small face.

She took short steps, trotted over to Liuyun, raised her small head, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm going out for a bit!" Liuyun stroked Mikoto's smooth, delicate face and spoke gently.

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

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

Liuyun lied without blinking an eye; he certainly didn't want his little wife to worry about him.

"Then be a little careful!" The worry in his little wife's eyes made Liuyun wish he could instantly transform into an Eastern Wu Household Registration.

Yet Liuyun stubbornly held it in. There will be plenty of time in the future, no need to rush! The Emperor's New Clothes could be arranged for Mikoto very soon!

"Okay!" Liuyun nodded heavily.

With that, terrified that he wouldn't be able to endure his little wife's tenderness, Liuyun's figure flashed and he vanished right on the spot.

Only the little wife was left staying in place, looking deeply affectionate.

After a long while, she murmured softly, "Liuyun, you must come back safely!"

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

It was not very far from the border of the Land of Rain. At Liuyun's speed, running at full tilt, he appeared near the Land of Rain in two hours.

Arriving at the Konoha Camp stationed near the Land of Rain, the moment he stepped inside, several figures had already been waiting here for a long time.

"Lord Liuyun! You've arrived!" A Konoha Ninja spoke with some excitement.

"I will brief you on the current situation right away!" A Yamanaka Clan ninja spoke anxiously.

"No need! You guys just head straight out and start the war against the Rain Ninja!"

"Taking advantage of the outbreak of war, I'll draw in all the Rain Ninja guarding the surrounding area. Then Tsunade and the others should be able to break through easily!"

"But Hanzō!"

"Leave him to me!"

Liuyun let out a cold laugh. If he remembered correctly, this battle seemed to be what led Hanzō to bestow the title of Sannin upon Tsunade and the others.

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

A moment later, led by Nara Beigen, a group of Konoha ninja charged into the Land of Rain!

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

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

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

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

"Understood!" one of the Rain Ninja replied before hurriedly leaving.

The system wants me to show off again!

In this war, with Liuyun holding the fort, all the Konoha ninja present fought exceptionally hard.

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

Damn it, fine, the Land of Wind attacking us is one thing, but how dare a small ninja village like you attack us too?

Do you really think we're meek little sheep? Anyone can bully us?

At this moment, every Konoha ninja unleashed one ultimate move after another, hurling Shuriken and Kunai recklessly at the Rain Ninja opposite them.

The Rain Ninja on the other side were dumbfounded by Konoha's sudden, overwhelming barrage of firepower.

What happened to Konoha? Did they take some kind of stimulants?

Weren't the attacks from the past few days just battles between Genin, with the middle and upper ranks watching the show, throwing a few Shuriken for appearances' sake and casually using a few C-rank Ninjutsu?

Why are the Genin through the Elite Jonin all out today?

Damn it, their Ninjutsu are at least C-rank. Several fire dragons are flying everywhere, and there are 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 was nearly breached by this wave of Konoha attacks in an instant.

"Quick! Go notify Deputy Commander Naraku! Konoha is serious this time! Tell him to send reinforcements quickly and forget about Princess Tsunade and the others for now. If we're late, we won't be able to hold them back!"

A Rain Ninja captain shouted anxiously at a Rain Ninja behind him.

"Yes!"

Just as the Rain Ninja was about to leave, the ground suddenly began to shake. Leading the newcomers was the cousin of Hanzo of the Salamander—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 realized that Konoha was not fooling around this time. He withdrew the surrounding Rain Ninja at once and brought them here as reinforcements.

"Lord Naraku, you've arrived!" Seeing him, Kojiro, the Rain Ninja captain guarding this place, wore a delighted expression.

"Mm! Water Release users, put out the surrounding fire dragons. Earth Release users, raise multiple earth walls immediately. Wind Release users, coordinate with Water Release..."

Narakus remained calm and composed, issuing orders clearly and methodically.

Following Narakus's orders, the panicked Rain Ninja quickly settled down and began using various Ninjutsu.

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

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

A ninja from the Hyuga Clan 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 forces. If they continued fighting, they would only become locked in a stalemate.

"Sigh! Have everyone withdraw!"

Liuyun sighed. If he did not take action himself, they could fight for an entire year and still end up no different.

"This... Lord Liuyun? I understand!"

Doubt filled Nara Beigen's eyes. Could Lord Liuyun be planning to make a move?

Upon thinking of this, Nara Beigen immediately broke into an excited smile.

"Pass down the order! Sound the gong and withdraw! Everyone, come back!" Nara Beigen shouted.

Before long, the Konoha ninja who had been fighting with great enthusiasm withdrew to their camp, all wearing dissatisfied expressions.

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

"Why? Because you can't break through the Rain Ninja's defensive line anytime soon!" Nara Beigen snapped irritably.

"Alright! Take a good look, everyone! Lord Liuyun is about to make a move!!"

"Lord Liuyun is going to move?" Hearing this, all the disgruntled Konoha Ninja fell silent, excitement appearing on their faces.

Everyone present knew Liuyun was strong and had heard many of his exploits, but not a single one of them had actually seen Liuyun in action.

To be honest, some Konoha Ninja held a bit of resentment toward Liuyun having such a high status.

Having only heard legends without ever seeing you make a move with your own eyes, no one would feel comfortable with that.

It was just like a rumor, and now that Liuyun was about to strike, they naturally wanted to see with their own eyes whether this legend was truly as formidable as people said.

What these Ninja were thinking, Liuyun did not know, nor did he care to.

He just wanted to find Tsunade quickly, return to the Konoha Main Camp, and put the deep-fried skewers into Mikoto's mouth.

"Lord Liuyun! Everyone is back!" After finishing the headcount, Nara Beigen came before Liuyun and spoke respectfully.

"Good!"

Liuyun nodded, and the next instant, his entire person silently vanished from everyone's sight.

"What is Konoha playing at? How are they leaving after fighting for just a little while?"

Narakus of the Salamander was left completely baffled by Konoha's style of fighting.

Just at that moment, a figure dropped from the sky, appearing amidst the still-dazed Rain Ninja.

"What kind of brat are you?"

Gazing at the suddenly appearing Liuyun, a Rain Ninja spoke with an ominous expression.

Liuyun crossed his arms over his chest, swept his gaze across the surrounding Rain Ninja, and remained calm, his expression devoid of emotional fluctuation.
