Chapter 191: Killing Only Requires a Nod
After Li Jiexuan and his group left, inside the Konoha Allied Forces' camp…
"Lord Jing, Li Jiexuan's group has departed." The reconnaissance ninja lowered his head as he reported their movements.
"Mm, got it." Uchiha Jing remained calm and unmoved. In his eyes, Li Jiexuan and his group were nothing more than shameless opportunists, trying to gain political merit through war. After hitting a wall here, their departure had been almost inevitable…
However, what the intelligence officer said next completely stunned him.
"After leaving the allied forces, they headed straight for Sunagakure!"
"What?!"
Uchiha Jing's mouth fell open. He simply couldn't believe that just three people would dare to go to Sunagakure to throw their lives away. Were they not afraid of death? The current Sunagakure—let alone a person—even a stray dog passing by would be blasted into minced meat by countless ninjutsu…
What shocked Uchiha Jing even more was: "Didn't that Li Jiexuan kill the Kazekage before?"
"…" The intelligence officer silently nodded.
"He's a madman!"
At the same time, outside Sunagakure…
"Captain Jiexuan, don't you think we've gone crazy?" Hyuga Yizhen activated his Byakugan and carefully dismantled the 102nd trap they had encountered along the way.
Beside him, Might Guy was drenched in cold sweat. If not for Hyuga Yizhen being there, with his careless personality, he would have probably been blown to pieces by the dense traps long before reaching this point…
"Crazy?"
Li Jiexuan bared his teeth in a feral grin. "As the saying goes, without madness, there's no survival. This time, I'm going to smash through and shake the heavens!"
Continuing forward, the group finally saw Sunagakure. A massive circular canyon surrounded the entire village, with only a narrow passage serving as the sole entrance…
Such natural terrain was indeed easy to defend and hard to attack!
In the silent night, the evening breeze drifted gently, but aside from that faint wind, not even the chirping of insects could be heard. Though no one was visible, the almost tangible killing intent in the air told Li Jiexuan one thing: only heaven knew how many ninja were hidden within the canyon passage…
"Gulp~"
Hyuga Yizhen swallowed hard. "Captain Jiexuan, what do we do now?"
"What do we do?"
Li Jiexuan grinned lightly. "The road is right beneath our feet—just walk forward!"
As he spoke, Li Jiexuan placed the Flying Thunder God kunai into Might Guy's hand and, as if no one else was around, swaggered straight toward Sunagakure…
"It's over, Captain Jiexuan has gone crazy!" Hyuga Yizhen widened his eyes, full of distress. "Uncle Might Guy, what are you standing there for? Hurry and pull the captain back!"
After a moment of silence, Might Guy gently shook his head. "Trust little Jiexuan. When have you ever seen him act recklessly? I bet he definitely has a good plan to sneak into Sunagakure!"
Before Might Guy even finished speaking…
"Sunagakure is just a giant turtle shell, and the Sand ninja are all cowardly turtles hiding inside!" Li Jiexuan stood outside the canyon, hands on his hips, loudly shouting. "Are all you Sand ninja spineless? Dare to come out and face me!"
"..."
Might Guy and Hyuga Yizhen were both stunned, looking at each other in confusion. "What is Captain Jiexuan doing?"
"Of course, he's provoking them!" Coming from Earth—home to the fiercest masters of verbal sparring—Li Jiexuan knew that when the enemy hid behind an easily defensible stronghold and refused to come out, the first thing to do was provoke them!
And this was nothing compared to what some ruthless figures in history had done—like sending women's clothing or even menstrual cloths to their enemies…
However, the history of the Naruto world was short; they didn't even have proper battle formations, let alone a culture of verbal provocation. Watching Li Jiexuan grow more and more enthusiastic with his insults, Hyuga Yizhen and Might Guy both covered their faces in embarrassment…
"Killing only requires a nod!"
