I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

The venue has turned into a paradise of purple lightning, with large-scale purple lightning covering the entire battlefield.

Thousands of lightning bolts like pythons rushed towards Ye Lan. If Kakashi stared at Ye Lan's pupils at this moment, he would find that they were different from the original cross shape. The Sharingan had evolved to a new level.

The dark chakara enveloped Ye Lan's body like ink, and even though Kakashi had seen it many times, his heart trembled.

The Susanoo armor was formed directly from Ye Lan's body, and with the current chakra it could only barely form the third stage.

The demon-like Susanoo brought a lot of pressure to Konoha and others.

"What ninjutsu is this?"

When Naruto saw Susanoo for the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth. This ninjutsu was beyond his imagination.

Kai, who was still maintaining the six gates, jumped into the air and swung his fists quickly. Each punch was accompanied by flames, forming a staggered attack with Kakashi.

Facing the oncoming fireballs and lightning snakes, Ye Lan stood still and watched quietly as the opponent's attacks fell on Susanoo.

Kakashi and Gai's attacks produced loud explosions, and the dust that had disappeared filled the battlefield again.

When the smoke cleared, Susanoo remained intact. Kakashi and Guy's attacks didn't even break Susanoo's armor.

"You must be kidding. It has no effect at all."

Sakura had a new understanding of Ye Lan's strength. Before, when Ye Lan left the village, he mostly fought with Tsunade and Danzo, and the younger generations in the village had never witnessed it with their own eyes.

"No, the color of Susanoo has faded a bit, so our attacks are still effective."

Kakashi said as he launched the attack from the front.

Just as he said, Ye Lan's Susanoo was slowly dissolving, as if it could no longer maintain its current form.

"Fortunately, fortunately. If we continue to fight like this, I really don't know what our chances of winning are."

Tenten said somewhat dejectedly that they had originally planned to return to the village to rest after completing the mission, but Tsunade assigned them such a mission.

When encountering a senior like Ye Lan who is familiar to him, let alone whether he can take action, his strength alone is not on the same level.

What if I were to deal with Susanoo by myself? It would be a question whether the ninja tools in my hand could break through the defense.

"It looks like I can only play with you guys till this time."

Ye Lan had no sense of being defeated. He looked back at the barrier and said.

"It should be over inside, and I should leave."

"Ye Lan, do you just want to leave like that?"

Kakashi said as he looked at Ye Lan whose pupils had returned to black.

"Yes, Brother Ye Lan, you should come back to the village with us. Sensei Kakashi and I will plead for you."

Seeing that the battle situation was clear, Naruto also stepped forward to persuade Ye Lan.

"Ha, you don't think I was defeated by you, do you? I am just a clone here, although this clone is a little special."

Ye Lan smiled. Until now, the Xiao robe he was wearing had not fallen off. He did not look defeated at all.

"Doppelganger? How is that possible?"

Sakura covered her mouth. Ye Lan, with such strength, was just a clone, and he was able to block them for such a long time.

"Sure enough, I sensed something was wrong. How could your strength have declined instead of increased over the years?"

Kakashi, who knew Ye Lan better, also put away his moves. He had wasted too much energy on Ye Lan's clone, which almost consumed one-third of his chakra.

Naruto didn't think too much about it and started to look around.

"Since it's a clone, where is your real body hiding, Brother Ye Lan? It should be not far away, right?"

Looking at Naruto's funny expression, Ye Lan covered his face. He wanted to take back his praise for Naruto just now. What on earth had Jiraiya handed over to him over the years?

Kakashi stopped Naruto from continuing his search and said to Ye Lan.

"Naruto, there's no need to look for him. Ye Lan's real body should be far away from here. We should be thankful that it's not him who came here."

Kakashi also realized that Ye Lan did not want to fight with them, which was a good thing. And Ye Lan had said before that the Nine-Tails was not his share, which meant that Akatsuki already had someone prepared to deal with the Nine-Tails, but they didn't know who it was.

"Well, the chakra of this clone has been used up, and my mission is complete. Kakashi, please give me and the two advisors a final message."

Ye Lan's aura was not weakened at all without chakra, and others could clearly feel the strong murderous intent in him.

"I let them get away last time. You won't be so lucky next time. Let them wash their necks and wait. I won't let any of these people go."

Listening to Ye Lan's murderous words, Kakashi sighed. He was indeed still like this. It was no exaggeration to say that he was vindictive.

Seeing a group of students being intimidated by Ye Lan, Kakashi wanted to ease the atmosphere and spoke in a casual tone.

"I will help you convey this message, but I still remember that someone owes me 10 million taels of silver, and it seems that he hasn't paid it back yet."

Hearing these words, Ye Lan's momentum paused. Before others knew what was going on, Ye Lan's body fell straight to the ground.

Looking forward again, it was no longer Ye Lan's original face, but just an ordinary-looking ninja.

"It really is a clone. Even the White Eyes can't see through it."

Ningci walked forward and looked at the body, and could not see any connection with Ye Lan.

"Teacher Kakashi, what about the 10 million ryo you just mentioned? Does anyone owe you money?"

Naruto's curiosity was obviously attracted by Kakashi and he asked quickly.

"Idiot, is now the time to be fussing over this? We still have a mission to accomplish!"

Sakura directly punched Naruto, who was unromantic. Ye Lan obviously held back on them, but he was still worrying about this.

Kakashi seemed thoughtful at this time. Ye Lan said that the Nine-Tails was not his share, and he was not here yet. So where would he be at this moment, and how would he capture the tailed beast?

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi suddenly looked in the direction of the Land of Lightning. If we talk about who is the most famous Jinchūriki, apart from the deceased former Mizukage Three-Tails Jinchūriki Yagura, the next one is Killer Bee, who is hailed as the most perfect Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.

Thinking about Ye Lan's strength and the current situation in the ninja world, Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Kakashi, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

After releasing the Eight Gates, Kai was a little tired. The previous battle had consumed a lot of his energy. The next step would still depend on Kakashi.

"Yoshi! We're here to save Gaara, Uzumaki Naruto is about to make his debut!"

Naruto, who had not performed until now, was eager to try. He didn't know what to do when facing Ye Lan just now. The Nine-Tails Chakra that he had gathered with great difficulty was also destroyed by Ye Lan's glare. Now was his time to perform.

"Naruto, I think I should help Mr. Gai recover his strength first."

Sakura walked towards Kai with some concern, wanting to help him reply. Shin still had to be prepared to face the official members of Akatsuki, and from what Ye Lan had just said, Gaara was probably gone.

"Now is not the time to waste. Sakura, you help Mr. Thick Eyebrows first. I will break this last barrier!"

Naruto used his shadow clone, and his signature Rasengan appeared in his hand, which slammed hard into the barrier.

"Naruto, don't be impulsive. Both Sasori and Deidara are not easy to deal with."

Kakashi followed Naruto. The only advantage this time was that they knew the information about Sasori and Deidara. Kakashi asked himself if he still had some confidence.

The barrier was opened, and everyone except Kai and Sakura who were resting rushed in.

Just the scene before him made Naruto's anger soar.

I saw a blond young man with a ponytail stepping on Gaara's face, looking at the people rushing in with an innocent face.

"Take your feet off Gaara!"

Naruto, who was already full of anger, started yelling and was now full of malice towards the Akatsuki organization.

Looking at Naruto who was so irrational, Deidara and Sasori looked at each other. What Ye Lan said before was indeed correct.

Deidara looked at Naruto with a smile. He didn't expect that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had such a temper. Facing Gaara's corpse, Deidara even sat on it.

"Interesting, there is such a ninja. It seems that you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, huh!"
