Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 164 The Big Tree, Wailing

I can't move?

No, it's not that I can't move, it's that I've lost control of my body.

who is it?

Cold sweat poured down Fan Ma's forehead, and an indescribable fear instantly swept over his entire body. His eyes could still move, but his body felt like a stone, no longer belonging to him, and his consciousness became a bystander.

Who is it?

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

He's a special Jonin!

They were hit by the enemy's ninjutsu without even being noticed!

How is that possible?

Who is it?

Fanmarenza roared inwardly, his terrified eyes darting frantically, trying to find the third person in the cabin besides himself and the girl.

"Um……?"

Xiao Yezi waited for a while, but didn't see Fanmarenza's next move. Somewhat puzzled, she opened her eyes and saw Fanmarenza standing in front of her, motionless, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead and his eyes darting around looking for someone.

What's going on?

Little Leaf was completely confused.

Suddenly, she was able to move her body. She broke free from Fanmarenza's hand, and Fanmarenza fell backward like a puppet, lying motionless on the ground.

"..."

Xiao Yezi looked at her hands, then at Fanmarenzha lying on the ground, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"I...I'm wrong!"

"Who is it?"

Xiao Yezi reacted quickly, realizing that someone must have attacked Fanmarenzha, otherwise Fanmarenzha wouldn't be acting this way. She immediately looked around for the person.

The other party could make a move against Van Marenza at any time, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be to her advantage.

"Little Leaf?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang in her mind. Xiao Yezi, who was looking around, stopped abruptly. She saw a somewhat illusory figure enter through the door and look at her in disbelief.

"M... Uncle?"

Xiao Yezi squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again, rubbing them vigorously with both hands, wondering if she had seen things wrong.

Is this an older man?

She looks very similar, but younger, and seems to be about the same age as her.

Little Leaf was a little uncertain.

"It's me, Li Yao, Xiao Yezi." Li Yao walked over with a smile, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

The little girl has changed so much!

It's one thing to go from a flat board to a volleyball, but to grow so much taller in just one year is a bit exaggerated.

Girls really do change a lot as they grow up.

Unaware of what was going on, Li Yao was amazed by Xiao Yezi's transformation.

"It really is you, uncle! Waaah..."

Upon hearing Li Yao's confirmation, Xiao Yezi finally couldn't hold back anymore. Before Li Yao could even approach, she cried and jumped towards him with outstretched arms.

However, she missed her target and passed right through Li Yao, falling to the ground.

"M-M-Uncle?"

Xiao Yezi turned around with wide eyes, looking at Li Yao with a wronged expression and a somewhat confused look in her eyes.

Li Yao turned around and smiled, "This is my spirit body; my physical body is still on its way."

Li Yao's main body, carried by his shadow clone, is flying here. He arrived in advance in his spiritual form to confirm Xiao Yezi's safety.

Luckily he made it in time, otherwise Xiao Yezi would have been ruined.

"A spirit..." Hearing that it was only Li Yao's spirit that had come, Xiao Yezi was a little disappointed. She stood up and saw that Fan Marenzha behind Li Yao suddenly changed his expression and said with some worry, "Uncle, is it okay for you to come here...?"

"Don't worry," Li Yao said confidently with a smile. "From now on, even if the Five Kage join forces, they will not be a match for me. No one will be able to hurt you anymore."

Although Li Yao's current body has been cursed by Madara Uchiha, his chakra reserves are no longer a weakness now that he has fused with White Zetsu's Wood Release cells.

His current chakra reserves can be described as enormous.

If measured in "cards", his current chakra level is probably several thousand cards.

With such a massive amount of chakra, who in the entire ninja world, apart from the tailed beasts, could compare to him?

As for ninjutsu...

Since Onoki's Dust Release didn't kill him back then, Dust Release will never be a threat to him again.

Because he had already copied the Dust Release chakra.

This type of ninjutsu, which combines attributes, is a chakra-based bloodline limit and bloodline elimination technique. As long as Li Yao replicates the corresponding chakra, he can perform the corresponding ninjutsu.

With both of them capable of Dust Release, what could Onoki possibly use to outlast Li Yao, who possessed a massive amount of chakra?

Not to mention that his illusion magic has reached a new level after mastering the art of spiritification, making human wave tactics ineffective against him.

This time, Li Yao dared to say it with his hand on his chest.

Apart from Madara Uchiha, no one in the entire ninja world could rival him; he could take on the entire ninja world single-handedly.

Whew… Xiao Yezi felt Li Yao’s confidence and breathed a sigh of relief. The long-lost sense of security enveloped her once again.

Xiao Yezi was captivated by this sense of security and subconsciously moved closer to Li Yao, gently embracing Li Yao's ethereal spirit form with both hands.

"It's alright now." Feeling the energy penetrating deep into the spirit's body, Li Yao's expression stiffened for a moment. He then reached out and gently patted Xiao Yezi's back, saying, "Once my true form arrives, we'll leave this place. Until then... you can do whatever you want."

Li Yao turned to look at the Cloud Village ninja man lying on the ground. There wasn't much hatred in his eyes. Perhaps he had directed all his hatred towards the Third Hokage. He didn't have much hatred for the others, including the four Kage who surrounded and killed him.

Of course, not feeling much hatred doesn't mean not seeking revenge.

The valley created by Yunyin is somewhat similar to what Li Yao wanted to do with the women of the Third Generation Sarutobi clan.

Yes, that's something worth learning from.

We could capture some beautiful female ninjas from Kumogakure to experiment with.

Li Yao thought to himself that the beautiful female ninjas in the anime, especially the fair-skinned ones, all seemed to have amazing figures, so he could look forward to it.

tread!

tread!

Xiao Yezi passed through Li Yao's spirit body, walked up to Fan Marenzha, looked down at him, and memories of the past year kept surfacing in her eyes.

Help!

Someone please save me!

What about the dark side?

What about the Bodhidharma family?

You bunch of useless trash, why didn't you react at all when someone easily invaded your village?

As the girl's eyes grew colder and her murderous intent intensified, Fanmarenza's spirit gradually collapsed, and he began to writhe in impotent rage, blaming everyone and everything.

Just as Xiao Yezi's murderous intent was about to reach its peak, she suddenly reached out and removed her clothes, revealing a body covered with various scars.

Even the superhuman healing abilities of the Uzumaki clan couldn't conceal the dense scars covering the girl's body, a testament to the torment she had endured over the past year, not to mention the excruciating drug injection experiments that had caused her so much pain.

"Give!"

The ink-wash condensed kunai floated in front of Xiao Yezi under Li Yao's control. He felt that the girl should have a handy weapon.

At the same time, Li Yao thought of restoring Fanmarenza's bodily senses, allowing him to feel the touch and pain of his skin being cut by a sharp blade, but his body was still unable to move.

Xiao Yezi took the kunai, squatted down, looked at Fanmarinza's terrified eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't you like to defile my body while you're awake? I'll keep that from you."

As she spoke, Xiao Yezi used her sharp ink brush to slowly trace downwards from Fan Marenzha's chest.

His clothes were ripped open, and a line of blood seeped out from where the kunai had cut, all the way down to his navel, before suddenly spreading and staining the surrounding area red.

The little leaf stirred vigorously before moving its position.

Sizzle... The kunai continued to carefully and slowly draw various blood lines on Fanmarenza's body. The continuous pain stimulated Fanmarenza's face, making him look very painful. But for some reason, looking at Fanmarenza like this, Xiao Yezi did not feel any pleasure of revenge.

Or rather, this physical pain was simply not enough to vent the suffering she had endured over the past year.
