Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 471 The Peacekeeper

"Li Yao, it really was you!!!"

Danzo stared at Ishii, the Earth Release clone whose face had changed to resemble Li Yao's original form, and heard the familiar voice, feeling an overwhelming sense of fear.

"Go! Go now! Kill him!"

Danzo pointed at his Earth Release clone, Stone Rock, and quickly gave the order before turning and running away.

shhhhhh!

At the same time, the Konoha ninjas who obeyed the order drew their swords or kunai and rushed towards the Earth Release clone - Ishii.

But... a loud "bang" rang out.

Danzo, who was about to turn and run away, was kicked hard in the stomach as if he had been kicked. He rushed towards the Konoha ninja who was using Earth Release: Clone - Ishii at an even faster speed, and arrived in front of the Earth Release: Clone - Ishii.

Snapped!

Earth Release clone - Ishii grabbed Danzo by the back of the neck, and the sealing technique instantly invaded Danzo's body, sealing and imprisoning all of his chakra.

call out!

The moment Minato caught his Earth Release clone, Ishii, using a sealing technique on Danzo, he instantly appeared beside Ishii, reaching out to touch Ishii's shoulder, preparing to cast a contract seal on Ishii and seal away Ishii's Flying Thunder God Technique as well.

Unfortunately... without the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's nerve reaction speed was still incredibly fast, but his physical movement speed couldn't dodge attacks that were much faster.

Earth Release: Earth Clone - Rock is much faster than Minato's in perfect Sage Mode.

Minato had just moved his Earth Release clone, Ishii, to his side and stretched out his hand.

Earth Release Clone - Rock simply extends one leg and delivers a side kick.

Even though Minato's nerves had reacted, his body seemed to be firmly imprisoned in place by some invisible force. No matter how he gave orders, his body remained almost completely immobile.

He could only watch helplessly as his Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, kicked him in the side.

In an instant.

A terrifying power erupted.

Bang!

The water gate was launched like a cannonball, instantly carving out a hundred-meter-long passage in the dense forest.

"Lord Danzo...!"

"open……"

At this moment, the group of Konoha ninjas who were rushing towards the Earth Release clone - Ishii realized that their Lord Danzo had already been grabbed by the Earth Release clone - Ishii, and they immediately stopped and dared not go forward.

"Lord Minato..."

In an instant, a booming sound came from afar, instantly reminding the Konoha ninjas of what had just happened.

Not only was Lord Danzo instantly subdued, but Minato Namikaze, known as the fastest ninja in the world, was also kicked away in an instant.

This man... is so strong!

After realizing that Earth Release Clone - Stone Rock was very strong, the Konoha ninjas refocused their attention on Earth Release Clone - Stone Rock.

A heavy wave of chakra instantly descended upon everyone.

The ninjas present who had experienced the Tailed Beast's outburst felt the chakra fluctuations emanating from the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, which were even more terrifying than those of the Tailed Beast.

"..."

In an instant, sweat had already covered everyone's faces.

Everyone instinctively gripped their ninja swords and kunai tightly, as if only in this way could they suppress their inner fear.

"Li Yao..."

Danzo's face was filled with anger, but his eyes were filled with fear.

Being grabbed like a chick was an unforgettable humiliation, but the fact that his body was sealed and his life was in Li Yao's hands filled him with even greater fear.

This is because it removed his ability to use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to perish together with others.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

*Thump...* Earth Release clone - Ishii threw the powerless Danzo to the ground.

Several Root ninjas instantly appeared beside Danzo and led him behind them.

"Kill him...!"

Thud... Blood gushed out, and a head wearing a Root mask flew out. It was the Root ninja who was just about to give the order to kill the Earth Release clone - Ishii.

This sudden turn of events caused the Root ninjas to instinctively retreat another twenty meters with Danzo.

The other Konoha ninjas were also startled and instinctively retreated, keeping a distance of twenty meters from the Earth Release clone - Rock.

In an instant, an empty space appeared around the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan.

"Hey, what happened with that attack just now?"

"I don't know, my chakra perception didn't detect the slightest chakra fluctuation!"

Everyone stared in horror at the earth-escape clone, Shi Yan, their palms sweating and their bodies trembling.

An unbelievable attack speed.

An unbelievable attack technique.

And that incredible speed of movement.

Earth Release Clone - Rock Rock had barely appeared when it revealed an ability that filled the Konoha ninja present with despair.

They were all elites, and they understood that the power displayed by the Earth Release clone - Shi Yan - was completely beyond their ability to cope with.

"What do you mean, Li Yao?"

With the help of the Root ninjas, Danzo stood up, walked over, looked at Li Yao not far away, and asked with a gloomy expression.

"My current identity is the Fourth Tsuchikage. Please call me Lord Tsuchikage," said Ishii, the Earth Release clone.

"What?!!"

"He is the Fourth Tsuchikage!!"

Upon hearing Li Yao's words, everyone was taken aback, and then they understood why the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, was so powerful. It turned out that they were facing the Kage of a village.

"You've become the Fourth Tsuchikage, so..."

Danzo's eyes flashed. Li Yao had actually possessed the Fourth Tsuchikage, which made the death of the Third Tsuchikage highly suspicious.

According to intelligence, the Third Tsuchikage died at the hands of the Fourth Kazekage, Kazekage.

But Li Yao must have been involved in this behind the scenes.

"What do you want to do?"

Regardless of Li Yao's current identity, Danzo is certain that there must be a reason why this guy won't kill him now.

"No rush!"

Earth Release: Clone - Shi Yan's mind stirred, and a wisp of wind shot out, quickly returning with a blood-covered, unconscious Minato Namikaze. He even kindly treated Minato's injuries.

Minato recovered from his injuries and woke up very quickly, within seconds.

Upon witnessing this scene, Danzo became even more certain of Li Yao's identity, realizing that only Li Yao, who possessed Wood Release, could use such a powerful medical ninjutsu.

"you……"

Upon waking, Minato instantly retreated to the front of the group of Konoha ninjas. He was momentarily stunned as he looked at his Earth Release clone, Ishii, who was surrounded in the middle, wondering why Li Yao had saved him.

That kick just now shattered his internal organs; he's definitely going to die.

Now, Li Yao has miraculously saved her life.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

A multitude of thoughts churned within Minato's mind.

The others also looked at the Earth Release clone - Shi Yan, and dared not make any rash moves.

Earth Release clone - Ishii smiled, hands behind his back, and said, "I am the messenger who brings peace to Konoha and Iwagakure."

"???" Danzo.

"..." Minato.

The Konoha ninja were somewhat bewildered. They roughly understood the meaning of the Earth Release clone - Ishii's words, but it was too sudden, and everyone was at a loss.

Danzo and Minato, who knew Li Yao's character well, did not believe that Li Yao would really let them go for the sake of peace.

In their understanding, Li Yao would love for the people of the five great powers to die, and peace was not something Li Yao would do, no, he wouldn't even think about.

However... looking at the Earth Release clone - Ishii, who showed no intention of making a move.

Minato and Danzo could not find a reason to refute the Earth Release clone - Ishii's words.

"This is my sincerity!"

Earth Release Clone - Shi Yan smiled, raised his hand and waved, and the sealing techniques on Minato and Danzo dissipated.
