Chapter 261 White Night of Respecting the Elderly and Loving the Young
As the battle between Deidara and Konan entered a white-hot stage, both of them began to use detonating tags and detonating clay regardless of the cost, hoping to compete for the final winner by bombarding each other.

The tacit understanding between the two directly caused the nearby land to become riddled with holes, as if it had experienced the baptism of a great ninja war.

Faced with a battle of this scale, Bai Ye said that he was already accustomed to it and already knew the outcome of the battle.

Don’t think that Konan and Deidara are evenly matched now.

In fact, Xiaonan was just deliberately showing weakness to the enemy. How could Xiaonan only have a few hundred detonating tags? Carrying tens of thousands of them with her is a routine operation for Xiaonan.

Once Konan decides to kill, Deidara won't last more than a minute.

Kabuto Yakushi and Nono, who were standing by, had no idea what Bai Ye was thinking. They were already shocked by the battle scene.

The way Konan and Deidara fought was beyond their imagination and cognition.

Shouldn't a fight between ninjas be about performing several ninjutsu against each other, and then finding the enemy's weakness in a taijutsu battle to end the fight?

In their impression, the scale of the battle between Konan and Deidara was almost as big as the Night of the Nine-Tails.

After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes and no result was achieved, Yakushi Kabuto came to Bai Ye and said cautiously, "Master Bai Ye, don't we need to support Master Konan?"

"Why do you want to support Xiaonan?"

Bai Ye glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and chuckled, saying, "Didn't you see Konan was playing with Deidara? Deidara is still a child. How could an adult possibly attack a child with all his strength?"

Yakushi Kabuto remained silent, his reminder seemed to have no effect.

Lord Bai Ye’s words are too confusing. What do you mean an adult won’t use all his strength against a child? You are not that old, and you haven’t considered his feelings at all.

He had been in the Root for five years, but he was still not as strong as Deidara is now.

Bai Ye seemed to have guessed what Yakushi Kabuto was thinking, and said earnestly: "Don't be discouraged, you will definitely be stronger than Deidara in the future. I believe in your talent. You are the kind of ninja who accumulates a lot of experience and then explodes."

Pharmacist Dou nodded, immersed in the big picture that Bai Ye had painted.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly sensed something. He first glanced at the Iwagakure Village in the distance, then looked at Deidara who was fighting with Konan, and said to Yakushi Kabuto:
"Kabuto, Nono, the support from Iwagakure is coming. The two of you should find a place to hide first. You are not allowed to participate in the battle that is coming."

Kabuto Yakushi and Nono also looked in the direction of Iwagakure and nodded solemnly.

Konan and Deidara had such a strong motivation to fight, and it was very reasonable that they attracted the attention of the Iwagakure Village. However, Byakuya did not escape with them. Could it be that he wanted to deal with the confidence of the entire Iwagakure Village?

After Kabuto Yakushi and Nono left, Bai Ye flashed and flew towards the Iwagakure Village.

After landing on a huge rock and waiting patiently for a few minutes, Bai Ye saw a little old man flying in the sky, nervously scanning the surrounding land.

The old man was none other than Ohnoki, the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village.

Bai Ye is one of the most feared ninjas in the ninja world.

While Bai Ye was observing Ohnoki, Ohnoki also noticed Bai Ye on the boulder. He slowed down his flying speed, hovered in the air and stared at Bai Ye.

He could confirm that this person was definitely not a ninja from his own village, but he couldn't tell who he was for the time being.

But it is certain that this person appeared outside the Iwagakure Village, and he definitely had bad intentions. Landing near Bai Ye, Ohnoki frowned and said, "Strange ninja, tell me your purpose for appearing outside the Iwagakure Village immediately, otherwise I will make you regret becoming a ninja."

Bai Ye raised his hand and said to Ohnoki, "Don't be so angry, Lord Tsuchikage. I was just traveling in the Land of Earth and saw that the scenery here is nice, so I came to take a look."

Ohnoki looked strange and said gloomily:
"Do you think I'm a fool? You can travel to the vicinity of Iwagakure Village within the territory of the Land of Earth, and the explosion just now was caused by you, right? Which ninja are you from, and what is your mission?"

Bai Ye showed an innocent expression and explained:

"Lord Tsuchikage, I didn't cause any damage near the Iwagakure Village, but just now a blond boy flew over on a big bird, holding something and bombarding everywhere."

Oonoki's expression changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch slightly.

The blond boy and the bombings everywhere, these features combined together instantly reminded him of his apprentice Deidara. Wasn't Deidara just put in solitary confinement, how come he ran out again?

After catching Deidara this time, he must be disciplined and his damn artistic cells must be corrected.

After making a decision about Deidara in his mind, Ohnoki looked at Byakuya again and said as he flew towards Byakuya:
"Don't avoid my question. You haven't made your identity clear yet."

"You want to know my identity? Why don't you just ask directly..."

Bai Ye stood up from the boulder and said slowly: "I am Bai Ye, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, the second in command of the Hidden Rain Village, and also Hanzo's disciple. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"You don't want to cause a war between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Rain Village by attacking me, do you?" After saying that, Bai Ye dusted himself off, looking ready to leave at any time.

Oonoki's face was gloomy and uncertain. He flew in front of Bai Ye and blocked his way.

He remembered who Byakuya was. In addition to being Hanzo's disciple and a high-ranking member of the Hidden Rain Village, Byakuya had also fought head-on with the Fourth Raikage in the war between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village.

He knew the strength of the Fourth Raikage, who was definitely the strongest in the ninja world.

Being able to compete with the Fourth Raikage in a short period of time, Bai Ye's strength should definitely not be underestimated. Such a strong man appeared outside the Iwagakure Village without any notice, so he must have some plan.

Maybe he came here to gather information and plan to overthrow the Iwagakure Village in the future.

After being stopped by Ōnoki, Bai Ye frowned and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I told you that the explosion had nothing to do with me, why are you still pestering me?"

"Does Lord Tsuchikage really want to fight me?"

"I respect the elderly and love the young. I have no habit of bullying the elderly. If I hurt the Tsuchikage-sama, I'm worried that a war will break out between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Rain Village. In this case, the peace that we have finally achieved will be back to square one."

"Respect the old and love the young? Don't bully the elderly?"

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Ohnoki was immediately blushing. He was the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, and one of the most powerful ninjas in the ninja world.

I am a little older, but you still think I am an old man?!

This is intolerable.
