Chapter 130: Shadow Approaches

Evening, Konoha Ninja School.

Umino Yinluka on the podium looked at the chattering students and felt a little overwhelmed.

The last class of every day was like this. Most children's attention and concentration were exhausted after a whole day of study. They were just waiting to go home to eat, play and sleep. Almost no one listened seriously.

Yinluka looked at the last row in the middle. Akimichi Choji was the source of this chaos.

Every time his stomach made a hollow echo, other students knew that there were at most ten minutes left before school was over, so they began to pack their schoolbags.

Then, the ninja dog Akamaru, who heard the strange noise, didn't know why, and would make an urgent, sharp and short cry to remind Inuzuka Kiba to be alert. The noise made the surrounding students feel overwhelmed. Even Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura in the first row would turn around and have a big fight with Inuzuka Kiba.

So, a large-scale chaos began.

The buzzing sound in the classroom made Yinluka upset. At this time, he looked at the students who were always very quiet and felt very pleasing to the eye.

Shino Aburame, disappears as soon as get out of class is over, rushes into the flowers to observe various insects, and wears sunglasses and stays still during class (doesn't even take notes), and doesn't say a word. Yin Luka suspected that he was sleeping openly many times, but when he walked to his side, he found that the child didn't make any breathing sounds at all. Sometimes, Yin Luka couldn't even feel his existence.

Shikamaru Nara, lying on the table all day long, looks like he is sleeping, but in fact he is resting with his eyes closed, paying attention to all the sounds around him. Every time Yin Luka called him to answer a question, he could answer it. It's a pity that this student also sleeps during exams, and he is too lazy to write a single word after finishing the multiple-choice questions.

Hinata Hyuga, with a strict upbringing in a large family and a shy personality, she is almost the quietest and most polite student in the class, whether in class or after class. She listens carefully most of the time, but occasionally she wanders away, blushes inexplicably, and I don't know what she is thinking about.

And Naruto Uzumaki, this is the student who has changed the most in the class for more than three years. At the beginning of school, Naruto was a little noisy and naughty, trying to attract other people's attention. But maybe because he admired Uchiha Giyuu, he would always imitate him unconsciously after being his deskmate for a long time, so even if he didn't listen in class, he would lower his head to read books, so his grades were not bad (although most of the time it was recipes).

Finally, Yin Luka's eyes moved to the empty seat between Naruto and Hinata.

It has been two days since the start of school, but Uchiha classmate is still traveling outside, and I don't know when he will come back.

Yin Luka missed Giyuu a little. In addition to the fact that he was good enough, quiet like an object, and could cool in summer, it was also because this child would share food with everyone in the class, so that they would not be too hungry to concentrate in the last class.

Seeing that Ino had already started throwing pencils and erasers at Inuzuka Kiba, and the situation was about to escalate, Yin Luka took a deep breath.

[It seems that the trump card is to be used. ]

"Tomorrow, you don't have to come to school for class."

As soon as these words came out, the boiling classroom quickly cooled down.

The children looked up at Yin Luka one by one, as if chewing on his speech that was not loud just now.

The next second, smiles bloomed on their faces, and cheers comparable to those of Purgatory Kyojuro rang out!

"Great!"

"It's so cool to have a holiday right after school starts!"

"Princess Fengyun's new movie is released, I'll go to see it tomorrow!"

"Let's go to eat barbecue together tomorrow?"

...

As soon as they didn't hear that there was no class, the children were already discussing tomorrow's plan enthusiastically, and Naruto was looking out the window with his chin propped up.

[It would be great if Giyuu could come back tomorrow. But Kyojuro's message to Sasuke seems to be a while away...]

[I can't figure out what he is doing? ]

[If he doesn't come back tomorrow, just go to train with Sasuke. ]

Naruto sat up straight, and suddenly had an idea, and his blue eyes suddenly lit up.

[Hinata's practical class grades have always been poor, let's take her with us! 】

He turned his head and wanted to explain his thoughts to the white-eyed girl, but he noticed that Hinata Hyuga, who was one seat away from him, had an unusually ugly face, as if she had met her own ghost.

Naruto was confused, and before he could ask, he heard Yin Luka say with a smirk: "You wishful thinking, it's not a holiday."

"Then why don't you come to school?"

A ninja from a civilian background asked disappointedly, "Are you going to have an outdoor exercise or something? That's an activity for higher grades, right?"

"It's an outdoor class, but it's not an exercise."

Yin Luka said: "Some of your classmates' parents may have told you about this, but there must be some students who don't know, so I will notify you again. After lunch tomorrow at noon, all students will gather at the school gate. We will set out together to welcome the joint delegation of Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja."

"Ka Da."

In the silence, a crisp sound caught Yin Luka's attention.

It turned out that Hinata Hyuga didn't hold the pencil firmly, and the pencil fell off the table.

"Sorry, sorry..." Hinata stood up and bowed, stammering and apologizing before bending down to pick it up.

Yin Luka suddenly remembered what happened six years ago, and her heart softened. She added, "If Hinata-san is not feeling well, you can rest at home tomorrow."

This was not included in the plan given by the Hokage. It was purely Yinluka who made his own decision out of sympathy.

"Thank you, Teacher Yinluka."

Hinata was obviously surprised, but she still accepted Yinluka's kindness and looked a little better than before.

Naruto didn't know why, and the more he looked at it, the weirder it seemed.

[Does Hinata hate participating in such activities, or does she simply hate foreign ninjas? 】

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by another student: "Teacher, what are the envoys of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja coming to Konoha?"

"According to time, it is almost every three years when Konoha and Kumo Ninja renew the peace treaty. Three years ago we went to Yun Ninja Village, and this time it is their turn to come to us. As for why Iwa Ninja sent The envoy group is still unknown, but it must be for a similar reason.”

When he mentioned the words "peace treaty", Yin Luka's smile was sincere.

"Although they arrived earlier this year, as long as the mission arrives, it means that the possibility of conflict between Konoha, Iwa Ninja, and Cloud Ninja Village is very small in the next three years. Without war, everyone can continue to live happily. Go on until you graduate normally at the age of twelve.”

"what the hell?"

The student snorted dissatisfiedly, "Teacher, do you mean that if we go to war, we can graduate early? It would be better to go to war. Aren't our Konoha Ninja Village the strongest among all the Ninja Villages?"

After the student finished speaking, there were several echoes around him, a bit worried that the world would not be in chaos.

Shikamaru, who was lying on the table, turned around speechlessly. Instead, Inuzuka Kiba taunted loudly: "You really know how to talk nonsense. Even Akamaru can't deal with it. Are you going to be cannon fodder? Maybe even the enemy will be killed." If you can’t see it, you will die!”

The student blushed and retorted: "There are so many jounin and chuunin in the village, won't they protect us newcomers?"

"What are you doing to protect a brainless guy like you?"

Nara Shikamaru seemed to be aroused by the other party's stupidity. He propped up his body and squinted his dead fish eyes: "You guys who are looking forward to war must have never had anyone die in your family. I tell you, the third time you endure it During the World War, the genin and chuunin who sacrificed the most in our clan were the genin and chuunin. If so many clan members hadn't died, do you think I would be the only one with the surname Nara in this generation?

"Once the war starts, Konoha will never face just one ninja village, but will fight on multiple fronts. Then the village will be short of manpower, and we students will have to go to the battlefield, and no one will care about protecting you.

"Which of the five ninja villages is the strongest...so what? Have you ever thought about why the number of students in the school, even the children from big families, are only in single digits? Less than half of what they were ten years ago? Then It's because, in previous wars, too many young ninjas died before they were even old enough to have children! "

Yin Luka was a little surprised, because Shikamaru was not someone who would make long speeches like this. It seemed that these students' speeches really made him angry.

What he didn't know was that it was precisely because the young generation of the Nara clan was so pitiful that the clan had high hopes for Shikamaru, which made him a little annoyed since he was a child.

But thanks to these words, those students who were ready to make a move also stopped and stopped talking.

"What Shikamaru-san said is not unreasonable. Peace is hard-won, and this is what Hokage-sama means. The Third Generation-sama attaches great importance to tomorrow's event to welcome the delegation, and everyone should take it seriously."

Yin Luka took the opportunity to smooth things over. After all, if Shikamaru were to continue talking, some sensitive topics would be involved.

"So, don't think that you can stay up late or whatever if you don't have to go to class tomorrow. You must have a good rest and be in the best spirit to welcome foreign guests. Don't let other people in the Ninja Village see our jokes! This time we welcome guests Mission, it’s about the honor of the village, you must remember what I said, understand?”

"yes--"

It can be heard from the voices that many people are excited and looking forward to seeing foreign ninjas for the first time.

After announcing the incident, the music after school started playing. Yin Luka was the first to leave the classroom. The other students left in groups in twos and threes. Only Hinata and Naruto stayed where they were and did not move.

Shikamaru was the last to leave.

He obviously knew a lot. He paused for a second when passing by Hinata, but finally sighed, said hello to Naruto and left.

When Naruto and Hinata were the only two people left in the classroom, Naruto slid onto Giyuu's seat and asked with concern: "What happened? You don't look good, Hinata."

Being alone together in the last few days of summer vacation made the awkward atmosphere between the two a lot better. At least Hinata wouldn't faint because he was so close.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. Maybe I ate too much at noon."

Hinata's face showed a little color, "I won't go to tomorrow's event, so..."

"Are you really not going? Why is that? Could you predict in advance that you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow..."

Naruto wanted to ask, but suddenly felt an uncomfortable sight.

He suddenly turned his head and found a boy who looked very similar to Hinata standing outside the classroom door, staring at them seriously with a straight face. To be precise, the other person was staring at Hinata sternly. Even though he couldn't see the boy's eyes, Naruto had already noticed the other person's scrutinizing gesture.

"..." Noticing that Naruto stopped mid-sentence, Hinata, who was thinking about how to deal with it, also raised her head.

She followed Naruto's gaze and jumped up from her seat as if she had been electrocuted. Her voice became hoarse and short: "N-Brother Neji!"

[Is he Hyuga Neji? 】

Naruto blinked.

Because of Giyuu's relationship, Naruto has a close relationship with Anjuro, so he is not a stranger to the senior students who admire Anjuro. But this was the first time for Naruto to see this number one who was one level older than him.

Hyuga Neji was one of the few people who was not conquered by Anjuro's charm.

Hinata lowered her head nervously, her chin close to her collarbone, and her hands tangled together, waiting for Hinata Neji to come to her step by step.

Looking at Hinata's appearance, Naruto felt that the other party seemed to have bad intentions. He thought it was the kind of terrible family drama in Zuosuke's book. When he stood up and prepared to separate Hinata and Hinata, he was surprised to see Hinata. Neji walked one meter away and stopped where he was.

Then, he bent down to Hinata and made a ninety-degree bow.

"Hinata-sama." His tone was respectful. Without looking at his expression, he couldn't find anything worth criticizing.

"Brother Neji, please don't do this..." Hyuga Hinata looked like she was about to cry, not knowing how to respond.

[Why... would he come to me at this time? 】

"I am requesting you on behalf of the Hyuga branch family."

Hinata Neji's waist was still bent, but his eyes were looking at Hinata's face. Naruto could tell that this was a very uncomfortable and awkward action.

"For your safety, I hope you will stay in the clan area tomorrow no matter what, and do not go out and walk around at will."

Hearing this, Naruto felt as if the other party was just expressing concern.

"After all, this time," Hyuga Neji immediately said, "no one in our branch family is willing to sacrifice his life needlessly for a quasi-clan leader like you who has no future."

This time Naruto understood. He immediately stood up, frowned and said loudly: "Who has no future?! Why do you say that about Hinata!"

Hinata's tears had rolled to the edge of her eyes, but they did not slide down for a long time. She just bit her lips and remained silent.

Hyuga Neji also ignored Naruto's intention and continued: "Hinata-sama, please agree to my request, otherwise I will not leave."

"You have a disgusted expression from the beginning to the end, and you speak with a gun and a stick. There is no intention of asking!"

Naruto crossed the table angrily and came to Hinata Neji's side, "Besides, we are obviously a family, why do you do such a hypocritical performance? You have also seen it, Hinata is obviously very uncomfortable, isn't it? "

"Family?" Hinata Neji looked at Naruto with his eyes wide open, the cloth tied on his forehead was extremely conspicuous.

"How do we qualify to become Hinata-sama's family? If we don't do this, how can she agree to our request."

"I told you not to speak in a shady manner!"

Naruto grabbed Hinata Neji by the collar, but the latter took a step back as if he had expected it. He grabbed Naruto's wrist with his left hand, held his elbow with his right hand and gently twisted it, forcing Naruto to Immediately lie down in the opposite direction.

But immediately, Naruto slammed his foot on the ground before falling to the ground, and used the recoil to close the distance with Hinata Neji. Not only did he break free from the grasp, but he also knocked the opponent.

Seeing the two people staring at each other and about to escalate the fight, Hyuga Hinata didn't know where she got the courage and shouted: "Please don't fight anymore!"

But as the two people looked at her in surprise at any time, she immediately returned to her natural behavior and shrank her neck.

A hint of surprise flashed in Hyuga Neji's eyes, which was quickly replaced by disappointment.

He glanced at Naruto and resumed his bowing posture: "Hinata-sama, please promise me..."

"Don't promise him anything! Hinata!"

Naruto interrupted Neji with an angry look on his face, "Although I don't know what happened, you simply grasped Hinata's weakness and forced her here in a weird way! You don't care, and you don't care at all. Respect her intention, on the contrary, you said and did this specifically knowing that such behavior would hurt her and make her suffer and feel uncomfortable!”

Hyuga Neji didn't respond, but was a little surprised at Naruto's sensitivity.

"I don't understand a big family like yours, nor do I understand the deep hatred between you. If you are full of resentment towards Hinata, just speak your mind openly. Why do you have to use this gesture, once? To torture her once? Also, what does it mean to have no future? Don’t judge other people’s future casually!”

Hyuga Neji's attitude towards Hinata is very similar to the attitude of the villagers towards him in the past——

It was clear that he had deep hatred, but he didn't explain the reason. This familiar feeling of déjà vu made Naruto very angry.

"You really know nothing about our clan."

Hinata Neji straightened up, "But do you really need me to say it bluntly that there is no future?

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. She looks so weak and can be bullied. Does she qualify to be the leader of the clan and let others sacrifice their lives to protect her? If nothing else, the results of the practical class are posted on the bulletin board. You can also see Got it? Her fists are soft, just like her character."

"Hinata is just shy and afraid of hurting others! Besides, people change! How do you know she won't get over this?"

"There is a difference between being shy and being cowardly."

Hinata Neji shook his head, "Shyness is just a habit, but cowardice is a natural instinct. When faced with threats, can people who can't even resist have any future?

"Besides," he turned to look at Hinata, "My request was what Lady Hinata wanted, wasn't it? You must be worried and scared when the Cloud Ninja delegation arrives, but you dare not tell the head of the family. But by doing this, don't I just give you a suitable excuse?"

Hinata's eyes flickered, and it seemed that what she said really hit the nail on the head.

She was afraid of the Cloud Ninja; and telling her father that she was afraid of the Cloud Ninja made her even more afraid.

But if the branch family made such a request, her father would have no reason not to agree.

Her lips trembled, and just as she was about to speak, she noticed that her hand, which was wet with cold sweat, was taken away, and a warmth came from Naruto's palm.

"Then I will disappoint you!"

Naruto raised Hinata's hand, "The more you are sure that Hinata will do this, the more she will prove herself, and she is definitely not the kind of person you imagined! "

"Naruto, Naruto..." Hinata was really a little panicked. The development of things was completely beyond her expectations.

"Although I don't know what happened in the past and why Hinata is afraid of foreign ninjas? But Giyuu told me that the more people fear something, the first thing they should overcome!"

Naruto declared loudly: "So tomorrow, Hinata will go with me to see the Cloud Ninja delegation! I want to let them know that they can't scare Hinata, and you can't scare them either! Even if they really want to hurt Hinata, I will protect her like Giyuu protected me! I don't need her to be my clan leader or anything, as long as she is my friend, I am willing to gamble my life for her!"

In the empty classroom, Naruto's voice kept echoing.

Hinata Neji pursed his lips, and his stern eyes passed him and looked at Hinata, with a questioning meaning.

He didn't know whether he wanted to see Hinata change.

"Do you really think so? To expose yourself in front of the people you are afraid of? "

Hinata took a deep breath and held Naruto's hand tightly. Although she didn't look up, she was silent for a long time before she said, "Sorry, Brother Neji, I, I want to give it a try..."

"In that case, I have nothing to say."

Hyuga Neji took a step back and bowed again, "If you insist on doing it, please don't humiliate the family in front of everyone tomorrow."

At least from the perspective of safety, it is safer for Hinata to appear in public.

Hinata didn't answer, but Naruto made a face at Hyuga Neji: "Mind your own business first!"

"Your physical skills are very good and you have rich practical experience."

Hyuga Neji nodded at Naruto, "But if you attack me again next time, I won't show mercy."

"It's as if you're the only one who didn't use your full strength."

Naruto sneered, "Next time I hear you being sarcastic, I won't show mercy! Say what you want to say, this is what a ninja should be like! ”

“…”

Hinata Neji left without saying anything more.

Hinata stayed there woodenly, and then realized what she had promised before.

“Naruto, I…”

Naruto saw her panic and said softly: “It’s okay, if you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. It’s not too late to tell me after the Cloud Ninja delegation leaves. When you are no longer afraid of them, you will think of the past and feel that your past thoughts are absurd and ridiculous…”

“Really, really?”

“Of course it’s true, this is my personal experience.”

Naruto promised, “As long as you overcome the most feared thing, the second and third fears will gradually become unimportant.”

“I know.” Hinata nodded in conviction and temporarily put aside her fear of tomorrow, “Thank you, Naruto.”

“Thank you, thank Yiyong.”

Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly, “If he hadn’t forced me to face those people and defend myself, I would still take the eyes and sarcasm of those idle people seriously, and I would have a lot of troubles for nothing. "

As he said this, he quickly glanced at the clock above the blackboard: "Ah, it's been so long, Zuozhu, that guy, he won't leave by himself!"

As he said this, he picked up his schoolbag and walked out first, giving Hinata a little time to wipe away her tears.

After a while, the two came to the door of the next classroom and found that Zuozhu was still sitting in his seat, with his head down, thinking about something.

Naruto and Hinata looked at each other and walked in from the back door without deliberately restraining their voices.

But Zuozhu was too focused on the coins in front of him and didn't hear anything.

Naruto came behind Zuozhu and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Ah!"

Screaming, but twice.

Zuozhu screamed because a coin in front of him suddenly lost control, bounced out from in front of him, and embedded in the back of the front seat.

Naruto screamed because he felt a short and sharp pain in his fingertips. When he raised his hand, he even saw faint burn marks on his skin.

"What are you doing? "The two complained in unison.

"I should be the one asking you!"

Naruto blew a breath of cool air and put the space between his index and middle fingers into his mouth, but the pain did not diminish at all.

"It's worse than the static electricity on a doorknob in winter. If it was someone else who touched you, I would have fainted from the pain now!"

"Hey, does it hurt a lot?" Zuosuke's eyes lit up.

"You're actually gloating!" Naruto looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"No, I'm just curious about the power of ninjutsu."

Zuosuke took the coin off the back of the front seat, with a proud look on his face.

[In just a few days, I have made such progress. I really have a good talent in lightning escape! It may be stronger than Giyu's water escape...]

"Ninjutsu?" Naruto no longer paid attention to the injured finger, but asked curiously, "What jutsu? Did your brother teach you?"

"My mother."

Zuosuke sat in a seat so that Hinata and Naruto could get closer to him, "Look."

Zuosuke put six thumb-wide 10-tael coins in a circle, and then placed his index finger vertically in the middle of all the coins.

"What are you looking at?" Naruto rolled his eyes, "I never spend money recklessly, and my savings are much more than yours."

As soon as the voice fell, Naruto saw that the six coins were like unfolding petals, slowly pushed out by invisible forces, and the speed was extremely uniform.

"It's moving!"

"It's not over yet."

Sasuke gave him a calming look.

The six coins continued to push outward, forming a large circle with a radius of ten centimeters.

Then Sasuke made a seal with his left hand, and the six coins slowly shrank again, and finally returned to their original position.

"Isn't it amazing!" Sasuke looked sunny, waiting for praise.

"Very amazing," Naruto nodded, "You are doing magic."

["Learn this to light candles?"]

"Don't be so brave when you talk."

Sasuke's face fell, "I can see that you don't know anything."

"This, the ability to control metal... should be magnetic escape, right?"

Hinata on the side suddenly said, "Could it be that, Uchiha classmate, you have developed another blood limit?"

"Eh, no?"

Naruto didn't know much about these, but he knew that blood limits were all very impressive.

"It looks very similar, right?"

Sasuke felt that his talent was appreciated, and he was very happy. It was the first time in more than ten days that he liked Hinata so much.

"But this is not magnetic escape, but an application of lightning chakra."

"Lightning escape?" Hinata covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes. Look, this is an ordinary coin."

For example, Zuozhu took out an old version of coin with different materials from his pencil case and placed it in the middle of the six 10-tael coins. There was no reaction.

"But when I injected lightning chakra into him..."

Zuozhu touched the coin with his fingertips, and the coin immediately emitted an invisible force field, pushing the six coins around it out.

"My mother said that there are two types of magnetic escape ninjas. One is like the third generation of Kazekage, combining the changes in the properties of wind escape and earth escape to control materials such as iron sand containing specific metals, but generally speaking, a magnetic escape ninja can only control one type of metal, and two types are very extreme."

Zuozhu paused, "There is another type, which is the magnetic escape ninja of the Land of Lightning, which can give strong magnetism to any object by contact, but in essence it can only attract specific metals.

"But what I am doing now only requires a single qualitative change of lightning chakra. When I am proficient enough, even if I inject lightning chakra into different metals, I can control them to attack or defend at the same time, and even remotely control shuriken to attack others from hundreds or thousands of meters away. Isn't it amazing? "

"It sounds very convenient." Naruto nodded, with envy in his tone, "You only said that your father and brother were jonin before, but I didn't expect your mother to be so amazing."

"It's actually a coincidence."

Sasuke said: "In recent years, she has been leading her men to do special effects for Princess Fengyun's movie. It is said that the screenwriter of the movie is very imaginative. When designing those strange and unreasonable ninjutsu in the movie, it gave my mother some inspiration, and she began to use electromagnetic force to develop lightning ninjutsu. However, she has never fought with this kind of jutsu..."

"I haven't seen the movie." Naruto was a little depressed, "The old Hokage won't let me leave the village, saying that it's very dangerous outside."

"Then next time my family goes to the Fire City together, I'll take you with me."

"Really? "Naruto paused.

"If the Third Hokage agrees, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"By the way, speaking of this... let's take Hinata with us when we train in the future!"

"Huh?!" This time it was Hinata's turn to be surprised.

"Why? Her performance in practical classes is average." Sasuke said bluntly.

"I met a nasty guy who said Hinata was cowardly and timid!"

Naruto grinned, "Wait until Hinata gets stronger and beat him up, and see if he dares to be sarcastic!"

Sasuke was a little xenophobic, but when he thought of Kyojuro's usual style and mind...

"Anyway, Kyojuro's place is so big that it won't be crowded with one more of her! But she should be counted in for cleaning!"

"Thank, thank you." Hinata clenched her fists, "I will definitely work hard!"

[Don't let Naruto down!]

This is probably how Naruto felt when he first met Giyuu.

"By the way, when can you do something famous? "

Naruto asked as Zuozhu packed his bag and prepared to leave.

"This should be done step by step. First, the attraction and repulsion of electromagnetic force should be considered."

As he said this, he lifted his foot and showed Naruto the sole of his shoe. What was attracted there was the key to his front door.

"What's the use of this?"

So Sasuke explained it to Naruto again, but it was unknown whether he understood it or not.

Outside the school, Uchiha Itachi waited and waited, but Sasuke did not come out.

"Did he climb over the wall?"

Just as he was about to go into the school to find out, there was a sound of flapping wings from behind. Turning around, he saw that it was Uchiha Shisui's Ninja Crow.

"Is Shisui back?"

Itachi's face was filled with a happy expression, and he waved to the Ninja Crow to come over. He took a paper roll from its feet and read it. His expression gradually returned to normal, and there was even some doubt in it.

However, the Ninja Crow was Shisui's Ninja Crow, and the note was written by Shisui.

[He came back instead of reporting the results of the mission first, but wanted to meet me first. Did something happen? ]

"Lead the way." Itachi was a little worried, leaving a shadow clone to continue waiting, but the real body followed the Ninja Crow.

But for some reason, he always felt that the ninja crow led a very easy path today, and stopped to wait for him from time to time. It was unexpectedly spiritual, as if there was a human soul living in it.

After about ten minutes, just when Zuosuke was about to walk out of the school gate and meet Itachi's clone, the latter turned into a cloud of smoke and suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, on the other side of the world.

Because of the time difference, it was already night in the Land of Water. Giyuu withdrew the dark red chakra lingering on his left arm and left leg and opened his eyes.

"The injury doesn't affect the movement much."

He rubbed his abdomen a little unskilled, and let the three-tailed take back all the chakra lent to him.

"It should be ready to go."
