Chapter 2642 The Hand Behind the Scenes

"Naruto: Chiba Legend ()"

"Well... you are right about this question. I am actually dead."

In response to the two people's questions with a strong tone of confusion, Xuena paused slightly, but slowly sat down, and made a "please" gesture, gesturing for the two to sit down, and spoke in a long-talking manner. The posture spoke.

"That……"

Seeing Xuena's actions and hearing Xuena's words, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata also sat down, and asked with a little hesitation in their mouths.

already dead?

How can it be?

Could it be that we are actually already dead?

And their hearts were filled with thumps.

When a dead person stands in front of them, the only possibility they can think of is that this space is actually the space of the dead, which is the so-called Paradise.

No.

It doesn't look like the Paradise, it should be the world after death. Maybe the so-called Paradise is just a lie, just to make people not afraid of death.

Looking at the current situation, their Aunt Xue Nai has been staying here for more than ten years, which undoubtedly made them think of a more terrifying thing.

Then, they may be trapped here forever, and their souls may also have to suffer this kind of torture for a long time.

Undoubtedly, they may have to face the most terrifying fact next.

Not only did they die.

Moreover, he will be trapped here forever and will not be allowed to reincarnate.

Nothing, nothing more terrifying than this.

"Is this the world after death, the paradise?"

Then, the next second, they asked almost subconsciously.

"No, not here."

In response, Xuena shook her head and said the denial they wanted most.

"However, this is the world after death, and I think it should be quite accurate."

However, the next second, Xuena's words made their hearts lift again.

"As far as I know, the people here are basically dead."

At the end, she added.

Is it the paradise world...?

It seems that this idea of ​​the afterlife is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And such a thought flashed through her mind.

Obviously, he was quite moved by these two children's talk about the paradise world.

Basically dead...

Could it be, really...

At this time, after hearing a series of words from their Aunt Xuena, Hinata Neji and Hinata Hinata couldn't help showing a look of horror on their faces.

Even if you die, you will be trapped in this dark space forever and suffer the torture of time. Even a senior ninja will probably be unstoppable in fear, although neither Hyuga Neji nor Hinata are in front of them. They are weak-willed people, but they are still children after all, and they are not mature enough yet. At this moment, they are already a little panicked and anxious.

"Then, will we be trapped here too?"

But at this time, they asked eagerly, almost blurting out.

"you?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai raised her head, looked at the two of them, and repeated it slightly surprised.

"Um!"

In response, the two nodded repeatedly.

"Don't you yourselves know?"

Hearing this, Xuena suddenly laughed.

These two children are so cute no matter how you look at them!

But there was a slight interruption in her heart.

"without."

Regarding this, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata certainly didn't know about their aunt's inner interruption, but at this time they shook their heads repeatedly, expressing the word "I don't know" very strongly.

"Are you breathing?"

Hearing this, Xuena completely laughed and said.

"breathe?"

When they heard this sentence, the two of them were slightly stunned, and then you looked at me and I looked at you.

Next, take a deep breath.

Um……

They can breathe.

Then, they were sure that they were still breathing.

"have."

Then, after confirming, they spoke almost numbly.

"Then are you dead?"

Hearing this, Xuena's laughter could hardly be suppressed.

"Well……"

And after hearing this sentence and seeing Xuena almost unable to hold back her laughter, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata reacted at the same time. Their cheeks turned red, but they lowered their heads in unison. Embarrassment is written all over his face.

Thinking about my behavior just now, I feel a little sorry for my status as a ninja. I was so frightened that I lost all normal thinking and logic.

As a ninja, this is absolutely out of character.

If the person sitting across from you is an enemy rather than a friend, they may be putting their name into someone else's hands.

However, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata were not aware at this time. If the girl in front of them was really an enemy rather than a friend, they probably wouldn't be so brainless.

The reason why they acted without thinking just now was entirely because they knew that the girl in front of them, their Aunt Xue Nai, would not harm them.

Moreover, if it was going to be detrimental to them, they would have attacked them just now. Under the sneak attack, Hyuga Neji was confident of protecting himself, but Hinata was not necessarily sure, and he could still cut down one person.

Moreover, in fact, in Chiba's description of Xuena, they have already developed a kind of Confucian admiration for this aunt who can improve the soft fist method and increase its power ten times or even a hundred times. Feeling of longing.

Especially, when I heard that this aunt drained the last drop of blood from her body to save Teacher Chiba, on top of this feeling of reverence, there was also a touch of emotion. In terms of personality, this Aunt Xue Nai seemed to It is taller.

This is why, even though the girl in front of them looked to be about the same age as them, they immediately called her aunt after learning her identity.

If it weren't for admiration and admiration from the bottom of their hearts, how could they willingly call someone their elder when they were facing someone they looked like their own age?

Therefore, the reason why they lost their ability to think this time was largely because the existence of the people they admired and admired in front of them made them feel safe from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were at home with their relatives. Discuss and discuss without any pressure or burden.

To a large extent, they have even forgotten that they are in darkness, surrounded by unknown and fear-worthy environments.

Coupled with the fact that Xuena in front of them had the aura of a superior person, the way he talked and looked, and the feeling of pampering from an elder, they unconsciously returned to the state of mind of children.

Throw away the ninja layer.

In the final analysis, Xuena made them feel safe. Because it was too safe, they were too relaxed and did not use the ninja thinking mode.

"Strictly speaking, I am dead, but unlike you, this is not necessarily the world after death. For me, there are too many unknowns here. However, what I can know now is that this place can also accommodate You and I can see who is dead and who is not dead.”

In response, Xuena slowly faded away her smile and said.

There are still many unknown places...

No.

It's too much.

Aunt Xue Nai, are you still not sure what is going on here?

At this time, the two people who heard this sentence also put away their embarrassment. Hinata Neji was keenly aware of something, and this thought changed in his mind.

"So, this can't be Elysium."

And when Hyuga Neji turned around such an idea, Hinata Hinata spoke.

"Yes, this is not the paradise we call, and this world does not have the concept of space. Even if we can perceive time, we have no concept of time."

In this regard, Xuena spoke again.

In the past ten years, although I don't know how long it has passed, Xuena can feel the passage of time. There is a feeling of time here, but there is no concept of time. It can be said that it is a quite terrible thing.

Without the concept of time, it can almost be said to be endless. With the feeling of time, it is tormented in infinity.

Because time, in today's environment, is definitely a negative word, especially when there is no way out, it is absolute torture.

This concept of space without space seems to serve precisely the torture of time.

At least, Xue Nai had been counting silently by herself, and had been walking for half a year. She had never left this space, not even the corners. All places were the same.

Although it is difficult to tell the direction without a reference object, she has Byakugan and has the ability to draw a straight line within a wide range of sight. She can still be sure that she is walking in a straight line. of.

And compared to Neji and Hinata, she has no body. In the state of the soul body, her already huge and terrifying amount of chakra seems endless, and the consumption of the Byakugan is almost negligible.

No rest is needed either.

In the past six months, along a straight line, most of the ninja world has almost been completed. No matter how huge this space is, something that cannot be contained will be revealed.

However, walking around, she found nothing except meeting dozens of soul bodies who were also trapped here.

Even after contacting those friendly and unfriendly soul bodies, she became even more convinced that there was no concept of space here.

The entire space is an existence that uses time to slowly torture them.

Moreover, she was not the first being to come to this space. She had once encountered a being who had a special sense of time. He had been here for at least a hundred years. When she saw him, this soul body His eyes were dull and he could hardly speak. He could only mutter desperate words that had been repeated for a hundred years.

"The cage of time..."

After hearing Xue Nai's words, Hyuga Neji seemed to be a strange person, and suddenly uttered such a sentence in his mouth.

"Yes, compared to any space, this place is more like a cage. A cage that uses time to torture sinners. It is very appropriate to call it a cage of time."

In response, Xuena nodded and said affirmatively.

"So, we...are all sinners?"

After hearing the words of the two people, Hinata Hinata spoke.

There was quite a bit of lack of confidence in his words, and he sounded frightened.

After all, for a qualified daughter-in-law of the Hyuga clan, what kind of imprisonment or cage is almost a psychological shadow.

Although she knew that she couldn't be afraid now and didn't need to be afraid, she still couldn't suppress the fear, and her body almost trembled.

"How did you get in?"

After hearing this, Xuena glanced at Hinata, with a warm smile on her lips, telling her not to be afraid or afraid. After comforting Hinata, she asked.

But he quietly changed the topic.

"It was a blood-moon silver-robed man who opened this place. We were thrown into this space."

After hearing Xuena's words, Hyuga Neji paused for a moment, seemed to organize his words, and spoke.

"The man in blood moon silver robe? Uchiha... Nobuhiko?"

But they didn't expect that Xuena's expression, which had always been very calm and gave them a sense of reassurance, suddenly changed, and he almost stood up.

"Uchiha Nobuhiko?"

In this regard, Hinata Hinata was so surprised by Yukina's actions that she subconsciously repeated the name.

And added his own doubts.

Hinata Neji also looked up in shock and opened his eyes wide.

At this moment, the face of the girl who was almost standing up was already covered with gloom, as if she had realized something very terrible.

Or rather, something very bad.

For a moment, Hinata Neji's heart skipped a beat, and his heart beat rapidly due to vague panic.

Vaguely, he felt that the words Uchiha Nobuhiko represented a nightmare-like existence.

Yeah……

I get it, I get it!

Although I don’t know why there are souls here for more than a hundred years, what is certain is that this time cage is Uchiha Nobuhiko’s time and space ability.

True, space-time capabilities.

He can open and close this cage.

It can even catch beings that are not dead yet.

At this moment, a series of thoughts flashed through Xuena's mind.

At the same time, one scene after another flashed through her mind, especially the two roads that appeared in front of her when she walked that section of the road after bidding farewell to Qianye in her original soul state.

A bright and warm one.

A darkness spreads.

Yes, after she walked through Huangquan Road, there were actually two roads in front of her.

And she almost instinctively chose the bright and warm path at that time.

However, just when she set foot on that road, the scenery in front of her suddenly changed. When she came back to her senses, she was already walking on that dark road, and she was no longer there. The method retreated.

After that, come here.

But now it seems that it is obvious that Uchiha Nobuhiko is responsible. Interfering with the cycle of life and death is something that Uchiha Nobuhiko can only do!

"No, Chiba!"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Since it was Uchiha Nobuhiko who did it, there is no need to think too much about the reason, there is only one reason.

That is……

His old enemy, Chiba!

All this is to deal with Qianye!
