I draw sword light in the ninja world

Whizzing...

Deep in the dark forest, Hua Hui followed closely behind Hayato, who was carrying Baiyun Caiyu.

at this time--

Boom! !

A huge roar suddenly sounded in the distance behind him, and a strong earthquake was felt. The ground trembled slightly, and even the nearby trees swayed slightly.

"what happened?!"

Huahui was suddenly startled, and before Hayato could say anything, he exerted force on his feet. The chakra under his soles absorbed the bark of the tree, and he quickly rushed towards the top of the tree.

As a Konoha chunin who has passed the chunin exam, her basic skills are naturally very solid. Although she is far from Hayato, she is able to use basic chakra such as climbing trees with her feet and walking on water. not bad.

In just two seconds, she sprang out from the lush leaves, then stood firmly on the branch, looking towards the direction of the sound.

Soon, she saw a dazzling fireball expanding rapidly under the night sky in the distance, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark surrounding night.

Such a strong fire obviously cannot occur naturally.

There were probably ninjas fighting fiercely there.

After a moment, her shoulders suddenly trembled.

Feeling the slight tremor under her feet, for some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, and an ominous premonition slowly rose.

Although there was no basis for it, she always felt that something bad was happening.

"Let's go."

Hayato's calm voice came from below.

"We have to leave here quickly and meet up with Minato-sensei and the others."

Huahui came back to her senses.

But she didn't start immediately. Instead, she stared at the fire in the distance. After a while, her calloused hands tightened inexplicably.

"Hayato-kun, over there..."

"No need to care."

Hayato's voice was still as calm as water, without any ripples.

"Beyond the mission, there is no need to pay attention to other people's affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took steps and walked towards the exit of the dense forest.

The Hayato who appeared here was naturally not his true form, but the shadow clone that he separated just in case to take Hua Hui and the seriously injured Baiyun Caiyu away from this dangerous country.

Of course, his main purpose was to allow Hua Hui and Teacher Loli, who was no longer capable of fighting, to leave safely, so as not to stay in the way due to temporary impulses.

After all, his combat ability alone is very strong, and it is not much worse than that of a team.

Especially when teammates are unreliable.

If his teammate was Baiyun Caiyu, he wouldn't mind fighting alongside her, but Huahui would be fine.

This little girl is still too young, in every sense of the word.

pat...

Huahui landed lightly not far behind him, and then followed his footsteps in a few steps.

But she didn't speak immediately, nor did she go to Hayato's side and walk side by side with him. Instead, she looked at Hayato's back with a hesitant expression. She opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out, as if she was hesitant to speak. appearance.

"what happened?"

Hayato quickly felt her gaze and asked softly.

"Hayato-kun..."

Huahui finally spoke, but the moment she called out Hayato's name——

"Hmm..."

Behind Hayato, a low groan suddenly sounded, and at the same time, the small hands that had been surrounding Hayato gently grabbed him.

After a while, the eyelids of Baiyun Caiyu, who was carried on his back, moved, and then slowly opened.

"Iroha-sensei?"

Hayato called softly.

"Um..."

After a while, a weak response slowly sounded.

"Where...is this?"

"It's still the same forest."

"Where's the enemy?"

"Killed by you."

"I mean those moon ninja troops."

"I killed it."

"Is it?"

"Yes..."

"That's it... Haha... you are indeed worthy of being Hayato-kun."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling."

Iroha asked a few casual questions, and after understanding her situation, she lowered her head and gently rested her small chin on Hayato's shoulder.

Although she was surprised that Hayato could kill so many moon ninjas, she was not unable to accept it.

After all, in her eyes, Hayato has always been a unique genius, or a special talent. He could see this when he competed for the bell test.

"So...are we safe now?"

"not yet."

"Is it because of the enemy's pursuit technique?"

"Ah."

As soon as Baiyun Caiyu woke up, Huahui swallowed back what she originally wanted to say, and then followed the two of them silently without saying a word.

The two of them and the shadow clone just traveled a short distance.

at this time--

Boom! !

In the distance behind him, there was suddenly another loud noise.

A moment later, the shock caused by the aftermath of the explosion came again, and even the white clouds behind Hayato could feel the obvious shock.

A slight tremor appeared on the exposed skin.

Regarding the explosion behind him, Hayato remained expressionless, as if he didn't feel anything, but his pace quickened a little.

Baiyun Caiyu raised his little head, his chin left Hayato's shoulder, then turned back and looked thoughtfully towards the direction where the explosion came from.

Through the gaps in the leaves that were passing quickly, she could vaguely see the light of fire.

"Ok?"

I don't know what came to mind, Caiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression suddenly became a little subtle.

"Besides us, were there any other ninjas attacked by the moon-nins?"

"Who knows."

Hayato responded casually.

"It has nothing to do with us anyway. It's best if the enemy is attracted by the movement there, so that we can leave here safely, right?"

"Is it..."

Caiyu shook his head, then looked deeply at Hayato in front of him, and let out an inexplicable sigh.

"We...what..."

She murmured something like a whisper, and then gently leaned on Hayato's shoulder that was not broad again.

The next second, Iroha's little hand wrapped around Hayato's neck and exerted slight force. The little face buried in Hayato's shoulder slowly revealed a complicated expression.

At the same time, after Huahui heard another explosion, her hesitant face was now filled with confusion.

Although the chakra in her body was still abundant, the chakra she used to maintain her body's high mobility was inexplicably missing. Without enough chakra to maintain her body, her running speed naturally slowed down.

Hayato quickly noticed something strange about her.

"Hua Hui."

"what?"

Hearing Hayato calling her, Huahui raised her head subconsciously.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"

Hearing this, Huahui shook her head without hesitation.

"No, I'm fine."

After receiving this answer, Hayato couldn't help but frown slightly.

Did this girl notice something?

shouldn't be...

He shook his head to clear away the distracting thoughts from his mind.

No matter what, whether she noticed it or not, what he was going to do was the same.

In this case, there is no need to think too much and just do it according to the will of the main body.

"If nothing happens, don't slow down."

After a pause, Hayato spoke again.

"This is the enemy's sphere of influence, and we have been locked once by the enemy's tracking technique. No one knows if the enemy has any means to pursue us."

His voice was a little deep.

"As long as we don't leave here, we are still in danger, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Huahui lowered her head slightly.

"Sorry, Hayato-kun."

Although she said this, the tangled look on her face did not fade away, but it was blocked by her hanging bangs, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

Caiyu raised his head slightly and looked at Huahui, his eyes inexplicably becoming a little deeper.

Hayato nodded.

"Well, it's good that you know the importance."

With that said, he turned around, leaving only a small half of his chakra concentrated at his feet, ready to start again.

However, at this moment-

"Hey, Hayato-kun..."

Iroha from behind suddenly spoke.

"Is it really okay for you to be like this?"

While speaking, Iroha's petite body arched forward with difficulty, her little head that was originally leaning on Hayato's right shoulder tilted slightly, and then when Hayato looked over, she raised her bright eyes.

Their eyes met, and Hayato saw something in her pupils that he couldn't understand.

"What do Iroha-sensei mean?"

"your choice."

Caiyu's words were concise and to the point.

"Feel sorry."

Hayato looked a little indifferent, and at the same time avoided Iroha's direct gaze.

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about, Mr. Iroha."

"It's not a good habit to pretend to be confused, Hayato-kun."

Iroha didn't look away, but looked straight at Hayato.

"Especially when facing the instructor and the captain of the three-person team."

Upon hearing this, Hayato was immediately sure that he had been seen through by Baiyun Caiyu.

Although I don't know how she did it.

However, even so, he still did not admit it directly.

"Now is not the time to say such incomprehensible words, Iroha-sensei."

Seeing him speaking back, Baiyun Caiyu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed slightly.

"A mere shadow clone can be so arrogant. It's indeed you."

Sure enough, Iroha revealed the true identity of the shadow clone.

Then, she suddenly raised her little bandaged hand, gently placed it on Hayato's cheek, and started to rub it gently.

The pale lips opened and closed, rarely speaking gentle words:

"However, when faced with the enemy's pursuit, you choose to sacrifice yourself to give your companions who are injured and unable to fight and who have not yet grown up a chance to escape. This kind of thing... Teacher has experienced it before."

Snapped!

The moment he finished speaking, there was a soft sound behind him.

But the kunai that Huahui had been holding tightly in her hand to deal with enemies that might appear at any time fell to the ground.

But she herself stood there as if struck by lightning.

"I don't deny that this approach is great. A ninja who can make this choice must put his companions above himself in his heart. I also know that you have always valued your companions, but..."

When Caiyu said this, he paused for a moment, and his expression gradually became a little heavy.

"For those who survive in the end, standing on the corpses of their companions and lingering on is a torture that is worse than death. Hayato-kun, don't you think that the burden that will inevitably accompany you throughout your life is too much? Is it heavy?"

Hearing this, even though it was essentially just a lump of chakra, Hayabusa's shadow clone couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

God is so self-sacrificing!

I just don’t want to carry two troublesome burdens to get resources, okay? !

Why did she become the Virgin who sacrificed herself to buy time for her companions to escape?

The Holy Mother climbed for the Lord!

After a moment, Hayato opened his mouth and was about to say something.

However...

"Is that really the case..."

The pale Huahui almost said this through gritted teeth.

Swish! !

A burst of chakra suddenly surged out from her seemingly fragile body, and then seemed to turn into substance, whipping up a strong wind around her.

Hayato's eyes immediately narrowed when he saw Kawai suddenly showing chakra control ability and chakra volume (referred to as explosive seed) far beyond his usual level.

Damn it, is this girl going back to cause trouble?

Without any hesitation, Hayato pushed his feet hard and came behind Hua Hui in a flash. The last blow of his hand knife fell and hit Hua Hui's neck.

boom!

Huahui only had time to groan, before her vision went dark, her body fell down weakly, and was finally scooped into Hayato's arms.

"Tsk..."

Hayato clicked his tongue, and then glanced at Iroha behind him with some dissatisfaction.

"Iroha-sensei, at this time, you are still causing trouble to the students. Isn't this what a mentor jounin should do?"

Iroha shook her head and did not accept Hayato's words.

She knew that Hayato's choice was right. This was irrefutable. Otherwise, unless Hayato left the two of them as burdens and escaped alone, if the enemy still had the means to track and pursue them, all three of them would probably die here. .

And just now, if she had allowed Huahui to rush back because of her feverish mind, she would have just watched her die, so she didn't say much about the rude behavior of Hayabusa's shadow clone.

She also knew that the most sensible thing to do was to realize that the Hayato in front of her was actually just a shadow clone, and that the real Hayato was most likely fighting the enemy to the death near the explosion area to buy them time to escape. , choose silence.

See through, don’t say through.

However, knowing is one thing, and whether you can do it is another.

Obviously, she couldn't just accept Hayato's sacrifice silently.

Even if she is an elite Jonin who has experienced countless dangerous battles, witnessed one tragedy after another in the ninja world, and even killed her companions who once fought side by side.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Hayato didn't speak again.

"Hey!"

He put the unconscious Hua Hui on the other shoulder, and after fixing it, Hayato used his strength directly with his feet, jumped up to a high tree trunk, and then quickly used the remaining chakra to carry the two people on his back. Traveling quickly through the forest.

Not long after, they arrived at the edge of the dense forest.

Through the gaps between the trees, one can clearly see the bright moonlight outside, like grass covered with a layer of silver frost.

Hayato just paused for a moment, then jumped down and landed steadily on a rock below.

"Hayato-kun, will we meet again?"

As soon as he landed, Hayato heard Iroha's soft voice.

"of course."

Without any hesitation, Hayato responded directly.

"That..."

The warm breath blew past his ears, making Hayato feel a slight tingling sensation.

"Teacher, how about I tell you the secrets about me when we meet next time, including what you are most curious about, why I maintain the same posture as when I was young?"

Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but be slightly startled.
