The kunai that had been waiting for a long time did not stab the heart. The kunai stopped in front of the forehead. The chakra thread began to become twisted, and the kunai also twisted and swayed.

Joruri opened her ruby-like eyes and watched all this in horror. The tip of the kunai pierced the center of her eyebrow, and she felt warm blood flowing out from the wound.

But... why is this?

He looked blankly at Somo in front of him. At this moment, the tip of a short knife appeared on Somo's chest.

Jing Liuli's expression changed from fear to shock. She had seen this knife countless times, but she could recognize it just by the tip of the knife.

In the distance, on the verge of death, Sakumo had an idea and used the detonating talisman he carried with him to create a hurricane. While blowing up the demon, it also blew away the poisonous mist. He used the last remaining thunder chakra to form a layer. Use a thin layer of protection to protect your vitals and try to minimize the damage.

Like throwing a shuriken, Sakumo used all his strength to throw the short chakra knife that had been following him. Fortunately, the target was restrained by Joruri's long hair and could not move, allowing him to hit it with one blow.

"Thank God... I caught up."

With a clang, the control of the chakra thread was lost, and the kunai lost its point of strength and fell straight to the ground.

Sumo's eyes were still wide open, filled with disbelief and disbelief. This look seemed to be engraved on her face, and it had always been like that.

Joruri could no longer hold on, and her long hair quickly began to shrink. The moment Soma fell to the ground, Joruri's hair also returned to its original length.

Her body shook a few times and fell backward.

But what she felt was not grass. What was it?

She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the dazzling sunshine and a face with blood at the corner of the mouth. The man looked at her and smiled tiredly, although it was hard but still gentle.

"Brother..." Jing Liuli called him weakly.

Sakumo smiled wider at her, his eyes curled into crescent moons.

"Jing Liuli, you did a good job." He praised her.

Jing Liuli looked at him blankly. Although he was embarrassed, his smile was still so beautiful. He smiled and told her that he did a good job.

At this moment, Jing Liuli didn't know what she was feeling. When fighting Soma, she had been scared more than once. She also saw such scary sights and heard such terrifying sounds. She was only one step away from death... …

She is actually very timid. Even when she goes on a mission, she is the one who is protected in the team.

This battle, this battle...

Sakumo watched Joruri cry helplessly. This girl had never looked so embarrassed in front of him. She buried her bloody face in his arms as if she had been greatly wronged. Both hands grasped his mail that had been scratched by the knife, and his delicate body was shaking non-stop.

After Sakumo was stunned for a few seconds, he finally came to his senses.

He laughed helplessly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he patted her thin back.

"Stop crying, it's all over. This time, you did very well." He comforted her, and as if he thought of something, he added, "This time, you didn't close your eyes, Jing Liuli. "

The girl gradually settled down in his arms. That time, in the underground stronghold of Yu Zhi Country, facing such a strong experimental body, Jing Liuli closed her eyes in fear when the danger came.

Years have passed, and she is no longer the useless little girl she was.

She has grown up...

The fingers holding Sakumo's mail slowly loosened, and his slender white hands dropped to the grass beneath him.

The tired smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth, and Sakumo suddenly realized that something was wrong. He worriedly grabbed Joruri's shoulders and pulled the girl out of his arms.

"Joruri?"

"..."

"Joruri, what's wrong with you?"

Still no one responded to him.

A patch of black green appeared in the middle of the girl's fair face, and the black green was slowly spreading outward with the injured eyebrow as the center point.

Jing Liuli, she was poisoned.

It only took Konoha less than three hours to successfully repel Sunagakure's surprise attack force. In line with the mentality of not pursuing the enemy, they did not kill the few Sunagakure ninjas who escaped.

The Konoha ninjas who rushed over later sent their injured comrades to Konoha Hospital. Now, the few remaining medical ninjas in the hospital are busy running around, treating the heroes who protect the village.

When Kagura heard the news and went to the hospital, the corridor of the hospital was extremely crowded. They were all injured ninjas who had intercepted Sunagakure's surprise attack. The slightly injured ones could still walk on their own, but more seriously injured people fell into coma. Listening to The nurse who hurried over said that he was poisoned.

Kagura glanced at the poisoned ninja lying on the stretcher. His face was black and blue with purple in it, and he looked very scary.

After turning this corridor, we came to the emergency room. Tobirama and two masked ANBU personnel were talking to the same doctor at the door of the emergency room.

Tobirama frowned, his face expressionless, like a calm lake.

Just over ten minutes ago, in the shelter, ANBU personnel came to tell her that Joruri was injured during the mission to intercept Sunagakure's surprise attack and was admitted to the hospital. After hearing the news, she rushed here immediately.

Now, she's here, that child...

Kagura was suddenly very scared, just like she had thought before, she was a character that didn't exist in the first place. She didn't know her ending, she didn't know what would happen to her, what she would do, and where her life would stop.

Kagura suddenly thought of the time when her grandma passed away. She was in junior high school at that time. Her grandma, who had always been in good health, suddenly went to the hospital because of a cerebral hemorrhage.

At that time, their family was waiting outside the emergency room as they are now, but grandma was not rescued.

That feeling of fear came to her again after so many years, traveling through time and space, and it was difficult not to think about it.

An ANBU member noticed Kagura behind them. It happened that Tobirama's conversation with the doctor ended at this time. The doctor entered the emergency room again. The ANBU member said something to Tobirama, and Tobirama immediately turned around.

Everyone else had left, and now they were the only two people in the corridor.

Seeing Kagura's frightened face, Tobirama sighed slightly. He stretched out a hand towards Kagura. Before he could speak, the hand was grabbed by Kagura who rushed over. Living.

Kagura, who had always been like a small stove, now felt a slight coolness in her hands.

She held Tobirama's hand tightly, as if she wanted to draw a little warmth from the warm hand to warm herself.

Tobirama frowned, and used his other arm to wrap his slender body in his arms, patting her back gently with his hand to comfort her.

Even in his arms, he could still feel the body trembling, trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, our daughter is fine, she will be fine."

"When my grandma passed away, my father told me the same thing, but..."

Tobirama had never taken the initiative to ask about Kagura's life experience. He didn't know what happened before she came to Konoha. Even so, he felt that there was a difference between the two things.

Putting his voice softer, Tobirama said: "Lake Biwa is inside, you should believe her."

"Are you seriously injured?" Kagura asked him crying with her face buried in Tobirama's chest.

"……poisoned."

"Why did you let her go..."

"..."

Tobirama was speechless, he didn't let Joruri go, the child went out privately by himself.

Although he was angry that she acted privately when he first heard about it, Tobirama also knew that she had done nothing wrong. As a ninja of Konoha, what was wrong with taking the lead in protecting the village when the enemy invaded?

Even if Jing Liuli came to him and personally asked for permission to go out and intercept him, wouldn't he still have to agree?

Now it seems that his daughter has the same will as him and regards the safety of the village as more important than her own life.

Joruri is not only Kagura's daughter, but also his only child. Tobirama can empathize with Kagura's fears and worries.

However, in front of Kagura, Tobirama could not speak to her as a shadow, and that set of correct explanations was useless to Kagura.

He could only continue to comfort her and himself, saying again and again, "She is our child, she will be fine, don't worry, I'm here..."

The words are nice, but they are of little use.
