Naruto: Becoming Stronger from Illusion

Haruno Sakura felt like hitting someone. Although winter had not arrived yet, the cold wind at night in late autumn was very biting.

Even though they were ninjas with strong physical fitness, there was no need to do this.

She threw the prey in her hand to him with a gloomy face.

"Go clean it up, peel the skin and remove the internal organs. There is a river over there, go there, and don't come back if you can't do it well!"

"Senior Sakura is so scary! Ah, I didn't say anything, I'll go right away!"

A Fei took a step back with a scared face, then quickly picked up the prey and ran towards the river.

Haruno Sakura couldn't help rolling her eyes. This guy was too dramatic.

She found a sheltered place nearby as their camp, and found some dry firewood and built a simple grill.

After this period of wandering and rebelling, her survival skills in the wild have greatly improved, and she is familiar with doing these things.

At this time, Ah Fei finally brought back the processed food, and he could hear his complaints from a distance.

"Senior Ying, you completed the task perfectly, I am so exhausted!"

He consciously put the food in front of Haruno Sakura, and then sat on the ground, chattering about his hard work.

Haruno Sakura no longer wanted to complain about him, and began to hang the food on the grill.

After all the preparations were ready, she pointed to the pile of firewood under the grill and said to Ah Fei: "Light the fire!"

"Hey, Senior Ying can't do fire escape?"

"Why? Can't I?" Haruno Sakura had a paralyzed face.

Although he was not proficient in fire escape, it was more than enough to light a fire.

But she couldn't stand him being idle, so she had to make him have something to do, so that he wouldn't be energetic all day and always nagging in her ear.

But thinking of his funny nature, she quickly threatened him:

"If you dare to burn the food, it will be your dinner!"

A Fei paused while making a seal, and the corners of his mouth that were raised under the mask froze. He controlled the size of the flame again and ignited the firewood.

"Look, A Fei's ignition skills are first-class!"

This sentence was inexplicably subtle.

Haruno Sakura ignored him and sat aside.

Occasionally she turned the barbecue over, and then stared at the stars in the night sky above her head.

In this situation, she suddenly missed her parents and friends in Konoha, and wondered what they were doing now.

Since leaving the village, the frequency of missing the peaceful life in Konoha has obviously decreased a lot.

It seems that she has really adapted to her current identity.

When she was wandering in the sky, she suddenly found that A Fei came over and sat next to her without knowing when.

He asked curiously, "Senior Ying, what are you thinking about?"

Haruno Ying turned her head and looked at him, smiling and saying, "I'm thinking about a ghost story. Do you want to hear it?"

A Fei immediately jumped up and took a few steps back in fear, revealing a rejection.

"Damn, damn, A Fei is most afraid of ghosts!"

Haruno Ying rolled her eyes silently in her heart and continued to look at her stars.

A Fei saw that she didn't speak, and suddenly felt a little anxious.

In the end, she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she sat down again and asked in a low voice.

"Senior Ying, is that ghost story scary?"

Haruno Ying didn't know if he was pretending to be afraid of ghosts, or if he was really afraid of ghosts and was curious, "Do you want to know?"

Because he was wearing a mask, Haruno Ying couldn't see his expression.

But he seemed to hesitate for a long time before he replied weakly with a heroic gesture, "Yes!"

Haruno Ying felt that she seemed to have shot herself in the foot.

She was just making it up, but she didn't expect him to tell her the truth. Where could she find ghost stories?

She looked at Ah Fei with a hard-to-tell look.

She looked away and thought for a while before saying to him, "Then I'll start!"

Although he was a little hesitant, he still nodded.

She laughed, lowered her voice a little, and began to make up stories.

"On a dark and windy night, a ninja team was on a mission outside the village. They had to camp in the wilderness because they were in a hurry.

When they set up the camp and prepared to rest, the captain suddenly became interested and suggested that they take turns telling ghost stories.

He said that as a reward, whoever told the scariest story would have the privilege of not having to keep watch the next time they camped.

Several people looked at each other and agreed to the proposal without much hesitation.

So several team members began to take turns telling ghost stories.

Their stories were remarkable, but they were not very novel.

Finally, it was the captain's turn.

The captain seemed to have some discomfort in his throat. He coughed and then began to tell the story.

He said that there was a couple who had two sons.

One day, their family went out to visit relatives, and on the way back they passed a wooden bridge.

When they stepped onto the bridge, the bridge suddenly broke due to years of disrepair.

The family fell into the water and died after a few struggles.

The male owner of the family thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that his consciousness would be clear again.

At this time, it was unknown how long it had been since he died.

But when he found the bodies of their family, they had all become skeletons.

Not long after, he was surprised to find that his wife and son woke up one after another.

But unfortunately, their family had all become water ghosts.

Only by finding a scapegoat could they be freed.

But this place was originally sparsely populated and few people came.

So they waited and waited, and finally waited for a group of four people to come here to camp overnight.

The male owner seized the opportunity and waited for one of them to go fishing in the river, and then entangled him.

The man struggled a few times and became his scapegoat.

At this point, the captain suddenly stopped.

Several team members were listening attentively and hurriedly asked about the follow-up.

The only female team member in the team suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

She reached out and touched it, and found that there were a few drops of water on her neck.

She turned her head in confusion, but was horrified to find that there was a woman standing behind her.

The woman was soaked and pale, and looked like she had just climbed out of the river.

Seeing that she had discovered herself, the woman showed a creepy smile, and the long hair scattered in front of her stretched out and wrapped around her neck as if alive.

Before her teammates could react, they quickly dragged her into the river.

The other two team members hurried to the river to save her.

But they didn't realize that their captain had come behind them at some point and pushed them into the river.

The two were pushed into the river unexpectedly, and they struggled for a few times before they stopped moving.

After a while, three team members suddenly struggled to climb out of the river.

They slowly approached the captain and surrounded him.

One of the team members raised his pale face and grinned.

He said to the captain, "Father, let's go home!"

It must be said that Haruno Sakura's ghost story does not sound scary.

However, her tone was well-placed, and the pauses were just right, creating a very successful atmosphere of horror.

Especially the last sentence, her gloomy tone directly raised the horror value to the maximum.
