Naruto does not speak secretly

Chop, chop, stab.

The various sharp weapons transformed by modeling magic are essentially just ice, not to mention the magic power contained in the body of a young mage is worrying, and it cannot maintain the sharpness of ice weapons for a long time.

The large-scale freezing magic consumes even more mana, dragging the unconscious Naruto on his body, Gray carefully leaned against the corner cabinet and panted heavily, trying to quiet down the sound of his breathing.

It obviously doesn't look like a very big house, but now it seems to be enlarged a thousand times.

There are exactly the same decorations everywhere, I don't know how long I have been running, but I can't find the end at all.

—It took only a short while to find the room this guy was in.

Gray exhaled a breath, his body temperature was extremely low, the breath he exhaled was misty white.

He looked at the corridor outside, and sure enough, it still extended to a deeper and darker place.

"This task is obviously more than this level. When I go back, I must beat up the guy who screened the task..."

He muttered softly, stuffing Naruto into the cabinet behind him.

The ground shook, and the sound of something wriggling became louder.

That was the sound of countless entangled jet-black vines climbing along the wall.

--coming soon.

He clasped his hands together, and then pressed them on the ground, using the last modeling magic to extract his own magic power.

A thick wall of ice was erected to wrap around the wooden cabinet behind it, completely protecting the children inside.

Gray, who was physically exhausted, almost knelt on the ground when he stood up. He reached out and grabbed the somewhat cracked ice blade, supported the ground before standing up, and used the remaining magic power to create an axe, and stood at the corner of the corridor.

In the room before that, I saw some tattered and smelly clothes. The owners of these clothes may have already become the nourishment of this house.

I don't know why no one has discovered the abnormality until now...

On the skin of the arms and wrists, red blood oozes from the scratches, stains the ice, and then condenses into red ice cubes.

"Such a waste of effort! The entrustment fee is not much... bastard client!!"

He squeezed the weapon in his hand tightly, staring at the shadow spreading from the corridor, and when the shadow of the vine reached the most turning point, he jumped out.

Axes and knives chopped through the twisted and twisted vines.

The chopped vines twitched a few times on the ground, and finally turned into a cluster of black ash as if they had been burned by fire.

There was a burning smell in the air, like a rotten smell.

Two kinds of smells that challenge people's sense of smell are intertwined, attacking Gray's body and spirit almost all the time.

——Good...it stinks!

Holding his breath, he chopped off the vines that twined around his ankles.

The seemingly fragile vines have terrifying power.

After touching the human limbs, it tightened directly, and after being entangled for a while, bruises were already printed on the skin.

Some vines with extremely fast attack speed can easily cause some penetrating wounds and abrasions in the weak places of the human body.

Therefore, the vines that tasted some bloody smell even more frantically attacked the "prey" that resisted themselves.

One is a child who is exhausted, the other is a man-eating plant that has taken root in the house.

Under such an overwhelming duel, the children blocking the entrance of the corridor did not take half a step back.

"...Who will let you pass by." Wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth, he opened his arms and stood in front of Naruto again.

The weapon in his hand has long been damaged, and the sharp blade used to attack has been pitted.

The ice skates made before were completely scrapped, and only the larger axes were still holding on.

The vines that followed him didn't care about the attack of the child on the opposite side. They wrapped around Gray's limbs, and the smaller vines poked at the wound.

Unable to move his hands and feet, Gray struggled, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw other vines swimming towards the cabinet where Naruto was huddled.

"Bring me back!!!"

The veins on his neck and forehead were bulging, but even though he was struggling like this, the guy wrapped around him showed no sign of relaxing.

The anxious child moved all over, and then flicked, biting the black vines around him with his teeth.

"Give it to me..." He tore it with his teeth, piercing the tender flesh around his mouth with some barbed vines, and the black ash he spit out even had some blood on it.

"Bring me back!"

But how could the vine, which had exhausted all his magic power, stop because of this?

The thick vines hit the ice protective cover, cracks appeared on it, and then expanded, and transparent ice slag fell to the ground.

Gray, who was wrapped in vines, struggled, the opposite shield collapsed, and the ice that fell on the ground stirred up dust all over the ground and the black ash from the dissipated vines, with some white mist in it.

The vine slowly swam over like a poisonous snake, its top tentatively touched the cabinet.

The originally tightly closed wooden cabinet was suddenly pushed open.

"Grey...?"

Amidst the rising dust, a child's unique voice called Gray's name softly, probably because he had just woken up and was still a little confused.

A hand with wheat-colored skin ruthlessly grasped the vine's body, and long and sharp claws that should not have grown out were piercing fiercely into it.

"Hmm... my eyes are so uncomfortable..."

Unconsciously throwing the penetrating vine on the ground, the blond child crawled out.

He rubbed his eyes and tilted his head, as if he didn't understand the situation around him.

After all, in his opinion, he just had a bad dream.

"Naruto... um! Hurry... let's go!"

"Grey?"

Naruto turned his head, but saw that his companion was wrapped in the vines and almost disappeared.

The little red marks left on the ground and the ice, as well as the bruises on the exposed body of the other party, seemed to tell him what happened here.

--Blood?

—Who is hurt?

— Gray?

"Naruto! Go!"

His mouth and nose were covered, and he couldn't pant or breathe, so he could only yell in a muffled voice.

When the python kills its prey, the action it takes is to entangle the prey, and finally cause its body to fail to supply blood, respiratory failure and heart stop beating, and then die.

At this time, the hunting method of vines is also the same, or in other words, it is more terrifying than pythons.

He could feel the vines wrapped around his body getting tighter and tighter, and he didn't know if he would suffocate to death in the end, or if his blood circulation was cut off, and his heart stopped beating and he died.

Oops... he thought so.

Naruto is so weak...

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have...

"Grey!"

—Who is calling him?

The vines that were tightening up were instantly relieved of their strength, and the squeezed body regained oxygen.

He lay powerlessly on the ground, and after the pain of falling abruptly, what rose up was the joy of the rest of his life.

The young mage only reacted for a while, coughing vigorously at the black ash and blood that he had sucked in, propped up his upper body and looked forward, yelling the word Naruto indistinctly.

injured?

got caught?

Did Naruto escape successfully?

Gray thought so, trying to open his eyes wide.

What kind of scene was that?

A child with beautiful blond hair, half of his body was hidden in the shadows.

A layer of black dust fell on the blond hair under the light, which instantly darkened the golden hair color by several degrees.

Surrounded by corpses of vines piled up together, some of them are still wriggling, while others are beginning to wither.

"Grey? Are you all right?"

Naruto turned his back to him, maybe because of the light problem, the blue eyes seemed to lose their usual brilliance.

When he saw the other eye, Gray reflexively scratched the dust on the floor.

It was a dark red eye with vertical pupils unique to beasts. The blue flames beside it flickered, and the illuminated eyes looked even more monstrous.

He had never seen such a "magic", such an obviously ominous "magic", would not even be easily accepted by any regular guild.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably feel terrified.

However, this was Gray, who was called one of the stupid children by the adults in Fairy Tail, a guy who was as stupid as Natsu.

——Fairy Tail, the guild that likes to make trouble the most.

——But at the same time, it is a guild that regards its companions as the most precious family members.

"you……"

With a dark face, Gray stepped forward tremblingly, and then firmly pressed Naruto's shoulder: "You have hidden your strength!!!"

"Hidden strength! I know!"

"You must be hanging eyes with that bastard to sneak past me!"

"Too cunning!"

"Bastard dwarf!"

Uzumaki Naruto:? ? ? ?

——You are short!

——Why don’t you get eaten!

— The bastard droops his eyes!

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Ming Bao [Quiet gestures to the wall for height]: No, I am not short, I will be 1.8 meters in the future.

Sasuke [Quiet gestures to Naruto's height]: Well, I will be 1.8 meters two in the future.

Ming Bao:? ? ? ?

Sasuke: Also, I have been taller than you since I was a child.

Ming Bao:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The above is a small theater for the relief of cp deficiency

I took a look at the heights of Sasuke and Naruto, basically there is a gap of 2~3 centimeters from childhood to adult hhhh【Applause
