[Hokage] Naruko Haze

The instinctive horror of accelerating the fall made Naruko's heart almost stop beating, the muscles all over his body were tense, and his brain was unprecedentedly sober.

Naruko forgot about the trial, even forgot to breathe, leaving only one thought.

Don't want to die.

don't want to die! !

As if being hit hard on the head, Naruko's eyes went black, followed by glaring white light.She blinked her eyes, time and space seemed to be frozen, and the suffocating feeling of falling disappeared.

here is?

In an unfamiliar space, there is water under the feet, and a corridor in front of the eyes, with rooms on both sides, and pipes of different thicknesses meandering on the ceiling, turning to the unknown at the end.

No light source, but not dark.

Naruko felt the call of a familiar force, she raised her foot and walked over there.There was the sound of turbulent water and the faint sound of wind.She walked into a room and saw a huge and ornate gate with railings, and a note with the word "seal" was pasted at the seam.Behind the railing, there was a bottomless darkness, with a pair of long and narrow animal pupils faintly revealing, glowing red, as if just blowing a breath could ignite the sky full of flames.

The moment they looked at each other, their souls were almost sucked away.

"Girl, come here."

The deep voice, like thunder rolling in summer, filled the sky and fields, no one knew where it came from.

Naruko stepped forward.A sharp claw rushed out from the gap in the railing, hovering over the tip of her nose, Naruko was startled, and could not help but take a step back.

"What a big claw!" She admired sincerely, "As expected of Nine Tails!"

Seemingly surprised by Naruko's answer, Kyuubi withdrew his paw unwillingly, and asked solemnly, "Girl... what are you doing here?"

When hearing this question, many images flashed through Naruko's mind.

The gazes of the villagers, Sasuke's back, Shiro's smile, Hinata's blood...all merged into one sentence:

"I want to be stronger."

"So I asked the old man for something." Nine tails laughed. "It's not free."

"It's okay!" Naruko said seriously, "You can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future!"

"Hahaha!" Nine Tails laughed loudly, his teeth glowing with a frightening coldness. "Interesting! Then I will give you some strength. Girl, remember what you said!"

Naruko woke up suddenly.Kyuubi's laughter seemed to be still lingering in his ears, accompanied by a sense of panic falling rapidly.If she didn't think of a way, she fell to her death!Naruko hastily bit her thumb and pressed down with all her strength.

"Spirituality!"

With a bang, something came out, and Naruko bumped into it, feeling soft, cool, good to the touch, elastic, and a little sticky.

Naruko propped himself up, opened his eyes and saw, it turned out to be a toad!so big!A mighty toad with clothes on and a pipe in his mouth!

It's not a tadpole anymore!Naruko laughed out loud, tears streaming down her face, she let out a burst of energy, and collapsed on Toad's back again.

"Great, I succeeded!"

"Hey! Girl! What are you doing on my head?" The big toad puffed up its round green eyes, shining brightly, "Where is this? Where is that old pervert from Ziraiya?"

"Master is up there." Naruko pointed upwards. "I summoned you with spiritism, thank you for saving me!"

"You? Call me Toad Bunta? Hahaha..." The big toad opened its mouth and laughed loudly. Naruko almost fell down with a somersault, and hurriedly grabbed the pimple on the big toad's skin.

"What's so funny! I was the one who summoned—uh!"

The big toad jumped up.Naruko was caught off guard, and slammed her face hard against the soft but tough skin.

"A little girl like you still calls me and dares to stand on top of me! Ha! Let me see what you are capable of!"

Naruko condensed all the remaining chakra in her hands, and attached herself to the big toad, trying her best not to fall off.This toad seemed determined to throw Naruko off, it jumped hundreds or thousands of times.

When going up, the arm is almost pulled out of its dislocation.

When going down, the whole person almost flew off.

However, I will never fall!

These were the last thoughts of the unconscious Naruko.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed, sore all over.

I seem to have been sent to the hospital by the toad, I don't know if he is convinced.Naruko thought about it, and when she heard some movement in her ears, she turned her head and saw the person sitting by the bed reading a book, she was surprised and delighted: "Shikamaru?!"

Shikamaru was startled, the book in his hand fell to the ground, he hurriedly made a silent gesture, and picked up the book.

"Naruko, this is a hospital. Keep your voice down."

"How...how could it be you..."

"Hey, don't blush." ​​Shikamaru hurriedly explained: "I'm here to see Choji. Just now, Sakura has something to go back, please let me take care of you. What did you train? You passed out for three days!"

"Haha, secret weapon!" Naruko smiled and said, "By the way, how are Hinata and Xiao Li?"

"Hinata has been discharged from the hospital. If Xiao Li, go and see him."

In the preliminaries, Xiao Li was almost killed by Gaara.

When the sand was flying, the smell of blood ran across everyone's skin.

Under the blood-red word "Love", there is an unmoving cruelty.

The corridor of the hospital was full of ominous atmosphere, Naruko and Shikamaru looked at each other.

In front was Xiao Li's ward, which exuded a strong murderous aura, without any intention of hiding it.

The two rushed in, and what appeared in front of them was Xiao Li, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and Gaara, who was standing beside the bed, with the sand flying up like a sharp knife.

Simultaneously with Naruko swinging his fist, Shikamaru activated the shadow hold technique.As a result, when Naruko hit Gaara, Shikamaru also screamed in pain, complaining: "He has already been hit by me, if you hit him, I will also be beaten!"

Naruko smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect your shadow hold technique to be so fast, faster than my fist."

Shikamaru rubbed his face and said cautiously: "Of course, I am better than the tail of the crane anyway. Don't be impulsive, let's find a way together."

Gaara looked at them coldly, and Sand stopped moving.Seeing Gaara like this, Naruko frowned and asked, "What do you want to do to Xiao Li in the middle of the night!"

Gaara replied calmly, "To kill him."

While maintaining the immobilization technique, Shikamaru asked: "Haven't you already defeated him, do you have any trouble with him?"

"There is no festival." Gaara said without emotion: "I came here only to want his life. If you don't get out of the way, I will want your life."

Kazurin Shikamaru said, "We are not weak. We had one hand in the preliminaries. You'd better give up. Now it's two-on-one!"

"I'll say it again." Gaara's eyes were full of killing intent. "Get out of the way, or you will die!"

"Why?" Naruko couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Why do you want other people's lives? Isn't 'love' engraved on your forehead?"

"Huh, 'love'? Only loving yourself, fighting only for yourself, is the meaning of this word." As if Naruko's question reminded Gaara of something, he continued: "In order to make me the most A strong ninja, my father attached the incarnation of the sand, Shokuru, to me. So from the moment I was born, I took the life of a woman named mother."

"Possession! It's a ninjutsu planted before birth!" Shikamaru was taken aback, "Doing this kind of thing to family members!"

"Family? It's just the walking dead connected by hatred and killing." Gaara sneered: "My father is Kazekage. In order to give Sand Ninja Village strong power, he turned me into a monster. I am six years old At that time, it was judged that I was a dangerous product, and from then to now, for six years, the assassination of me has not stopped!"

There was strong hatred in Gaara's eyes, even the shadow hold technique couldn't restrain his body trembling.

"Why should I exist, why should I live? I've thought about it for a long time, but I can't find the answer. However, to live, there must always be a reason, otherwise it will be the same as dying."

That's right... Naruko clenched her fist unconsciously.The boy's words had a magical power that penetrated into her heart.

"This 'love' is my conclusion. I only love myself, and others exist only to be killed by myself. Every time I think of this, I feel a burst of relief...When I kill them, I can feel...I, I'm still alive, I won't disappear..."

For some reason, Naruko's hostility towards the young man in front of him faded a lot.She could understand him and understand what he meant.However, looking at the young man's eyes, those lonely green eyes with bloodthirsty red light like a beast, even if he can understand him, what can Naruko say?

Love?How distant and illusory, Naruko doesn't understand the meaning of this word.What she feels the most is indifference and disgust.

Teacher Iruka made Naruko feel warm, but Naruko didn't know if it was love.But if there is no Iruka-sensei, she might be the same as Gaara.

to kill.Use the Kunai who taught how to use Konoha in his hand to kill those who hate him...

"Naruko, what's wrong with you!" Seeing Naruko who was trembling constantly, Shikamaru asked worriedly.

Naruko forced a smile: "It's nothing..."

"I hate the way you look at me." Gaara said suddenly, he stared at Naruko, his eyes were bloodshot, the sand was twisted and raised in clusters, and he slowly leaned towards Naruko, Shikamaru was startled and hurriedly tightened his control, Gaara didn't care about him, stared at Naruko, the expression on his face began to distort, as if he was stimulated by something.

"A look that seems to know me very well! What do you know, what are you, how can you know my pain!"

But this kind of Gaara doesn't make Naruko feel scared or terrified, she just feels sad, for herself and for the other party, a sense of powerlessness so strong that she wants to cry.

The situation was on the verge of breaking out, and at the critical moment, a loud shout stopped the three of them: "Stop!"

A strong sense of oppression came from the door, and Kai stood at the door with a rare sternness, and those thick eyebrows were not funny at all at this moment.

"Tomorrow is the official match, don't be in such a hurry. Or do you want to lie here early?"

Gaara silently estimated Xia Kai's strength, reluctantly took back the sand, turned around and left: "Forget it, you will all die in my hands sooner or later!"

The atmosphere in the ward finally relaxed, and Naruko took a breath, the look in his heart at the boy was unforgettable.She didn't listen to a word of Kai's nagging, but just nodded, and finally went back to the dormitory restlessly.

I love Luo, I only love my own Shura...

Naruko lay on the bed, raised her thin hands, and slowly put her arms around her immature shoulders.

No one loves yourself, just hug yourself and spend the night.

The next day, Shinobi Village was very lively, and daimyos from various countries came.An atmosphere of tension and anticipation pervades Konoha Village.

Naruko, who didn't sleep well all night, walked towards the examination room with her head down.

"Naruko!" Hinata walked a few steps beside Naruko, seeing that she was not in a good mood, she asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Hinata, you're fine. I'm fine... just... I... I'm just trying to be brave." Naruko smiled wryly, feeling Hinata's focused eyes, and couldn't help saying: "Hinata, I'm actually I really haven’t won a few times, and I always fail. I have been a crane tail in school for several years, and I have always been protected when I go out on missions. Since I was a child, no one likes me except Mr. Iruka... like this my..."

"Naruko! Don't say that." Hinata held Naruko's hand, her big white eyes were full of seriousness. "If you fail, don't be discouraged, and keep getting up is the real strength, Naruko, you are like this! And..." Hinata smiled a little shyly, "I, I have liked you since I was a child! Naruko sparkled Liang, I believe that more and more people will like you in the future!"

"Thank you, Hinata." The strength and warmth flowed into the heart along the palm, and Naruko also held Hinata's hand tightly, showing a bright smile: "I will persevere to the end!"

at the venue.In the middle is a huge circular arena, surrounded by walls several feet high, and three high platforms stand outside, full of spectators.

Naruko felt all kinds of gazes, she took a deep breath, and stood in the arena with six other candidates, waiting for the exam to start.

Sasuke hasn't come yet.This made Naruko a little worried.What's up with him?Have you recovered from your last injury?If it's the turn of the game but you don't show up, you will be automatically judged as a loser.

But now is not the time to think about it.Naruko stabilized her body and mind, and put Sasuke's affairs aside.

She believed that guy would make it there, and now it was her battle!
