Looking at Ashes who suddenly fell into silence, the smart and clever Naruko understood in an instant that she might have stepped on some thunder, but she didn't know what happened, and she couldn't comfort Ashes, and she didn't dare to go up and apologize to Ashes.

, for fear of stepping on thunder again...

Clara looked at Ashes, who was in a low mood, and sighed softly and said, "She will be fine. If that person is also you, he will not hurt the fire prevention girl. What you have to do now is to recover from your injuries quickly.

Understand the problems within yourself and then find the final king soul."

Taking a deep breath, Ember nodded heavily and said, "Teacher, you are right, and besides, I can't do anything else, so I can only... let's do this for now."

While talking, Hui Jin glanced at the surrounding woods a few times, then turned to Naruko and Sasuke behind him and asked slowly, "I'm here to find you, right..."

Naruko nodded awkwardly and said very embarrassedly, "Well... that's right. After all, Sasuke-kun and I have offended a lot of people in the past three years. They should be here to cause trouble for us."

Sasuke on the side snorted, raised his head, and said coldly to the surrounding woods, "Humph! Get out of here, you little one!"

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the surrounding trees. The next moment, a large group of people wearing ninja uniforms with their faces covered jumped out of the woods and pulled Naruko Sasuke away.

Including Ashes and Clara in the front, they were all surrounded in the middle...

You can't tell where they come from, or where they belong to as ninjas, but you can clearly see the malice in these people.

The leader squinted his eyes and stared at Naruto and Sasuke who were wearing heavy armor. After confirming that they had been surrounded, he said coldly, "Two ghosts in the forest, you are so easy to find! You have messed with me.

There are quite a few people, but...that’s it for now!”

Naruko looked at the leading ninja, curled her lips in disdain and said, "Ho~ So you are here to kill us. How brave you are. It seems like you really don't know how to write the word "death"!"

As if he didn't want to talk nonsense to Naruko and Sasuke anymore, the ninja leader narrowed his eyes, glanced at Ashes and Clara standing in the encirclement, frowned slightly and said, "It's bad luck for you! First of all!

Kill these two people!"

After receiving the order, several ninjas quickly took action and rushed towards the direction of Ashes and Clara~

Clara snorted softly and raised her arm to give them a fire to keep them warm, but before she could raise her arm, she was pressed down by the ashes on the side...

Looking at Ashes in confusion, Clara asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Hui Jin took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm in a bad mood and want to vent my anger. Let me do it..."

Hearing Hui Jin's words, Clara frowned slightly and said softly, "But your injury..."

Looking at Clara who looked worried, Hui Jin chuckled and then shrugged and said, "It's just a bunch of fish, it's not a problem."

After saying this, Hui Jin slowly raised his head, looked at the several ninjas rushing towards him, and glared slightly!

Invisible waves burst out from Ashes' body, without causing any waves. It was as if they didn't exist, sweeping over the bodies of these ninjas...

For an instant, the ninjas who were rushing towards the ashes stopped, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Naruko, who was standing not far away, suddenly retreated as if facing a formidable enemy, jumped back and flew several meters away.

Sasuke, who was startled, looked at Naruko who jumped out and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Naruko didn't respond to him, she just stared at the ashes in front of her, and the heavy armor she wore began to tremble slightly...

In fact, Naruko didn't know what happened. It was the Kyuubi that was sealed in her body. Just after Ashes did something unknown, the Kyuubi that was sealed in Naruko's body seemed to be stimulated by something and went crazy toward her.

Naruko issued a warning!

This is an instinct to avoid harm, an instinct that neither Kyuubi nor Naruko can control...

Sasuke looked at the frightened Naruko, turned his head curiously, and looked at the ashes in front of him...

The group of ninjas rushing towards the ashes and the group of ninjas surrounding them were motionless for some reason, standing there stupidly as if the pause button had been pressed...

Shaking his head gently, Hui Jin sighed and said helplessly, "That's it, let's go, we still have a long way to go." Just as Hui Jin said, it was very easy to defeat this group of people without even warming up.

It doesn't even count.

After saying this, Ashes walked straight forward, bypassing the ninjas who seemed to be frozen in place, and Ashes continued to move forward with Clara...

After finally calming down, Naruko took a deep breath, shook her head and looked around. She looked at the group of ninjas who had surrounded them but were motionless now, and turned to face Sasuke who was not far away.

He asked softly with some horror, "Sasuke-kun, are these people really already..."

Sasuke nodded heavily, took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said in shock, "Ah... He's dead. No one is still alive!"

After saying this, Sasuke took a deep breath, walked slowly to the leading ninja, and carefully looked at the body that was still standing there.

After looking it over, he took a deep breath and turned to Naruko and said calmly, "There are no external injuries or anything abnormal, but he is just... dead."

Kyuubi's voice sounded again, but here Kyuubi's voice was extremely horrified and never as calm as before. "That man is really too dangerous! I can't imagine it. Naruko... it's better to stay away from him..."

"

Naruko took a deep breath and asked Kyuubi curiously, "Grandpa Ash...what exactly did he do?"

Kyuubi sighed deeply and whispered bitterly, "I don't know exactly what he did, but I only know that that man tore the souls of this group of people into pieces in an instant! Their bodies were strictly separated from each other.

Still alive in a sense, but...spiritually dead. What a...terrible monster!"

Naruko took a deep look at the ashes in front of her who were walking slowly and slowly, as if she had returned to the bridge in the Land of Waves. The ashes at that time showed her how cheap life is.

Where it is easily torn apart by ashes...

Although in the past three years since the ashes disappeared, Naruko has seen the death of many people, many of whom she killed with her own hands, but... Naruko felt her heart sink every time she killed someone.

few.

But now, the lives of these ninjas are in Ashes' hands, like flies, being taken away by him easily.

The person in front of me is more terrifying and more indifferent than three years ago...

Three years ago, Ashes would still tell himself what it felt like to kill someone, but now...he didn't care about these people, as if taking their lives was like brushing away the dust on his shoulders. What happened?

What?

Gently gritting her teeth, Naruko took steps to chase Ashes in front, and caught up with Ashes. Naruko looked at the expressionless Ashes, took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Grandpa Ashes,

What happened to you...?"

Hearing Naruko's words, Hui Ji couldn't help but froze. He turned his head and looked at Naruko and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong? I'm not very good..."

Before Naruko could speak, Clara on the side chuckled and said lightly to Naruko, "Little Naruko, maybe I scared you, but there is nothing you can do about it, your Ashes Grandpa

I haven’t been in a good mood lately.”

Naruko frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Hui Jin and Clara and asked with some embarrassment, "Is it because I... said the wrong thing before?"

"It has nothing to do with you, Naruko-chan. It's my own problem. You don't have to worry. But then again...why are you still wearing these ugly armors? Also, what I just said...who are the two ghosts in the forest?

, you and little Sasuke? What on earth did you do?"

Looking at Ashes who had obviously changed the subject, Naruko sighed softly, and then said helplessly, "The armor was left to us by Grandpa Ashes. We wear it all the time for training~"

At this point, Naruko suddenly gave an awkward smile and said, "As for the two ghosts in the forest... It's all Sasuke-kun's fault. In order to train us, we would go out to work as bounty hunters from time to time. Sasuke-kun was very aggressive every time."

Heavy, and the two of us wear this ugly ghost-like armor at all times, so we have this bad reputation. Those people before us... must also be the ones who were guilty of our crimes when we were performing our mission..."

Nodding slightly, Hui Jin said helplessly, "In that case... then take off the armor on your body. I don't want to be harassed by your sinful people along the way... and you don't really need this armor now, right?"

.”

Hearing this, Naruko smiled happily and said, "Yes! I have taken off all the rings left by Grandpa Ashes, but Sasuke-kun still has one, I don't know when I can take it off..."

While talking, Naruko turned her head and said to Sasuke who was following her, "Sasuke-kun, Grandpa Ashes, please let us take off our armor. We can finally take off this ugly and hideous armor."

Looking at the two children who had taken off their armor and grown a lot taller, Hui Jin showed a faint smile and said, "You have really grown up a lot. I don't know if Kushina will recognize you when we go back."

…”

Naruko smiled bitterly and said softly with a nostalgic look on her face, "Yes... I haven't been home for more than three years. I don't know how my parents are doing..."
