Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 96

At this time, his thinking is still extremely quick.

"Anyway, don't help me. You watch out for the others."

"Okay...then be careful, don't get hurt." Xinyue lowered her head and stepped aside.

Although it was just a subconscious movement, it still surprised Kakashi and the others. This kind of speed at which they can shift positions without anyone noticing is not something ordinary people can do.

Suddenly, I became very curious about the face under the bamboo hat.Judging from the personality and body shape, it seems that the age is almost the same as Sasuke.

Kakashi smiled and turned to Shikamaru.

Xinyue stood not far from them a few meters away, watching Sasuke's battle with full concentration.

The battle lasted for a relatively short period of time, and Sasuke had always had the advantage. With Sharingan's prediction and insight into the enemy's moves, he was able to easily avoid the double attack of Naruto and Sakura.

She knew that Sasuke would not be defeated so easily by these guys from Konoha.

She raised her head triumphantly, now she didn't notice the coming danger at all.

The sun's rays were very hot, and the temperature in the air reached a peak after noon. Just standing still like this, one could feel a steady stream of sweat pouring out of his forehead and then flowing down.

It just so happened that this open space was full of withered trees. The bare trunks didn't have a leaf, so there was no shade at all. The shadows stretched long and far away, and even deformed.

The endless heat is everywhere.

Xinyue wanted to raise her head to wipe the sweat off her face, but at that moment, she discovered a terrible fact.

Her body...can't move.

"What... what's going on!" She whispered in horror.

Not only is her body unable to move freely, but she also can't help doing movements she doesn't want to do. Could it be...

Before he could say it, the young man's lazy voice sounded behind him, "Well... shadow imitation technique, success."

Damn it, it really is a shadow imitation technique.Sasuke had told her before, and Hidan-senpai also got the same spell, so he should have been more vigilant against the guy who performed the spell just now, but he was so careless... I still believed too much that they would not use tricks.

Shikamaru turned around and controlled Xinyue to stand face to face with them.

"You guys are so despicable...you actually took advantage of my inattention..." Xinyue glared at them angrily, but regretting it now is useless.

Sasuke, who was fighting, noticed the situation here, was distracted, and was almost hit by Naruto's spiral pill, but fortunately he jumped high to avoid it at a critical moment.

"New moon..." Sasuke called her name worriedly.

"Leave me alone, concentrate on fighting!" She wanted to turn around, but her neck was terribly stiff, so Xinyue had to turn her back on him and shout.

"Huh... finally caught you." Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, scratching his head, and Xinyue followed him to make the same movement, scratching his head.

"What the hell are you trying to do..."

"Ah... that's nothing... just want you not to get in the way, we're going to bring Sasuke back to Konoha this time..." Shikamaru described their purpose in a leisurely manner.

But Ino Yamanaka seemed not so calm.

First, she was actually with Sasuke whom she likes, and second, her arrogant attitude made her very unhappy, so she quickly pulled out 6 shurikens, three in each hand, and excitedly interrupted Shikamaru's words, "What? Nothing! This guy is a member of Akatsuki, and he also pulled Sasuke-kun into Akatsuki, Akatsuki's people killed Asma-sensei, of course we are going to kill her and bring back Konoha!"

After all, Shikamaru, Kakashi and the others had no time to stop it.

I saw Ino angrily throwing 6 shurikens towards Xinyue.

The six shurikens flew straight towards the crescent moon, and the "swish" sound made by friction with the air was sharp and piercing.

Carefully distinguish the trajectory of the shuriken, hehe...they are all flying towards her vitals.One last glance at the culprit, the blonde girl, well, she has the same beautiful hair as her own, but the color is lighter.

At what time is he still in the mood to look at the person who killed him... I thought so in my heart, but on the one hand, I really wanted to remember her so that I could seek revenge on her after becoming a ghost.I have to admit that women can lose their minds because of their feelings.

Eh?Who said this...

It seems that no one has said it, but I thought of it unconsciously.

Xinyue sighed and closed her eyes.I never thought that I would be so calm and unhurried in the face of death, and I admire my courage.

However, the expected pain did not come as expected.

She just felt as if her body was suddenly hugged by someone, a burst of warmth, and then, a muffled groan of pain entered her ears.

Such a familiar smell... The smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger.It seems to be... the smell of blood... Subconsciously, he raised his hand to wrap around the back of the person who was holding him, and felt a stream of viscous liquid.

The fishy and sweet breath immediately permeated the entire nasal cavity.

Stimulating the nerves in her brain, she had a hallucination for a moment, as if the surroundings turned into an endless white, only the bright red blood blurred her vision, and the white gradually turned into a blood red.

Silence, stillness, suffocation.

After a long, long time, on the empty battlefield, a mournful cry with a crying voice suddenly sounded.

"Sasuke..." Simultaneously with her scream, there were shouts from Sakura and Ino.

Of the six shurikens, five hit Sasuke's back, while the other one was slightly deflected due to the collision in mid-air, but was blocked by Sasuke's arm, but still missed Xinyue.

Looking out from the gap in the bamboo hat, there was no blood on the handsome face that was close at hand.

He opened his scarlet eyes, the color was as bright as blood... But at this moment, his face was set off even weaker, as if it would disappear at any time.

Xinyue tried her best to hold his body that fell powerlessly, her face was full of panic.

"You...are you stupid...you...why...why..." The arm supporting Sasuke gradually lost strength and became sore, she could only follow Sasuke's falling motion and sit on the ground, Looking at the shocking wound on his back, tears finally fell down.

Why are you so stupid... Didn't I tell you to concentrate on fighting... Why did you rush to protect me... You idiot.

"Uh...you...do you still remember the name I called you the first time I saw you..." Sasuke's voice trembled, as if he was struggling to speak with pain.

Xinyue nodded vigorously, wiping away the tears hanging on her face, although new ones would continue to fall down, "I remember, I remember...that name...your name is Huajing..."

"Three years ago... during the Chunin exam, she also saved us in the same way." Sasuke's lips curled up slightly, as if he was immersed in the good memories of the past, and he couldn't help but have such an expression.
