Itachi showed his right hand with a ring with the word "Zhu" on it, and it was softly placed on the placket of his shirt, looking at Iruka indifferently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Damn!" Iruka cursed in his heart, although he put on a fighting posture, although the other party was just standing so casually, he couldn't find a flaw at all, and there was no possibility of attacking at all. The other party is only a young man in his early twenties, but the gap between me and him does not seem to be something that can be bridged by manpower! How ridiculous it is to say that you want to be a shinobi like this!

The accumulation of combat experience allows Iruka to see the gap between himself and Itachi at a glance, but Soma does not recognize this, or rather, does not think of it.

But this also makes Iruka even more desperate, if he can't even raise the hope of fighting, then Soma's kid ......

All of Iruka's thoughts seemed to be on the sidelines of Itachi, and he stepped aside so that Iruka could see behind him.

"Soma!" Iruka cried out loudly, and Soma seemed to be trapped in the mire, swallowing up the swamp little by little.

Iruka immediately ran in the direction of Soma, but Itachi didn't stop him, but just glanced again in the direction he had come from.

Iruka, who had been cautiously watching Itachi's every move, naturally took a look.

This look is another surprise.

"Yoyo?!" At a glance, what I saw was Youyou, who was tied hand and foot and thrown into the quagmire, and when I saw his gaze, I responded with a helpless wry smile.

"What? How could that be ......" Iruka hesitated and muttered to herself, "Will Yoyo be caught too?" That's just ......."

"You're using illusion!" Iruka turned angrily and yelled at Itachi.

"Why do you think it's an illusion?" Itachi has a good time.

"With that level of rope, do you want to trap Yoyo? You can't help but think of her too simply! ”

"Really?" Itachi's face remained unchanged, and a kunai slipped out from the bottom of his sleeve, and the edge pointed directly at the woman's neck.

"If you say it's an illusion, then why don't you gamble?"

Iruka faltered, but Yoyo only smiled wryly and didn't make a sound.

Itachi's left hand shook, and the kunai flew past the side of Yoyo's neck, and a clear trail of blood flowed out from under the tip of the blade.

The woman's expression was cold, only a pair of eyebrows twitched slightly, and her lips pursed slightly.

That's right, it's Yoyo!

This expression is so familiar!

This pretense is strong, this pretense is nothing, and if illusion can be imitated, it is incredible!

"Stop!" Iruka shouted.

"Why, do you admit it's not an illusion?" Itachi's fingers flicked, retracting the kunai attached to Thorth.

Yoyo finally spoke: "Iruka, leave me alone, go save Soma, don't worry, I can't die!" The pleading look was so genuine that it was impossible to refuse.

"But ......" Iruka still hesitated, and although it didn't seem to be in danger at the moment, in fact, Yoyo's body was sinking extremely slowly.

"Go ......!" The woman was a little anxious.

"Choose, out of two, you can only save one." Itachi said, lifting the kunai in his hand again.

Iruka weighed the pros and cons.

If you want to save Yoyo, you have to pass the Itachi level first, not to mention whether you can get by, even if you really pass, save Yoyo, with Soma's current sinking speed, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive that time! If we go and rescue Soma first, and then work together to deal with Itachi, maybe it will be more convenient, after all, we are only here to save people, not to kill enemies.

Thinking of this, Iruka did not delay any longer, turned and ran.

"Hmph," the weasel let out a soft grunt, and its figure vanished.

As soon as Irukaf turned around, he found that the situation around him had changed greatly, although Soma was still in the mire, but for some reason, the fire around the quagmire was raging, and it was impossible to pass.

At this time, Soma's chest is only exposed, and the entire body below has been swallowed up by the mire. One of his eyes, right in the direction of Iruka, had no fear in them, only the pain of abandonment.

"Soma!" Iruka cried out with a pang of anxiety and heartache, but Soma ignored it as if he hadn't heard anything.

Time was pressing, and Iruka didn't have time to think about it, so she found a random blister around her to soak her body, and stepped into the fire.

In just a few seconds, the heat wave has dried the clothes, the wet mud has formed a hard lump, tightly bound on the body, and there is a disgusting smell of earth, but fortunately, due to the existence of the soil, the clothes will not burn so easily, but the hair and eyebrows have long been wiped out in the scorching heat.

In this heat, people can't breathe at all, even the air is roasted and distorted, and there is a trance everywhere in the eye, and I don't know if it is the refraction of light or the result of dizziness.

Because it wasn't in the area he had explored, Iruka didn't dare to jump forward at will, because if he wasn't careful, he might also get stuck in the quagmire, and when the time came, he didn't have to think about who would save him.

The previous personnel should have arrived at Longmen Lake soon, right? It's only Yoyo.,It's just that I'll come back to visit because of Soma.。 Iruka thought.

Even though the clothes and exposed parts of the body were covered with mud to the maximum, the extreme heat quickly penetrated the hard shell, making people feel unbearable burning pain.

"Hmm..."Iruka was already covered in sweat, flowing out, and was immediately roasted, that kind of pain, it was no longer possible to vent it by shouting or something, the only thing that could support him to go on was the will.

Finally crossing the sea of fire, and gradually being able to see everything in front of him, Iruka was furious to find that Itachi had stood in front of him again.

"You ......"

Itachi didn't say much, but stood aside a little so that Iruka could see Soma, and at this point only his neck and head were still exposed.

Before he had time to reason with Itachi, Iruka stepped forward and pulled Soma out of the quagmire.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, this mire is a special one capable of devouring chakra...... "Itachi's deep voice sounded.

Yes, otherwise how could Soma fall into it so easily.

Iruka was stunned for a moment, and had already reacted. Along the way, he did find a similar area, and it was with this natural barrier that the country of lakes was able to survive in the cracks of the great powers for so many years, but ......

Since he couldn't get close to Soma's side, Iruka immediately changed her plans and took out the rope from her ninja bag and tied it into a slipknot.

With this action, the mud on his body that had been extremely dry and hard cracked and shattered, revealing the skin that had turned dark red inside, and a strange fragrance evaporated from his body.

Iruka smiled bitterly, like this, I don't know if I can support it enough to go back and save Youyou......

However, his speed is not slow at all, just like demonstrating to students in class, standard and concise, and after a few hits, he has to stand on the edge of the quagmire to save people.

"I didn't allow you to save him—" Itachi's voice rang out.

Iruka's eyes widened as she watched as the rope she threw out was pierced through Kunai and pinned to the ground beside her.

Amazing accuracy, amazing speed, also, amazing, saying.

"Itachi, what do you mean by that?"

"I just said that you can only save one of two people, but I didn't tell you which one you can save, did I?"

"Itachi! Don't go too far! Iruka angrily pulled up her rope and threw it again.

As a result, it's the same......

No matter how hard you try, you can't get past the Itachi's defenses.

"You might as well go back and save that woman, maybe she'll have a way~~" Itachi made such a suggestion.

Iruka looked at Itachi.

Forcibly breaking through, I will never be able to do it now, it seems, there is only one way......

Iruka turned and rushed into the fire again.

There is no time to waste, not to mention, the road has been discovered, and it is only a few leaps in time to pass through.

And the price paid is the half-body clothes, and the color of the skin on the body is a little darker......

Fortunately, Yoyo is still there, and he is still alive.

Although, the ferret is also there.

"Iruka!?" Seeing Iruka's appearance, the woman couldn't help but scream.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll get you up!"

Since you're stopping me from saving Soma, then, Yoyo here, there should be no problem, right?

Iruka didn't hesitate to throw the rope in his hand.

"Whoosh-" The same scene played out again, the difference was that after Soth got up from the kunai, in the process of turning, she left a new wound on the woman's body.

"Ahh Unprepared, Yoyo let out a soft scream, and then held back again.

"What do you mean by that?" Iruka suppressed her anger and tried to get an explanation.

"It's nothing, you've failed, come again."

Iruka clenched the rope in her hand, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Iruka," Yoyo whispered, "if you have to make a choice, you can't regret whatever you choose!" ”

"......," Iruka's heart moved. Yes, for ninjas, there is no such thing as regret, and there is no chance to regret it, because you will never know what the end of the other path will be.

Case......

Iruka threw the rope again.

"Whoosh-" The woman's body was wounded again, but this time she didn't show any pain, but a look of encouragement.

Iruka's hands trembled a little.

Choose...... What the hell should I choose?
