Ninja...... It can't be measured by common sense......"

"Uh...... But you're too unreasonable, aren't you? This is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people...... "Naruto almost didn't choke to death.

"Did I say I'm an ordinary person?" Pharmacist Li said lightly.

"Uh...... When I didn't say it...... I'm an ordinary person, I can't understand your thoughts......"

On the road.

"Ah, brother, did you kill that guy just now?"

"No, I was run away......"

"Haha, you're really useless...... Xiao Li and I killed those two guys! Haha, that guy who escaped with water is a real vegetable, and a few shadow clones will make him confused...... A big jade spiral pill killed ......"

"Well, my one is the boss......"

"Don't make excuses if you fail...... Ah, yes, yes, he's so much better than mine! Brother, you are naturally the strongest...... The strongest ......" Naruto wanted to be sarcastic, but when Yakushi Li's surprise "accidentally" crossed in front of his lifeline, Naruto knew what to say......

Just when Yakushi Li took Naruto and Xiao Li, who was awakened by Yakushi Li's ice escape, all the way forward, and found Ning Ji and them according to Yakushi Li's eyes, he found that they were all faced...... Gloomy......

"What's the matter, melancholy. Ah, by the way, what about aster? Naruto said, looking around, and suddenly, Naruto's smile froze.

Aster lay quietly on the ground, motionless, with a lack of vitality than a normal person.

"Stumped... How come?! Naruto was unbelievable.

"I've tried everything, but it's still not working." Sakura said with her head down.

"Ningci!" Naruto rushed in front of Ling Fei, grabbed Ling Fei's shirt with both hands, and roared, "What the hell are you doing, didn't you say you want to protect that guy?" Didn't you say you would never leave Aster? ”

Ning Ci was silent, as if he had nothing to say because he felt guilty in his heart. And Yao Shi Li stood aside lightly, his expression was a little gloomy, but his eyes were still so clear, as if he had not lost hope.

"Why did you follow her and become like this? Say something?! The more Naruto spoke, the more excited he became.

"Shut up!" A figure walked out of the forest, she said indifferently.

"Aster...... This...... What the hell is going on? Naruto was stunned by the figure coming out of the forest, wasn't this person Aster?

"Could it be that the asters are twins, why does this aster look exactly the same as the asters on the ground?" That was Naruto's first thought.

"Why...... Why are there two asters? Xiao Li, who was silent, also asked suspiciously.

"Dead people...... It's Azume, right...... It seems that I used a transformation technique that is the same as mine......" Yakushi Li said lightly, but his voice was a little low.

"Brother Zue?" Naruto suddenly thought of the resolute and unyielding figure.

"When he was separated from us, His Excellency Ashe said that he would go to the ancestral hall by another route just in case, but this is what he meant." Ning Ci said with some admiration.

Sakura saw that Naruto didn't understand yet, so she explained her encounter with Asae and the reason why Asae had become an aster.

"The 'Mirror Transformation Technique' is a secret technique that has been passed down in the country of ghosts, and it can only be used once in a lifetime, and after using it, it can never be changed back."

"I can't stop Asae from becoming an Aster stand-in." Sakura said weakly.

Naruto didn't seem willing to accept Asachi's death yet, and said, "Why didn't you force him back to the village?" And, man, can't you change someone else's future? Why can't you keep Ashiho alive? ”

"To accomplish the mission!" Yao Shi Li said lightly, "Yes, I guessed his determination before...... I didn't stop it, and I couldn't stop it...... Because, if the enemy knows that Shion is still alive, trouble will follow...... If that's the case, we simply can't stop the Sprite from entering the body before he does...... If this happens, it will make the other party let their guard down...... Let's take advantage of it! ”

"Then, you can use your puppet wood clone to make an aster! Why do you have to send Brother Zusui to death? Naruto said.

"No...... pharmacist said lightly, "The enemy is proficient in medical ninjutsu, if it weren't for a real person, he wouldn't be able to deceive them at all......"

"But......" Naruto seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by Ninji

"Naruto, this mission is related to the destruction of the world. It's obvious which is the most priority, Brother Ashiho or the world. ”

Naruto shook his head helplessly, the death of his companion was something that ninjas often encountered. It's just that he's not used to it...... I never want to get used to it!

"I come every year to mourn you." Naruto said with some sadness.

"Asae is a fool." Aster turned her back to everyone and continued in cold blood: "There is no need to mourn the fool who killed himself. ”

"Do you know who he gave his life for?" Naruto was furious. is so emotional, it is an alternative existence among ninjas.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Without waiting for Naruto to finish, Aster turned to Naruto and yelled, looking slightly excited.

"Stop!" Naruto was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Yakushi.

"Let her cry......" Pharmacist Li said lightly.

"What?" Naruto said with some disbelief.

"Who can leave their loved ones without feeling anything at all......" Yakushi Li closed her eyes, "she ...... It's not as cold-blooded as you think, and it's not as strong as it seems......"

"Isn't it dangerous...... Sakura was a little worried.

"Don't worry, the deity has already followed." Pharmacist Li said lightly.

"What?" Just when Naruto was wondering, Yakushi Li beside him suddenly disappeared with a "bang".

"Shadow clone? Yes? Brother, you're one step ahead of me! Oh...... You always see beautiful women...... Ah, I didn't say anything, brother, you are a righteous man......" A bamboo stick was stuck in the tree next to Naruto's cheek, and there were a few words on it:

"That's right......"

In the woods.

"How can anyone not be sad about the death of someone close to them?!" Aster held the trunk of the tree with one hand, bowed her head and sobbed to herself.

"It's not permissible to cry now, it's a blasphemy against those who have died for me so far." After Aster finished speaking, she turned her head and found Yao Shi Li who was slowly walking towards her.

"Foreknowledge is the shrine maiden's ability to protect herself, and when the shrine maiden perceives her death, the shrine maiden's soul will leave the main body, allowing her past self to see the momentary image of death?? When he died, he saw the figure of someone who served near him. When that person hears the death prediction from the shrine maiden, he will act as a substitute himself, and must think about how to prevent the shrine maiden's death. ”

"This is the shrine maiden's system of foreknowledge. Sacrifice others to survive. Can you understand the feeling? This sense of guilt and powerlessness of sacrificing others for one's own sake? And the feeling of being turned away from hate? Can you? Shion's slender body curled up and squatted on the ground, seemingly hysterically yelling at the medicine man.

"I can...... Of course I can...... Just like my parents back then......" Yakushi Li closed his eyes, and the image that he would never forget for the rest of his life came back to his mind.
