The autumn moon is in the sky, and the stars are retreating.

The wind in the dense forest is getting colder, and the winter breath is approaching.

The yellow leaves on the branches have only been left to breathe, and the moonlight is scattered, like silver, with a chill.

Ye Cang's image looked even worse than when she escaped the ambush of the water shadow, one arm hung limply at her side, the clothes on her chest were also torn, and the red blood was flowing non-stop, dyeing her black clothes black and dazzling.

A tyrannical evil aura overflowed irrepressibly, and a white mark had already scratched the forehead guard in front of Ye Cang's forehead, running through the symbol representing the sand ninja on it.

The pale face was as cold as ice and snow, which made people feel more piercing than the long wind.

"Every time I see you, I'm so embarrassed."

Inuzuka Fang smiled with indescribable connotations, and after looking at each other, a faint enthusiasm was peaceful, as if old friends had met.

"I don't always have time to save you."

Stepping forward, Inuzuka Fang stretched out his hands, and the emerald green chakra appeared, disturbing the silvery white moonlight on the ground.

"Whew~"

Blazing white fireballs emerged from behind and levitated overhead, illuminating Hakura's pale as frosty face. She stared at Inuzuka Fang, pursing her mouth, but warning with her actions.

"Woo~"

Shiramaru bowed her head and bared her teeth to make a sound, she sensed the threat of the woman in front of her.

It's just that her master ignored all this, as if she didn't see the blazing white fireballs that were suspended and could take away her life with a single hit, and the firelight flowed, step by step, calmly and firmly.

Cold eyes watched Inuzuka Fang step forward, watching him put his hand on his wound, watching him begin to concentrate on treating himself, as if he hadn't seen those few suspended fireballs from beginning to end.

"It's really intense, just defected. Where are you going next? ”

Bowing his head, staring intently at the changes in the wounds, watching them change from large to small under the treatment of his own hands, gradually healing and disappearing, Inuzuka's gentle tone is like a full old friend.

Hakura didn't speak, just stared at Inuzuka Fang, staring at his face that kept smiling all the time under the staggering brilliance of the fireball and the silver and white of the moon.

In the distance, the sound of battle on Kikyo Mountain was still the same, and the night wind that came through the intertwined branches of the trees was scorched by the suspended fireball, and it seemed that it was not so cold.

"You are a responsible person, since you dare to defect with your subordinates who are willing to follow you, you must have your own meticulous plan."

The wound on his chest healed, Inuzuka Fang took out the bandage, and wanted to do some necessary bandaging for Ye Cang, but when he saw that she was just looking at him like a cold ice, he didn't mean to cooperate at all, so he simply put the bandage away.

Holding Hakura's soft hanging arm, after groping for a while, Inuzuka Fang turned his back to Hakura, casually folded a few branches, and still spoke alone in a gentle and indifferent tone.

"But I'd better give you a little advice, after all, it's the first time to defect, and the lack of experience is a certainty. Because you make such a fuss, the sand forbearance is in chaos, and defeat has become inevitable. ”

As he spoke, Inuzuka shook his arms and put Hakura's bones back in place.

"In this way, the sand ninja after the defeat can be expected to encircle and suppress you. You don't have much time, and we'll settle the sand shinobi before winter at the latest. So, take your men and go to the Land of Stone. ”

The chakra unique to medical ninjutsu reappeared, promoting the accelerated division of cells and the initial healing of the torn and strained muscles, and Inuzuka lowered his gaze, ignoring the threat of the fireball that was still levitating, and ignoring Hakura's gaze.

"It's still a country of wind, but it's remote enough, safe enough that the desert and the rocks will take refuge for you. And there are no powerful forces there, as for the possible calculation of the land country at that time, I believe that with your talent, it will not be a problem. ”

Using a bandage to fix the treated branch on Hakura's arm, Inuzuka Fang's forehead was already a little sweaty, and he let out a sigh of relief, put down Hakura's arm, he took a few steps back, and finally looked up to meet Hakura's unchanging gaze.

"Woo~"

Shiramaru immediately ran forward and crossed in front of Inuzuka Fang, trying to separate the two people.

She had always clearly felt the threat posed by the woman in front of her.

As a loyal dog, you should not expose your owner to such a threat.

"Why?"

Ignoring Shiramaru, after a long time of staring at each other, Hakura finally opened his mouth to say the first sentence since they met, and the condensed voice was as painful as tearing.

"Just like when you choose to defect, you know that it's not the best way, but don't you hesitate. As for why, I thought of it and did it. There are so many why. ”

"Why?"

The cold voice was hoarse, and the pain was still there.

"Who knows. I saved you because I didn't want Sand Shinobi to concentrate on us, and judging from the current situation, my risk is still worth it. ”

Inuzuka was gentle, stroking Hakumaru's head to calm her restlessness, with a quiet smile in her eyes, as if proud.

Ye Cang was silent, the suspended fireball flowed orange-red flames, and the autumn moon was in the sky, sprinkling silver light all over the heavens and the earth.

There were fallen leaves floating in the long wind, and the leaf barns stood as if frozen, falling into the cold depths.

"Hey~"

The blazing fireball seemed to be no longer hot, and seeing the coldness that emanated more and more from Ye Cang's silence, Inuzuka Fang finally let out a long sigh.

"Maybe it's best not to tell you the truth and not save you. However, there is only hope if you are alive, isn't it? Let's just think my conscience is still beating. This is the last time I will save you, and I will never see you again. ”

Turning around, the wind lifted his clothes, and Inuzuka Fang took the white pill that You was guarding against, and gave the back to Ye Cang, step by step, and disappeared into the darkness.

The fireball was shaking, stupidly as if it was on the bow, watching Inuzuka's back completely disappear from his sight, and Hakura still didn't make a move in the end.

No matter what kind of intention he had in mind to save her at the beginning, but it was still Inuzuka Fang who brought her to the current situation, and Hakura had enough reasons to convince himself to make a move.

It's just that in the end, it's just standing in the autumn wind, stained with cold frost, dissipating the suspended fireball, plunging the world into the night, watching the silver moon flow cold, and the leaves are frozen like sculptures.

"This thing is for you, as a farewell gift."

In the heavy forest, where the shadow of Inuzuka Fang could not be seen, the last words were heard, and a scroll flew in front of him with a whirl.

"Smack!"

Stretched out his hand, took the scroll, and the moment he touched it, he could still feel a little residual warmth, Ye Cang didn't open it, and he didn't put it away, so he held it like this, and finally took a look at the bellflower mountain city, and walked away.

"Shiramaru, do you think I'm sick?"

On the way back, Inuzuka stroked Shiramaru's head, and there was only gloom left in his expression.

said that the two rescues Ye Cang, the picture is to disrupt the arrangement of the sand ninja, but when everything is not bad, there is no excitement in the heart, and some are just not so happy.

obviously changed the fate of Ye Cang's tragedy, but why can't he be happy?

"Woo woo~"

Shiramaru let out a cry and rubbed his head against Inuzuka's face. She wanted to bring some warmth to her host.

"Ma Dan, it's good to become the second group of Sand Ninja, Ganmao wants to defect, and he has to make things so intense and make himself so miserable! Don't you all have brains? I've committed Lao Tzu's moral cleanliness habits,! ”

"Click!"

With a sigh of depression in his heart, Inuzuka Fang flew up and kicked off the trees beside him.

The moon is high in the sky, the silver light is scattered, the earth is covered with frosty cold, the dead leaves are scattered, and the cold night of late autumn and winter is as silent as death.
