Chapter 7: The Ninja and the Princess

"Humph! It's all this time, don't you give up? ”

The black-clothed ninja who flew in the sky with Chakra's wings had a hideous aura.

Behind him, a strange chakra torrent erupted, condensing into a huge creature similar to a dragon.

The chakra dragon, condensed from the chakra entity, bared its teeth and grinned, exuding an evil and uncomfortable aura.

"Die!"

The Chakra Dragon obeyed the command of the black-clothed ninja, and his body seemed to be able to be stretched infinitely, swooping down from the sky and charging at the moving body of the Red Shadow.

The impact was so strong that the ground was completely destroyed in an instant.

Red Shadow hugged the girl in her arms and dodged very reluctantly.

The body injured by the detonator can only be driven by willpower.

To be honest, it's not a wise move to fight a powerful ninja with a burden.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let this cumbersome princess leave first to avoid being involved in such a dangerous battle.

It's just that this also has to consider the actual situation at the moment, the enemy has a flying ninjutsu, and he can completely ignore his containment, directly attack the hostage, and threaten him.

For him, once this burdensome princess died, it would undoubtedly mean that the mission had failed.

It will also cause a huge obstacle to the expansion plan of the Oni Country.

Therefore, let this cumbersome princess stay by his side all the time to protect his safety.

Just because the enemy's target is actually him, you can't naively think that the enemy won't attack this cumbersome princess.

Princess Zhuji, who was hugged up, naturally didn't dare to breathe.

Death is so close to you.

It's false to say that you don't feel afraid, but because of the man in front of you, you don't feel lonely.

This kind of desperate protection is also the first time in my life to taste it.

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too incompetent.

In this case, I can't do anything.

If I could help a ninja-sama as well...... Princess Zhuji thought so, but then shook her head, she couldn't do it.

Ninjas were a completely unfamiliar domain to her.

Although she was born in a noble family, her strength is no different from that of ordinary people, and because of her pampering, she may be even weaker than ordinary women.

In the face of such a powerful armed collective as ninjas, her strength is so insignificant.

At this time, honestly obeying the ninja's arrangement and not causing chaos is what she should do at this time.

"Even if this kid is injured, he is still so fast......"

The black-clad ninja flying in the sky was amazed by the speed at which Akakage could run up on the sand, and if it was a normal foot, it was estimated that he would be hung far behind Akakage.

Even with flying ninjutsu, it is not easy to pursue Akakage.

"But with so much blood loss, how long can you last?"

The black-clothed ninja sneered in a low voice.

Most of Red Shadow's body was bleeding, especially from his chest and head, and the blood loss was especially severe.

If the human body loses more than 30% of the total amount of blood at one time, it will be life-threatening.

Even if a ninja's physique is stronger than that of ordinary people, and the loss of 30% of the blood will not be life-threatening, but the physical ability will definitely be greatly reduced.

If you continue to lose blood, it will be fatal.

The safest way to do this is to attack from the sky, so that Red Shadow can't stop to recover from his injuries, and further deplete his few stamina.

As long as the red shadow loses blood to a certain extent, he can win this battle unscathed, and it takes no effort to get it.

It would never be wise to venture into a ninja with a Blood Limit or a seriously injured Blood Limit Ninja.

Many of the ninja's abilities are reflected in surprise, and he doesn't know if Akakage has a ninjutsu of Jedi counter-killing.

In short, if you are invincible in the sky, you don't need to go out of your way to risk it in close quarters for the sake of a battle that is scheduled to win.

Red Shadow also knew his own situation, but at this time, it was impossible for him to turn around and fight the black-clothed ninja to the death, because it would definitely be him who was defeated.

He doesn't have the ability to target a flying-type ninja, and this piece is his ability blind spot.

Moreover, his own blood inheritance limit ability, it is likely that the information has been leaked.

On the way from the capital of the bear country to here, he was constantly watched by the other party from the sky.

The other party has been consuming chakra to fly in the air, obviously also fearing his blood inheritance limit ability.

I don't know what the ability of a Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja is, it is very unwise to fight rashly, and the other party is very cautious at this point, and he is definitely a ninja with rich combat experience.

The judgment of the situation is very clear.

For such a careful and cautious ninja, it is impossible to get him close by agitation, and then kill him in one fell swoop.

Before that, he had to deal with the wounds on his body.

If he continues like this, sooner or later he will die of blood loss.

Even though a ninja's physique is different from that of ordinary people, they are flesh and blood, and they will die if they lose too much blood in battle.

Moreover, the explosion of the detonator at the beginning not only caused him to lose too much blood, but also the bones in his body seemed to be shattered.

It's not surprising when I fall.

Blood flowed down his head and into his eyes, causing Red Shadow to blink uncomfortably, trying to get the blood out of his eyes.

Before he could wipe the blood from his face with his other empty hand, the palm of his hand, which had been white and tender, gently wiped his face with the sleeve of his coat, wiping the blood there, but also staining the beautiful and expensive clothes.

Red Shadow glanced at the princess, intentionally or unintentionally.

I thought that even if it was a burden, it seemed to have some effect.

Speaking of which, it's because he has affected this princess.

The enemy's target was him at first, and the woman was just an innocent hostage who was involved.

Whether from the perspective of task or responsibility, I can't give up this woman and let her fend for herself here.

The other party was so careful to help him wipe the blood on his face, it was probably very similar to coming up to help.

But as a weak woman, she can only do it to this extent.

"Shinobi, ninja-sama......"

Princess Zhuhime's panting voice sounded in her ears, sounding very urgent and worried.

Red Shadow didn't answer anything, not that he didn't want to answer, but that he couldn't.

At this time, he needs to save his physical strength as much as possible, and any nonsense may cause his physical strength to drain quickly little by little.

But, come on, remember the front. Red Shadow looked ahead, a hint of hope in his eyes.

Ahead was a huge canyon shrouded in yellowish mist.

That's what Jigokudani is.

A natural canyon built around the country of bears, the valley is home to a poison that is deadly to the human body all year round, and is a place of death that even ninjas dare not set foot in easily.

But for Red Shadow, it was undoubtedly the only place where he could live.

"In the bag, blue, antidote."

Keep your words as concise and clear as possible.

If you say one more word, you will lose one more point of physical strength.

Now is not the time to relax.

In the bag, the antidote? Princess Zhu Ji was only stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this sentence was addressed to her.

Instead of being dissatisfied with Red Shadow's cold attitude, he felt that he was being needed, which seemed to be a very happy thing.

Soon, Princess Suhime reached out and touched Akakage's ninja bag.

It was clear that there was an explosion, but the ninja was not damaged at all, obviously due to the special material.

Princess Zhu Ji rummaged inside, and although the space of the ninja bag was small, many items were neatly categorized.

Kunai, shuriken, scrolls, medicines, squeezing every space of the ninja bag as much as possible, but it doesn't seem crowded.

Quickly found the medicine that Red Shadow was talking about, a small glass bottle containing more than a dozen blue capsule-type pills.

"One pill per person, hurry up."

"Oh, oh, got it."

Without hesitation, Princess Zhuhime took one of them and gave it to Red Shadow.

Red Shadow crushed the blue capsule with her teeth, absorbing the capsule's medicinal power.

This is a highly effective antidote secretly developed by the Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company, which can target most poisons in the ninja world, including the highly toxic miasma of Hell Valley.

If he and Princess Juhime don't take this antidote, they will be poisoned and die in less than a moment after entering the Valley of Hell.

Princess Zhu Ji also gave herself a pill, the shell of the capsule was very sweet, like candy, but it quickly became very bitter, making Princess Zhu Ji frown.

"Huh?"

The black-clothed ninja who was watching all this in the sky glanced at the huge canyon shrouded in yellow fog in front of him, and seemed to guess something, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

Don't let the other party escape into Hell Valley.

Entering such a place, even wearing a gas mask, it is difficult to protect against the highly toxic fog there.

"Ninja-sama, he's rushing over!"

Princess Sukihime saw the black-clothed ninja in the sky rushing down quickly, her face turned pale, and she screamed in panic.

Hell Valley is just around the corner, and Red Shadow naturally doesn't want to waste all his efforts.

However, he had to concentrate on his journey now, his body was not enough to deal with this powerful black-clad ninja.

"There's a little white ball in your backpack, press the button and throw it out!"

At this time, I can only rely on this cumbersome princess.

At this time, he had to conserve his physical strength and rush into Hell Valley in one breath in order to shake off the pursuit.

White Ball ...... White Ball ...... Princess Zhuhime took a quick glance in Red Shadow's ninja bag, and at once saw four or five strange smooth white balls with an obvious red button on them.

Princess Zhuji took out one of the small white balls, pressed the red button on it according to Red Shadow's order, and threw it with all her might.

Actually, it didn't throw far, but the distance was enough.

The small white ball, which was pressed the button, bumped and rolled on the ground for several meters, and exploded with a bang.

The black-clothed ninja was hit by the blast below, and Chakra's wings were also damaged, and his body twisted and crooked, and it was difficult to stabilize his body in the air.

The power of the white orb explosion is far greater than that of the ordinary detonator.

It is a simple and efficient assassination-type ninja that Red Shadow usually uses to carry out assassination missions.

Although the process is not so perfect and hidden, as long as the target is cleared, even if the way is a little ostentatious, it is worthy of being a top-notch assassination-type ninja.

When Princess Zhuji saw that she threw the small white ball, she immediately blew up a large crater in the ground, and her ruddy little mouth opened slightly.

What she felt in her heart was not fear, but an inexplicable sense of stimulation.

It was the first time she had come into contact with such an exciting and nervous toy.

As long as there is such an explosive ball, the enemy will not dare to approach it again with excessive arrogance.

After all, this is not like a detonation charm, which requires a kunai to be tied up to throw it remotely, and it also requires professional skills.

And this kind of explosive ball, which even ordinary people can easily use, can be thrown far away to avoid being affected by themselves.

The surrounding horizon began to shift, turning into a thick yellow world.

The thick fog makes it difficult to tell the direction at first place.

Red Shadow took Zhu Ji and officially stepped into the confines of Jigokudani.

There is a natural poisonous fog as a barrier, and the thick fog can blur the vision, and the smell of decay in the air will also eliminate the smell on their bodies.

Princess Juhime coughed and seemed to want to vomit.

The smell was too irritating for her.

The smell is hard to describe in words, and it is possible to smoke people alive and dead.

Red Shadow felt that it was normal, and that Hell Valley was buried with countless corpses that had not been cremated, and these rotting corpses were mixed with the chakras of nature to form a unique natural Jedi like Hell Valley.

The spread of the poisonous miasma is indeed a little stimulating for a pampered princess like Zhu Ji.

But now is not the time to care about such things.

He is now seriously injured and in urgent need of recuperation.

But it can't be relaxed yet, this is only the outer edge of Hell Valley, and the enemy is likely to attack from the outside. Therefore, Red Shadow did not stop here, holding Zhu Ji and continuing to go deeper into the depths of Hell Valley.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when he found a sunken rock formation, that Red Shadow stopped here.

Putting down Princess Zhuji, who had a slightly ruddy face in her arms, the red image was like the whole person falling apart, and sat down with her back against the rock wall, panting heavily, her face pale and not like a living person.

"Ninja-sama, are you alright?"

Princess Zhuji trotted over and asked with a concerned expression.

Red Shadow shook his head, didn't speak, and took out a scroll from his ninja bag and spread it on the ground.

Then he connected with both hands, and a silver box made of metal appeared, and when he opened the silver box, there were medical appliances stored inside, although the number was small, but the types were relatively complete, which could be used for emergencies.

Red Shadow took out a roll of medical bandages from inside, which had a good hemostatic effect.

"I'll do it."

Princess Zhu Ji volunteered.

In the past, she has treated some injured small animals and knows a little about pharmacology.

Red Shadow hesitated for a moment, but nodded considering his current situation.

Uncover the blood-soaked ninja suit on the upper part of the body, and the wounds on it that have been injured by the detonator have begun to scab, but there are still many places where blood continues to seep.

Princess Zhuji gently covered her lips, the wound on it was shocking, but thinking that the red shadow had suffered such a heavy blow, it was all because of herself, so she finally gritted her teeth, suppressed the fear in her heart, tore off the medical bandage, and carefully bandaged the wound.

It can be seen that her technique is a little jerky, and she has had the experience of bandaging the wounds of animals in the past, but it is the first time to bandage the wounds of people, especially a topless man.

Princess Zhuji, who had never seen a male body, was naturally apprehensive in her heart, and she was also a little ashamed, and her face was flushed.

It took more than ten minutes to intermittently bandage the wounds on Red Shadow's body.

The flush on Princess Zhuji's face decreased slightly, and her dark eyes also showed a distressed color.

This is a small reward for yourself.

"Ninja-sama, what's next?"

Princess Zhuji wiped the sweat from her face, but there were no words from the Red Shadow.

"Ninja-sama?"

Princess Zhuji turned her head to look, only to see that the red shadow was pale from prostration, and she passed out with her back against the rock wall, looking extremely weak.

The breath is very faint, and then it can be life-threatening.

Princess Zhu Ji is naturally very clear about this.

Excessive blood loss causes the body to stop functioning.

She quickly looked at the medical kit, which contained infusion tubes and bottles, as well as a sealed blood packet.

Princess Zhuhime, who knew some medical science, naturally understood the use of these medical supplies, so she did not hesitate to start tearing open the blood bag and giving Red Shadow a blood transfusion.

Soon, the blood in the blood bag ran out, and the color on Red Shadow's face still looked pale and angry.

This blood bag can only solve the urgent need, and Princess Zhuji is distressed by this.

Blood...... Where to find fresh blood?

This is not a human town, where would anyone come and donate blood?

Hell Valley is littered with human and animal bones, piled up in a mountain.

Eventually, Princess Zhuhime had a flash of inspiration in her mind and thought of a way to save Red Shadow.

……

I don't know how long I was in the dark, and the consciousness in my head was very dizzy, and I always felt that my body was both cold and warm, and something was pressing on me, and I was almost out of breath.

It became extremely difficult to open his eyes, but Red Shadow used her willpower to open her eyelids, and it was only after a few minutes that her vision began to return to normal.

At the first glance when my vision returned to normal, I saw a beautiful face close at hand, stained with some dust, but it was still visible as a beautiful girl.

The other party's whole person seemed to be hanging on himself, his face was slightly pale, and he could hear the sound of sleeping breathing very clearly.

Her expensive coat was taken off from her body and covered his body, wearing only a white undergarment, which was slightly thin.

“……”

Akakage's first thought was to push Princess Zhuhime, who was hugging him, away, but as a result, his body couldn't exert any strength at all, and just opening his eyelids was already a lot of effort.

It seems that she also felt the slight body movement of the red shadow, and Princess Zhuji woke up from her slumber.

"Ninja-sama, are you awake?"

Sitting up, Princess Zhuji also felt that her posture just now was too ambiguous, so her face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly explained again:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm looking at Lord Ninja, your body is too cold, that's why it's like that......"

“……”

I don't want to talk, I'm tired of communicating with this princess.

He still has to recover his strength as soon as possible, and now he doesn't know how long he has been unconscious, whether the enemy has found him.

Even if you escape into Hell Valley, there is no guarantee that you will be out of danger and you can recuperate here with peace of mind.

Since the other party's purpose is him, it is impossible to let go of such an opportunity to kill him.

"Ninja-sama, is your body still cold?"

Princess Zhu Ji asked with concern in the blink of her bright eyes.

“……”

Instead of answering, Akakage rolled her eyeballs, staring carefully at her surroundings.

In addition to the rotting bones of animals and humans, only the tall rock walls that loom in the yellow fog turn this place into a Jedi.

Seeing that the red shadow ignored herself, Princess Zhuhime was not discouraged.

After all, the ninja-sama who got serious was really handsome and had a man's taste.

The stories in the books I've read before don't seem to be all.

If the future husband is a person like Ninja-sama, it doesn't seem to be difficult to accept.

But how is this possible?

The other party was just a small guard under her father, and even if he was strong, he could not exceed the duty of a courtier.

In terms of identity, they are not people of the same world.

Unless...... Elope!

Princess Zhuhime was breathing heavily, and this seemed to be the only way to go.

And now that she has escaped from the capital of the Bear Country, the conditions seem to have been made.

However, would the ninja-sama be willing to elope with her? Do you think she's a frivolous and promiscuous girl?

Where do you want to live after elopement?

How many children should I have in the future?

These questions are so profound and complex.

Just as Princess Zhuhime was thinking about these life events, a sudden movement interrupted her thoughts, and Red Shadow also turned her head and stared at the depths of the yellow fog in front of her with a wary gaze.

A tall figure blurred into the yellow mist.

As the footsteps got closer, the figure became clearer.

Soon, the figure came out of the yellow mist.

The body is tall and strong, the face is ordinary, and the body is also a simple and simple coarse linen clothes, the nails are a little cracked, and the calluses on the hands are very thick.

It seems that he is just a farmer with a hard life and an authentic life.

Seeing this person, Red Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.

This man is the ugly cow.

One of the spy agents of the Oni no Kuni military.

However, unlike the business that you are responsible for, the other party is responsible for the communication and assistance business.

Seeing the relaxed expression on Akakage's face, Princess Sukime also knew that this man was not an enemy, but should be a companion of the ninja-sama.

However, this person has not been seen in the mansion.

But then I thought about it, there were too many ninjas who followed my father, and I couldn't know every single one.

The ugly cow stood there and stopped, and saw that the injured body of the red shadow was covered with the cloak of Princess Zhuhime, and as a princess, Zhuhime was just wearing a thin white undershirt, like an obedient little wife sitting there to take care of her, and her face couldn't help but become weird.

I always feel as if I've come at a bad time.

The ugly cow was about to say something, but Red Shadow had already spoken first:

"You don't have to worry about this, I know the rules of our profession, and I won't get into the bad habits that hinder my mission."

This means that he has no interest in women.

The ugly cow probably wants to warn himself about such a thing, not to fall into the gentle country of women.

Hmph, I really underestimated that he wanted to follow the will of that adult.

However, the ugly cow shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. I just want to tell you that there are too few precious resources in this world, and the key is to start quickly with high-quality resources, so as not to regret it later. ”

He preached in the tone of a man who had come before.

The country of demons is vigorously encouraging fertility, and if a good ninja like Red Shadow remains single and does not pass on his blood inheritance limit, it is a serious waste of blood inheritance limit resources.

“?”

Princess Suhime listened to the brainless conversation between the ugly cow and the red shadow, and always felt that the two ninja adults were talking about something very amazing.

Is this the professional speech that only ninjas have, it's amazing!
