"Senior...... It's you. Satomi was slightly surprised, "Didn't you go on another mission?" ”

"It's a long story...... I'll unbind you first. ”

"Okay."

Suddenly, Shimizu found that there was a faint chakra flowing in Satomi's body, and he was surprised: "Your body has recovered?" ”

“…… Don't fall into the hands of the enemy, do nothing. ”

But in this case...... I'm afraid it's harder for the body to recover......

In the dim light, her face looked particularly haggard.

Even the arrival of Qing Shui did not change her negative mental state......

It's a ninja's end of the road......

"Anyone else?"

"No ......"

Satomi chuckled: "I really didn't expect you to appear here, senior." ”

"Thank you." She thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

"I said thank you a little earlier...... We're not out of danger yet. ”

"I'm content."

Shimizu can understand Satomi's sense of despair and powerlessness after being captured, because he has also experienced this kind of taste.

This loss and uneasiness, she must be on her own to truly escape the shroud of these shadows.

So he turned to ask, "...... How did you get on the decoy team? ”

"At that time, we were intercepted by Sunagakure, and then Yoshimaru and Kosuke Senpai broke through to the north...... And I can't run away without Chakra, so I might as well act as a decoy to buy some time for others. ”

It turned out that Yoshimaru and Kosuke-sensei went north......

In this situation, we can only hope that they can merge with Orochimaru as soon as possible......

"Our team of bait was initiated and organized by Captain Kaneda. And the members are all ninjas like me, and there is no hope of breaking through. ”

"At that time, Yoshimaru and Kosuke seniors still insisted on opposing it......"

"It's just that I can't beat Captain Kaneda."

"But everybody's dead......"

"I'm the only one left......"

Qing Shui followed the footprints all the way and did see a lot of Konoha ninja corpses.

Unexpectedly, these people formed a bait team voluntarily, in order to allow the rest of their companions to successfully break through.

"What about Miki?" There was a faint sound not far from outside the tent, but I didn't expect Sha Yin to find out that someone was missing so soon.

I'm afraid that the other party will notice this place quickly, after all, the tent without guards is extremely conspicuous.

Qing Shui squatted down and said in a low voice, "Come up, we should go." ”

"Hmm."

The weak and helpless voice floated in his ears, and the roots of Qing Shui's ears were a little hot.

His palm supported the girl's buttocks and thighs, touching the girl's delicate skin......

It's soft and slippery......

Qing Shui felt his face burn a little.

For some reason, the last time I carried each other behind my back, I didn't seem to notice any of this.

Is it because he was not in good shape last time so he ignored it?

Or was it because he was deliberately keeping his distance at that time?

"Hold on!"

The huge chakra gathered at the bottom of his feet - and the clear water jumped out!

"Enemy attack!" An alarm rang out in the night sky from the Sand Hidden Position.

“…… They reacted so quickly. Satomi wondered how quickly the enemy reacted.

"There is more than one prohibition around your tent...... Something like an enchantment. ”

After quickly breaking away from the Sand Hidden Camp, Shimizu immediately increased his speed to the extreme, and then planted himself into the dark night forest with Satomi on his back......

200 m ...... 250 m ...... 300 m ......

In Satomi's pale eyes, the Sand Hidden Camp, which once represented despair and death, grew smaller and smaller......

until it disappears.

'I'...... Did you survive? ’

The howling north wind ruffled her hair, as if it also blew away the gloom in her heart......

She rested her head lightly on his shoulder......

……

…………

………………

In the perception range of 410 meters of Qing Shui, the Sand Hidden Ninja appeared again......

"This is the third time...... "Shimizu finally gave up the illusion of going directly back to Konoha and turned a wide range of directions, and instead ran wildly in the direction of the southwest, that is, the country of Kawanokomi.

What the hell...... A high-speed run that has been going on for almost an hour...... But he still didn't get rid of the enemy......

It's really as tough as kraft candy.

"This direction is...... Senior, this is going to go to the country of Kawanoku? ”

“…… I can't shake off their tracking, as if the entire southern part of the Fire Nation is filled with their people. ”

“…… It's a warhawk. ”

Qing Shui looked up, but in the vast night sky, he couldn't see anything clearly.

Then he turned his head sideways and caught a glimpse of Satomi's angry white eyes, and he frowned, "Don't use chakra anymore." ”

"But ......"

"No, but." Qing Shui immediately interrupted Satomi's explanation forcefully, and he said in a deep voice, "Your chakra can't help much now, so it's better to keep it." ”

"And the words of this eagle...... If it wants to, it can follow. ”

"It's true that Sand Hide has deployed enough power in the southern part of the Fire Nation...... But I don't believe that in this direction they also have troops stationed. ”

"I'm going to get rid of them completely."

With that, Qing Shui increased Chakra's output, and his speed increased again, rushing towards the unknown southwest......

As Qing Shui said, by the time the first rays of the morning sun hit him, there was no trace of the enemy in his perceptual range.

"I should get rid of it now." When Qing Shui stopped to rest, he saw that his legs were shaking slightly.

Alone at high speed and carrying a person on your back and then running at the same speed......

The two are completely incomparable.

"Senior...... This is the second time you've saved me. Satomi's voice also regained some vitality.

The girl's mood under the sun no longer seems to be so depressed......

Storm.

"I hope there won't be another time." Qing Shui rubbed his sore legs and sighed.

“…… Is it heavy? ”

"It's a person after all...... I can't say anything lightly. ”

Faintly, Shimizu seemed to hear the roar of a thunderstorm.

He looked up alertly, but didn't notice anything unusual: delusion? It's a sunny day?

"We are now on the border of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind...... I'm going to follow this border all the way north, bypassing the Land of Rain and making a detour back to the Land of Grass. Then go back across the country of grass. Shimizu roughly explained his next plan.

"Can't you just cross the Land of Rain?"

"No, they're under martial law. Rushing in and being found out can trigger a serious diplomatic incident. Qing Shui explained, and finally added, "And the demigod is not easy to mess with." ”

"Then we may enter the territory of the Land of Earth?"

"It's just the border." Shimizu didn't plan to go sightseeing in the land of the earth and do something deep into the territory of the land of the earth.

"If Iwakure finds out, it'll be troublesome."

"Try to pay attention...... There was no way, we couldn't go back, so we had to take a detour. This is the least risky path. ”

Speaking of Iwakuin, Qing Shui remembered the Iwakuin team who came to Konoha to inquire about some information, I don't know what happened to Konoha later?

"Senior, you have the final say, I listen to you."

Qing Shui said goodbye, this is a road for several days, if you carry this sack all the time, your leg will really break......

But if the other party can walk on his own...... Then there will be no more girlish fragrance and softness......

The inner contradiction is becoming more and more abrupt......

Until he could no longer ignore it.

So Qing Shui asked, "...... Can you still walk? Even he didn't know in what mood he was asking this question or what kind of answer he was expecting.

"It should be the sequelae of forcibly synthesizing chakra...... I couldn't move since last night. ”

"Then I'll carry you. You take care of your injuries. ”
