Naruto: First Love

Chapter 290 Lost Life, Scarlet Eyes

"It's already this late, and you're still chatting leisurely. You really need me to make you bleed!" A deep and hoarse voice sounded in the woods, staring at everyone in the caravan with ill intentions.

The people in the caravan had no idea that danger was coming. After all, it was just a C-level mission, and at most there would be some ordinary Genin or samurai involved. There was always a small possibility of accidents.

"Swish!" A sound of breaking air was heard. Mizunotsuki reacted the fastest. He pulled Tianma behind him and took two steps back with one hand.

Itachi reacted quickly, pulling Xinzi back two steps.

A row of kunai with detonating tags tied to them appeared on the side of the caravan.

"Bang!" When the explosion sounded, the other people in the caravan reacted and took out their weapons, ready for battle.

Tianma, Mizunotsuki, Itachi, and Kokoro, each guarding a direction, surrounded the caravan.

The foul air from the explosion dissipated, leaving only a scream from Xinzi. Everyone looked in Xinzi's direction and attacked at the same time.

However, where was Xinzi's figure at the original place?
Mizunotsuki had sharp eyes, and when he saw a figure taking Kokoko away, he quickly ordered, "Itachi, Tianma, guard the caravan, I'll go save her!"

The two men responded, and although they were worried, they still stood in front of the caravan with kunai in hand, guarding against sneak attacks.

Xinzi stared hatefully at the man who held her under his armpit, then looked at Qingfeng and Mizunotsuki who were chasing after her, and couldn't help but sigh.

Did she look that weak? He actually picked her up and ran away without any defense?
Unfortunately, the man's grip was too strong and too tight, so I couldn't even touch the kunai.

Qingfeng's speed was even faster than that of Teacher Mizunotsuki. With just two leaps, he jumped onto the man's back.

Don't mess with an angry cat, Xinzi warned himself when he saw cat paw marks all over the man's face.

"Who are you? Why did you arrest me?" Standing with Qingfeng, he felt much more confident and questioned the man in his heart.

Without saying a word, the other party quickly formed hand seals, and his speed was almost as fast as Itachi's!

Countless flames exploded around her, and Qingfeng and Xinzi fled in a panic.

"Xinzi!" Mizunotsuki arrived quickly, pulled Xinzi and threw her out, "You go back first!"

Xinzi hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back. After all, Mizunotsuki was a Jonin, and if she stayed with him, it would only distract him.

Seeing Xinzi leaving, the man did not try to stop her, but continued to fight with Mizunotsuki, which made Mizunotsuki a little confused.

When Xinzi saw the corpses all over the ground, his eyes widened in fear. How... could it be possible?
Seeing the mask with only a hole showing on the face of the man holding the long knife, Xinzi realized with horror that this day had finally come!
Even Itachi's face was full of fear, he was also afraid, that feeling of dying was suffocating. Tianma stood in front of Itachi holding a kunai, his eyes were full of fear, but his face was firmer than ever.

Seeing Tianma rushing towards the man, he was anxious. No, Tianma, you will die! Don’t go! “Tianma, don’t!”

The hoarse and lung-wrenching roar did not pull Tianma back. A pool of blood rose from Tianma's chest and splashed onto Xinzi.

Seeing Tianma falling down in front of her, Xinzi was horrified and panicked, tears streaming down her face. She suddenly knelt down in front of Tianma and tried to pull her up with trembling hands. "Tianma... Tianma... get up quickly... Tianma..."

Tian Ma was covered in blood, his eyes were lifeless, he just stretched out his hand, trying to pull her, his lips trembling, wanting to say something, but in the end all he said was: "I'm sorry..."

"Ah! You bastard!" Xinzi's eyes turned bloodshot. Unable to bear Tianma leaving like this, he looked up to the sky and cried loudly. Then anger took over his mind, and he rushed towards the man!
"Xinzi, don't!" Itachi seemed to have just come to his senses and hurriedly stopped her with trembling hands.

How could she refuse it? Fate told her that she would die, even if she refused it!
Xinzi poked the man with a kunai, but the man dodged it easily. Looking at her with scarlet eyes, there seemed to be some surprise in his voice: "There is actually another person from the Uchiha clan?"

"Xinzi, what are you doing? Run!" Qingfeng was also frightened by the scarlet in Xinzi's eyes, but the double-magatama Sharingan was not enough to deal with this person. This person made him feel too dangerous!
Xinzi looked at Itachi, who was terrified, Tianma, who died with his eyes wide open, and Qingfeng, who was full of worry, and forced an ugly smile. "Hey, Qingfeng, didn't Aunt Yexue say that I will die? It seems that I can't escape my fate. I just have to trouble you to take care of Itachi in the future, if he can get rid of fate..."

Qingfeng's eyes widened. How could it be possible? Did Yexue say that Xinzi would die? And this boy named Itachi was a short-lived ghost!

Xinzi looked up to the sky, laughed helplessly, and rushed towards the man with unparalleled determination!

There was a hint of scarlet in Itachi's terrified eyes. He looked at the blood splattered on Xinzi's body, shining the blood red in his eyes. Two more magatama appeared in his black eyes.

With one kick, Xinzi lost consciousness and flew out easily from the bloody corpse. He rolled on the ground for several times, and the bright red blood outlined a cruel scene on the ground.

"Okay, now you're the only one left..." The masked man holding the long sword stepped over the corpses and walked towards Itachi, seeming to be satisfied with the fear on his face and the murderous intent in his eyes.

Standing in front of Itachi, he raised the long sword. Many images flashed before Itachi's eyes, and he picked up the kunai with trembling hands.

"Stop!" Finally realizing something was wrong and knowing that he had fallen into a trap, Mizunotsuki rushed back and threw a kunai at the masked man. The masked man took two steps back and dodged the kunai.

Mizunotsuki took the opportunity to stand in front of Itachi, looking at the corpses all over the ground, feeling a little reluctant, and then looked at the masked man angrily.

"There is only one left. Why did you come back? You really disturb my fun! Then, let's die together!" The masked man put his hands together, then increased his speed again and attacked Mizunotsuki.

"Water Style - Explosion!" A lake-like body of water covered the ground, with corpses and blood everywhere, soaked in the water. "Water Style, Waterfall Technique!"

A huge waterfall-like stream of water hit the masked man, and he had to dodge.

Without using ninjutsu, he finally found that it was difficult to get close to Mizunoe, which was a bit regrettable.

A bunch of kunai were shot at the masked man behind the water flow, which made the masked man notice the source of the kunai, which was Itachi with a blood-red Sharingan!
With a cold snort, the masked man disappeared. He came and went quickly.

Seeing the masked man disappear, Mizunotsuki frowned, but what was important at this time was his students.

Ganoderma was no longer breathing, but the pain in Itachi's eyes had not yet faded as he searched for Kokoro.

"Xinzi! Xinzi..." Qingfeng seemed to have just come back to his senses and was looking for Xinzi everywhere.

Mizunotsuki followed the blood trail and found Kokoro on the shore. Just as he was about to go over and bring her back, a strong stream of river water rushed over, swept up Kokoro's body, and disappeared into the water. "Kokoro!"

Mizunotsuki was shocked. That was a rough sea. If he went in, would he still be able to survive? He was already seriously injured!
"Kokoro..." Itachi's eyes widened, his look of pain not lessening but worsening, his body went limp and he fell over.

Aomine was standing next to Itachi, and was crushed by his falling body. He screamed, but did not chase him immediately. Mizunotsuki was in a dilemma, but finally went to pick Itachi up and clean up the mess.
