Naruto: First Love

Chapter 325 A Cruel Decision

So he practiced harder, and at a young age, he became a B-rank ANBU ninja.

He could finally go on a mission, but that mission made him miserable.

It is said that Koko and her team members were on a mission and were attacked. The team leader Mizunotsuki was seriously injured, team member Tenma died, Uchiha Itachi fell into a coma, and Koko was seriously injured and her whereabouts were unknown.

He did not receive any orders to look for Xinzi, but he saw Xinzi's name engraved on the memorial tablet.

He almost broke his calmness and rushed to argue with someone.

But who can he turn to?

The third generation was too busy and he hardly saw them.

Anbu boss? This is not the Anbu's jurisdiction.

He escaped from the Anbu and searched everywhere outside. After searching for a long time, he finally found some clues and was then discovered by Aoki Kakashi.

He had a big battle with Hatake Kakashi and he lost, but he was very happy because he finally found her. Although she didn't show up, he was really happy.

Watching Hatake Kakashi lead her into the Anbu and give her a new code name - Suzaku, he couldn't help but jump for joy. He could finally get close to her.

However, before he could say a word to her, Xinzi was taken away for training.

When Xinzi was trained, he had already been assigned a mission.

When he arrived in the Tea Kingdom, he was suddenly contacted by Eugene, and he remembered that he was an undercover agent!
Eugene wants mission intelligence, and the information is with him, but he naturally won't tell it.

He killed the other ANBU members, and no one knew the scroll was in his possession anymore.

He is afraid of death.

As an Anbu, this shouldn't happen.

But he wanted to see Xinzi again and tell her his feelings. After that, he had to at least avenge his mother before he died, right?
He never thought that the support sent by the third generation would be Xinzi.

He should be happy to see Xinzi again, but he is not happy at all.

Because here, it's so dangerous, and Eugene is always watching him.

It was difficult for him to hide it from Eugene.

It succeeded, but the price was a bit high.

But to him, it doesn't matter because he has no regrets.

……

"Natsume-san, I'll take you back to Konoha."

After hearing what Natsume said, Koko choked up.

Natsume had been in these situations entirely because of her.

Natsume shook his head and wanted to speak, but suddenly he looked to the right and said seriously, "Someone is coming. Go quickly. They should be able to use shadow attacks."

Use shadow attack?

Xinzi immediately thought of the two ninjas who had risen from the shadows of the disguised guards.

Will they use shadow attacks, the same secret technique used by the Nara family? If so, it would be very dangerous.

In fact, Xinzi has always been afraid of unknown secret techniques.

But she couldn't really ignore Natsume.

So he used all his strength to pick up Natsume and ran quickly.

"Xinzi, let go of Brother Natsume. He is dying. Don't let yourself die too." Natsume urged her.

Xinzi shook her head, "Konoha's medical ninjutsu has always been very good. I can cure it when I go back."

Natsume ruthlessly broke her fantasy: "I am burning my life force. If there is no function in my body, I will not survive. Even Konoha cannot save me."

Xinzi paused and stopped.

She understands.

But precisely because I understand it, I don’t want to believe it.

"Xinzi, you are a ninja. You should know that the death of a ninja is the most normal thing. I just... just went to find my mother in advance." Natsume seemed to be able to recall her expression and comforted her.

Everyone knows it.

She is a ninja and knows that the death of a ninja is the most normal thing, so she has survived all these years.

My father died, so many people died in the Third Ninja World War, my mother died, Tianma died... and now, Natsume is going to die too?

Slowly put Natsume on the ground.

Koko opened her Sharingan.

Two men in black have caught up with us.

When they saw Natsume, they were all surprised. Just as they were about to scold him, they noticed Kokoro's scarlet eyes with double magatama flowing in them.

"Write...Sharingan? Are you from the Uchiha clan?"

Xinzi couldn't help but sneer. These people seemed to know the Uchiha of Konoha very well. The reputation of the Uchiha had spread far and wide.

pity--

For the first time, Xinzi got angry and used the Sharingan, which was not very easy to control, as well as the rarely used wind and water jutsu.

His tone was as cold as ice, filled with suppressed anger: "I am not from the Uchiha clan!"

The two wanted to dodge, but they found that Xinzi's speed was so fast that they had no idea where she was attacking. Sometimes she used water escape, sometimes she used wind escape.

Finally, a thin layer of ice appeared around the two of them!
This is - the nature of chakra has changed to the extreme and merged into ice?
Before the two of them had time to think about it, their bodies were frozen before their shadows on the ice moved.

The next moment, a raging fire rushed towards them, melting the ice and people in the fire, turning them into ashes.

Xinzi looked at the fading fire with indifference, his steps became unsteady and he almost fell to the ground.

She didn't know how she used the ice escape, she just felt that her mind was unclear and her eyes were blurry.

"Xinzi..."

Natsume's weak voice brought Kokoro back to her senses.

Koko quickly turned to look at Natsume.

"Don't worry, I've already killed them."

"The Shadow Envoys are a group of people, not just two people. If you kill two people, they will find this place. You should leave quickly."

"What about you?" Xinzi asked back.

Natsume smiled bitterly, took out a kunai and handed it to her: "Of course, you have to kill me before you can leave."

Of course Xinzi didn't answer.

Natsume continued to talk to himself: "When you joined the Anbu, didn't anyone tell you that even if an Anbu member died, he couldn't leave his body behind?"

Because leaving a corpse behind would leave secrets to the enemy.

Members of the Anbu are not only responsible for tracking and assassinating, but also for dealing with corpses.

This is the purpose of the Anbu, and Xinzi naturally knows it.

But she has never dealt with other people's corpses, not to mention that this person is still alive, and this person is still the brother Natsume she respected since she was a child.

Xinzi shook her head slowly: "I can't do it..."

Natsume's voice was a little sharp: "Even if I can't do it, I have to do it, Xinzi. I don't want the little vitality I have left to be destroyed by the enemy, Xinzi..." His voice softened, with pleading and desolate, "Natsume brother is begging you... Let me die in peace, at least..."

Isn't it the happiest thing to die at the hands of the one you love?
Xinzi closed her eyes, feeling somewhat reluctant, and tears slowly fell.

After a while, the noise behind her became louder and louder, and she opened her eyes. There were no more tears in her eyes, only blood-red determination.

The kunai pierced Natsume's heart.

Natsume smiled, not even showing any pain, and murmured softly: "Xinzi, I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry for making you make such a cruel decision. I'm sorry for not being able to go on with you. I'm also sorry for the things I haven't said until now...
