These words instantly brightened the girl's slightly downcast eyes.
"Yes."
She answered the man's retreating figure and then hurried after him with light steps.
Due to the urgent voices of Yu Liu and Physician Shennong, the stone village, which was gradually falling into darkness, gradually became brightly lit again.
However, the firelight, which should have brought warmth and confidence, instead brought immense fear to this remote village deep in the rainforest as it illuminated the surrounding fields.
There, the revered physician Shennong, respected by the entire village, lay tragically in a pool of blood, his body riddled with sharp weapons. Yu Liu knelt beside his corpse, her face filled with grief, her clear tears flowing like a hot spring rising from the earth.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, those weapons that reflect a chilling light in the firelight are precisely the bladed weapons commonly used by ninjas, such as kunai and shuriken!
"Who are you? What do you want from here?"
Enraged villagers, wielding tools used for farming and logging, hissed and questioned the shadows swallowed by darkness.
However, through their trembling voices and arms, one could still glimpse the fear and lack of confidence in the hearts of these ordinary residents.
Following the gaze of these people into the darkness, one could vaguely discern creatures resembling human form standing there.
Why use "tendency"?
Because something seemed to be growing or installed behind them, like a perfectly normal person suddenly growing a pair of triangular wings, making them appear somewhat strange in the dark environment.
Moreover, these outsiders, like logs, simply stood in the shadows, silent and unresponsive, let alone answering questions from the residents.
At that moment, Hotaru suddenly remembered her master's words: "As expected of a ninja who dared to attack the Five Great Nations, they arrived so quickly."
Previously, due to the sudden outbreak of the incident, she had not carefully considered the message the other party had pointed out. Now, after recalling it again, she has selected the most important message: daring to declare war on the five great powers!
What kind of terrifying force could possibly have the audacity to wage war against the five great powers?!
However, her panic was only momentary, because all she could see was her master's tall and straight back.
Since they were able to come here without any hesitation, it means that their master had some idea of what might happen.
"teacher,"
"Teacher Shennong!"
"........"
In the silence of the newcomer, the villagers who lived there began to lose their initial spirit, especially in the face of darkness that seemed to swallow everything and the presence of the dead. Fear began to grow in their hearts.
All that remained was Yu Liu's heart-wrenching sobs as she held Shennong's corpse.
Huang remained motionless, coldly observing the farce.
Although this wandering doctor appeared to be completely devoid of life force, a state that even the Sharingan could not detect, the life force hidden within him could still be sensed by the power of the Firefly Grass.
The reason it wasn't exposed was because the appearance of that monster required such a setup.
I feel a little bad for the emotions that Yu Liu is expressing right now.
Well,
The other party has nothing to do with me in the first place, doesn't it?
"It's you!"
"You're the one who brought all of this upon us!"
"What exactly do you and your ninjas want to do to this village?!"
"Didn't you have something to ask Physician Shennong?"
"Why kill him now!"
Under the oppressive atmosphere of bizarre, one-sided silence and fear, some residents finally began to pay attention to Uchiha Ara, who was standing to the side, and discovered the common ground he shared with those hidden in the shadows:
Both of them are ninjas!
The most crucial thing is that, during the sudden questioning, these residents discovered that they didn't even know the young ninja's name or the faction represented by the headband on his forehead!
When we first met, I simply extended my hospitality and respect for Shennong, the doctor, and invited him into the village!
In hindsight, this was a complete blunder – inviting a wolf into the house!
Upon hearing this, Huang looked toward the source of the sound. Although the person was not holding a torch, and even though he had half his body in darkness and only extended his arm as a symbol of accusation and guidance, Huang's Sharingan, which could see through the illusions of the world, still saw through the other party's identity: it was the guy who had previously broken away from the crowd and run into the darkness outside the village.
"What are you looking at!"
The sudden appearance of crimson in the young man's eyes made the speaker's heart tremble inexplicably, and he even took a step back.
Ultimately, he was fundamentally different from the ordinary residents living here, and he clearly understood the meaning represented by that special headband.
However, the sudden fear that arose in Yu Zhi's heart was quickly suppressed. She even felt a sense of self-deprecation and anger because of it, so she quickly mustered her courage and raised her voice to question him:
"Yes, I guessed right. Now you want to silence me?"
These words were like Pandora's box being opened, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
Even Yu Liu, who had been crying the whole time, slightly raised her tear-stained cheeks in response to this one-sided questioning.
There was a noticeable change in her eyes regarding her previous activity.
It's like a deathly stillness, a loss of emotion and hope for life.
"No, it's not."
“We don’t know those ninjas, and we didn’t cause the death of Shennong.”
"They, they are..."
When her master was questioned, Hotaru immediately stepped forward and tried her best to refute him, but she suddenly stopped when she mentioned the identities of these ninjas.
Because she didn't know the other person's true identity either.
"Tell me, who are they?"
"Why aren't you saying anything!"
“You bunch of scoundrels, we must have been blind to have served you.”
The nearby residents also saw through the loopholes in the girl's words and immediately questioned her, in order to vent the anger that had been building up in their hearts.
However, Huang remained completely unmoved in the face of such slander.
Not only were there no actions, but there wasn't even the most basic rebuttal.
At this moment, his gaze was completely fixed on Yu Liu, who was crying bitterly.
Furthermore, through the power of the Sharingan, he was able to see a special power slowly dissipating from the former's body.
It should be noted that this girl, who grew up in a remote village, had never learned formal ninjutsu, but in just a moment, the energy within her body had already exceeded the level of a regular Chunin.
It seems that it won't be long before that monster is born into this world.
"no,"
"no!"
"My master is not that kind of person, and he would never resort to such underhanded tactics!!"
Faced with the questioning, Ying stood up and loudly responded to the doubts and slander from the surrounding residents.
Although they cannot produce any concrete evidence at present.
but!
That's what she believed.
A master who believes himself to be exceptionally powerful wouldn't need to resort to such underhanded tactics!
Of course, such rebuttals failed to gain any trust or support whatsoever.
"firefly."
"It doesn't have to be like this."
He looked at the girl who suddenly stood in front of him, trying her best to argue with the surrounding residents.
Despite the sudden change, he was still trembling.
"But,"
Hearing such advice, Ying, who was clenching her little fists, turned around as if she wanted to say something.
"A true ninja is one who doesn't get angry over such trivial matters."
"If you did it, you did it; if you didn't, you didn't."
No one can slander you.
It was rare for Huang to say much to his newly accepted apprentice.
His calm words also calmed the girl's eyes a little.
Although she still couldn't understand why she would not defend herself or fight back when she was falsely accused.
“On trivial matters,”
"Ha, so my teacher's death is just an insignificant matter?!"
These words naturally reached Yu Liu's ears as well. As she questioned them, she slowly stood up from the ground, her tear-streaked, red eyes fixed on the couple in her field of vision.
However, what really caught people's attention was the strange energy emanating from Yu Zhi's body.
It was a black color, completely different from the azure chakra emitted by regular ninjas.
The birth of that monster,
Getting closer!
It's likely that the main reason those strangely equipped ninjas around didn't make a move was because they were afraid of being affected by that thing.
"If you really care about being slandered."
"Then, just use your own power to wipe it out."
Huang did not respond to Yu Liu's question, but instead continued to complete the previous text word by word.
Chapter 592 To be honest, you really disappointed me.
Ying stared blankly at her master beside her, speechless for a moment.
