"No."

Seeing the key and scroll moving closer to her, Hotaru answered decisively, even though she hadn't figured out the whole story and didn't know why Yuru had suddenly become the leader of this ninja unit in such a short time.

However, if it's just to fulfill a previous promise, then she has said that she doesn't need to do this.

Moreover, his wish has been fulfilled: his master's safe return.

"The secret technique of summoning the Zero-Tails can bring you a powerful force, and this Sky Ninja force can also provide some assistance to your master."

The firm rejection that reached her ears did not easily change Yu Liu's mind.

She continued, and these two advantages are also undeniable. The former allows an ordinary person who has never been exposed to ninjutsu to leap to the level of a Jonin or even an elite Jonin. The latter is rare in the entire ninja world and is almost the only flying unit that can be mass-produced!

It's important to know that even with the power of the Moon Chaser God, the number of ninjas in Hoshigakure who can currently fly or even engage in direct combat using the Peacock Secret Technique is no more than thirty.

Within this single aerial stronghold, the number of Sky Ninjas capable of basic aerial combat using aircraft is no less than one hundred!

The practice of secret techniques is ultimately difficult and tedious.

However, technology can greatly shorten the time required during this process!

Hearing such a tempting offer, Ying hesitated for a moment, after all, this was no longer just about herself, but also about her master.

If it benefits both my master and the Demon Hidden Village where I will live, then perhaps a little unethical greed is acceptable...

Therefore, before answering, she glanced sideways at her master, who remained silent beside her.

However, Ying couldn't find any hint or emotion on the latter's face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her and was entirely up to her to decide.

However, it was precisely because of this that he was able to make a judgment.

"Thank you, but I really don't want it."

“If Master really needed it, he should have made the request for an exchange long ago.”

As she spoke, Ying wrinkled her nose, referring to the other party's earlier sudden intrusion into Katsuragi Mountain to request an exchange of secret techniques.

As for me,”

"Don't let my current appearance fool you, I am also an heir of my clan, and my clan's secret techniques are definitely no weaker than anyone else's!"

"I will definitely study hard."

At this moment, a strong will burst forth in his eyes, revealing a glimpse of the majesty of the successor of the Earth Spider lineage.

Their clan is a force to be reckoned with, even during Konoha's strongest period!

"and,"

"Can't we be friends?"

As she spoke, she raised her left hand and reached out to the girl who was standing close to her.

Chapter 605 Idiot, Hotaru, it's hard to enter his world with just hard work.

Becoming friends is truly the best approach Hotaru could think of.

Not only would they not need to possess what Yu Liu inherited, but they could also gain a powerful ally for their master.

Although this ally had recently launched a unilateral war against his master.

However, after Yuru took control of this force, didn't she already stop the situation from escalating further by recalling the naval forces that intended to attack the Land of Hot Springs?

Therefore,

This is indeed the best result!

Overjoyed, Ying silently gave herself a big thumbs up in her heart.

However, the girl in front of him did not show the same joy. In fact, a hint of unbridled impulse surged in her eyes, which had been trying to appear calm.

"friend?"

"I'm afraid that's a bit difficult to achieve, Hotaru."

Looking at the left hand that the former deliberately extended, the girl who had just lost her teacher suddenly became somewhat dejected and difficult to approach.

"Huh?"

Hearing the pleasing answer, Hotaru, who thought she had made a perfect proposal, once again froze. Not only did the joy that had risen in her heart gradually cool down, but even the hand that had been reaching out to her suddenly felt awkward.

"why?"

"Does Yu Liusang not want to be friends with me?"

Such a polite refusal must have caused her some excitement and disbelief, since she thought that after the events of tonight, she was already able to become friends with the other party.

However, Ying quickly noticed a clue in the former's suddenly shifted gaze.

She followed the other person's gaze and looked at her master standing beside her.

The key to this is clear: the main reason for all of this is one's master, and following this line of thought...

He is Shennong, the physician!

Ying found the answer in her heart, and her excitement was quietly suppressed at this moment.

The physician Shennong, who never reappeared, must have done something during this time.

Furthermore, judging from the series of events that have occurred before, Yu Liu's respect, admiration, and even dependence on that teacher are difficult to eliminate or erase!

Having figured this out, Ying's emerald eyes gradually became dominated by a sense of knowing helplessness.

The reason for all this is easy to uncover: her master caused the girl in front of her to lose her teacher forever, so the other party wanted to use the transfer of power and secret techniques to forcibly banish any potential future revenge.

"My former teacher was the leader of that sky fortress."

As expected, the reason was consistent with Ying's guess: from Yu Liu's slightly parted teeth in her opening remarks, the identity of Shennong Physician was directly revealed.

"Now, he is gone."

"And they entrusted me with this aerial fortress, the remaining ninjas of the Sky Ninja, and the secret technique to summon the Zero-Tails."

As the red-haired girl calmly continued her narration, Hotaru's outstretched left hand gradually, slowly, and unconsciously drooped downwards.

All of this aligns with the speculation.

"As my successor, the will my teacher left me was: defeat the Uchiha clan."

As their gazes met again, Yu Liu spoke once more.

This is also the most important reason why she refused:

From Master Shennong's final request!

Even on his deathbed, the other party was unable to acknowledge that he was the other party's student.

However, in terms of this...

The former was not only his savior who pulled him back from the brink of death, but also his mentor who taught him medicine!

In a sense, she had no reason to refuse if the other party asked her to do something, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.

As for now, isn't he trying to find the most suitable and best way to deal with it?

Once Hotaru accepts these two items, she will lose the ability and power to fulfill her teacher's will and, at the same time, to keep her own vow.

However, Hotaru...

The real culprit for all of this is your master.

If it weren't for what he said, I wouldn't have made this decision.

"So, what are you going to do, Hotaru?"

"It is about accepting this power and eliminating any potential threats it may pose."

"Or perhaps, one day in the future, after I resurrect the Zero-Tails, I will make your master, along with the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Demon Village behind him, suffer revenge from the Sky Ninja lineage?"

Yu Liu spoke terrifying words calmly, a stark contrast to her previous sorrowful tears and desperate attempt to escape by burying her head between her knees.

However, this is a completely understandable change.

After all, whoever holds these two highly symbolic objects is bound to shoulder heavy responsibilities and will.

Of course, aside from these intangible responsibilities, there is also a little bit of personal selfishness involved.

Previously, when he was still in the shadows, he had already overheard their conversation, and an overwhelming jealousy surged within him.

She also wanted to see Hotaru's true resolve.

Or perhaps, to push the kind girl a little closer to the ninja beside her.

[After all, you're such an idiot, Hotaru.]

[If you want to get close to and enter the world of this terrifying being, it's not something you can achieve through effort alone.]

You need to have your own confidence.

And this is my gift to you.

Huang looked at Yu Liu with some confusion.

It wasn't because she changed her previous negative attitude and uttered such harsh words to Ying, but because when she made the decision to take revenge, her chakra energy was in an unusually peaceful and calm state.

This is somewhat inconsistent with the excited and indignant state of a vengeful person.

Unless the girl in front of you is an actress with superb acting skills like Feng Hua Xiao Xue, who can control all her emotions with ease, there will definitely be some subtle flaws.

The only other explanation for this phenomenon is that the other party did not have the desire for revenge, or that their desire for revenge was not as strong as they claimed.

For Yu Liu, who had previously expressed sadness, anger, and rejection on her face, it would be very difficult to achieve complete emotional control in a short period of time.

But if the first reason doesn't exist, then why would she feign hatred?

"If that day ever comes,"

"Yu Liusang, you will be my enemy."

"I will work hard and protect my master!"

However, compared to Ara, who can use the Sharingan to deeply manipulate chakra, Hotaru, who is already inexperienced in the ways of the world, is much more naive. At present, she can only judge the emotions held by others through their words.

Moreover, he could fully understand Yu Liu's actions and choices.

Because no matter who it is, if they hurt her grandfather, she will do everything in her power to seek revenge!
