Izumo Shinzuki regretted asking the question earlier.

Shenyue Xingyun dressed herself and turned to leave home.

"Brother." Just as he was about to walk out the door, Shinzuki Izumo called out to him. Shinzuki Seiun turned around and saw Shinzuki Izumo looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Spit it out," he said.

Izumo Kamitsu: "...Come back soon."

“Bringing your new sister-in-law back is fine too.”

It's good that you're back.

Shenyue Xingyun waved her hand: "Understood."

"You should stay home and behave yourself. When you come back, I hope you'll have a girlfriend... preferably someone younger than you."

"gone."

...

That evening, after making arrangements for the rear, Shingetsu Seiun stayed overnight at Uzuki Yuhi's house.

After all, the other party had not yet fulfilled the bet he had promised.

When he knocked on the door of the Uzuki family's house, Uzuki Yuhi, whose face was slightly flushed, reluctantly led him inside.

sleepless nights.

The next morning, Shingetsu Seiun ate the loving breakfast that Uzuki Yuhi had prepared for him, while Uzuki Yuhi neither ate nor felt hungry.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Uzuki Yuhi asked again before leaving.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Really, there's no need."

"I plan to go by myself this time. It wouldn't be very convenient to just take you with me."

Maoyue Xiyang murmured, "Could it be that you're afraid I'll hold you back?"

Shenyue Xingyun's heart skipped a beat: "How could this be?"

"impossible."

"I'm going there purely for work."

"You stay home and keep an eye on things in the village for me."

"Oh, right, this is for you." Shenyue Xingyun said, taking something out of her storage space.

A teardrop-shaped pendant, entirely blue, about the thickness of two fingers, with rounded edges.

One end was tied with a thin rope, from which hung a pull ring.

Uzuki Sunset asked curiously, "What is this?"

As he spoke, he took it from Shenyue Xingyun's hand.

From the appearance, it looks somewhat like an earring or a piece of jewelry, only it's a bit too big.

But her expression changed once she got her hands on the food.

Slightly heavy to start with.

Judging from its weight, this thing definitely couldn't be an earring. She held the blue pendant up to her eyes to examine it, and gradually, her face turned red.

He glared fiercely at Shenyue Xingyun: "Are you playing tricks on me again?"

“No, absolutely not,” Shenyue Xingyun said. “It’s actually a locator.”

"A locator?" Uzuki Yuhi asked suspiciously.

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Yes, it's a precious treasure passed down in my family."

"Wearing it, I can sense whether you are in danger."

"Wear it?" Uzuki Yuhi placed the pendant in front of Shingetsu Seiun, her face flushed, and asked, "Where should I wear it?"

"Give me a demonstration."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "If you don't know how, I can help you put it on." She then reached out to take it.

Maoyue Xiyang was startled and quickly stopped.

She knew Shenyue Xingyun's character of keeping her word. She was already full early in the morning, and if she wore this pendant on top of that...

"Alright, I understand. You should leave now."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Good to know."

"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. This is truly a treasure."

"Of course, you can also choose to wear it after you encounter danger."

"I am leaving."

"Take good care of yourself."

Shingetsu Seiun rose and left. Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Uzuki Yuhi murmured something.

Come back soon.

...

"BOOM!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!"

"Kill them all!! Kill all the idiots in Konoha!!~"

"Kill these Iwagakure scum!!"

"Ohnoki, you old bastard!!~"

"Die, you bastard!!"

In the Hidden Rock Battlefield, flames roared incessantly.

The detonating tags exploded one after another, sending up dirt and debris. The shrill screams and angry curses were drowned out by the explosions and howls.

Konoha ninjas, using the dense forest as cover, repelled the frenzied attack of Iwagakure. Traps, explosive tags, and shuriken flying everywhere, along with the bloodshed, created a poignant symphony on the battlefield.

The Konoha ninjas, relying on their advantageous terrain and traps, fought a steady and methodical battle, but were still repeatedly defeated by the Iwagakure ninjas' aggressive offensive.

The earth rumbled continuously as the Jonin of Iwagakure unleashed a large-scale Earth Release technique. With the tremors, large swaths of traps were destroyed.

Even when the Konoha ninja organization used Lightning Release, they still struggled to defend themselves.

"Kill!!"

"Kill them!!"

"Stop them!!!"

"BOOM!!!"

The killing continued.

It seemed the battle wouldn't stop until enough corpses were sacrificed on the battlefield. Amidst the chaotic fighting, there were large-scale ninjutsu exchanges, as well as low-ranking ninjas engaging in close-quarters combat with kunai.

In the center of the battlefield, a beautiful girl with purple hair, holding a long sword, was struggling against an Iwagakure ninja.

"Bang!!"

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Sparks flew as Uzuki Yugao retreated continuously.

Her situation can no longer be described as merely struggling; "perilous" would be a more accurate description. Several times, the Iwagakure ninja's large sword had almost struck her vitals. The reason she had been able to hold on until now, besides luck, was mainly due to the help of others.

Moonlight and Gale.

He and Uzuki Yugao stood not far from each other, each holding a similar long sword. Their faces and bodies were covered in blood, some from enemies and some from his own.

"Heh heh~ Two overconfident Chunin, they're actually quite persistent." The Iwagakure ninja grinned maliciously.

"Give up."

"Dying sooner might be a relief for you."

"Screw your pee!!" Moonlight Gale roared.

Perhaps his injuries had stirred his emotions, for the usually quiet man was now speaking politely.

"Why don't you just die!"

"You damned Iwagakure scum, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."

He spoke forcefully, but the massive blood loss had already made him somewhat dizzy, and he was only able to stand up by sheer willpower.

Knowing he might be dying, Gekko Hayate glanced at the beautiful, cold-eyed Uzuki Yugao not far away.

I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Being able to die together with the other person seems like it would be worth it.

Chapter 371 The Unity Style of Swordsmanship!

Uzuki Yugao was unaware of Gekko Hayate's thoughts. If she had known, her feelings would probably have been quite complicated.

If the two of them died together, it might be worth it for Hayate Gekko, but for her—it would be a huge loss!

The frustration was even greater than the frustration of winning the lottery and then suddenly being devastated before claiming the prize.

She doesn't want to die.

Regardless of whether Moonlight Gale was by her side or how strong the enemy in front of her was, she did not want to die.

She wanted to return to Konoha alive and fulfill her promise to Shingetsu Seiun.

She wanted to return to Konoha alive to taste the rare delicacy that her best friend, Mitarashi Anko, could only dream of.

So... hang in there!

Biting her tongue with her pearly teeth, the pain stimulated Maoyue Xiyang, whose consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and made her a little more awake.
