In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

It was very small, and seemed to be coming from Hanabi's room...?

Chapter 83 It would be fine if I wasn’t here!

"Hana, Hanabi...?"

Xiaoguang's eyes widened.

Inside the room, [Chuixia] had transformed into a cruel torture device, pulling Hua Huo to the center like a spider web.

“Xiao Guang…?”

Hinata and Neji had already fallen asleep. After the two of them had some activities during the day and had some special training before, their physical exhaustion had actually reached its limit.

The rooms here are well soundproofed, and as long as the doors are locked, there is basically no problem.

But Hanabi never expected that in order to avoid disturbing her, Xiaoguang came over from the windowsill after noticing the noise.

——It seems I have to lock the windows from now on.

"Shhh."

Hanabi quickly made a gesture to silence the other party, which stopped the other party from taking further action.

However, Hanabi's hand was immediately pulled back by [Chuixia] and she could not move.

"Hanabi, what's wrong with you?!"

Xiaoguang was anxious, and her voice was filled with tears.

"It's nothing, I'm safe. This is just... the necessary price..."

Hanabi's hands were twisted further behind her, and her legs were hanging in the air.

Xiaoguang wanted to come in, but he didn't dare.

She stood at the window in a daze.

"Necessary... price?"

These red ropes...that's right.

Xiaoguang immediately thought of what happened before.

"Could it be... me?"

Yes.

The ropes that are now "torturing" Hanabi are the same ropes that healed her before.

The healing power of these ropes is quite strong, and even his own pupil power has been restored.

How could such an absurdly strong recovery ability come without any cost?

"Ah—Hanabi, your hand!"

Seeing Hanabi's hands folded, Xiaoguang's voice began to cry.

"It's okay...it's okay, I'll be cured..."

Before Hanabi could finish her words, the rope stopped her from speaking any further.

Xiaoguang wanted to stop all this, but she was afraid that after stopping it, something even more terrible might happen.

"Even so...even so..."

She didn't even dare to speak out loud.

Although he was young, Xiaoguang subconsciously felt that other people should not see Hanabi in this state.

Even if it can be cured, it is still too cruel.

The body was whipped, the hands and feet were broken, and the breathing was suppressed.

Xiaoguang wanted to escape, but she knew she couldn't escape.

"I can't escape... I can't escape... I can't escape..."

Hanabi was hurt like this because of me. If I run away, wouldn't that be denying Hanabi?

But isn't all this my own fault?

"Hanabi...ah?"

The ropes held Hanabi in various poses.

Originally this should be a very cruel act, but there seems to be a kind of weird beauty in this rope.

Xiaoguang suddenly thought of the feeling of his body being entangled by ropes when he was receiving treatment.

This feeling cannot be described clearly.

Even though Hanabi was being tortured, she felt an inexplicable emotion.

I am so weird and so dirty.

"I actually think these fireworks are... so beautiful..."

Sure enough, the problem was me.

The torture continued.

But as Hanabi herself said, all the injuries she suffered will heal.

The hands that were broken in the previous moment were restored to their original shape in the next moment.

When being suffocated to death, Xiaoguang's heart almost stopped, but Hanabi recovered again.

Finally, when all the torture was over, the ropes returned to Hanabi's body, wrapped around her body, and then the beautiful kimono that he had seen before also appeared outside.

"Have those ropes and torture instruments always been on you?"

After everything was over, Xiaoguang couldn't wait to enter the room. She carefully examined Hanabi's body and finally felt relieved when she found that there were indeed no "torture marks" on her body.

"I told you everything, it's okay."

Hanabi patted Hikaru's head.

When Xiaoguang first discovered her, Hanabi didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xiaoguang is a good boy and doesn’t understand many twists and turns. Also, because he was coming from the windowsill, the angle was wrong, so he didn’t see the key points.

But this also gave Huahuo a reminder.

——Remember to lock the doors and windows.

This kind of payment can be postponed, but it is not impossible to stop during the payment. However, the feeling is like suddenly having to "stop" in the middle of going to the toilet. It is hard not to say and it is very uncomfortable.

"I'm fine now."

Fireworks is indeed very good now.

“But…but I…”

Xiaoguang didn't dare to tell others about the strange feeling he had just had.

She clenched her fists.

——It’s all my fault.

If it wasn't for herself, Hanabi wouldn't be tortured.

Her head rested in Hanabi's arms.

"Why... would you do this for me?"

She doesn't understand.

"Because we are friends."

Hanabi said, "Or do you really want to be my samurai?"

Because Xiaoguang hates ninjas, Hanabi rarely mentions anything related to ninjas in front of Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang also understood this.

Even though Hanabi herself didn't look like one, her brothers and sisters all looked like ninjas no matter how you looked at them.

Xiaoguang finally returned to his room to rest.

And Hanabi finally felt relieved.

"Well, there's no need to show this part to the audience."

Cut it off, it must be cut off.

It's not because I don't want to give the audience bonuses, but because it doesn't fit the rhythm of the story.

Hanabi's serious face.

"Then, it's about the arrangements afterwards."

After paying the price, the next thing should be what happens next.

Sister Hinata is probably also heartbroken. Although there is a script for a joint fight, we still need to find a way to comfort her.

After all, Hinata is his favorite elder sister.

"Then there's Xiaoguang's future plans. I don't know what she wants to do in the future."

Hanabi still believed in Hikaru's own plans. If she just wanted to be an ordinary person, Hanabi would respect that.

"I'm superfluous. I'm the one who messed everything up..."

On the other side, Uchiha Hikaru was still in chaos after returning to his room.

"Friends...friends..."

Friendship...is mutual, right?

Yes.

Hua Bi has given so much for me, but I can't do anything for her.

"wrong."

Hanabi seemed to be troubled by something.

It seems to be an evil god?

By the way, when I looked at Hua Huo’s back, there seemed to be a mark there.

The words I heard before flashed back to me.

"So, as long as I, or that evil god, is gone... that'll be all that matters, right?"

Chapter 84 Then let me die!

"seal……"

Uchiha Guang would never have dreamed that he would return to the place where he was sealed.

Hundreds of years have passed, and this place is still not much different from what it was back then.

"Is it...over there?"

The Sharingan couldn't see through things, but since we already knew there was something terrifying inside the mountain, that was easy to do.

In fact, Xiaoguang has felt a gloomy feeling since he came here.

The surrounding space exuded a terrifying and cold aura.

It was as if someone had left the refrigerator door open and left a gap, through which the cold air flowed out.

"Is this here?"

She swallowed.

tension.

but.

"No, there's no problem. Even if I didn't fight, even if I died, the problem can still be solved."

"Death", a word that seems distant yet very close.

In the Warring States Period, death was always around.

On the contrary, after coming to this era, she did not feel that kind of horror.
