Uchiha Itachi's body plummeted from the sky, like a kite with a broken string, losing all support.

His eyes began to glaze over, but his indomitable will still sustained him, allowing him to shout out those words with his last ounce of strength:

"We need to...save me..."

Although this sentence is incomplete, it is full of the desire to survive and the persistence in the face of the unknown.

At this critical moment, Nangong Yehua reacted swiftly, his figure appearing like a ghost beneath Uchiha Itachi, spreading his arms to catch him steadily.

There was no joy of victory on Nangong Yehua's face, only deep worry and complex emotions.

He gently placed Uchiha Itachi on the ground, his actions revealing an indescribable tenderness and respect.

Uchiha Itachi lay on the cold ground, his chest heaving violently, each breath accompanied by a violent cough and a gush of blood.

He looked up at Nangong Yehua, a hint of gratitude and relief flashing in his eyes.

"Why are you?"

He asked breathlessly, seemingly wanting to know Nangong Yehua's reasons for doing so.

Nangong Yehua was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Because I don't want the world to be without an interesting 3.4 opponent."

His voice was deep and powerful, every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, full of sincerity and determination.

He knew that Itachi Uchiha was a worthy opponent, whose existence made the world more colorful and interesting.

Even though they held different positions and had even fought to the death, their shared pursuit of power and love of battle created an indescribable resonance between them.

Chapter 559 Turning Enemies into Friends

Nangong Yehua took out a pill from his pocket and held it to Uchiha Itachi's lips:

"This is a miraculous healing medicine; it might save your life."

His eyes were filled with expectation and hope; he hoped that Uchiha Itachi could live on, continue to be his rival, and continue to write their own legend in this world.

Uchiha Itachi smiled slightly, a smile that contained both a longing for life and a sense of helplessness in the face of fate.

He took the pill, swallowed it with difficulty, and then closed his eyes, as if he were resting, or as if he were thinking about something.

The surrounding air gradually returned to calm, broken only by the sound of the two people breathing and the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.

After taking the healing potion handed to him by Nangong Yehua, Uchiha Itachi slowly closed his eyes and began to concentrate on healing.

He sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint glow of chakra.

That was his life force flowing faster under the catalysis of the medicine, repairing the damaged meridians and internal organs.

His breathing gradually became long and steady, each breath seemingly drawing in the natural energy of the surrounding air, accelerating the recovery process.

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only the subtle chakra fluctuations emanating from Itachi Uchiha's body gently swaying.

Nangong Yehua stood aside, watching the scene with a deep gaze, feeling both admiration for Uchiha Itachi's tenacious vitality and confidence in his own strength, as well as reflection.

Just then, a light footstep broke the surrounding silence.

Mei Terumi, a female ninja who possesses both beauty and wisdom, slowly entered the battlefield, bringing a touch of gentleness to the tense atmosphere.

Her gaze first fell on Uchiha Itachi, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes, but then she turned to Nangong Yehua, her tone tinged with urgency:

"Nangong Yehua, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Nangong Yehua turned around and smiled slightly at Terumi Mei. The smile contained both gratitude for his comrade's concern and confidence in his own strength.

"Don't worry, Mei Terumi, I'm fine."

He gently shook his head, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness.

"Uchiha Itachi is powerful, but not strong enough to hurt me."

As she spoke, Nangong Yehua's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Uchiha Itachi, who was healing, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

He knew that victory in this battle would not be easy, and he was impressed by Itachi Uchiha's strength and wisdom.

But at this moment, what he wanted to show Mei Terumi was his strength and confidence, as well as his absolute certainty of victory.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

"That's good, but don't be too careless."

She reminded her softly.

“Itachi Uchiha’s genjutsu and fire power are extraordinary. Even you cannot be careless.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua smiled faintly, a smile that reflected both gratitude for Bi Meiming's concern and confidence in his own abilities.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

He said it in a relaxed tone.

"Moreover, I also learned a lot from Itachi Uchiha. This battle was also a rare opportunity for me to grow."

The conversation between the two, though brief, was filled with the tacit understanding and trust between comrades.

Chapter 560 Itachi Uchiha's Benefactor

Looking into Nangong Yehua's determined eyes, Terumi Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She knew that the man before her not only possessed great strength, but also had an unwavering heart.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha, although still recovering from his injuries, seemed to have sensed the change in the atmosphere around him.

A slight, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of his lips. He knew that although he had lost, he had also gained much from this battle.

He deeply admired Nangong Yehua's strength and character; while Terumi Mei's care and concern brought him a long-lost warmth.

As time went by, Itachi Uchiha's injuries gradually improved, and the chakra light around him gradually dissipated.

Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze regaining its former clarity and depth.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the chakra flowing through his body become abundant and powerful again, knowing that his injuries had greatly improved.

He slowly stood up, his movements still a little sluggish, but steady enough.

He first looked at Nangong Yehua, his eyes, which were filled with complex emotions, now brimming with gratitude and respect.

"Nangong Yehua, thank you for saving my life."

Itachi Uchiha's voice was deep and sincere, every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

"At the same time, I would also like to thank you for your guidance in this battle. Your strength, wisdom, and respect for the fight have benefited me greatly."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand and revealed a calm smile on his face.

"Uchiha Itachi, you're too kind."

he said softly.

"Our competition is essentially a process of mutual learning and common progress."

"Your illusion techniques and fire power have impressed me as much. I believe that one day in the future, you will become an even more outstanding ninja."

Their eyes met in mid-air, as if at that moment, all grudges and struggles vanished, leaving only mutual recognition and respect for each other's strength.

A sense of indescribable satisfaction shone in Nangong Yehua's eyes. He knew that Uchiha Itachi was not only a formidable opponent, but also a warrior worthy of respect.

Uchiha Itachi nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Nangong Yehua, you're right."

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"This battle has made my path clearer. I know what I want to do next, and I know how to do it."

Although his voice was calm, the firmness and determination it contained were impossible to ignore.

Nangong Yehua could sense that an unprecedented flame was burning in Uchiha Itachi's heart—a desire to surpass himself and a willingness to embrace unknown challenges.

"Well then, I wish you all the best."

Nangong Yehua said softly, his tone containing both blessings and expectations.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I believe you have the ability to overcome it."

Uchiha Itachi smiled slightly, a smile that contained both relief and anticipation for the future.

"Thank you, Nangong Yehua."

He expressed his gratitude again, then turned around and looked out at the deep night sky.

Goodbye, friends. I will remember this moment and everything you have given me.

After saying that, he moved swiftly and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Chapter 561 Cleaning Up the Battlefield

Nangong Yehua and Terumi Mei stood there, watching Uchiha Itachi's departing figure, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

They knew that this parting might be forever, but the camaraderie forged in battle would be etched in their hearts forever.

A gentle night breeze, carrying a hint of coolness, also dispelled the smoke and blood of the battlefield.

Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming exchanged a smile, needing no further words, both understanding each other's feelings.

Itachi Uchiha's figure gradually blurred in the night, eventually merging completely into the boundless darkness, leaving only a faint chakra fluctuation, and 327 slowly dissipated in the air.

Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meimei exchanged a glance. They could both read the complex emotions of grief over their comrade's departure in each other's eyes, but even more so, their determination for survival and the future.

They silently turned around and began to clean up the battlefield that had been ravaged by battle.

Nangong Yehua wielded his longsword, its light flashing like a dragon, precisely cutting through broken trees and clearing away scattered rubble.

Every sword strike revealed his competence and efficiency as a ninja.

Mei Terumi, on the other hand, used her delicate water-style ninjutsu, and the water flowed under her control like a gentle ribbon.

Gently gather up the scattered weapon fragments and battle dust, sending them one by one into the distance, allowing this land to gradually return to its former tranquility.

Moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a silvery glow on the ravaged battlefield and gilding the figures of the two men.

Nangong Yehua's face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, reflecting both pride in the victory and longing for the rest that was to come.

Mei Terumi, on the other hand, appeared more gentle and graceful. Her movements were soft yet powerful, and every detail revealed her tenderness and respect for this land.

As time went by, the battlefield was gradually cleared clean, as if the fierce battle had never taken place.

Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming exchanged a smile. No words were needed; their tacit understanding was already deeply rooted in their hearts.

Then, the two walked side by side to a small house not far away. Although the house was simple, it looked particularly cozy under the moonlight.

Pushing open the door, a faint scent of pine wood wafts out, the smell of home, bringing a moment of peace to the soul.

Nangong Yehua stepped into the room first and lit an oil lamp. The dim light instantly filled the entire space, dispelling the chill of the night.

Mei Terumi then got busy, skillfully lighting a fire in the stove. The flames leaped and crackled, adding a touch of life to the little house.

"Go wash up first, I'll prepare some hot tea."

"Nangong Yehua said softly, her tone full of concern."

Mei Terumi nodded, a grateful smile on her face. She walked to the stream behind the house, took off her coat, and stepped into the cool water.

Bathed in moonlight, she resembled a water sprite, every movement graceful and natural. The stream gently lapped at her skin, washing away her weariness and dust.

Soon after, Terumi Mei returned to the house with her long, wet hair. Nangong Yehua had already prepared hot tea and dry clothes for her.

The two sat by the fire, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. The aroma of tea rose gently, mingling with the scent of pine wood, creating a heartwarming scene.

As night deepened, drowsiness gradually crept in.

Chapter 562 Another World in My Dream

As night deepened and all was quiet, only the occasional calls of night birds in the distance and the chirping of insects nearby wove together to form the symphony of the night.

Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming returned to their room, closed the door, and shut out all the noise from the outside world.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of softness and warmth to the tranquil night.

Nangong Yehua lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and tried to clear away all the fatigue and thoughts of the day.

However, just as his consciousness began to fade, a strange feeling quietly welled up in his heart, as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force.

It transcends the boundaries of time and space.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world.
