Chapter 122 Replenishing Energy
With a long sword in his right hand and Uchiha Itachi by the collar in his left, Shingetsu Seiun ran incredibly fast!
Because someone is chasing us from behind.
three people.
They're all at least Chunin!
When he spotted Uchiha Itachi, the other party also spotted him. Several Iwagakure members followed him closely, their eyes gleaming, just like hunters spotting prey.
"You guys from Konoha, stop and prepare to die!"
"You can't escape!"
The noise behind him continued, and Shenyue Xingyun couldn't help but tighten her grip on her longsword.
"Konoha's idiots!"
"Is running away all you can do?!"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as Shenyue Xingyun ran, glancing around at her surroundings. In the distance, she could still hear the sporadic sounds of fighting.
"Killing those three here shouldn't attract attention, right?" he thought to himself, and his pace slowed.
Just as he was about to take action to deal with the three Iwagakure members, he suddenly saw Sarutobi Asuma's figure appear in front of him.
The latter waved frantically at him, pointing to the thick smoke beside him.
He was about to refuse, having already planned to unleash a massacre, but Sarutobi Asuma, seeing that he didn't react, became increasingly anxious and waved his hand violently.
Kurenai Yuhi waved from the side.
Shen Yue Xingyun sighed inwardly, quickened his pace again, and plunged headlong into the smoke ahead amidst the curses of the three people behind him.
Beyond the smoke, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened as he watched the approaching three enemies as Shingetsu Seiun broke through the smoke, silently chanting in his mind.
Three, two, — fire!
"BOOM!!!"
The smoke turned into a burst of fire, engulfing the three Iwagakure members. Sarutobi Asuma threw two more explosive tags and smoke bombs forward before quickly retreating.
An hour later.
In the forest, Shenyue Xingyun stopped in her tracks.
My teammates are no good.
Kurenai Yuhi was almost completely exhausted, and Asuma Sarutobi was also pale, collapsing to the ground and waving his hands repeatedly.
"I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!"
"Stop running. If you keep running, you won't survive long even if you don't die in the enemy's hands."
Not only them, but Shenyue Xingyun was also exhausted.
The fighting has been ongoing since last night. They fought from night until dawn, from the main defensive line to the second line of defense. Now the second line of defense has been breached. Although the group has eaten something, they have not yet rested.
What I desperately need now is food and sleep, even just ten or twenty minutes of sleep would be fine.
Shenyue Xingyun: "Okay, let's eat something first and rest for a while."
He put Uchiha Itachi off his body and said to him, "Itachi, you keep watch for us. If you sense any movement, wake us up in advance."
Kurenai Yuhi: "You're making a child a guard?!"
Sarutobi Asuma: "Yeah, Nebula. I haven't even asked yet, where did you pick up this child from?"
"Which girlfriend's accident?"
"Thump!" "Ouch!~" A sudden sharp tap on the head made Sarutobi Asuma wince and cry out in pain.
He rubbed his head, looking at Kurenai with a pitiful expression: "Kurenai, I was just joking with Nebula, why did you hit me?"
Yuhi Kurenai said sternly, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
"This is Ms. Misaka's son!"
Sarutobi Asuma was startled, then protested to the stern-faced Kurenai Yuhi, "I've never seen it before."
Kurenai Yuhi: "Even if you've never seen it before, don't you recognize Uchiha clothes?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "I didn't see it?"
He definitely didn't see it.
The fan emblem on Itachi Uchiha's clothes was on the back, but Gonjin Tsuki Seiun was holding the other's collar, so he didn't see it clearly.
Sarutobi Asuma then asked, "But what's Misaka-sensei's son doing here?"
"This is a frontline base, not a place to bring children!"
"I don't know either." Kurenai shook her head, then said to Seiun, "Seiun, I'll take care of the guard duty."
"The weasel is so small—"
"Don't worry," Shenyue Xingyun said, "It's just a simple guard duty, no problem."
"Right, Itachi?"
Itachi Uchiha blinked his big eyes and then nodded.
"Leave it to me."
Seeing the other person's mature demeanor, Shenyue Xingyun suddenly felt a mischievous urge and reached out to pinch the other person's little face.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then the guard duty is yours."
After saying that, he rested his head on a bare tree root and fell asleep in three seconds.
Sarutobi Asuma wanted to say something after seeing this, but as his mind relaxed, a wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he opened his mouth and fainted.
Kurenai was left looking at Itachi Uchiha, who was standing quietly in place, with some unease.
Can such a young child really be alert?
Seemingly sensing Kurenai's worry, Itachi Uchiha calmly said, "You should rest."
"I'll let you know in advance if someone is coming."
"My eyesight is very good."
Sensing the warning signals from her body, and knowing that she might not be able to hold on if she didn't rest for a while, Kurenai Yuhi said nothing more and lay down on a tree root and fell asleep.
Uchiha Itachi remained standing in place, his gaze sweeping over the three faces.
A short while later, Kurenai suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.
She hurriedly got up and saw two teammates fast asleep, and Itachi Uchiha hiding behind a tree trunk, keeping a close watch.
"Itachi, how long have I been asleep?"
Uchiha Itachi: "Less than half an hour."
"You seem very nervous; you don't sleep as soundly as they do."
Kurenai rubbed her throbbing forehead.
On the battlefield, with the enemy always on their way, she naturally couldn't sleep soundly.
Feeling mentally exhausted and hesitating whether to lie down for a while longer, Kurenai Yuhi saw the sleeping Seiun Shingetsu and suddenly had a thought.
It seems like there's a chance!
The other person is asleep. Asuma is asleep too.
The awake Itachi Uchiha is still just a little kid; he probably doesn't understand anything. Maybe—he should replenish his energy?
The more I think about it, the more reliable it seems!
On the battlefield, she fought hard all night. Why not reward herself and replenish her energy in this special time?
Very reasonable!
Do what you want to do.
First, he glanced casually at the wary Uchiha Itachi, then, trying to find an angle where the other could not see, he quietly reached out his hand towards the location of Shingetsu Nebula.
Three seconds later, Kurenai Yuhi narrowed her eyes.
Five minutes later.
Itachi Uchiha's voice awakened Kurenai Yuhi, who was still lost in the afterglow.
There seems to be some movement in the distance.
Kurenai Yuhi tensed up immediately. She listened carefully and could indeed hear the sounds of battle. It wasn't a large-scale engagement; it was probably just Chunin or Genin.
"Nebula, wake up! Asuma! Asuma!"
The two woke up groggily, looking like they were about to die.
Sarutobi Asuma: "Should I just die here?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Shenyue Xingyun rubbed her face. "Get up now."
Kurenai Yuhi: "I just heard sounds of fighting in the distance."
Sarutobi Asuma: "And now?"
Kurenai Yuhi: "It's far away now."
"Let's go." Shenyue Xingyun stood up. "We'll go to the third line of defense."
