Memories slowly take shape... like bubbling bubbles rising to the surface from the bottom of an unfathomable dark well.
Where am I?
Uchiha Chen closed his eyes and racked his brains to think back.
Suddenly a blurry figure stood in front of Uchiha Chen. He rubbed his eyes and tried to identify the person. But that person seemed to be separated from him by a black iron door.
Without any warning, the man suddenly emitted white light from his entire body... becoming more and more dazzling. His whole body began to shake violently, and then, with a loud roar, he broke into more than a thousand glowing fragments. Everything around him instantly turned into ruins, and the smell of death was everywhere.
Uchiha Chen screamed and woke up suddenly.
The pungent smell of blood filled the air. A violent shaking made Uchiha Chen's body even more painful.
Uchiha Chen turned his head. Just this action gave him a splitting headache, as if a long nail had been driven into his skull. He took a few long breaths to fight off the pain. Then, he slowly took stock of his surroundings.
At this time, his head rested on a soft back, and his whole body ran forward quickly in the darkness.
The surrounding area is no longer the original town. This is a woods. Because it was night, the visibility was not very high.
"Chen, are you awake?" At this moment, a figure approached, probably hearing the sound of Uchiha Chen waking up.
The man lowered his voice, but his voice sounded like crying. By the sound, Uchiha Chen identified it as Mikoto. Mikoto was also seriously injured, with blood on her body. Her black eyes were filled with concern.
Watching Uchiha Chen wake up, several people stopped running. Uchiha Chen then realized that the person carrying him was Yura.
"Put me down." Uchiha Chen coughed weakly and said.
Hearing this, Yura was startled, and then carefully put Uchiha Chen down.
The grounded Uchiha Chen was sitting under the big tree. He tried to move his right arm, but a stab of pain stopped him.
The back of Uchiha Chen's head was throbbing, it was the kind of heart-breaking pain. He carefully raised his uninjured left arm and gently touched his scalp with his hand, trying to find the location of his headache.
Under a knot of hair, he felt a hard scar, and the wound was already scabbed with blood.
It looked like he was seriously injured. He remembers being hit in the head by a rock before falling into coma.
Yura looked at the boy with somewhat complicated eyes.
At the last moment, his thin body stood in front of everyone, and then formed Earth Release Ninjutsu to block the impact of the explosion.
In the end, when the entire basement collapsed, one man broke the pressing boulder with his fist.
In the end, the injuries sustained by several of them were not particularly serious. On the contrary, Uchiha Chen was seriously injured.
So she owes this boy her life.
Uchiha Chen looked at the surrounding environment and asked. "Where is this place?"
Nawaki quickly explained, "In a forest in the west of the town. After the explosion, we came out of the ruins and rushed to Konoha Camp."
"Where are the others?" Uchiha Chen asked.
Everyone was silent for a while. In that kind of explosion and collapse, if there is no early warning, it is impossible to survive!
"Iwa-nin should still be chasing us now, right?" Uchiha Chen asked.
Yura said with a sullen face, "That's right. After the explosion, I felt the unfamiliar chakra approaching us quickly. So I took you and left quickly."
She turned her gaze to Uchiha Chen, "What on earth is going on?"
Uchiha Chen took a deep breath, "That Iwa-nin is actually a trap. Sharingan can see the flow of chakra."
"There is a strange chakra flow in that ninja's abdomen. There should be something similar to Explosive Tag placed in his abdomen."
"He pretended to be caught by mistake, and you brought him back, and the thing was detonated. Without Byakugan or Sharingan, there is no way to detect the abnormality on him." Uchiha Chen said.
Yura nodded and said, "After detonating, even if we are not dead, the position of the station is exposed. The remaining Iwa-nin are just in time to harvest the heads. Iwa-nin is really a good trick!"
Uchiha Chen nodded, so no matter in which era, Human Bomb is the most terrifying.
"By the way, what's the situation now? Did we escape?" Uchiha Chen looked at Yura, who had the ability to perceive.
Yura shook his head, "On the contrary, we are surrounded by each other."
"How many enemies are there?"
"The number of enemies... ten. And based on previous battles, most of the opponents are Chunin. However, the opponent's captain is Iwagakure's genius ninja - Explosion Release Hunter." Yura sighed.
"But we only have four people per unit. In this case..." Nawaki did not continue.
Indeed, each of them is injured now, the most serious of which is Uchiha Chen.
If Uchiha Chen was not injured, with his strength and Yura, even if he could not forcefully eat the opponent, he would still be able to escape. But now, Uchiha Chen shook his head, he was lucky enough to escape.
"The enemy hasn't grasped our specific location yet, so they can set up an ambush and then break out." Mikoto said.
"It's useless. In the current situation, someone must act as a bait to contain them." Yura shook his head.
"Bait? You will definitely die."
Yes, he will definitely die, Yura sighed.
In fact, there is another way, which is to escape separately. Then everyone will be bait.
Among the four, the boy Uchiha Clan is the strongest. But the injury he suffered now was the most serious. On the contrary, it is not particularly convenient to move around. Then Yura is the strongest. If they escape separately and she still has the ability to perceive, then she has the best chance of surviving.
This is the evil nature of war, this is the cruelty of war. In order to minimize the loss of profits, sometimes... it is necessary to abandon the child!
However, she rejected this plan in her heart. How could she do such a thing after being saved by the other party?
She told herself in her heart that if you owe others something, you must pay it back, and if you owe someone a life, you must repay it with your life, right?
Yura stood up, "I'll be the bait!"
The three of them looked at Yura.
"Sister Yura, no!" Nawaki's tears immediately flowed down.
Yura patted Nawaki on the head, "If this continues, everyone will die! Do you want to watch everyone die?"
"But..."
"It's nothing." Yura's voice turned cold, "My two brothers died on this battlefield, and now it's my turn."
"I beg you!"
