Moriyue was highly experienced when it came to running away. After all, one could lack strength, and one could lack money, but the ability to run away was absolutely essential.
In fact, once your ability to run away had reached its peak, the first two problems would no longer be problems.
No strength? No problem, as long as you ran fast. Running after showing off was thrilling too. No money? No problem. As long as you ran fast enough, death would not be able to catch up with you.
"Huff... I really need to train my body more in the future..."
Moriyue carried Hinata on his back and ran a long way farther. To be honest, according to his original plan, Hinata would no longer be of any use after exchanging resources with Neji, and he could not be bothered with whatever happened afterward. But who would have thought the plan would go wrong here? Left with no choice, he had to bring Hinata along.
They had now reached a place where there were no trees in sight at all. The surroundings were covered in endless yellow sand, giving it the feel of another long journey.
Hinata seemingly had yet to recover from her earlier shock. At this moment, her heart was filled with conflicting emotions.
On one hand, what Moriyue had said about Sakura and Naruto's relationship had indeed shaken her. All along, it seemed that she alone had loved Naruto, while Naruto had never truly looked at her. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were the closest-knit group. She was merely an outsider.
Moreover, Naruto had always openly expressed his affection for Sakura without any attempt to hide it, while Hinata could only bury her own feelings deep in her heart.
They said that unrequited love was like a tug-of-war.
