Hinata kept running, leaping through the bushes, turning to lie down and slowing down, trying to use the terrain to shake off the swarm of bees that were chasing her.

The Stone Ninja kept chasing after her, using tree trunks as leverage to slam down from high places towards Hinata, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

"Grab her!" shouted the female ninja Suzume. "There's no time to steal the Scent-Tracking Bug; use her to exchange for it!"

"She can't escape!" The bespectacled pretty boy suddenly sped up, his figure vanishing from his spot in an instant. The next second, he was already in front of Hinata, adjusting his glasses with a ferocious expression.

"Where do you think you're going to run to!"

If we waited for Naruto to climb down the cliff, it would be too late.

If you want to use the incomplete version of Flying Thunder God, you can't use it if you're too far away. This cliff alone has a vertical height of several hundred meters, so it's impossible to activate it.

With time running out, Naruto didn't hesitate at all. The only way to shorten the distance was the simplest one: jump off the cliff!

He flung the Nine-Tails aside and charged off the cliff. He free-fell through the air, having already prepared a Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

Just before the swarm of bees was about to touch Hinata, with a bang, the Flying Thunder God was barely activated.

The kunai with the Flying Thunder God seal engraved in Hinata's ninja tool bag cracked open with a snap, allowing Naruto to instantly switch places and avoid being smashed into mincemeat.

Hinata felt herself fall into an embrace, and strangely, Naruto's hands reached inside her hoodie and wrapped around her, holding her tightly.

The blood-red Nine-Tails' chakra erupted, and the One-Tail opened.

The scorching Chakra whirlwind repelled all the bees and then hurled Flying Thunder God Kunai at the pretty boy ninja. He was currently holding Hinata in his arms and couldn't use his full strength against the three of them.

In a real battle, opportunities are ever-changing. Giving the enemy even the slightest chance to catch their breath could lead to a disastrous defeat.

Naruto used to read Entertainment Spring and Autumn, and his heart has long been filthy.

When three people walk together, there's bound to be a weakling among them who can be killed!

In broad daylight, he spotted the bespectacled, pretty-faced ninja who was nearby. The moment Naruto easily dodged the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he moved.

He put Hinata down, and in his other hand he held Kusanagi Sword. In the instant he switched places with the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he slashed with the sword, and the bespectacled pretty boy was stunned for a moment.

In the instant of the misalignment, the bespectacled, pretty-faced ninja felt a chill on his neck, and then saw his body spinning.

The scene was somewhat indescribable. Naruto grabbed the Flying Thunder God Kunai and ran a few steps the moment he landed, then turned to look at Hinata as she rolled a few times to avoid the bloody baptism.

The other two Stone Ninja were stunned. They didn't even see how the bespectacled pretty boy died before being greeted by a visually bloody scene.

"Don't look over there." Naruto covered Hinata's eyes.

The female ninja Suzume, stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Naruto's blond hair. Just as the burly black man, Kurobachi, was about to make his move, she stopped him.

"Hurry up."

Naruto didn't stop them, but just stared at the retreating figures of the Stone Ninja as they hurriedly left, and asked Hinata.

"Have you found the Scent-Tracking Bug?"

"Yes, we found it." Hinata felt a little heat around her eyes that were covered. "Shino and the others should have been caught successfully."

"Naruto".

"Um?"

"You don't need to cover it up, I've already opened my Byakugan."

"Uh," Naruto awkwardly moved his hand away, then pulled Hinata back, saying, "It's better to watch less of these kinds of scenes; they're bad for your mental health."

"Hey, she looks pretty good with her Byakugan activated," Naruto said, leaning closer to Hinata's face to examine her closely.

"Ah! That kind of place... Don't look!" Hinata covered her eyes, forgetting to turn off her Byakugan in her nervousness, and it took her a few seconds to finally close them.

When the Byakugan are activated, blue veins will appear on the skin around the eyes, the pupils will shrink, and fine lines will appear inside, making the eyes look ferocious and terrifying.

"It's really pretty, can you see through it?" Naruto pressed for an answer.

"Don't ask anymore, Naruto." Hinata's cheeks flushed, and she ran away shyly.

Naruto was just trying to distract Hinata from the scene, so she wouldn't relive what had just happened. Unlike Hinata, the reconnaissance squad didn't participate much in killing enemies.

Unlike their Team Seven, who often followed Kakashi on missions involving cross-border solo kills and licking blood from the edge of a knife, they had seen all sorts of bloody scenes and were already numb to them.

After this mission is over, he will most likely return to the Team Seven, though he may be occasionally transferred or seconded elsewhere.

Kakashi's skill level is quite high; among the Jonin Konohagakure, only Might Guy can rival him. What's even more commendable is that Kakashi doesn't slack off.

Even though he's almost thirty and a veteran prodigy, he still feels his skills aren't up to par and continues to train hard to improve. That's precisely why he's considered a lifelong rival by the passionate Kai.

The mission with the Scent-Tracking Bug was successfully completed, and after receiving the mission reward, Naruto stayed at home.

Tsunade hasn't assigned him any new tasks yet; she seems quite busy lately. No one knows what happened, but Sakura successfully became Tsunade's apprentice.

The electric fan was whirring, Naruto casually grabbed an ice cream from the refrigerator, while tossing a bottle of liquor to Nine-Tails, who was squatting in the corner.

Nine-Tails looked at Naruto was licking an ice cream, with some surprise and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll regain my strength?"

Naruto didn't even turn his head, lying on the sofa like a lump of mud. "Forget it, how long will it take you to recover your strength? Life is short, so let's enjoy it while we can."

"My life isn't short either." The Nine-Tails fox bristled with its two claws and dragged the wine bottle toward its little sofa.

"It's not yours, I mean mine. If I die one day, you might be with me and never be able to come back to life," Naruto continued to threaten.

"Even if the Nine-Tails doesn't perish, that Nine-Tails won't be your Kurama anymore."

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tails glanced at Naruto with slight apprehension, said nothing, and took a swig of wine.

A summer breeze swept across the windowsill, Nine-Tails lay sprawled on the sofa, its narrow, half-open eyes seemingly lost in thought. A chuckle escaping its lips completed the image of a fallen fox.

Naruto tossed the empty ice cream into the trash can and lay down on the sofa, closing his eyes. The image of Itachi Uchiha knocking on the door flashed through his mind, followed by Ino her Maid Outfit.

Occasionally, fragments of the original owner's memories would flash before his eyes, but he could only feel a bitter taste in his mouth, unable to truly remember anything.

Perhaps the original owner suffered too much in the first half of his life, which is why he left early.

Some are enjoying romantic moments under the moon, some are newlyweds, while others are suffering and tormenting in the mortal world. He didn't know what a child could have done wrong, he only knew how he should live from now on.
