"It's time to go."
The clone in the distance said a dull reminder, then without any explanation, took her under his arm again and rushed to his place.
Huge ice crystals stood quietly on the ground, surrounded by gravel and fragmented ice crystals.
Ning Xue slowly fell from the sky, stepped on the messy ground, and his body shook slightly.
The continuous high-intensity fighting and the huge consumption of Chakra had left him physically and mentally exhausted.
He does not have such a huge amount of Chakra, and now he urgently needs to find a place to rest.
He walked to a relatively flat rock in a few steps, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
At this moment, the clone in the distance came closer with Shion between them.
The clone let go of his arm and put Shion, who was still in shock but full of shock, back to the ground.
Then there was a "bang" without any warning, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pool of water.
Shion staggered half a step before she could stand still. Seeing the clone next to her suddenly disappear, she couldn't help but complain and be confused.
Why is this clone so rude?
Then he looked at the main body and threw away the complaints just now.
This was the first time in the past few days that she had seen his appearance clearly at such a close distance.
When eating, the upper half of the mask is blocking the person, and when the mask is broken, there is also smoke blocking the person.
But at this moment, she really saw that his face was much younger than she had imagined, even though she already knew that his face was only fourteen years old.
The boy's face is still a little immature, but his skin color reveals a strange paleness.
There is a calmness and... indifference that far exceeds his age between his brows and eyes.
Although the bridge of his nose is not strong, it has a strange smallness.
His thin lips were pursed tightly at the moment, showing exhaustion.
There was a black turban tied around his forehead, and a few strands of white hair wet with sweat clinging to it.
Shion just stood there quietly, forgetting to speak for a moment.
And at this moment, a breeze quietly lifted her pale golden hair and dusty clothes.
She looked at the young man with his eyes tightly closed, and then looked around the messy battlefield, but the earth-shattering battle scene just now was involuntarily replayed in her mind.
The strong figure, the powerful Ice Release, the tacit cooperation with the big dog, and finally the joint ninjutsu performed by freezing the terrifying monster...
All of this was done by this boy who was one year younger than him and looked a little tired at the moment.
An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, mixed with the joy of surviving the disaster, the awe of the powerful force, the curiosity of her peers, and a trace of... a subtle sourness and touch that even she herself had not yet understood.
He always wears a mask, is it because of these special eyes?
Or because of the "killing a person" mentioned in his mouth.
Also, is the Hyuga mentioned by the monster his family?
All kinds of doubts were intertwined in her mind.
At this moment, she had to admit that she had a strong curiosity about this boy, and it was the only time in her life that she wanted to know about his past.
After all, this young man is too mysterious.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, but there was an obvious look of tiredness in his pure white eyes.
He noticed Shion's gaze immediately, but he did not look at her immediately. Instead, he scanned the surrounding environment first to confirm that it was safe, and finally set his sights on her.
"Is something wrong?" His voice was a little hoarse and deeper than usual.
Shion seemed to be awakened by the voice, and suddenly came back to his senses. He shook his head subconsciously, nodded again, and spoke a little fast.
"No, it's okay. Are... your injuries?"
"No problem." Ning Xue replied briefly.
"How about... let me bandage your wound?" Shion pursed his lips, took a small step forward, and his eyes fell on Ning Xue's blood-stained left shoulder and damaged clothes.
Ning Xue raised his right hand and calmly stopped her intention to get closer.
"No need."
As he finished speaking, the familiar green light glowed again in his palms.
The light softly covered his wounds. Under the blood, the flesh began to squirm and stick together at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although it could not be healed instantly, the bleeding did stop, and the edges of the rolled wound gradually closed up.
Shion's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Seeing him skillfully treating himself, I felt a little at a loss for a moment, so I had to retract my hand and unconsciously twisted the cuffs with my fingertips, feeling a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly, trying to relieve her embarrassment, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards his pure white eyes.
"... Your eyes," she couldn't hold back after all, and asked cautiously, for fear of making the other party unhappy like last time.
"That monster said Byakugan... and Hyuga Clan... doesn't matter? That's it... let me see it."
She remembered that he always wore a mask before, and even his eyes were inlaid with dark sunglasses, obviously to cover his eyes.
Ning Xue finished Medical Ninjutsu in his hand, and the green light dissipated.
He put down his hand and leaned on the rock behind him slightly tiredly. Hearing this, he just glanced at her lightly.
"It doesn't matter."
His voice was still hoarse and tired, but his tone was calm and not too disturbing.
"You don't know what that means, do you?"
Shion nodded honestly, she indeed knew very little about the world of ninjas.
"So, it doesn't matter if you see it." Ning Xue closed his eyes, as if even speaking a few more words seemed to take a lot of energy.
"It's just a Kekkei Genkai.
Konoha's Hyuga Clan is relatively famous, so he recognized it."
His explanation was brief and somewhat perfunctory.
He couldn't really silence her, otherwise who would seal it for him? Besides, he wasn't the kind of person who killed indiscriminately.
Shion looked at him with his eyes closed and concentrating, his pale and tired profile, and he was doubtful.
Really... was it just like this? The shock that the monster felt at that time was not like seeing an ordinary Kekkei Genkai.
But she could feel that Ning Xue didn't want to talk about it, and maybe even this explanation was just to avoid too many follow-up questions.
She wisely did not ask any more questions, but the doubts and curiosity in her heart grew stronger.
She felt that she needed to check this Hyuga Clan after this incident was over, or ask some elders.
