The moment those black and white eyes opened, the whole cave seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Shion subconsciously held his breath.
Sasuke clenched the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, Sharingan locked onto the figure who slowly stood up, the lightning faintly beating on the sword.
Ning Xue ignored the two people's warning.
He just lowered his head and looked at his hands.
Gray-black skin, slightly longer nails, and purple Chakra lingering on the white fingertips.
He turned his palm over and looked at the white vertical lines spreading on his arm.
It stretches from the corner of the eye to the neck covered by the collar, like some kind of mysterious rune.
"This is..."
He whispered to himself softly, his voice lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness.
Then, he closed his eyes and quietly felt the power surging within his body.
Improve all aspects.
Chakra's reserves, physical strength, and sensory acuity.
Each item is better than the previous one.
What concerned him even more was that there was a strange yet familiar force within his body.
That is the remaining soul of Mōryō.
No, to be precise, it was the power of Mōryō that was absorbed into his body after being swallowed by him.
He could feel that he could call upon that power at any time, and it was the kind that could be replenished automatically. To describe it, it was like another person's Chakra amount had been stuffed into his body.
What surprised him the most was his own ice.
He raised his right hand, his thoughts moving slightly. The air above his palm suddenly condensed.
A crystal clear and as white as jade Ice Cone emerged out of thin air, floating quietly.
It is exactly the same as the ice condensed in Land of Snow.
That is not ice transformed through Secret Technique, through Water Release.
It was pure, like Kekkei Genkai, real ice.
"Who are you...?"
Shion's voice broke the silence, with trembling, fear, and a trace of expectation that even she herself was unaware of.
"Is it Fujiwara? Or...Mōryō?!"
She clutched the bell on her chest so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Sasuke did not speak, but Kusanagi Sword in his hand had been slightly raised, and the thunder light became more powerful.
As long as there are any questions about Ning Xue's answer, he will take action as soon as possible.
Ning Xue raised his head and looked at the two people.
Then, he made a simple action.
He closed his eyes and opened them again.
The pair of black and white eyes were returning to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The dark whites of the eyes gradually faded away and became clear again, and the pure white pupils slowly converged, returning to their original pure Byakugan eyes.
The gray-black skin began to fade and returned to its original pale complexion.
The white vertical stripes fade upward from the neck and eventually disappear completely.
The long white hair that hung down to her waist also slowly shortened and returned to its original length.
After a while.
Standing there was the familiar Ning Xue from Shion.
White hair, pale skin, pure white eyes.
Except for the addition of a thin, tattoo-like black Cursed Seal on his neck, he looked the same as before.
"I am Fujiwara."
His voice was as cold and calm as ever.
Shion was stunned for a moment when he heard these familiar words. Looking at those familiar pure Byakugan eyes, he held back a sentence for a long time.
"You... you changed back?"
Her voice was still trembling, but the fear was fading away, replaced by incredible surprise.
Ning Xue nodded slightly, raised his hand and touched his neck.
The place where Mōryō penetrated has turned into a thin line of Cursed Seal, which is close to the skin.
"Mōryō's remnant soul wanted to seize me." He simply explained, "But it underestimated the strength of my... consciousness. Instead, it was swallowed by me."
He paused, feeling the power that still existed in his body, and continued.
"Now part of it... has become my strength."
Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, but the pair of scarlet Sharingan was rotating rapidly, carefully observing every subtle expression of Ning Xue and Chakra's fluctuations, as if he wanted to see through something.
After a moment, he slowly put down the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, and the lightning on the sword also dissipated.
"Seize the body... devour the remaining soul of Mōryō... power."
He repeated in a low voice, an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.
Ning Xue looked at Sasuke and nodded slightly.
"Thank you very much this time, Sasuke."
Sasuke did not answer the call.
He put away Kusanagi Sword and looked into those pure white eyes.
Then he spoke and spit out another name that was unfamiliar to Shion.
"Ning Xue."
Shion was stunned.
Ning Xue? Isn't it Fujiwara?
She looked at Sasuke, then at Ning Xue, her eyes full of confusion.
Sasuke noticed her reaction, but did not explain it.
Ning Xue on the side just sighed and explained.
"That was my original name."
Shion blinked, and for a moment his mind was a little hard to wrap his head around.
Fujiwara...Ning Xue... Which one is true?
She remembered what Ning Xue said by the campfire.
"The name is just a label, there is not much difference."
At that time, she thought it was just perfunctory on his part.
Only now did she vaguely understand that that sentence might be true.
"So..." she asked tentatively, "What is your name?"
Ning Xue looked at her, her confused face reflected in those pure white eyes.
"Anything is fine." He said calmly.
"Fujiwara or Ning Xue, it's just a title."
Shion opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just muttered something softly.
"Then... I'd better call you Fujiwara."
It wasn't until their conversation ended that Sasuke interrupted and asked a question that was extremely inconsistent with the situation at the moment.
"Ninja Academy, you and I were assigned to a group..."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, Sharingan had faded away, but there was a strong dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Is it intentional?"
He stared at Ning Xue and recalled the feeling at that time.
Every battle went smoothly, but at critical moments, I would be hit by him inexplicably and fall down.
Now that he saw his performance, he had reason to suspect that the other party did it on purpose.
Sasuke didn't say everything, but Ning Xue knew what he was referring to.
Ning Xue was silent for a moment.
Then, he nodded.
"Yes."
Sasuke's brows moved. He didn't seem surprised, but he still had a subtle feeling when he heard the other party admit it personally.
"Why?"
Ning Xue looked at him with those pure white eyes calm.
"Because it's not necessary."
"At the beginning, I just wanted to stay quietly at Konoha, without attracting attention or proving anything.
Winning or losing is meaningless to me."
Sasuke After listening, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that his desire to win and lose seemed to be a little excessive.
But Sasuke will not go into details about these, just change the subject.
"Then why did you leave Konoha?"
This question is much more acute than the one just now.
Ning Xue's eyes moved slightly, but quickly returned to calm.
He didn't answer immediately.
Shion was standing aside, keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere, and subconsciously held his breath.
After a long time, Ning Xue finally spoke.
"Because..." He paused, seeming to consider his words, "I am also an Avenger."
You can take a look at the magical power of bean bags.
