Just when Naruto's blood was boiling, a basin of cold water was poured in his face.
"Um...Naruto-kun, how should we get up there?"
Hinata weakly stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky.
After all, none of the three can fly.
Naruto After hearing this, his blood suddenly cooled down by half.
He looked up at the ruins rising higher and higher, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Yeah, how to get up there..."
He scratched his head and turned around several times, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"That's right! Shadow Clone! Stack it with Shadow Clone!"
Just do it.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang bang bang bang!
More than a dozen Naruto appeared instantly, stepping on each other's shoulders and starting to stack them up.
One, two, three...
By the time the stack reached the fifth one, the people at the bottom were already shaking.
When the seventh one was stacked, the face of the one at the bottom turned red.
Stack to the ninth--
"Down or down or down--!"
"Boom!"
More than a dozen Naruto fell into a ball, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
"No, no, no..."
Naruto climbed out of the crowd and shook his head in disgrace.
"It's too high and can't be reached at all."
He thought for a while and came up with another bad idea.
"That's right! Use the impact of Rasengan to push me up! Just like Pervy Sage pushes a boat!"
Hinata turned pale when he heard this idea.
"Naruto-kun, that would be too dangerous..."
"It doesn't matter! I'm thick-skinned!"
Naruto said that he separated himself from one another, rolled out a Rasengan, pointed it at the ground and pressed it down.
"Wait a minute!" Hinata quickly grabbed him, "Naruto-kun, this really doesn't work..."
Naruto stopped moving, scratched his head, and looked troubled.
"Then what should I do..."
Yu Liu stood aside, looking up at the increasingly smaller fortress in the sky, and clenched his fists.
Is the person who killed the teacher... also up there?
She bit her lip, her eyes full of complexity.
Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do.
"Huh?"
Hinata suddenly let out a soft sigh, turned on Byakugan, and locked his eyes somewhere on the metal outer wall of the ruins.
There, a figure was clinging to the vertical wall, with a black windbreaker dancing in the air.
"It's him!" Hinata blurted out.
"Who?" Naruto was stunned.
"That man with the mask! He... he is attached to the wall of the ruins."
Naruto suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction Hinata pointed.
The ruins have risen so high that ordinary people cannot see the details above.
But Naruto squinted his eyes and tried hard to identify it. When he recognized that there was indeed a black spot on it, his eyes lit up and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hey--!! People above--!! Wait--!! Take us up--!!"
His voice echoed in the empty valley, but the distance was too far, and the people above seemed not to hear it.
"Hey--!! Did you hear that--!! Take us with you--!!"
Naruto jumped to his feet and waved his hands desperately.
But the people above remained indifferent.
Yu Liu stood there and moved his lips, but finally did not speak.
That man... killed the teacher.
She didn't want to ask him for help.
But she thought of her aunt in the village and the Xiao Duo who was taken away.
She gritted her teeth and finally shouted.
"Please... please wait a moment--!!"
The two voices echoed in the valley, each one louder than the other.
On the outer wall of the ruins.
Ning Xue is leaning against the metal surface, slowly climbing up.
He used Chakra to stick to the smooth wall, with precise control in every step to prevent him from being thrown off by the strong wind.
At this moment, he heard shouts from below.
"Hey--!! People above--!!"
Ning Xue's movements paused.
He turned on Byakugan and looked down.
I saw three small figures standing among the ruins, waving to him desperately.
Naruto, Hinata, and...Yu Liu.
Ning Xue was silent for three seconds, and then continued to climb up.
"Um...Naruto-kun, he didn't seem to hear it, and he continued to climb..."
Hinata, who had always turned on Byakugan, saw that the other party had no intention of stopping, so he reported the other party's movements to Naruto.
Naruto After hearing this, instead of being discouraged, he shouted even more energetically.
"Wait--!! Take us together--!!"
The shouting continued.
But Ning Xue ignored it.
He still has his own things to do, the villagers need to be rescued, and the old man's revenge on him has not yet been avenged, so he has no time to be a nanny.
"Hey--!! Did you hear that--!!"
Naruto's voice almost broke.
Ning Xue still didn't stop until--
"Please... please wait a moment--!!"
That's the voice of Yu Liu.
With trembling, struggle, and complexity that shouldn't be present at her age.
Ning Xue's hand stopped.
He didn't expect that this tomboy would ask him for help.
He was silent for a few seconds.
Then, he sighed.
below.
Naruto shouted until his voice became hoarse, but there was no response from above.
Yu Liu bit his lip, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"That guy... did he do it on purpose..." Naruto gasped.
"I obviously heard it... but just ignored us..."
Hinata lowered his eyes and said nothing.
But just at this moment.
A crackling sound came from overhead.
The three of them looked up at the same time.
They saw a transparent thread hanging from high in the sky in front of them.
Water Syrup Spider Web.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"That guy... is still soft-hearted!"
He grabbed the silk thread and pulled it hard. Apart from feeling sticky and strong, there was nothing.
"Hinata, Yu Liu, hurry up!"
Hinata nodded and held the thread tightly.
Yu Liu looked at the thread, his eyes full of complexity.
She bit her lip, and finally reached out her hand and grabbed the waterline.
The next second, a huge force came from above, and the three of them were violently pulled into the air.
The wind howled in my ears, the ground was getting farther and farther away, and the sky was getting closer and closer.
Naruto shouted excitedly.
"Oh oh oh--it's flying--!!"
Hinata closed his eyes tightly and turned pale.
Yu Liu gritted his teeth and stared at the figure above that was getting closer and closer.
After a while.
"Bang."
The three of them were pulled to a raised metal platform.
Ning Xue stood on the edge of the platform, with his back to them, rubbing his sore wrists.
Naruto gasped for air as soon as he came up, and his legs were still weak.
"Thank you... thank you..."
He propped up his knees and looked up at Ning Xue.
"I thought you really didn't want to care about us anymore."
Ning Xue didn't look back, just uttered one word gently
"Noisy."
Naruto The corners of his mouth twitched after hearing this.
"This guy..."
Hinata helped Yu Liu stand firm and said thank you softly.
Yu Liu said nothing.
She just stood there, staring at Ning Xue's back.
In those eyes, there was fear, anger, hatred, and something even she couldn't explain.
The teacher... was killed by this person.
He penetrated the teacher's chest with Ice Cone.
Her hands are shaking.
"Why."
Her voice was so soft that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any time in this high altitude.
But Ning Xue heard it.
He turned around and looked at the little girl.
The pure white eyes under the mask were as calm as water.
"Why why."
He asked knowingly.
"Why kill the teacher?"
Yu Liu's voice was trembling, and his eyes were red.
"What did he do wrong? He is just a doctor... He saved so many people... He was so good to me..."
Her voice became hoarse.
"Why did you kill him... why..."
Ning Xue was silent.
He looked at the girl with hatred and sadness in her eyes and was silent for a long time.
Naruto opened his mouth and tried to calm down.
After all, according to Hinata's dictation, he saved Yuliu once, but did not take advantage of his weakness to kill him.
But he didn't know why that person wanted to kill Uncle Shinnō.
But judging from his behavior, he doesn't look like a bad person.
"Because..."
Ning Xue's voice is very calm.
"He was the one who moved first."
Yu Liu was stunned, Naruto was stunned, and Hinata was also stunned.
"Did he move first?!"
She repeated it, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Impossible... how is it possible for the teacher... he is just a doctor..."
"He's not a doctor."
Ning Xue interrupted her.
"He's one of those guys who wears flying machines."
Yu Liu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You... what did you say..."
"I said those ninjas who attacked the village were his people."
Ning Xue's voice is still calm.
"He led me there and deliberately asked me to kill him, just to make you hate me, to breed the darkness in your heart, and to resurrect Zero-Tails."
Yu Liu was stunned.
Her mouth was open and no sound came out.
"Impossible..."
She shook her head, her voice hoarse.
"It's impossible... teacher, he... he's so kind to me... how could he..."
"You don't have to believe it."
Ning Xue turned around and continued climbing up.
"But what I said is the truth."
And the other side.
Feeling the inexplicable extra Dark Chakra, Shinnō feels strange.
"Yu Liu, that guy, has darkness arisen in his heart again?"
