When Ning Xue ran onto the street, the alarm sound of Konoha also sounded.
He didn't pay attention to the crowds of people running around him, but jumped onto the roof and rushed home as fast as he could.
At this time, a purple barrier rose in the direction of the Chunin Ninja Exams venue, and you could vaguely see the shadows of gold sand, trees and water, and even a huge Rasengan outside the barrier.
When Ning Xue was galloping on the roof, he glanced back, but it was this glance that also allowed him to see more clearly the situation of the main venue in the distance.
"No, we have to hurry up."
He shouted in his heart, gathering more Chakra on his legs, and his speed soared again, turning into a galloping white shadow on the continuous roof.
He ignored the explosions in the distance and the panic shouting on the street, and had only one thought in his mind: ensuring the safety of his mother.
The distance that usually needs to be walked was drastically shortened under the full force of the rush.
When he finally saw his familiar house, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Other Hyuga tribesmen began to evacuate around them.
"Mother!" Ning Xue pushed open the door and shouted urgently.
Inside the house, mother was standing in the middle of the living room, her face slightly pale. When she saw Ning Xue coming back, she quickly put one hand behind her back.
The anxious Ning Xue did not pay attention to this detail. Seeing that his mother had packed a simple emergency package, he felt a little relieved.
"Ning Xue, outside..."
"There is no time to explain, mother!" Ning Xue's tone was more urgent than ever before, "Konoha is under attack, we must go to the shelter immediately!"
He spoke concisely and to the point. When my mother heard what he said, she nodded solemnly.
"Okay, let's go."
Ning Xue Without saying a word, he squatted down in front of his mother.
"Come up, I'll carry you! It's so fast!"
The mother hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was not the time to be polite. When she put her arms around her child's neck, she suddenly realized that Ning Xue's shoulders had become so generous for some time.
Ning Xue felt the weight of his mother, and only one word came to his mind.
"Light."
But now it was too late to think too much. He took a deep breath and rushed out of the house again.
The streets were even more chaotic than before, with sounds of running and crying everywhere, and even ninja costumes that did not belong to Konoha appeared in the distance.
Ning Xue carried her mother on her back and quickly shuttled between the rooftops, all the way smoothly.
They rushed towards the nearest shelter.
"Hold on, mother, we're almost there." He noticed that his mother's breathing was a little rapid and comforted her in a low voice.
"I'm fine, Ning Xue, please be careful."
His mother's voice sounded in his ears, with an imperceptible tremor.
On the way, they met several Chunin who were guiding the crowd.
"Turn left in front of the shelter! Don't crowd, evacuate in an orderly manner!"
Hearing that the shelter was on the left, Ning Xue quickened his pace again. He could hear the sound of increasingly fierce fighting coming from the direction of the barrier.
Finally, the entrance with the thick reinforced door appeared in front of you.
At the entrance, several Konoha Ninja were maintaining order and guiding the incoming people.
"Hurry in! Don't crowd, enter in an orderly manner!" A jounin commanded loudly.
Ning Xue carried her mother on her back and followed the crowd to the entrance.
The ninja in charge saw that the visitor was also a ninja and stopped him.
"Hey, kid, this is a civilian shelter."
Ning Xue stopped, quickly put his mother down, and said to the ninja.
"My mother is a civilian, so I will send her in."
The ninja looked at Ning Xue, and then the pale-faced woman behind him stepped aside to make a gap.
"Come in, civilians! Ninjas have other tasks. Come out and report immediately after settling in!"
Ning Xue nodded and carried his mother to a safe area before putting her down.
"It's okay, mother, it's safe here."
His mother grabbed his arm worriedly.
"Ning Xue, you..."
"I'm fine," Ning Xue interrupted her with a steady look, "Don't worry, I will be fine. I am a ninja and I have my own responsibilities."
(I just told my mother this to give her some comfort.)
The mother looked at her son's solemn look, and for a moment she seemed to see Ning's figure.
But what followed was deeper worry.
She was afraid... she was afraid that her child would die in the war like his father.
What's more, she doesn't seem to have much time for herself.
"It's okay, mother." Ning Xue comforted her for the last time, then turned and walked towards the exit.
My mother looked at Ning Xue's retreating back and felt heartbroken.
She let go of the corner of her clothes that she had been holding tightly, and there was a little bit of blood stained there that was not easy to detect.
She clasped her hands together and silently prayed for the child, hoping that he would return safely.
"Ning Xue! Great! You are indeed here!"
Sugiyama Tetsu and Nakamura Daisuke ran over. They looked a little embarrassed, but they finally arrived safely near the entrance of the shelter.
"Where is aunt? Have you gone in?" Sugiyama Tetsu asked breathlessly.
"Yeah." Ning Xue responded, looking towards the increasingly chaotic scene in the distance.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the battlefield did not spread here.
But at this moment, a stern-looking Jonin shouted to the surrounding ninjas.
"Now we are short of manpower. The combat squad and Barrier Team are under great pressure and need support! We only need a few ninjas here to maintain order."
"All Chunin go to the front line to support the combat squad! Genin immediately formed a temporary team to be responsible for evacuation and rescuing civilians. Do you understand?"
His sharp gaze swept across the scene and happened to fall on Ning Xue, whom he had just met, and Sugiyama Tetsu and Nakamura Daisuke beside him.
"You three!" the Jonin pointed at them, his tone unquestionable, "Look at your age, Genin? You don't have time to be dazed!"
"The evacuation progress of the residents of the East District is too slow. Go to the East District immediately and help the civilians move to temporary shelter No. 3. Take action immediately!"
Nakamura Daisuke's face turned pale, and he shrank back subconsciously. Sugiyama Tetsuya's Adam's apple rolled, obviously he was a little afraid of facing danger.
Ning Xue took a deep breath, feeling nervous and scared at the same time. After all, it was his first time to experience such a large-scale battle.
"Okay... we get it."
To be honest, he actually doesn't want to care. The life and death of others is none of his business, as long as the people he cares about are alive.
But... I don't know why?
Ning Xue looked at the wailing crowds around and the children separated from their families in panic, and sighed.
But he... doesn't seem to be able to be so cold-blooded.
Uncle Teuchi lives in the core area, so there should be no problem.
So now.
"Ning Xue..." Sugiyama Tetsu looked at him. Although he was still scared in his heart, if he wanted to save others, he would take him with him.
Nakamura Daisuke also looked at him eagerly, but it was obvious that his inner thoughts were opposite to Sugiyama Tetsu's.
"Let's go."
Finally he made up his mind.
Ning Xue took a deep breath, said something to the two of them, and took the lead in walking towards the East District.
Forget it, do your best.
"Let's go!"
Sugiyama Tetsu gritted his teeth and followed.
And Nakamura Daisuke saw both of them leaving.
I stood there for a while, almost bursting into tears.
After being glared at by the jounin in the end, he had no choice but to follow him quickly.
"Hey, wait for me!!"
At this moment, the Chunin Ninja Exams venue.
Orochimaru picked four good players in his team and taught Four Violet Flames Formation to trap Sarutobi Hiruzen inside and have a righteous 4v1 with him.
Outside the venue was Jiraiya who rushed to the scene.
"Old man, witness the destruction of Konoha with your own eyes! Haha."
