"If that's the case, that Masked Man just now really was unfathomable! His strength was beyond anything we could imagine! But I'm very curious now. Why did he target you? Have you offended someone recently?" Uchiha Itachi stood beside Ruri and asked, looking at him.
"That's impossible! I've only fought the Cloud Ninja recently. There's no way I could have offended anyone else. Besides, I know how strong the Cloud Ninja are. There's no way they could have a monster like that among them!" Ruri said, looking at Uchiha Itachi after hearing his words.
Hearing Ruri's reply, Uchiha Itachi frowned and said quietly, "Then it doesn't make sense. Could he want something you have, or perhaps your organs, or..."
Before Uchiha Itachi could finish, Linghua Hyuga began shouting frantically, "Enough, enough! Stop talking! You're giving me goosebumps all over, and my hair is standing on end! It's absolutely terrifying. I don't even dare imagine it! What could his goal possibly be, for him to attack Ruri?"
"All right, all right, let's stop talking about this, or we'll scare Linghua out of her wits in a moment. She's easily frightened!" After hearing Reika Hyuga's words, Ruri stood up, brushed the dirt off himself, and spoke to the others.
"No matter who he is, not killing me just now was the deadliest mistake he could have made. I believe that one day, I'll definitely kill him with my own hands! My only worry is that he won't show up to face me that day!" Ruri said to the others with a smile.
It looks like I need to hurry up and get stronger! But I still can't figure out why he attacked me! Does he really want something I have? It looks like that ninja just now really is a hidden boss!
