Late at night, in this quiet cave, Uchiha Lei completely conquered Pakura with illusions.
Queen Sunagakure Scorch Release, who was once proud and arrogant, has since completely changed her family and willingly joined Uchiha Lei, becoming his most loyal subordinate.
The night is dark and the moonlight shines over the wasteland.
Uchiha Lei slowly walked out of the cave with a brand new and completely surrendered Pakura.
The evening breeze fluttered their robes, and Pakura followed closely beside Uchiha Lei, with a gentle and respectful attitude, without any trace of the arrogance of the past.
She raised her eyes and looked at the tall back in front of her, her eyes full of surrender and admiration.
Abandoning the ruthless Sunagakure and surrendering to the invincible strong man in front of her was the most correct choice in her life.
"Master, where are we going next?" Pakura spoke softly, with an extremely gentle tone.
"Master doesn't like me, so you'd better call me Lei."
Uchiha Lei raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Konoha, with a faint smile on his lips:
"Go find Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi, join the team, and continue moving forward."
Pakura nodded and replied:
"Okay, Ray!"
After the words fell, he stepped out, and in the night, two figures, one behind the other, galloped steadily towards the distance on the moonlit yellow sand.
An hour later~
The two came to the border area of the yellow sand where they and Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi left separately during the day.
"We'll be at our separate locations soon."
Uchiha Lei's footsteps paused slightly, a deep voice sounded in the silent desert, and his eyes scanned the familiar sand dune landscape around him.
At this moment, he frowned slightly, and his keen perception instantly spread out, covering hundreds of meters around him.
The super perception that has been tempered by countless battlefields accurately captured two extremely familiar Chakra fluctuations at this moment!
The two Chakra, one steady and the other soft, are extremely recognizable. They are the calm and concise Lightning Release Chakra of Kakashi, and the delicate and gentle illusion Chakra of Kurenai Yuhi!
"Is there anyone?"
Pakura beside him was instantly alert, a thin layer of scorching heat Chakra quietly appeared all over his body, and a scalding heat wave faintly condensed in his palms. He was ready to enter combat mode at any time, and his beautiful eyes looked warily into the depths of the night.
After all, this is the desolate border Gobi, and there are countless unknown dangers lurking at night, so we dare not slack off at all.
Uchiha Lei raised his hand and gently pressed her arm, soothing her nervousness, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Don't be nervous, we are our own, Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the huge, rugged stone wall in the distance:
"It's in the crack in the stone wall over there. It seems like they didn't go far during the day. They should have been resting in place."
When Pakura heard this, the tension around Chakra instantly dissipated, and a trace of surprise flashed across his cold face:
"It's strange that they would look for a place to find a crack that could hide people."
"I guess they were worried about the dangers of the desert at night, so they rested in place and waited for the rendezvous."
Uchiha Lei explained lightly, then no longer hesitated and walked towards the crack in the stone wall.
Pakura nodded lightly and followed his footsteps. The two of them walked side by side through the cool yellow sand and walked towards the depths of the night.
The night was quiet, the evening wind was bleak, and two figures drew slender silhouettes in the vast Gobi desert.
Not long after, the two of them arrived under the huge stone wall.
The deep cracks in the stone wall block the biting night wind and form an excellent shelter.
Inside the crack, two familiar figures were resting against the wall.
Kakashi Hatake, who was wearing Anbu uniform and a black mask, put one hand behind his head and looked lazy and relaxed, but there was a constant vigilance hidden in his eyes.
Kurenai Yuhi on the side hugged his knees with his hands, his silky black hair fluttering slightly in the night wind, his delicate face with a hint of loneliness, and he was quietly looking at the dark night sky in trance.
Sensing the two approaching auras, Kakashi was the first to raise his eyes, looking at them lazily, with a hint of a smile in his tone:
"It seems you had a smooth trip and came back safely."
Kurenai Yuhi also immediately raised his head, his clear eyes instantly locked on Uchiha Lei in front of him, and a flash of light instantly lit up in his eyes, hiding an unconcealable joy.
"Lei, you're back."
Kurenai Yuhi stood up, his voice soft and gentle, with obvious excitement.
Uchiha Lei nodded slightly and replied:
"The journey was uneventful. The desert was too risky at night. I convinced Pakura and rushed back."
"Are you convinced? Is it that easy?"
Kurenai Yuhi was a little disbelieving and looked at Pakura in front of him warily, but still said hello in good faith:
"Hello, I am Kurenai Yuhi."
"I am Kakashi Hatake," Kakashi also said hello.
"Hello!"
Pakura nodded slightly towards the two of them. His cool temperament and graceful figure gave him a unique charm.
The four of them met briefly and briefly exchanged information about their respective journeys, confirming that none of them had encountered an enemy sneak attack and that everything was fine.
It was already dark at this time, the pitch-black desert was completely blind, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature dropped sharply. It was not suitable to continue on the road at all.
Uchiha Lei looked around, scanned the surrounding terrain, and spoke in a deep voice:
"We can't walk tonight. The night wind is too cold, and it's easy to get lost while walking in the yellow sand at night. Let's find a nearby cave to rest for the night and set off again at dawn tomorrow."
"Okay," Kakashi agreed calmly without any objection.
The other two people also nodded in agreement.
The four of them stopped talking and searched along the stone wall, and soon found a spacious and dry Natural Rock Cave not far away.
The depth of the cave is moderate, which perfectly blocks the wind and yellow sand from the outside world. The ground is flat and clean, and there are no poisonous insects, snakes and ants, making it an excellent place to spend the night.
Everyone walked into the cave one by one. Kakashi was very conscious and found a seat near the entrance of the cave to sit down. He took the initiative to take on the task of guarding the sentry at night and quietly leaned against the stone wall with his eyes closed to relax and not disturb others.
The space inside the cave was instantly reserved for Uchiha Lei, Pakura and Kurenai Yuhi.
The night wind was cut off, and the cave was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Uchiha Lei looked at Pakura, who had a cold temperament and beautiful appearance beside him, and secretly planned in his heart.
He and Pakura have not known each other for a long time and have not interacted much. They just took advantage of the opportunity of being alone tonight to have a good chat, get closer to each other, and cultivate some feelings.
But as soon as his thoughts quietly emerged, he was completely seen through by the delicate and extremely sensitive Kurenai Yuhi!
Kurenai Yuhi glanced at Kurenai Yuhi's clear, watery eyes, and saw Uchiha Lei's gentle gaze falling on Pakura, and a strong jealousy suddenly appeared in his heart.
She may not care about others, but only Pakura, with her beautiful appearance, unique temperament, and powerful strength, is a perfect match for Uchiha Lei, which makes her full of a sense of crisis.
Never give the two of them the chance to be alone and ambiguous!
Kurenai Yuhi's mind quickly changed and he immediately made up his mind. Pretending to be well-behaved and sensible, he walked quickly between Uchiha Lei and Pakura and sat down cross-legged.
She raised her delicate little face, smiled softly and well-behaved, and spoke generously:
"You must be bored running all the way. I happen to be not sleepy, so you can just chat. Don't pay attention to me. I'll just sit here and rest!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became subtle.
Uchiha Lei:"..."
He couldn't see the little girl's little thoughts. She was clearly a jealous little girl who deliberately stepped in to block his chance to be alone with Pakura!
Pakura is also such a transparent person. Seeing the girl in front of him pretending to be generous but actually being very possessive, he couldn't help but curl up into a faint smile at the corner of his cold mouth, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Miss Hong is very considerate."
Pakura spoke softly, his voice cold and sweet.
"That's right! If we all hang out together, we should naturally take care of each other!"
Kurenai Yuhi straightened his back and spoke seriously, but his eyes secretly glared at Uchiha Lei, blatantly declaring his sovereignty.
Seeing this, Uchiha Lei laughed helplessly and did not reveal Kurenai Yuhi's little thoughts.
Since the little girl insists on being this "light bulb", then let her be.
