"You're hurt," Uchiha Naraku said, looking at Yuugao. Her clothes were torn, and a wound on her abdomen was bleeding profusely. For some reason, Naraku felt a pang of sympathy.
As expected, I still like girls!
Naraku was very happy internally. Still straight.
"It's nothing, just a small wound. Please, save my teacher. He's trapped by the enemy's Water Prison Technique."
Yuugao looked very worried.
"It won't take long."
Naraku extended her slender, jade-like hand and pretended to make a hand seal. Then, she touched Yuugao's waist before pressing her glowing green hand onto Yuugao's abdomen...
Yuugao didn't expect Naraku to be so straightforward. She felt a slight itch in her wound and took a step back, feeling uncomfortable.
"All better?"
Yuugao looked at her healed wound in surprise, not expecting Naraku's Medical Ninjutsu to be so powerful.
"Um... I'm injured too..."
The boy under the tree spoke weakly, but Naraku didn't even glance at him.
You're a woman, shouldn't you be more interested in me? What's going on with the world?
The boy was ranting in his head.
"Your teacher should have been rescued. I have something to do, I'll be going."
Naraku had intended to be a good Samaritan to the end, but suddenly she felt a familiar chakra energy rapidly approaching.
Last time, Naraku had encountered it through the Ocean Wyvern's senses, so the memory was particularly fresh. It was Hatake Kakashi's chakra.
Since Kakashi was coming, there would be no problem for the Jonin in Yuugao's team to be saved.
If she were caught, a barrage of questioning would be a bad thing, so she had to make a run for it.
"Wait... Miss... May I ask, what's your name? So I can..."
"No need. We'll meet again if fate allows..."
Naraku reached out and touched little Yuugao's face. You see, being a woman is sometimes quite convenient...
Then, she activated the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from the spot.
Yuugao, standing on the tree, was somewhat lost in thought. Just who was that girl? She was truly strong, and had such a warm presence.
About a few minutes later, a Konoha Jonin, soaked to the bone, and several Anbu quickly arrived in the forest.
"Sensei, you're really alright!"
Yuugao was overjoyed to see her teacher had been rescued. How did that girl know her teacher had been saved?
Could she also be a member of the Anbu?
"Are you alright? What about those enemies just now?"
The Konoha Jonin was puzzled. Those two Kirigakure Chunin were definitely not a match for his two disciples.
He looked at the raging fire in the distance, within the forest, could it be…
"A girl wearing a mask just saved us! She used Fire Style to burn all those enemies to death!"
Before Yuugao could speak, the boy standing below chimed in first.
"A girl wearing a mask? Tell me what happened, from the beginning."
A cat-faced Anbu stepped forward; this cat-faced Anbu was none other than Hatake Kakashi.
Such a large-scale Fire Style ninjutsu, it was best to investigate thoroughly.
The boy recounted the entire incident from start to finish, and finally, added with a touch of sourness:
"That girl looked to be about the same age as us, but not only was her Fire Style ninjutsu outstanding, her Medical Ninjutsu was also incredibly powerful. Yuugao's abdominal wound was healed in just a few seconds."
(Medical Ninjutsu? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?)
Hatake Kakashi shook his head. He didn't know why, but lately, whenever something happened, he always thought of that girl who looked so much like Rin.
(But, this time it really is similar... Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation, these ninjutsu are too characteristic of the Uchiha.)
(Next time, I'll go to the Uchiha Clan and take a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains...)
Kakashi didn't know why, but he felt a little anticipation. At this moment, he couldn't wait to fly back to Konoha to investigate the Uchiha clan grounds.
The sky gradually brightened. Naraku was lying on the back of the Ocean Wyvern, flying. Sure enough, the feeling of soaring in the sky was really great.
This feeling was much more enjoyable than taking a plane.
"Naraku, are you sure this is the right direction?"
The Ocean Wyvern's voice echoed.
Naraku was used to it by now. The young Ocean Wyverns hadn't been able to speak, but ever since this one had grown up...
"Miss Naraku, the journey is so boring, let me tell you a joke..."
Uchiha Naraku: ...
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Naraku. She went out to buy groceries. She went to the market intending to buy a cucumber, but who would have thought, she bought a sweet potato! Hahaha..."
Uchiha Naraku: ...
"Let me tell you another one..."
"Once upon a time, there was a child named Naraku. She went to the market to buy vegetables, intending to buy a potato, but ended up buying a sweet potato! Wahahahaha…"
Uchiha Naraku: …
"Miss Naraku, let me tell you…"
"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll roast you like an Ocean Wyvern in hellfire!"
"Alright, alright… How about I tell you a story… Once upon a mountain…"
"If you drag this out any longer, I'll kill you!!!"
Next time before I go out, I'm definitely buying a roll of tape to shut this idiot up.
Time passed quickly, and soon dusk arrived. The forest ended on the horizon.
An endless desert appeared.
Naraku hadn't expected the Ocean Wyvern's speed to be so impressive. In less than a day, they had already reached the Land of Wind.
"System, can I check in above the Desert Ninja Village?"
Naraku was playing it smart. It would be best if she could just fly around the ninja village. If she had to sneak in, they probably wouldn't agree.
If things went wrong, it could turn into a fierce battle.
[Impossible, Naraku-chan. You have to land and check in at the center of the village for it to count...]
"Alright, alright."
Well, it seems I won't be able to slack off.
And having that Ocean Wyvern fly over would probably be seen as a declaration of war, which is also out of the question.
Maybe tonight, under the cover of darkness, sneaking into the village would be the safest option.
Uchiha Naraku instructed the Ocean Wyvern to fly behind a sand dune to land. After Uchiha Naraku performed the hand seals to dispel the Summoning Technique, she poked her head out to observe the village in the distance.
What a shock!
The village didn't look very big, maybe four or five thousand square meters. Thick smoke was billowing out of the village.
It didn't look like cooking smoke; a lot of the houses were on fire.
What's going on? Has something happened?
