As the sun set, I gently pulled Hatata back. Hatata's face was red as she let me hold her hand.
"Naruto, I'm here." Hatata looked at the road ahead. I looked up and saw that it was true. Hinata's house was only a short distance away from here. Moreover, the Hyuga Clan's main gate was already within sight.
I gently let go of Hinata's hand and said,""Be careful." Then, he gently kissed Hinata's forehead. Hatata was stunned for a moment as if she couldn't understand why I would say such a thing. However, my kiss on her forehead made her forget all her doubts. Then, she walked back home with a red face.
When I saw Hatata walk through the door, I relaxed a little, but I slowly tensed up. Then, I let out a sigh of relief and said with a straight face,"Alright, come out! Aren't you tired after following us for so long?”
Bang! A middle-aged ninja appeared five meters in front of me. He was wearing a tight black shirt and didn't wear a forehead guard. There was nothing special about him. His appearance was also very ordinary, so ordinary that he could not be remembered in the blink of an eye. He should be the kind of person who could not be found in a crowd.
"Who are you?" I asked. Why did he appear here? What's your motive for following me for so long?”
"My name is Guarding." "Why are you here?" the ninja asked calmly. Because of my purpose! I only have one goal, and that is to kill you.”
"I don't seem to have anything to do with you!" Do you have any reason to kill me?"
"Taking someone's money to eliminate a disaster!" "Someone paid me to take your life," Guxiang said indifferently. As he spoke, a trace of killing intent began to emanate from his body.
"Is that so?" I smiled calmly. I could clearly feel the killing intent coming from him. I knew that he must have killed many people. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to emit killing intent. The murderous aura was something that only a person who had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies could have.
Fortunately, the killing intent of the direction protection was not thick. It was only a trace. From the looks of it, the direction protection should have just grasped this ability. I let out a sigh of relief. If the killing intent protecting me had been a little thicker, I probably wouldn't have been as simple as I was now.
I looked at the guard in front of me and began to wonder who sent this person. Although I have many enemies, like Akatsuki, Orochimaru, the other Ninja villages, and even Koba. All of them could be my enemies, but it was almost impossible now. Xiao's goal was to collect the tail beasts, so they definitely wouldn't come to take my life. They would only capture me alive. Even if Xiao wanted to kill me, they wouldn't need to hire assassins to kill me. He directly attacked. Finally, and most importantly, the members of Dawn should not know that I am the Nine Tails 'Pillar of Strength. Therefore, Xiao ruled it out. Then, Orochimaru. I haven't interacted with Orochimaru yet. If he pays attention to Koba, he might as well pay attention to Sasuke instead of me. After all, I only have the strength of a Nine-Tailed Human Pillar, and I don't have the Shura Eye. Therefore, Orochimaru was also excluded. As for the other Ninja villages, that was even more impossible. Even though it had been a long time since the war had ended, they would not be allowed to enter other villages without a proper reason. In this case, only Mu Ye was left.
Could it be that Muye's higher-ups are going to make a move on me? However, it shouldn't be the case yet. After all, the third-generation successor was still fine, and he probably wouldn't agree to such a thing. Moreover, if he killed me, the nine tails in my body would also disappear. This wasn't a good thing for Mu Ye. After all, every Ninja Village now had human-shaped weapons like the Pillar Strength. This was to balance the power of the Great Ninja Village. Once Muye loses my human pillar strength, his tail beast strength will be slightly weaker. Moreover, for those higher-ups who only know how to fight for power, it's far better to think of a way to control me than to kill me. Therefore, Mu Ye didn't seem very likely.
However, this way, there doesn't seem to be any reason for any force to come and take my life. If that's the case, then how could the person in front of me be? Although my brain was thinking. However, he still looked at the guard in front of him warily.
"Follow me." "It's not convenient to fight here. Let's go somewhere else."”"Don't even think about escaping. I know who that girl is." If you don't want her to avoid my attacks every day.”
"I hate people who use other people's lives to threaten me." Especially the woman I love."
"Humph. What does a little brat know about love!" Hu Xiang coldly snorted.
"It's not up to you to decide whether you understand or not.”I replied coldly.
The guard looked at me and said,"Follow me!"”Then, he jumped off the roof and left the place. I took a look and immediately chased after him. The guard turned to look at me and saw that I was on the roof of two houses behind him. Guard thought to himself, Looks like his speed isn't bad.”Then, he increased his speed and charged forward. I frowned slightly. When I stepped on the roof, I increased my speed and chased after him.
"We're here." When we walked past the academy and entered the forest, I knew that something was wrong. However, I didn't expect that Guarding actually brought me to the empty space behind the academy. It was where I spent the entire afternoon with Hinata.
"You bastard!" "So you're the one who's been following us. Tell me, what's your purpose?" I asked coldly.”
" It was indeed me who followed you this afternoon. I've already told you my purpose. As for why I'm here?" I just want you to die in a place with memories. This is my gift to you. After all, dying in a place with his own memories was a happy thing!”" Oh, right. I know that the girl who accompanied you during the day is the eldest daughter of the Sunrise Clan. However, I don't want to offend the Sunrise Clan so easily. Therefore, thanks to her, you can live for a few more hours."”
I let out a sigh of relief. At least this person was still worried about the Hinata clan. As long as Shinata didn't threaten him, he shouldn't harm Shinata. But I won't give him the chance to harm Hinata. Besides, I don't want to die here.
I reached out my hand and pulled out a bitter pill from my thigh."If you want to kill me, then it will depend on your strength.”I raised my Kunai and rushed towards the protective barrier.
Hu Xiang smiled calmly and took out a Kunai. "You're dead." Then, with a 'ch', he shielded my Kunai with Kunai."Not bad strength! Interesting."
"Humph!" I exerted force at the same time as Huxiang. After all, Huxiang was an adult. The strength in his hands was greater than mine. Soon, my bitterness was gradually suppressed by him. I frowned slightly and then used force to block Huxiang. Then, my body jumped back to increase the distance. He looked at the guard quietly.
"It's already not bad for a twelve-year-old child to have your strength. Unfortunately, a child's strength is definitely unable to surpass mine. You'd better die obediently!" He held the Kunai in his hand and slashed at my head from the left. If I didn't do anything, my head would probably be cut open by him!
I looked at the Kunai that was slashing at me and quickly crouched down. Then, I held the Kunai with my back hand and stabbed it towards my heart with both hands. Hu Xiang was shocked because his pain didn't even touch my head. It didn't even touch my hair, but I was about to stab his heart. Shifting his body slightly to the side, he avoided this fatal blow. However, his clothes were torn by me.
Seeing that I had only managed to pierce through the clothes that were protecting me, I immediately used the momentum of my charge to jump up. A cold light flashed past, and the protective Kunai only cut off a portion of my hair. I landed on the ground and didn't stop. I immediately jumped forward again. As expected, after the first time he didn't cut me, he immediately rushed forward. However, I had already jumped away, so this time he didn't even cut my hair. I continued to roll forward a few times before stopping on a tree trunk. Only then did I turn to look at Huxiang.
The guard looked at me and stopped. He smiled faintly."Hmph, brat, you really have some ability! It can actually pierce through my clothes." Then, he paused slightly and said with a cold expression,"But brat, I'm going to use all my strength. I wonder how long you can last under my hands?”
"Humph, then we'll have to see how capable you are.”I coldly said. At the same time, I tightly gripped my Kunai as my eyes stared at the guard opposite me.
He looked at me protectively and suddenly threw the bitter herb in his hand at me. Ku Ai's speed was extremely fast and he quickly arrived in front of me. At this moment, Hu Xiang appeared behind me and shouted,"Go to hell, brat." He was already holding a Kunai in his hand. The sharp Kunai directly stabbed down. At the same time, the Kunai that he shot out was already close to my body.
"What a fast speed!" I turned my head and saw the guard suddenly appear behind me and raise his hands at the same time. My heart let out a sigh of surprise. Then, with a 'pu' sound, the Kunai in my hand quickly and accurately stabbed into my head. The Kunai directly sank into the hilt, and the Kunai that was shot out from the beginning also hit my heart.
