The crystalline shadow flickered, as if it had a life of its own. Only the girl could hear the sorrowful singing of the undead.
Time passed, and no one was given a chance to breathe. In the end, they had to face…the next red crescent moon.
After showering in the evening, Starry Night asked for a private room.
She said," Money is not a problem."
The reason was," I haven't been sleeping well recently."
He closed the door and looked around. Being vigilant was an instinctive reaction. After confirming, he put down his luggage and did not make the bed. Instead, he leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep.
She didn't need sleep now, and she couldn't waste it! Time ticked by, and Starry Night closed his eyes to rest.
She was thinking, thinking about the next countermeasure.
She was waiting, waiting for the right moment.
He only had one goal, and that was to leave! He could not be detected by anyone. If he could make it in time, he would be back tomorrow morning. This was also the reason why he did not share a room with others.
He was afraid that a little negligence would affect the entire plan.
Her face was hidden in the shadow of the moonlight. The summer breeze blew, and her silver-white hair swayed gently, shining softly under the moonlight. His calm face was as exquisite as a beautiful doll, and it was not allowed to touch this short period of peace.
[Ring!] A melodious and crisp bell rang. It was the endless sound of excitement coming from the pendant on her chest.
At this moment! Under the enhancement of the Night Illumination, the blood-red eyes flickered with a strange light. It was like a pair of sharp eyes in the shadows, making people shudder.
He stood up and bit his finger, causing the blood to flow out.」What appeared was the spiritual beast that had accompanied him for a long time.
Sky Shadow moved its tail arrogantly and bit the girl's scarlet sword before handing it over to her. Looking down at his master, his gaze stopped on the pendant that was already as transparent as a mirror.
[Tonight?] He sniffed the surrounding air with his nose and tied Fei Jian to his waist.
He closed his eyes indifferently, making it impossible for others to see his current feelings.
Sky Shadow saw her silence and told her the information he had received before,"There is a small village in the northeast of our current location. It is a place where terrorists gather."」
[What about the distance?] He walked to the windowsill and calculated the fastest time he could reach before midnight.
"Five kilometers. We can arrive in half a minute.」
There was still an hour before midnight. She was the first to jump out of the window, followed by Sky Shadow. The sound was as small as a bird disturbing the trees, so no one noticed it.
Riding on Tian Ying's back, he disappeared from the grass in an instant, hurrying on with his fastest speed.
Sky Shadow's speed was several times faster than Starry Night's, just as he had said! Even if they were suspected, it was impossible to catch up easily. However, on the way, they heard unexpected words,"We're being followed."」
His alertness allowed him to probe backwards and sense signs of chakras. Although it was not easy to follow, he still had to eliminate any possibility.
Starry Night bent down and whispered in Tian Ying's ear,"Stop him."」
She flipped over and jumped onto the ground. She did not stop moving as she looked up at the sky! The reflection of the moon entered his eyes, and his footsteps gradually quickened.
Hiding in the bushes, he noticed that the trees around him were not changing at all. It was as if they were going around in circles. He stopped in place and only heard the sound of the wind. He drew his sword and aimed at the huge tree in front of him.
Illusion! Just as he had expected, the moment the tree was cut down, the surroundings seemed to be sucked into a vortex and turned into a large piece of barren land. He planned to continue moving forward, but he vaguely sensed something and stopped.
[It's so late. Where are you planning to go?]」It was the same smile, but it was less greedy and more guarded.
[Move aside.] His tone was like a command.
Starry Night obviously didn't have time to fool around with him. His expression was normal, but he was impatient.
"That can't be helped. You're my student, so I can't ignore your affairs.」At the end, his expression became serious. He had long realized that something was wrong. After the day, the abnormal silence of Starry Night caught his attention. At night, he did not sleep and observed the changes in Starry Night Room.
And just as Kakashi had expected, she had made a move! He found Red and Asma to track them down, and they were the ones who were stopped by Sky Shadow and used the illusion just now. It could be seen that Naruto and the others did not know about this.
[Weren't you having fun this morning? Why did he suddenly feel strange at night?」The two of them stared at each other, causing the surrounding atmosphere to freeze. Starry Night's gaze was fixed on the path behind Kakashi, and he closed his eyes to think about the next countermeasure.
[Ring!] Ring!" The pendant let out a second bell like sound, as if it was warning something that was about to happen.
This voice could only be heard by Starry Night.
After making up his mind, he gripped the hilt of his sword with his left hand.
She didn't intend to waste any more time. If there was really no other way now, she could only fight. In a flash, he appeared in front of Kakashi and swung his sword down. However, due to his Shura Eye, he was unable to achieve the desired effect, and the attack was blocked.
[What exactly are you planning to do?] Kakashi gripped his hands tightly.
There was no response, followed by continuous slashes. There was no killing intent under the sword, but it was a move that showed no mercy. This made Kakashi break out in cold sweat. A battle without killing intent would have no result at all. He clearly knew this! However, he could only move forward.
She never ran away, but she didn't have much time left. She tried to shake him off several times, but she was stopped by him.
What was the meaning of this? One night was enough, but he still had to come and mess things up…
He had clearly treated her as a traitor and left her alone. Why did he still chase after her?
" I'll say it again, move aside!" Her voice was unusually calm, but her eyes were inexplicably anxious. The hand holding the sword could not help but tremble.
Kakashi still had no intention of backing down. He did not know Starry Night's reason, and even if he asked, she would not say anything.
Her heart was hard to fathom.
He knew that Starry Night must have something he had to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it to this extent! She thought that after what happened this morning, she might be able to try to accept Naruto and the others, but she did not expect such a big change.
He left without saying a word. How could she be so cruel to the children's feelings?
[Don't you care about their concern for you at all?」
Her voice was as cold as a lake, and even her heart would freeze.」
She never cared about what others thought, nor did she allow their love and sympathy.
There was no need, and there was no need! This was what he had always believed in. Even when he came to Muye, this thought had not changed at all!
No one could open up the wall of her heart.
Their worries were just a personal insult to her!
It wasn't heartless. Everything was just fate! And the " fate " that controlled her life and death, was it just a meaningless game of God?
Her low cry conveyed a trembling echo that did not belong to her.
Her sorrow was an endless abyss that no one had ever experienced.
In this moment of despair, it was already late. The moon was brilliant, shining with silvery-white light. The transparent pendant was shining with an unknown color.
[Ring!] Ring! Ring!" Starry Night heard the third ringtone, accompanied by a sharp and clear echo,"Time's up!" Time was up! It's time for punishment!"
It was a voice unique to a little girl. It was like an elven voice advocating sarcasm!
[You will regret it.] He curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner. His bloody pupils were completely covered by his bangs as he muttered,"I regret ignoring my warning."」
[What?] Kakashi could vaguely sense that the pendant was emitting a strange blood-red light.
Starry Night's chest instantly revealed a huge force, far more shocking than any tail beast's chakra force, rushing up from the soles of his feet!
Sky Shadow arrived in time. When he saw this scene, he shouted in the direction of the two figures,"Leave quickly!"」
Kakashi was lost in shock, not knowing who he was shouting at, but he did react immediately and jumped away. The ground shook, and the force was enough to uproot the trees.
When the movement stopped, the grass and trees within a hundred meters of the girl disappeared, and the ground caved in to form a shallow hole.
In the middle stood a person who was safe and sound. He could feel the strange chakra. It was indeed Hong Lian! However, it also seemed to be mixed with other unknown forces. Starry Night's eyes were still blood-red.
"This is already within the range of his subconscious control. If he loses his mind, he might even be able to swallow the entire Fire Country!」
Sky Shadow stared at the girl's figure. Such a judgment made it seem as if the same thing had happened before.
Kakashi felt a dangerous killing intent and pressure emanating from Starry Night's body, so he prepared himself.
[What is this power?]
"Red Lotus is currently fusing with her own chakra. Judging from the situation, she may have already taken over the mind and body.」
[Why did this happen to her?」
She was fine just now, but she suddenly exploded with such shocking power. Could this be the warning she was talking about?
"I'll explain after everything is over. It's best to resolve the current situation first.」
Kakashi had also considered this problem, and his gaze was fixed on the girl in front of him."Then what does she plan to do next?」
[Soul! It's equivalent to Red Lotus 'food."
This crucial sentence made all explanations unnecessary.
"Now, it has already taken over the body. Until the chakras of Starry Night are exhausted, it will not be able to return to its original state.」
[Soul? She left without saying a word just to kill someone?!」
Kakashi was astonished by this result, and Sky Shadow's silence was the answer to this statement.
[This won't do!]
The familiar voice diverted their attention. It was no longer as calm and indifferent as usual. It was as if they had become different people. Their expressions were still silent, and their blood-red eyes were unfocused. Their tone was arrogant and sarcastic.
"Children who are disobedient must be punished.」
The pendant on his chest seemed to respond and shone with color. The originally transparent pendant was now tainted with a turbid red.
As he finished speaking, he slowly raised the crimson sword in his hand and stabbed it mercilessly into his right hand. As if he could not feel the pain, he stabbed deeply and pulled it out fiercely. Blood flowed out of the wound, stained it, and fell.
[Stop!] Kakashi knew that the person in front of him was not Starry Night, but Red Lotus, who possessed her own consciousness. Although he could not quite believe it, he could only believe it now.
He paused and looked in the direction of the voice. His empty eyes narrowed slightly, which was a habit of Starry Night.
Pointing the blade at Kakashi, he licked the corner of his lips playfully, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes." Your soul…"
As he spoke, a bell that made one tremble rang out and entered Kakashi's ears.
[I'll take it!]
A sword was cut in his chest for no reason. Pain spread throughout his entire body, and his pupils constricted!
Kakashi had indeed seen the swift movement, but he was unable to resist and fell to the ground powerlessly.
She turned to look at the white figure that had suddenly appeared. Sky Shadow had blocked it in time, allowing Kakashi to escape a fatal blow. However, that merciless attack had left a serious wound on its back.
But it didn't cause any flaws in Sky Shadow.」
Kakashi wasn't a Medical Ninja, so he couldn't treat his own injuries, but walking around wasn't a problem.」
"Then stand up and leave this place!」
