Facing an enemy who was far stronger than him, the sense of powerlessness slowly revealed itself at this moment. It was originally a two-against-seven situation, and it was indeed unrealistic to want to win. Being able to kill five people was already an unimaginable achievement, but miracles could not happen forever. In the world of ninjas, strength represented everything.
When the short sword slashed in front of Chen Yan, his body slowly reacted. He had clearly used his Shura Eye to the extreme. Even if he had activated the Three Magatama, the fatigue of his body and the exhaustion of his chakra made his eyes hurt. His eyes saw his opponent's movements, but his body felt as if it was still sleeping.
"Chenyan!"
Uchiha Sakurano's shout seemed to have awakened her body from its slumber. How could she give up here! His body, which had experienced war, moved like a reflex. The Shura Eye locked onto the leader ninja's movements. He quickly threw out the Kuna in his hand. It only slightly blocked the leader ninja's movements, but it was all in time!
Drip…Drip…Drip…
Uchiha Sakurano closed her eyes, but the smell coming from her nose was strange and familiar. She gradually felt afraid. Everything happened too quickly. When the leader ninja attacked, the speed was so fast that Uchiha Sakurano and Chen Yan could not react. It was as if they were standing on the spot waiting to be slaughtered. Was this the strength of a Jounin? Or was it because he had been fighting until now and was exhausted to the end? Either way, his chest was already breathing air, letting Uchiha Sakurano know that he was still alive. But could he survive?
"What? That look in your eyes?”A weak voice came from above Uchiha Sakurano.
Holding the swaddled Naruko in his arms, Chen Yan was already struggling to speak. The blood that kept flowing out of his body dripped onto Uchiha Sakurano's forehead, making a dripping sound. Where did the blood come from? Back? Probably, because there seemed to be a short blade embedded there, and it deliberately avoided the vital parts? It seemed that their mission was indeed to capture and not kill. Although he had originally planned to use Whirlwind Naruto to block the blade, after Kuna threw it out, his hand subconsciously protected Whirlwind Naruto in front of him. His body turned around to block the short blade of the leader ninja. Why? Even Chen Yan himself didn't know. He was really an idiot.
"Chen, Chen Yan…"
Uchiha Sakurano's voice sounded a little shaky, but it was really impossible to see her expression clearly. Chen Yan could not even maintain his Sharunan. His black pupils were a little blurry, and all he could see was red blood and Uchiha Sakurano's tears.
"Don't worry, I've already deliberately avoided my vitals.”The leader ninja's voice carried a hint of a smile. It seemed that he had confirmed the completion of the mission and felt relaxed. He said,"I thought you would use this nine-tailed little ghost to block the knife. As expected, your mission is to protect this nine-tailed little ghost, right? Ninjas were just tools used to complete missions.”
Was it like this? Ninjas were props used to complete missions. If he thought about it this way, Chen Yan felt a little relieved. How could he do something like protecting a baby? Only by completing the mission would he be a ninja.
"Slash!"
The sound of the sword being pulled out of his body reached his ears, but his body unexpectedly felt nothing. Chen Yan's vision gradually dimmed. How many minutes had it been since the battle began? Five minutes? Three minutes? Everything had happened so quickly that he had no concept of time. The numb feeling from his back had already made his thoughts stiff.
" After dealing with this troublesome Nine-Tailed Human Pillar Strength, the only one left is you. I didn't want to kill more people, but since you chased me all the way here..." The leader ninja raised his bloodstained short sword and pointed it at Uchiha Sakurano, who was already kneeling on the ground and hugging Chen Yan, who was covered in blood.
"But Muye's ninjas are really weak. There's actually a tearful Chuunin. It's a waste to give you those eyes!”
" Damn it…Damn it…" Uchiha Sakurano seemed to have turned a blind eye to the dagger in front of her. She only hugged Chen Yan's body, tears falling from her eyes, mixed with blood, and dripped into the dust.
"Give me your Blood Wheel Eye!”The leader ninja's eyes were filled with greed. After all, no matter who it was, they would not reject something like the Shurunyan.
The short sword pierced towards Uchiha Sakurano's eyes.
Uchiha Sakurano, who had thought that she would give up resisting, suddenly tilted her head and stabbed the Kunai sword in her hand towards the ninja leader's chest. The ninja leader saw Uchiha Sakurano's eyes filled with hatred, and the shurun eyes that kept spinning from single hook jade to double hook jade!
However, the leader ninja seemed to have expected this. He also held the kunai in his other hand and knocked it down with a simple attack.
"Hmm? This gaze is like a ninja's, but it should belong to me. Those eyes…"
The Kuna in the leader ninja's hand did not stop. Instead, it was still aimed at Uchiha Sakurano's eyes. However, a figure took this opportunity to crash into the leader ninja's arms.
Chen Yan panted, and his black eyes were a little dazed. However, it was certain that the Kuai in his hand had accurately stabbed the enemy's heart. He had done this countless times. Even if he closed his eyes, he would not find the wrong place. If he wanted to confirm it, he only needed to raise his head slightly...
Trembling was obviously a very easy action, but now it was extremely difficult to do it. The eyes reflected the disbelief of the leader ninja, as well as the hope for life and the fear of death.
What? He kept talking about ninjas. So, before he died, he had the same gaze. Everyone was the same, wasn't it?
"Plop."
The leader ninja, who had suffered a fatal blow, held his short sword and Kuna and fell backward. Chen Yan looked at the last remaining Chuunin. As long as he killed that person... he would be safe. He did not need any external help and would be safe. He had forced himself to this point not to be a hero or anything. Although it was fine to give Uzumaki Naruko to the enemy, it was fine to use Uzumaki Naruko as a shield. Although it was fine to abandon the cumbersome Uchiha Sakurano in times of danger. After all, the rules were like that. But what if he couldn't do it? Was it because of the mission? Ninjas had to complete the mission no matter what, or…was he really an idiot?
His mind was filled with wild thoughts, and he tried his best to stay awake. The chuunin in front of him retreated step by step under Chen Yan's gaze. His back became colder and colder, and the scene in front of him finally darkened completely.
"Plop."
A second person fell beside the leader ninja.
