Chapter 142: How wonderful it would be if the moon could explode! A sudden black shadow appears!
This decisive battle! This slaughter! It was halted!
The turn of events!
Exceeded everyone's expectations!
Including Danzo, Uchiha Kagami, and others who were observing from a distance!
No one could have predicted!
In the very end!
Uzumaki Tatsumaru and Uzumaki Asashin would sacrifice their souls!
No one could have predicted!
That the Shinigami would possess such immense deterrent power!
When it appeared for the second time!
It directly scared away the Ninja from all the major powers!
Besides that!
There was one more thing that surprised everyone!
That was Uzumaki Ashina!
Not long after the Grandmaster and the Kumogakure Kage-level Ninja crossed the compound!
Uzumaki Ashina returned victorious!
From the mouth of this old-era powerhouse!
They also learned about the course of the Four Kage War!
However!
Whether it was the halt of the war, or Uzumaki Ashina's victorious return!
Neither could change one thing!
That is!
The Uzumaki Clan! Had truly reached a dead end!
After a rough estimation!
Currently, in Whirlpool Village! There were fewer than forty surviving Ninja!
And after removing those who were severely injured and had lost their combat ability!
The Ninja capable of fighting numbered just over twenty!
Including Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group! They were only a little over thirty people!
To turn the tide against such odds! It was simply a joke!
Late at night! Stars dotted the sky!
The southern sea breeze, like a roaring torrent!
Poured into the ruined Whirlpool Village!
Although physically and mentally exhausted!
Fujiwara Tetsuya felt no sleepiness at all at this moment!
Only a sense of confusion about the unknown!
After today's battle!
Although Whirlpool Village couldn't be described as nine out of ten houses empty, it had reached a state where every household was in mourning!
Sadness! Separation... had long become the invisible main theme!
Even now!
His mind kept replaying Uzumaki Meika's expression when she learned of Uzumaki Watari's death in battle!
It was an indescribable despair!
A hopelessness towards life!
"Tetsuya! You're here indeed!"
"Why, can't you sleep either!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought!
Senju Aoki's voice slowly came from behind Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Senju Aoki, after climbing onto the rooftop!
Came to Fujiwara Tetsuya's side, lying on his back with his hands behind his head on the aged tiles!
"Senior Aoki can't sleep either?"
To Senju Aoki's question!
Fujiwara Tetsuya did not respond directly! He merely asked a rhetorical question!
"That's right! Can't sleep..."
"This is probably the first time I've had insomnia since becoming an Elite Jonin!"
With a soft sigh!
Senju Aoki slowly replied!
"It's good that we can't sleep!"
"After all, we don't even know if we'll make it out alive!"
"Before dying in battle, perhaps admiring the moonlight in a foreign land is a good memory!"
Gazing at the bright moonlight in the sky!
Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly had an urge to make the moon explode!
Preferably, the one sealed in the moon! Could descend upon Whirlpool Village!
And with one slap, kill all those Grandmasters! All those unknown Kage-level Ninja from Kumogakure!
At least! The path to the Pure Land!
Would be much livelier!
"Tetsuya!"
Looking at the calm-faced Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Senju Aoki, after hesitating! His voice sounded low!
"Senior Aoki! Is there something you want to tell me!"
"This indecisive manner!"
"It's not like you!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya was not aware of Senju Aoki's intention!
But this did not prevent him from guessing that Senju Aoki genuinely had something to say to him!
After all!
If there was nothing to discuss!
An old man! On this starlit night! Coming to find a young boy!
This kind of scene! Looked abnormal no matter how you saw it!
"Hoo~"
"It's like this, Tetsuya!"
"If! I mean if!"
"If Whirlpool Village... truly reaches the point of destruction!"
"I hope you can take the members of the Thirteenth Squad and Seito and leave here!"
"Find a way to escape back to Konoha!"
"You and Seito and the others are still young! Your Ninja path should not end here!"
"Fujimaru and I! We will try our best to clear a path for you!"
At this moment!
Fujiwara Tetsuya finally understood! Why Senju Aoki's tone was so heavy!
It was a farewell!
And also a entrustment!
"Senior Aoki!"
"I understand what you mean!"
"If that moment truly comes! I will take Seito and the others and leave here!"
To Senju Aoki's request!
Fujiwara Tetsuya agreed without a second thought!
For Land of Whirlpools! For Whirlpool Village! For the Uzumaki Clan!
They had already done more than enough!
What he had worried about before! Was only how to escape and how to explain returning to Konoha after escaping!
But now!
Senju Aoki had conveniently solved it for him!
"You agreed?"
It should be said! Fujiwara Tetsuya's decisiveness!
Exceeded Senju Aoki's expectations!
It seemed! That the long-prepared speech!
Was swallowed back at that instant!
"Of course I'll agree!"
"Senior Aoki! You should know!"
"In my eyes! The safety of my comrades is far more important than the mission!"
"So! I will take them and leave!"
"Also! If you truly die in Whirlpool Village!"
"There will be a day! When I will personally settle this score with Hidden Mist Village! Kumogakure and these other powers!"
Senju Aoki and Fujiwara Tetsuya's conversation ended!
In the final moments!
Both fell silent!
Born into the Senju Clan!
Senju Aoki, who possessed a compassionate heart!
Did not wish for Fujiwara Tetsuya to be deeply consumed by hatred in the near future because of their deaths in battle!
However! That so-called compassionate rhetoric!
Could not shake Fujiwara Tetsuya's conviction at all!
His body was that of a child!
But his soul was not!
...Whoosh~
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya turned to leave!
A black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes!
This sudden movement!
Immediately raised the vigilance of Senju Aoki! And Fujiwara Tetsuya!
After exchanging glances!
The two looked in the direction the black shadow had left!
And decided to follow to see!
The black shadow's speed was not fast!
It seemed to be deliberately waiting for them!
After chasing for more than ten minutes!
Under a secluded tree shade!
The black shadow finally stopped!
"Who are you, sir!"
"What is your purpose in deliberately luring us out!"
At the moment of the low-voiced inquiry!
Senju Aoki had already held a kunai across his chest!
And Fujiwara Tetsuya! Slowly drew kirimaru!
Staring coldly at the black shadow in front!
"Since you know I deliberately lured you out!"
"You still dared to follow!"
"I must say! You two are truly bold!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you!"
With a light chuckle!
The black shadow slowly turned around!
However! Because the entire person was deeply shrouded in a pitch-black cloak!
Although Senju Aoki and Fujiwara Tetsuya had good eyesight!
They still could not clearly see the other party's true face!
However, the voice of the black shadow in front of him! Made Fujiwara Tetsuya feel a sense of familiarity!
"Bold, you say!"
"One could say that!"
"However! Senior Kagami! Are you sure you want to kill us!"
