Chapter 463 Heartbreak

Konohamaru didn't understand the meaning, or maybe he did, but he was deceiving himself.

[She doesn't hate me.] Konohamaru thought to himself.

He looked directly into Uchiha Aoi's eyes, which made the flame in his heart burn brighter.

"I won't give up, Aoi."

"Although you are excellent and powerful, I know that even if I try my best, it will still be very difficult to catch up with you."

"But I won't give up."

"Because I'm not without hope."

"I will seek out excellent and powerful ninjas and learn from them with an open mind."

"One day, I will grow into someone I'll be proud of."

"And you, Aoi."

"Your lead jonin is just an ordinary jonin. This is your weakness."

"Believe me, only a strong ninja can teach a strong ninja."

"One day! I will surpass you!"

Uchiha Aoi's expression finally turned cold.

Unlike his previous calmness or frown, he really looked unhappy.

Konohamaru: "What?"

"you do not believe me?"

Uchiha Aoi did not give a direct answer.

Instead, he raised a finger with a cold expression.

"First!"

"Don't call me Aoi. You can't call me Aoi."

"Second, please turn around."

Uchiha Aoi stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction behind Konohamaru.

"That's my leading jonin, my best brother, the Konoha Taijutsu ninja... Suzumiya Musashi."

"Are you sure you didn't fart just now?!"

Surprised by Uchiha Aoi's reaction, Konohamaru subconsciously turned around.

But when his already dazed mind saw the scene behind him, it immediately became even more dazed.

In the night sky, the gigantic fox demon blocked out the moonlight, roaring and leaping, emitting a terrifying power from hell.

That was a power that Konohamaru, as a Genin, had never experienced before, and it was not a power that someone at his level could covet.

So strong!

so big!

too horrible!

However, it is not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was that the huge fox demon in front of him was constantly leaping and turning, and the howls coming out of its mouth sounded more like wails.

In other words, the movements of its huge body are not to show off its power, but a kind of... jumping up and down!

The reason for jumping up and down was a figure holding a golden whip in the night sky.

Perhaps Konohamaru couldn't see the man's face clearly in the darkness, but the clothes he wore were all too obvious. With his orange martial arts uniform, sharp short hair, and toe-toed figure, it seemed as if he was the only one in Konoha.

He was an ordinary leader of the team and a former student of the lustful teacher Ebisu.

Suzumiya Musashi.

Konohamaru felt like he was falling.

Falling rapidly into the bottomless dark river.

Uchiha Aoi.

Sharingan.

Jonin.

Demonic fox.

Suzumiya Musashi...

Each word entangled in his heart, and finally turned into a heavy pendant, weighing his heart down and sinking it into the abyss of the dark river.

"Konohamaru, I know you're a bit dull and your brain isn't working very well, but there are some things I'll only say once."

"Don't call me Aoi."

"Also...don't say bad things about your brother."

"Otherwise I won't hold back."

Following the cold voice of the girl behind him, Konohamaru's mood sank to the bottom, and the last bit of hope was shattered.

The night breeze is very cold.

He wants to go home.

……

As the roar in the sky continued, although the sound was still loud, the interest of the Konoha ninjas was gradually waning.

One-sided whipping and flogging is a bit monotonous.

And even if their eyesight is not good, they have a clear judgment of the battle situation in their minds.

The unrest is over.

With an invincible strongman like Musashi Jonin around, the enemy can no longer make any waves.

With this psychological expectation, everyone began to organize the treatment of the wounded and search the buildings.

In the crowd, an old man with a bandage on his head silently watched the powerful Suzumiya Musashi soaring through the sky. Seeing the fox demon once again being lashed to the ground by the golden whip, its wailing even hinting at doubting its own survival, a complex expression flashed in his single eye.

Pity.

what a shame.

These damn things from the Fire Nation are really useless.

I thought that the other party was very aggressive and had prepared tens of thousands of zombies, so maybe it would have an unexpected effect.

Who would have thought that it would be such an unexpected failure.

Even this is not as good as their original strength.

Two and a half people were dealt with before even that girl Tsunade showed up, and all the three or four backup plans he had prepared were in vain.

"You deserve to die, useless thing." He muttered to himself indignantly.

Just at this moment, in a trance, he seemed to see Suzumiya Musashi in the distant sky glancing in his direction.

They were too far away, and even he couldn't clearly see the other person's gaze. He couldn't tell whether he had noticed him. Danzo's body stiffened slightly for a moment, then he immediately turned around and joined the team searching for civilians.

"Come on, come on! Two of you come over here and help me!"

"There seems to be some movement down there."

"It's okay, it's just a mouse."

"Hey, the one carrying the injured, please don't shake the stretcher... Never mind, let me handle it myself."

"You guys, you're not active in emergency training during normal times, so you failed at the critical moment. The old guys are the ones who are reliable."

Danzo joined the rescue effort, but as for whether Suzumiya Musashi saw him or not... he didn't care.

I'm here to help, and no one can point out my mistakes.

……

"seal up!"

On the other side, as the fox demon retreated into Kong's body, the battle finally ended.

Suzumiya Musashi stepped forward and sealed the opponent's abdomen with the Four Symbols Seal, ensuring that the power of the demon fox would not overflow again, and he felt relieved.

Looking at the wounded Kong on the ground, he wanted to call a medical ninja for him, but after finding that the medical ninjas were all helping the wounded and civilians, he kept silent.

So what if he got hurt? He's not a ninja from Konoha. Besides, a pseudo-jinchūriki wouldn't die from a little injury.

His judgment was correct.

Kong, who was possessed by the fox demon, had a very strong vitality. After a while, he woke up with a moan.

As soon as I looked around, I saw Suzumiya Musashi and Uzumaki Karin.

"This is where?"

"what happened?"

Uzumaki Karin stepped forward to explain for the other party.

"It's like this. Someone came to attack Konoha... The demon fox in your body was... and then this happened."

In a few minutes, Uzumaki Karin explained the general situation.

Sora listened expressionlessly and replied, "Oh."

Uzumaki Karin: “?”

Oh?
