Chapter 247 Yugao is mine now

Naruto shook his head and said earnestly: "You are just too cautious. Sometimes, being braver may lead to different good results. In addition, the forbidden techniques of the Tsuchigumo clan." After saying this, Naruto paused and looked at Yugao, his meaning was already very clear.

After hearing what Naruto said, Yugao's face changed.

There were so many thoughts in his mind. He was well aware of his usual cautious style, but he never thought about Ying's safety after he left.

Naruto's determined look seemed to have thrown a stone into his heart, causing ripples.

Yugao has always been in awe and worry about the forbidden techniques of the Tsuchigumo clan.

It is a powerful but dangerous force, and any carelessness may lead to irreversible consequences.

However, Naruto's words made him start to re-evaluate everything.

Indeed, once I leave Ying's side.

As the heir of the Tsuchigumo clan, he has the powerful killing weapon, Nuhaten, in his body.

As a little girl, Ying must be very helpless.

A strong sense of worry surged in Yu Gao's heart. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for Ying to face danger alone.

That fragile figure seemed like it could be swallowed up by the storm at any time.

Then Yugao stopped.

Looking at Naruto expectantly, Naruto naturally understood what Yugao meant and said with a smile: "Go ahead, I never said that I can't accept them."

Yugao's face lit up with joy when he heard Naruto's words.

He looked at Naruto gratefully, his heart filled with emotion.

With Naruto's support, he seemed to have gained endless power.

Yu Gao turned around and walked briskly back the way he came.

He couldn't wait to tell Ying the good news and tell her "Follow me"

Yu Gao's figure quickly shuttled in the sunlight, the wind whistled in his ears, and his heart was as anxious as the galloping footsteps.

He imagined Ying's expression when she heard the news. It must have been a mixture of surprise and emotion.

The moment he finally saw Ying, his eyes were full of tenderness and determination.

He strode up to Hotaru, breathing slightly, a bright smile on his face.

"Hina, follow me."

His voice was not loud, but it was full of power and expectation.

Ying raised her head, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she was infected by Yu Gao's expression, as if she understood something.

The corners of her mouth gradually rose and she nodded gently.

At this moment, no words were needed, as they already understood each other's thoughts.

Yugao took Ying's hand and led her towards a new journey.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Naruto and others had been waiting there for more than two hours.

Naruto frowned slightly. Normally, the journey from here to the current location would only take half an hour, but now two hours have passed and Yugao has not returned yet.

It is very likely that Yugao was in danger.

Naruto's worry grew stronger and he began to think about various possible scenarios.

Did they encounter an enemy attack? Or did something unexpected happen within the Tsuchigumo clan? Or was it some other unknown danger?

"We can't wait any longer."

Naruto whispered, he turned to look at Orochimaru and the others around him, "We have to find Yugao, we can't put him in danger."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they immediately took action, moving quickly in the direction Yu Gao left.

Along the way, Naruto's heart was always hanging.

He kept speeding up his pace, and all kinds of bad images appeared in his mind.

He prayed silently that he would not run into Payne, and at the same time he was prepared to deal with any danger.

As they go deeper, the surrounding environment becomes more and more strange and dangerous.

But Naruto and the others did not retreat at all. Relying on their keen perception, they continued to search for Yu Gao's trace.

Finally, in a remote place, they found some clues.

There were messy footprints and traces of fighting on the ground, which made Naruto's heart tighten.

They continued to move forward along these traces, hoping to find Yu Gao as soon as possible.

Naruto and the others quickened their pace following the trail, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the front and everyone immediately became alert.

They approached the source of the sound cautiously, only to see Yugao and Hotaru surrounded by a group of mysterious people.

Yu Gao had some wounds on his body, obviously having been through a fierce battle.

Hotaru hid behind Yugao with a terrified look on her face.

Seeing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. Then several people quickly came to Yugao's side.

He looked at Yugao and Hotaru, his eyes full of concern.

"What exactly happened? Why are we being besieged by these people?" Naruto asked.

Yu Gao looked solemn and said slowly: "We were on our way back when we were suddenly stopped by these people. They are from the Hidden Mist Village and they wanted to capture me and take me back."

Naruto raised his eyebrows slightly, probably knowing what the situation was, and then Naruto said to the leader of the Kirigakure Anbu: "Has your village decided what to do with Yugao?"

The leader of the Kirigakure Anbu looked at Naruto with cold eyes and said, "He once escaped from Kirigakure Village and must be brought back to be punished."

Naruto frowned and said, "You should have already investigated the reason why Yugao fled. Can't you reconsider it?"

The leader remained unmoved and said firmly: "This is the decision of the Hidden Mist Village and there is no room for doubt."

Anger welled up in Naruto's heart, but he knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He took a deep breath and tried to find a solution.

"If you take Yugao away by force, we won't sit idly by." Naruto said.

The leader snorted coldly and said, "If you want to stop us, you will be the enemy of the Hidden Mist Village."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the two sides were at a stalemate. At this moment, Yu Gao stood up.

"Naruto, you don't have to make an enemy of the Hidden Mist Village for me. I will go back with them and accept the punishment. There are some things I must face," said Yugao.

Then Naruto said coldly: "Then I will go to the Hidden Mist Village with you."

The leader of the Kirigakure Anbu frowned and said sternly: "No, you can't follow us. This is our Kirigakure's internal affairs. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

Naruto did not back down and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Yugao is mine now. I will give you two choices. The first: you die and we go. The second: you take us back with you." After saying that, a powerful pressure was released from Naruto's body.

The leader of the Kirigakure Anbu felt the powerful pressure released by Naruto, and his face became extremely ugly.

He knew clearly that the young man in front of him with the ice sculpture mask was extremely powerful. If they really started fighting, there was a high possibility that he and his group would die at his hands.

The leader gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and finally said, "Okay, we can take you back with us, but you must promise not to cause trouble while in the Hidden Mist Village."
