Chapter 103: Naruto is frightened and returns home

Even though the killing intent was not directed at him, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This is also a disadvantage of strong perception, and it is easy to perceive some strange things.

Fortunately, Yamanaka Inoichi has experienced so much, so he will not be scared.

However, this killing intent... Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes when looking at Xia Li have changed a little. What did the other party do after graduating early?

Originally, Yamanaka Inoichi was a little dissatisfied with Xia Li. After all, his daughter's mind was on him, but Xia Li disappeared since a year ago.

During this period, it can be clearly seen that Ino's interest has not been very high, and she has spoken less, but she has worked harder in practice.

Yamanaka Inoichi saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. It can be imagined how dissatisfied he was with Xia Li. Even if you are going on a mission, you should come to see Ino when you come back!

Yamanaka Inoichi still remembers that his daughter asked him to find the other party's news at that time. Yamanaka Inoichi agreed at that time, but he couldn't find it at all.

He even learned from the third generation that Xia Li was not dead and would send gifts to his family. But he couldn't find this person at all, which was a kind of information in itself. Yamanaka Inoichi also guessed that the other party should be in the Anbu.

However, there was no way to do this. His authority was not enough to investigate the Anbu, so he couldn't find Xia Li in the end. Yamanaka Inoichi still remembered the disappointed look in Ino's eyes at that time.

When he thought of this, Yamanaka Inoichi felt a little angry in his heart.

He didn't expect to meet Xia Li on the side of the Hokage.

However, when he really saw Xia Li, he felt the strong blood and murderous intent on the other party and fell silent.

Maybe the other party was right not to approach Ino like this?

"Well, it's me, Uncle Yamanaka, long time no see." Xia Li smiled and said.

"Well, long time no see... Are you going home?" Yamanaka Inoichi asked.

"Yes, the mission is completed, of course I have to go home." Xia Li's tone was also a little complicated and deep.

Suddenly, Yamanaka Inoichi also understood that the other party probably withdrew from the Anbu, and the other party had never returned home before, otherwise why didn't he find any news about Xia Li...

"Don't you go to see Ino?" Yamanaka Inoichi finally sighed and asked. The other party might have his own difficulties. Seeing Xia Li's current appearance, he couldn't blame him anymore.

"..." Suddenly, Xia Li was silent, then smiled bitterly, pointed at himself, looked at Yamanaka Inoichi, and said, "Uncle Inoichi, you should be able to notice that my current state is really suitable for approaching Ino?"

Yamanaka Inoichi was also silent, but he was relieved in his heart. Since there was such a clear cognition, it meant that the other party was not bound by this murderous intent. As long as he stopped killing, it would be a matter of time before he broke free.

Moreover, Yamanaka Inoichi also understood the reason why the other party didn't even go home. It was probably because he was afraid that his uncontrollable state would affect his family.

Thinking of this, Yamanaka Inoichi's anger subsided. If he could still think about his family and Ino in this state, it would already show what kind of person he was. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

"Go back quickly. You haven't been home for a long time. It's good for your current state to spend more time with your family. And remember to look for our Ino more often. She always misses you." Yamanaka Inoichi's tone softened.

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded. He naturally knew this, but it was good for him, but was it good for Sinai? Was it good for Ino? He would not continue to share his negative emotions with the people he cared about.

Now that he has withdrawn from the Anbu, he can almost guarantee that the murderous intent on his body will not increase, and there is no reason to avoid it, so he decided to go home.

Then, Xia Li said goodbye to Yamanaka Inoichi and continued to walk towards home.

Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Xia Li's back and smiled. If Ino could really get along with her, it would be great. He also knew Xia Li's worries and whispered.

"But Ino is going to be a ninja too!"

Then, Yamanaka Inoichi turned around and walked towards the Hokage's office.

…………

Along the way, Xia Li felt a sense of relaxation for the first time in a long time. Here, his spirit finally didn't need to be kept tense all the time, and his perception didn't need to be kept too strong. It was enough for daily life.

Just walking slowly like this, Xia Li felt a sense of satisfaction, which he couldn't feel in the previous year and a half.

In this year and a half, Xia Li killed so many people, but what Xia Li can guarantee is that he never killed for the sake of killing, but mastered all his abilities in battle.

The same is true for rescue missions, because there will definitely be enemies in such missions, so he went against the idea of ​​the third generation and forced himself to participate.

Just practicing without actual combat is not enough, and now, Xia Li's shortcomings in this aspect have finally been made up, and the price is his current state.

But Xia Li thinks it should be worth it. After all, he is confident that he can get out of this state, it just takes some time. Even if this time is counted, it is worth it in exchange for such rich combat experience.

And most importantly, as long as he doesn't continue to kill, his current state will not affect him much. After all, he has the empty state as a guarantee, but it looks a bit bluffing.

His spirit is strong enough, plus the empty state, as long as he doesn't continue to kill in the near future, there will be nothing. The reason for bluffing is that the amount is enough to distort the will of most people.

Now, the actual combat is basically almost done, so what's next?

Xia Li knew that he should continue to settle down and accumulate energy, but how to settle down?

Continue to practice? Ninjutsu? Swordsmanship? Or... fairy art?

When Xia Li was thinking, he didn't notice that a familiar figure found him, and the other party's short golden hair also proved his identity.

It's not Xia Li's fault that he didn't distinguish Naruto. His perception was aimed at chakra, and Naruto didn't use ninjutsu and didn't extract chakra at this time. The amount was also within the normal range. Xia Li could know that there was a person with chakra there, but he couldn't sense who it was. As for the movement, in this busy village, it would be too difficult for Xia Li to sense it through the movement.

Naruto was running wildly on the street, venting his joy of finally passing the exam for the last time. In this way, he is one step closer to being recognized by everyone, right? !

He will keep running in the village, wearing the forehead protector that represents the ninja, so that everyone knows that he, Uzumaki Naruto, has also become a ninja!

What he didn't expect was that in the process, he saw a familiar figure, the familiar black short hair, and the familiar walking posture, which made Naruto open his eyes wide.

That was... his first friend! The first friend he hadn't seen for more than a year.

Suddenly, a wave of joy rushed into Naruto's mind. He was a little impatient to tell Xia Li the news that he had passed the exam, but soon, his steps stopped.

Naruto's eyes were wide open, his forehead was full of sweat, looking at Xia Li's back, he looked scared, and now he only felt a suffocating feeling emanating from the other person.

The suffocating feeling was so cold and terrifying that it was very difficult for him to take a step. He even wanted to escape immediately and stay away from this figure. The other party... was too dangerous.

But... why is this? That was his... first friend?

Naruto didn't understand, he couldn't figure it out, he could only stare blankly at Xia Li's figure disappearing from his sight, and then he seemed to have just escaped from the fear, kneeling on the ground with his hands on the ground, gasping for breath.

Why? Naruto was a little puzzled, and the joy of becoming a Genin was completely gone. He walked in a trance, this time he was aimless.

"Is that the monster? Didn't he pass the exam? What happened?" Mizuki accidentally discovered the trance-looking Naruto while buying daily necessities on the street, and immediately showed a trace of disgust on his face, and at the same time some confusion.

He clearly remembered that the other party was very happy after successfully passing, why now...

But, soon, a smile appeared on his face, although he didn't know why, but it seemed that he could use it.

He was still thinking about how to get the Book of Seals. Now it seemed that he could give it a try. He followed behind. If the other party was discovered, he would kill the other party immediately on the charge of stealing the Book of Seals to get rid of his suspicion...

Anyway, he was just a monster, as annoying as the one called Xia Li. He obviously tried to hold back his dignity to approach them, but it didn't work at all. Naruto never got close to him, and Xia Li's indifferent eyes made him angry when he thought of it.

That look seemed to completely ignore him. He obviously did what Iruka did, right? Why treat him differently? Is genius amazing? ! If he gets the Book of Seals, what does it matter if you are a genius?

Mizuki gritted his teeth, and the smile on his face gradually twisted. He slowly walked towards Naruto, and the smile on his face slowly turned gentle again.

…………

Xia Li naturally didn't know that Naruto was frightened by his murderous intent. After all, he didn't do it on purpose. His murderous intent now basically didn't distinguish between enemies and friends, so Naruto could feel that he was targeting him.

Naruto's perception was not strong, but he had a vague feeling about the kindness and malice of others. That was the passive state given to him by the Nine-Tails.

So he clearly felt the murderous intent that was a level higher than malice, and he encountered such a strong murderous intent for the first time. He was not frightened because Xia Li walked not slowly and quickly left Naruto's perception range.

Soon, Xia Li finally returned to the front door of his house. He felt a little... flustered. He didn't know whether to knock on the door. Sinai should still be at work at this time?

Xia Li thought about it and finally took out the key that he hadn't touched for a long time and inserted it into the keyhole.

However, to Xia Li's surprise, the door was not locked, which proved that Sinai should be at home.

Xia Li's figure froze a little. After so much time, he didn't know how to face his mother.

Will Sinai blame him when he sees him? He clearly promised to come back often.

Xia Li took a deep breath, and finally stretched out her hands, pushed open the door, and saw the familiar figure who was making barbecue at the moment.

The sound of the door also attracted the attention of the people in the room, and the busy figure turned around and looked at the door.

The next moment, when she saw the figure standing at the door, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the barbecue in her hand fell into the hot coals, making a sizzling sound.

"Mom, I'm back." Xia Li looked at Sinai's eyes and didn't see any blame. At this moment, she seemed to let go of something in her heart, smiled, and shouted.

Sinai didn't say anything, slowly walked in front of Xia Li, looking at Xia Li who was already a little taller than her, and a pair of hands groped Xia Li's body.

Xia Li didn't make any moves, letting Sinai confirm something.

Finally, after Sinai confirmed that Xia Li had no missing parts and came back intact, her eyes finally blurred and a smile appeared on her face.

Looking at Sinai's appearance, Xia Li couldn't help but blame himself even though he had his own reasons.

"Sorry, I made you worry..."

But Sinai didn't mean to blame Xia Li, and looked at Xia Li.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be able to come back safely."

"Ah, auntie, why is the barbecue..."

At this time, a voice appeared in Xia Li's home, which made Xia Li stunned.
