The sky gradually darkened, and darkness enveloped the forest. The branches and leaves stretched out like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
As the night fell, the trees gradually quieted down. Except for the sound of fighting and the mercenaries on night watch not far away, there was only the slight sound of small animals moving.
In the silent woods, two figures suddenly rushed out and then stopped in a spacious place. Under the moonlight, it could be seen that they were Kimimaro and Sasuke.
"Sigh …"
With a heavy sigh of relief, Sasuke leaned softly on the tree next to him.
At this moment, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Kimimaro's body was soft. The previous high-intensity battle really made him extremely tired.
After resting for a while, the two pairs of eyes suddenly looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Uchiha Sasuke, from the Land of Heaven, Tien Yin!"
Sasuke took the lead and said.
"Land of Heaven, Tien Yin?
You are not from the Land of Water? "
Hearing this, Kimimaro was taken aback and asked doubtfully.
"No!"
Shaking his head, Sasuke denied directly.
"Since you are not from the Land of Water, then why do you know my name and save me?"
Staring at Sasuke, Kimimaro asked subconsciously.
Originally, when Sasuke called out his name, Kimimaro wanted to ask this question, but the situation was urgent, so Kimimaro finally held back.
For this question, Sasuke really found it difficult to answer, so he chuckled, "That's not important anymore, you just need to understand that you are my companion now, and no matter what, I will never let anyone hurt you again!"
"Companion?"
Hearing these two words, Kimimaro's heart suddenly moved. From the time he was sensible to the present, no one would call him a companion.
"Kimimaro, come with me to Tien Yin, there will be more companions who care about you, and it will be your real home!"
Looking at the dazed Kimimaro, Sasuke continued to speak.
"Ok!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Kimimaro immediately nodded and agreed.
Not expecting Kimimaro to agree so quickly, Sasuke was stunned and felt a little surprised.
"Sasuke -kun is my savior, so no matter where Sasuke -kun goes, I will follow!"
Seeing the expression on Sasuke's face, Kimimaro smiled slightly and then explained.
Sasuke's purpose of coming to the Land of Water was to take Kimimaro away. Now that Kimimaro agreed to go to Tien Yin, he was naturally very happy.
After a brief self-introduction, Sasuke and Kimimaro also sat down and chatted together. The two talked about everything as if they had known each other for a long time.
But Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro
"Onii-san, are you okay?"
Seeing Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro, Kimimaro
"With Kimimaro, Kimimaro Kimimaro, Kimimaro......
Kimimaro is too strong, if we fight, I won't be his opponent! "
Hearing Sasuke's question, Kimimaro answered.
Kimimaro used to hear how powerful Kimimaro was, so he didn't believe it and wanted to compete with Kimimaro personally. Now that he fought with Kimimaro and saw Kimimaro's ability, he knew how terrifying Kimimaro was.
"Of course, Onii-san is a super powerful ninja!"
Hearing this, Sasuke sighed proudly.
"It's getting late, let's find a suitable place to rest, and we will set off back to the village tomorrow morning."
Hearing Sasuke and Kimimaro's flattery, Kimimaro shook his head helplessly, and then said lightly.
"Okay!"
Sasuke and others had no opinion, and then slowly disappeared into the woods with Kimimaro.
…
At night, under the moonlight, the entire Takigakure became quiet and hazy.
"Huh … Huh …"
However, in a dense forest next to the Takigakure, suddenly there was a very intense breathing sound. Looking closer, in an open space in the forest, a ten-year-old boy was waving a kunai in his hand and practicing.
This boy is called Shiki. Although he is very young, the villagers of Takigakure know him because his father is the village chief, and he will become the new leader of Takigakure in the future.
"Well, not bad …"
When Wo Mu hit the bull's eye with Kunai, a voice came from the side. He quickly turned his head and saw Wo Mu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, standing under a big tree. A smile appeared on his usually stoic face at this moment.
"Dad."
Looking at Kimimaro standing next to the tree, Shiki called out in surprise.
Shiki didn't expect that Kimimaro would come to check his practice so late.
Kimimaro nodded, walked closer to Shiki, glanced up and down, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Kimimaro, it can prove that you are working hard, good."
"Dad, I will continue to work hard."
Shiki scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Ahem …"
After coughing a few times, Kimimaro sighed. "Hey!
In fact, I don't want to give you too much pressure, but my condition is getting worse and worse. For the future of Takigakure, you must have the ability! "
"Dad, I understand, I will not disappoint your expectations of me!"
"It's good that you understand!"
It's very late, Kimimaro looked at Shiki, who was sweating like rain, and suddenly said: "Today's practice is over, wait until tomorrow."
"Ok!"
Shiki nodded, his body has indeed reached the limit, and continuing to practice is not good for his body.
"Whew!"
However, just as the father and son were about to leave, an extremely sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out. More than a dozen sharp kunai shot out from the tree like lightning, aiming at the vital points on their backs in a tricky arc!
The sudden attack also made Kimimaro's face slightly changed, and he hurriedly turned his head, but the kunai were already in front of him, and there was no way to avoid it.
At this critical moment, Kimimaro didn't panic, and his hands quickly formed a seal!
"Water Release — Water Curtain!"
With a cold shout, a water column appeared in front of Kimimaro, and as soon as the water column appeared, it condensed into a huge water curtain, and then wrapped Kimimaro and Shiki inside.
"Chi Chi Chi!"
After the water curtain was formed, the kunai also stabbed the water curtain, but the kunai's strength was dissolved, and finally they fell to the ground.
When the kunai attack failed, several ninjas wearing Tien Yin forehead protectors suddenly appeared in front of Kimimaro and Shiki.
"Who are you?"
After the water curtain fell, Kimimaro stared at the ninjas in front of him and coldly shouted.
"We are Tien Yin ninjas, you helped Kirin fight against Tien Yin, Celestial Shadow -sama sent us to kill you!"
After Kimimaro's voice fell, among the Tien Yin ninjas, a man with purple hair said in a low voice, and then rushed toward Kimimaro.
