After saying that, Naruto continued to look at Shion.

There was curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes.

Shion also looked at Naruto, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

The appearance of this young man caused ripples in her originally peaceful life.

"Miss Shion, I know you possess the awesome ability of prophecy, like you hold the key to destiny."

"But I warn you here not to disregard life, especially those guards who gave their lives to protect you."

"They defend your safety with their blood and resist unknown dangers with their bodies. Their sacrifice is so heroic and their loyalty shines like bright stars."

"How can you bear to ignore the disappearance of their lives? Every fallen figure carries the love of protecting you. This love is as heavy as Mount Tai and should not be forgotten in the abyss of indifference."

"The moment they fell, their eyes were filled with determination and reluctance, which was their attachment to this land and you."

"Their families are still looking forward to their safe return, but now they can only wait for endless grief."

"Miss Shion, your prophecy may have changed many things, but you couldn't save their lives."

"If you continue to ignore it, their sacrifice will become meaningless."

"We cannot let those lost lives become just a trace of sadness in our memories, but should let them serve as a reminder for us to cherish life."

"Miss Shion, your prophecy can be a ray of hope, or a sword of indifference. If you continue to be indifferent to these sacrifices, then this sword will pierce more innocent people."

As Naruto stared at her, a hint of panic and guilt flashed across Shion's eyes.

She bit her lip as if she wanted to say something.

Her eyes gradually turned red, and there seemed to be an ocean of sadness surging in her eyes. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, as if they would burst at the next second.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and her stubborn expression seemed as if she was fighting fiercely with her emotions. She never uttered a word.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

Finally, she slowly raised her hand, pointed her slender fingers straight at Naruto, opened her lips slightly, and said in a trembling and resolute voice: "You will die."

These three words were like cold arrows that broke the silence and made the surrounding air seem to be tinged with a layer of despair.

Naruto was stunned at first, then a fearless smile appeared on his face, "Death? From the moment I became a ninja, I have been prepared to face it. If my death can bring peace and protect everyone, then there is nothing to regret."

A strange look flashed through Shion's mind: Yes, everyone whose death I predicted has such a fearless expression.

They always show this kind of heart-stirring courage after hearing the prophecy that sounds like the sentence of the god of death, as if they can break through the shackles of fate.

But in the end, they all disappeared into the abyss of darkness, becoming the regret and guilt that cannot be erased from my memory.

Naruto, you also have such eyes, and the fire burning in them seems to never go out.

But I dare not believe it anymore, and I dare not expect miracles anymore.

(Shion frowned slightly, with a struggle flashing in her eyes) I'm afraid of seeing you fall like them, that would be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Then Shion looked at Naruto deeply, in that look, there was worry, reluctance, and a hint of expectation that she herself had not even noticed.

The moment she turned and left, the breeze blew through her hair, but it could not blow away the gloom in her heart.

Her footsteps were a little heavy, and every step seemed to be stepping on her tangled heart. She didn't know whether she was running away or waiting for Naruto to break this cruel prophecy.

After hearing what Shion said, Sakura looked at Naruto with a worried look on her face. The worry in her eyes was like a thick dark cloud. "Naruto, Shion's prophecy..." Her voice trembled a little, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

Naruto just patted Sakura's shoulder and shook his head gently.

A confident look appeared on his face like sunshine penetrating through the clouds, "Sakura, don't worry, let's discuss the escort."

There was a gleam in Neji's eyes, and he immediately became interested when he heard Naruto's words. He walked a few steps towards Naruto, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Naruto, are you going to participate in this mission too?" There was anticipation for the battle in his eyes, as well as curiosity about working together with Naruto.

Naruto scratched his head, with his signature sunny smile on his face, "I'm just interested in monsters."

At this time, Zuhui, who had been sitting and listening quietly, stood up sincerely and bowed slightly to everyone.

His eyes were filled with understanding and comfort, and he slowly said, "Please forgive me, Miss Shion sometimes predicts the death of others like she did just now. This is not what she wants, and every prediction is a torture for her. She is like a lonely walker caught up in fate. Although she can see the shadow of death, she is powerless to change it and can only watch."

Ashie looked at Naruto with a sincere look, "Please don't mind. In fact, her heart is also very uneasy. Behind those cold words is the pain that she is afraid to face but cannot escape. Her stubbornness is just a fragile disguise. The fearlessness of every person who is predicted will carve a deeper scar in her heart."

Naruto waved his hand casually with a relaxed smile on his face, indicating that he didn't care about Shion's words and actions.

He then turned his gaze to Neji, his eyes gleaming with seriousness, "Ningji, what are your plans for this escort?"

Neji's tense expression relaxed a little after hearing Naruto's words. He looked at Naruto with a little more trust in his eyes. "Originally, there were only four of us, facing unknown dangers. We were a little unsure. The escort mission was full of difficulties, and accidents could happen at every stage. But since you showed up, it's like a shot of adrenaline for us. Your strength makes me feel much more confident about this mission. With you here, we will be more confident when facing emergencies."

Naruto nodded slightly, his eyes revealing deep thought.

His curiosity about monsters and goblins reached its extreme, and various speculations about them kept emerging in his mind.

Could it be that it also came from that world? That world with many mysteries and unknown existences?

On the other side, the joint forces composed of various countries in the ninja world have launched a fierce battle with the monster stone statues.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of killing were deafening.

In the joint army, the Konoha ninjas were like gods of war. Having learned the immortal cultivation methods brought by Naruto, the moves they displayed were incredibly powerful. Every attack could cause heavy damage to the army of monsters and stone figurines.
