Lord Naruto

Chapter 224 Chongming’s choice

But after the shock, I felt relieved. There were no ninjas from the Land of Fire here, and I didn't have to worry about any trouble from Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And since the ninjas from the Wind Empire and the Water Empire have joined forces to capture Nanao Shigeaki, this can also explain a lot of problems.

"Ninjas from the Wood Empire? Haha! Don't you think you know too much? They are ninjas from the Wind Empire and Water Empire. Don't hold back, kill them all." Uzumaki Ziping said to a few others.

"Hmph! You four are the only ones who want to kill us! It's ridiculous!" a leader ninja said with some disdain.

The four of them looked at each other and all showed inexplicable smiles. Hou Shou said disdainfully: "You will know soon if this is funny or not."

After Hou Shou said that, he used the melting ninjutsu to start a large-scale attack, and the other three people began to distribute the attacks on the two groups of ninjas.

Although these people are quite strong, individual shadow-level experts might not be able to do anything about it, and may even encounter resistance from them. Unfortunately, they could not hold on for long when they encountered the four super masters of Uzumaki Zihei. All the ninjas stayed, everyone who could escape.

"Check to see if there are any survivors. If not, we will leave with this big guy." Uzumaki Ziping said.

Then it was time to clean up the battlefield. No one would be lenient when facing the enemy, and those who were not dead would have to be dealt a blow. Afterwards, the few people took Nanao Shigeaki away from the island.

Although the Nanao Chongaki was very large, with the cooperation of the four people, he was able to carry it away without much effort.

After a arduous voyage, the four finally moved Nanao Shigeaki to another island, and then began to check the situation of Nanao Shigeaki.

"How come this guy is so honest and doesn't make any noise? Why does this feel wrong? Is he dead?" Uzumaki Ziping said, rubbing his head.

Although Uzumaki Zihei's voice was small, it was heard by everyone. Even Nanao Shigeaki, who was told by him not to cry or make trouble, also heard it. Then he opened his beetle eyes that were bigger than a lantern and said: "You are the one who died. Your whole family is dead."

Hearing Nanao Chongaki speak, Uzumaki Ziping was a little surprised and said: "I said you Flying Mantis, you are not dead, so why is there no movement at all? You should at least struggle a little!"

Nanao Shigeaki still stared at Beetle and said, "I wonder if I'm injured now? I struggled. Don't you know that struggling will tear the wound? Do you want to hurt me to death? Why are you such an idiot?"

"Oh! You say I'm an idiot. Then who are you? You were kidnapped by us. You don't struggle! If you don't struggle, aren't you afraid that we will kill or seal you? You shouldn't be unclear about this. Let’s go!” Uzumaki Ziping continued.

Uzumaki Ziping continued to ask, but Nanao Shigeaki was too lazy to answer, and said to Xixi: "Who is this idiot Rhinoceros? Why are there so many nonsense? I know you are here to save me, why should I struggle and resist?"

"Oh! Xixi, how could he know our identities?" Uzumaki Ziping said in surprise when Nanao Shigeaki asked Xixi.

"Let me talk about this issue." Hou Shou walked out and said.

Seeing that Hou Shou was about to come out to answer his questions, Uzumaki Ziping nodded and waited.

"This is a special connection between us tailed beasts. When the three of us fought, our auras were already exposed, so it's not surprising that Chongming knows our identities," Hou Shou said.

"Oh! No wonder this guy is so calm. It turns out he knows our identities. What should we do next?" Uzumaki Ziping asked, then turned to look at Xixi.

"Just say what you want to say directly, don't make any fuss, and Rhinoceros, I've always wanted to ask you three, how did you turn into human form, how did you do this?" Nanao Shigeaki stared at the beetle. said.

After hearing Nanao Shigeaki's inquiry, they didn't even think about hiding anything, so they made it clear to Nanao Shigeaki.

After Nanao Shigeaki understood the cause and effect of the matter, he stopped talking and said, "Let me think about it and I will answer you after I have recovered from my injuries."

Uzumaki Ziping heard some reluctance from Nanao Shigeaki's tone. This was something Uzumaki Ziping had already expected, and he did not force it. Instead, he said: "You can think about it however you want, but can we move our positions?" , this is not our territory yet, others can easily find us.”

"No, I'm too injured to move. I think this location is good. With the four of you here to protect me, there will be no problem with my safety. When my injury is almost recovered, we will leave here." Nanao Chongming said.

Now Uzumaki Ziping can be very sure that Nanao Shigeaki does not want to join them at all, and even says that he does not trust them much. Since the situation is like this, Uzumaki Ziping does not intend to waste time.

Although Nanao Shigeaki did not intend to join their camp, Uzumaki Ziping still felt it was a pity, but he would not push it too hard. The Wood Empire was not short of such a powerful person.

Moreover, although Nanao Juaki's strength can be ranked third in terms of chakra amount, it is not third in terms of combat power.

After thinking about some issues, Uzumaki Ziping made some thoughts, walked up to Nanao Chongming and said: "Chongming! I know what you think, and I won't make it difficult for you. Since you have freedom of choice, then I also respect you. freedom, but I will not stay here to protect you. I still have a lot of family matters to deal with, but I don’t have time to waste here with you. I came to save you this time for the sake of Brother Hou and the others. I can I didn’t expect to get any benefit from you.”

Then he turned to Hou Shou and the other three and said, "He has already made his choice. It's okay now. I'm going back to the academy first. If you have anything else, you can continue chatting. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Nanao and activated the positioning coordinates on the bracelet. There was a burst of white light and disappeared with a "whoosh".

"Alas! Ziping, alas! Wait a minute." Xixi saw Uzumaki Ziping leaving like this, and she still felt a little panicked in her heart. Even You Lan and Hou Shou didn't understand, Uzumaki Ziping had already left.

 

"What's going on with Xixi? What's going on with Ziping? Why did you go back suddenly?" Hou Shou asked.

Youlan also nodded in agreement with Hou Shou's statement. Although Youlan and Xixi often bullied Uzumaki Ziping, they did not have any ill feelings toward Uzumaki Ziping, and were even a little angry, because Uzumaki Ziping only had eyes for Xixi and completely left her in the dust. aside.

So this is why when Youlan beat Uzumaki Ziping, he was the most hateful and the most active, because this is the behavior of girls.

When asked by her two companions, Xixi shook her head helplessly and said, "Alas!"

Then he raised his head and looked at Nanao Shigeaki, which made Nanao Shigeaki a little confused.

"Why are you looking at me like this! I didn't do anything wrong or say anything wrong. Don't blame me for this!" Nanao Shigeaki said.

"Oh! Forget it! Ziping is right. Since you have made a decision, Chongming, we will respect and understand your choice, but you should not fool and delay us here. We are not fools. You don't trust him. , so we can understand, because he is a human being, but your attitude is that you don’t even trust the three of us, or do you think we have been controlled by him." Xixi said.

After hearing Xixi's explanation, Hou Shou also came up and said a few words: "Chongming, do you think that we have been controlled by others? You don't want to think about our tailed beasts being controlled by others, so why are you talking to you with such a calm mind? , you still can’t tell the difference between being controlled and not being controlled, you haven’t trusted us.”

"Humph! That's right! You doubt us anyway. No wonder that guy left without saying hello. We came all the way to save you, and now you are still looking down on us like this. Do you think we are all fools?" Lan said.

"Alas! We are the same kind. How can you blame me for a human being? Just because he gave you a space to be free, but it is just a bigger prison. Real freedom is like me. , can fly freely in the sky and around the world, this is called freedom, and you are not like this at all." Hearing that everyone was blaming him, Nanao Shigeaki also said a little angry.

Seeing that everyone was showing signs of quarreling, Xixi quickly stopped them and said, "Okay, everyone, please stop arguing."

With Xixi's stop, several people stopped talking, and Xixi looked at Nanao Chongming and continued: "We don't have to argue about anything. Chongming, how long will it take for you to recover from your injuries."

Hearing Xixi ask about his injury, Nanao Shigeaki thought about it and said: "It may take a little longer to fully recover from the injury. If it is a normal action, it only takes three days."

"Then we will guard you here for three days. After three days, we will return to the Wood Empire. If you can move normally, you can leave on your own and find a safe place to recover from your injuries." Xixi said.

With Xixi's arrangement, Youlan and Hou Shou didn't say anything, and both agreed with Xixi's feelings.

But Nanao Shigeaki seemed a little confused. He didn't know what was going on with these three companions. They were clearly not under control, so why didn't they leave and still protect others like this?

Some people asked strangely: "Why! Why are you so willing to trust a human being? Why are you willing to protect a human being like this? Why are you unwilling to leave even though you can get real freedom? Have you forgotten how humans have treated us over the years?" Of?"

Hearing Nanao Shigeaki's question, Hou Shou couldn't help but said: "Why? Because he chose to help us, because he recognized us. If it weren't for his help, the three of us should be sealed in other people's bodies now, and Instead of being able to walk freely in the sunshine like now, do you know how precious life is to us now? If it weren’t for his help, you would have been sealed by others now. How could you still Do you really think you can always be this free?"

Youlan couldn't help it any longer, and said angrily to Nanao Shigeaki: "You have been free outside these years, but you haven't been hiding in Tibet. Every time you show up in the ninja world, aren't you always surrounded and suppressed? ? Is your kind of freedom really freedom? You..."

Youlan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xixi: "Youlan, don't say any more. Chongming! You are the only one among us who has not been caught and sealed in a container, so you will not be alone. You have not experienced what we are like now, and you do not understand what freedom is. We will protect you here and heal your wounds, but we hope that one day you will understand and look for us in the Wood Empire."

Then he stopped talking and silently guarded Nanao Shigeaki while he recovered from his injuries on the island. Three days passed quickly. Everyone was also lucky. No ninja passed by this sea area for three days.

Everyone had spent three days safely, and now it was time to separate. On this day, Nanao Chongming once again said to Xixi, Hou Shou and Youlan: "You are really unwilling to leave here with me and go outside to find the real freedom of?"

Xixi, Hou Shou and Youlan looked at each other, and all shook their heads to express their unwillingness to leave. Hou Shou said: "Chongming, we tailed beasts have been surrounded and suppressed by humans over the years. Haven't you ever thought about these reasons? Although we They are also aliens, but like those ninja beasts, they are aliens to humans. But why can those guys in the three holy places coexist peacefully with humans, but we can't? Why? Is it a matter of strength? No! We Tailed beasts have power that is not weak to any holy land. If all nine of us unite, we will be even stronger. But why can't we escape from the fact that we are surrounded and suppressed even though we have strong power? You haven't thought about this question. Have you passed?"

Nanao Shigeaki was asked, he would consider so many issues. Is this something he still considers?

"Uh! Monkey, these questions you mentioned are too complicated and profound. I have never thought about these questions." Nanao Shigeaki said.

"Forget it, monkey doesn't need to say so much, he will understand one day, and he will come to look for us then." Xixi stopped Hou Shou and said.

Then he said to Nanao Shigeaki: "Since you choose to continue to be free, we will not force you, but there is one favor I hope you can help."

Nanao Shigeaki said without much thought: "Tell me, do you need my help with anything?"

"I hope you can look for traces of Shukaku and King Mu. We don't know the whereabouts of those two guys right now. If you choose to be outside, please help pay attention to their location, and then we will find a way to rescue them. ." Xixi said.
