“The bridge is about to be finished. Since you two have finished your training, you'll accompany me to protect Dazna tomorrow. Let Night Yu rest for a day.”
Sasuke and Naruto had no objections to this.
They knew that Night Yu had been shouldering the protection work all these days.
Night Yu even helped the islanders build the bridge every day.
He was so tired that he practically fell asleep as soon as he got home.
Though tired, you could tell he was very satisfied.
Perhaps this is what Kakashi-sensei meant by "doing good deeds, self-cultivation."
“Don't worry, you can let Night Yu rest tomorrow. Sasuke and I will take full responsibility for Dazna's safety.”
Naruto grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, looking full of confidence.
After completing his training, he had further control over his chakra.
He wished that something would happen to Dazna tomorrow so he could show off.
“Hmm.”
Kakashi nodded and sent the two of them out.
The next day, Night Yu, who had worked for more than ten days in a row, was ordered by Kakashi to rest.
At first, Night Yu refused.
Because while helping the islanders, though tiring, it was incredibly fulfilling.
He hadn't given up on training his strength, and during breaks from labor, he had some insights, strengthening his mastery of Taijutsu and chakra application...
Ultimately, it was only after Kakashi insisted on him resting for a day that he continued to sleep.
On the other hand, Night Yu had just fallen back into a dream when he was woken by the noise from downstairs.
Night Yu got out of bed and went downstairs, discovering that Dazna's daughter was struggling with two samurai...
Time goes back a few minutes.
Two samurai rudely burst through the door of Dazna's house, muttering about needing a hostage.
Then, they set their sights on Dazna's daughter, intending to take her away.
At this moment, one of the samurai noticed Inari's presence.
So, the two samurai discussed whether to deal with this little guy, after all, one hostage was enough.
Just as the two samurai had this thought, they were threatened by Dazna's daughter.
She declared that if they dared to touch her son, she would immediately bite her tongue and kill herself, so they wouldn't get any hostages.
In the end, the samurai, not wanting to cause any trouble, could only drag the woman away.
All this was seen clearly by Inari, who was hiding behind the door.
However, out of fear, he never dared to make a sound.
He could only watch helplessly as his mother was taken away by the samurai.
When Night Yu came downstairs, Inari's mother had already been dragged out of the door by the two samurai.
Inari, out of fear and self-blame, was crying on the floor behind the door.
Just as Night Yu was about to step forward and ask what was going on, Inari, who had been crying on the floor, suddenly stood up and clenched his fists.
He remembered what Night Yu had told him a few days ago:
“A true hero will protect everything he cherishes.”
“This time, I won't run away anymore.”
With that, Inari rushed out of the door.
Night Yu stayed behind him, and seeing this change in the child's attitude, felt a great sense of relief.
It seemed that Inari had finally inherited his stepfather's courage and was no longer afraid to back down.
Of course, Night Yu didn't think Inari could rescue his mother from those two samurai on his own, so he decided to lend a hand.
In the woods outside Dazna's house.
Inari's thin frame stood in front of the two tall and burly samurai.
“Sorry, I can't let you take my mom away.”
Fear made Inari's voice tremble slightly.
But his actions and eyes were unusually determined.
“Hey, kid! We were going to spare your life, but since you're asking for it, don't blame us for being merciless!”
One of the samurai drew the sword at his waist, the tip pointed at Inari!
Seeing this, the woman used the same trick again, threatening: “If you dare touch my son, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself right away!”
The other samurai, who was holding the woman, slashed her neck with the back of his hand, and she instantly fainted: “Women are just trouble.”
The two samurai approached Inari step by step.
Inari watched the approaching ferocious demons, his body trembling as he stepped back.
The samurai in the front swayed his long sword, his eyes gleaming with cruelty and mockery: “Kid, don't worry, I won't kill you right away.”
“I'll cut off your arm first, then chop off your legs, and then...”
The samurai described the cruel methods of execution in a perverted way, he enjoyed the feeling of having control over someone else's life.
Inari, listening to the cruel scene described by the samurai, trembled all over like a sieve.
“Don't touch me, my grandpa is protected by a few ninjas, if they find out, you're done!”
Inari said, pretending to be calm.
The samurai sneered: “Hehe... ninjas?”
“They're just a bunch of shadows, let him come, let's see if he can survive two attacks from me!”
Before the samurai finished speaking.
Night Yu, holding a kunai, appeared behind Inari.
The two samurai were startled by the sudden appearance of this kid and stepped back.
They noticed the forehead protector on the red-haired boy and confirmed his identity.
Coming back to their senses, they saw that there was only one child.
The samurai immediately became arrogant again: “You're the ninja the kid was talking about, with red hair like a tomato.”
Night Yu hated that nickname the most: “Tomato? (??皿?)”
“Oh, you're angry? Let you experience the art of slicing tomatoes today.”
One of the samurai swung his long sword and charged towards Night Yu.
After he moved, Night Yu raised his right hand with the kunai, colliding with the long sword.
“Clang!!”
Night Yu, holding the kunai with one hand, actually blocked the samurai's long sword!
And his free other hand quickly formed a seal!
At this time, the other samurai also rushed forward, slashing down with his sword!
Night Yu looked up at this moment.
The forehead protector reflected the sunlight, dazzling the two samurai.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!!”
Night Yu opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball!
“Whoosh!!”
The two samurai were unable to dodge and were hit head-on by the fireball, instantly turning into two charred corpses!
After the two samurai were engulfed by the fireball.
Inari, in shock, discovered that his mother was also in the path of the fireball!
Thinking about the tragic fate of the two samurai, Inari's heart ached.
He yelled nervously, “No!!”
But he found that the fireball miraculously extinguished at this moment....
Ultimate control!
