Chapter 133 Inside and Outside the Barrier
Kanako thought the other party was exaggerating.
Unable to resist the other party's persistence, I could only reluctantly glance at the information in front of me.
One glance, then two glances—and then she couldn't sleep.
In terms of beauty, family background, and ability, she seems to have no advantage on this list.
"Don't you feel any sense of crisis yet?"
"Without my help, how could you possibly defeat them?" Muto Saika continued to tempt her.
"If you nod, I can help you."
"And I promise that I will always be on your side."
Shaking her head, Kanako tried her best to calm herself down, putting Mutou Saika's seductive words out of her mind.
"Caixiang, stop talking."
"Let me think about it—"
Muto Saika nodded, giving Kanako time to think alone, and when the other wasn't paying attention, a smile appeared on her lips.
Marching forward, on the road.
Finally, the base came into view.
Early in the morning, Kanako tiptoed around looking for Shingetsu Seiun, but whether it was because her mind was too chaotic or because there were too many people, she couldn't find him.
In the end, it was Mutou Saika who kindly reached out and pointed out the location for her.
"There! There it is!"
Kanako looked up and, sure enough, saw Shinzuki Seiun's figure. She quickly waved her hand.
An hour later, inside Kanako's tent.
As soon as Shenyue Xingyun entered, she rushed over to her.
"Very good!"
"I can see you every day again."
Gently stroking the other person's head, Shenyue Xingyun helplessly explained.
"Kanako, it seems it's not going to work this time."
I'm leaving soon.
Kanako looked up in shock: "Where are we going?"
Shingetsu Seiun said, "Orochimaru led the Jonin team to achieve great results against Iwagakure. There shouldn't be any important battles coming up."
"I was assigned to return to the village with the troops that were being relieved of their posts."
Kanako was extremely disappointed.
She thought she could spend the rest of her days with Shenyue Xingyun.
Shenyue Xingyun comforted her, "Don't think like that, try to think positively."
"At least it's much safer here."
Kanako would rather be in danger than not be with Shinzuki Seiun.
"When are you leaving?" she asked, looking up.
"Soon, at most one hour."
Kanako was heartbroken at the thought of her beloved leaving, but she had no choice but to obey military orders. All she could do was cherish the last moments she had with him.
Shingetsu Seiun cast a barrier spell, creating a soundproof barrier inside the tent, and then he and Kanako poured out their hearts to each other.
Outside the tent.
Muto Saika, who considers herself Kanako's staunch ally, is taking precautions against the wind to prevent anyone from suddenly approaching.
The wind was a bit chilly, so she tightened her clothes and imagined with envy what a warm and welcoming scene must be inside the tent.
But as time went by, she began to feel that something was amiss.
Why is there no sound from the tent behind us? Could it be that the two of them are really keeping quiet?
What a waste of an opportunity!
Ten minutes, twenty minutes—after being exposed to the cold wind for almost an hour, she could no longer suppress her feelings of frustration and disappointment.
No! I need to have a serious talk with Kanako. How could she waste so much time like this!?
Seeing that no one was around, she furtively lifted the curtain and entered the tent, taking a cautious step out.
As if an invisible barrier had been in place, Kanako's sonic assault then rushed into her ears.
Muto Saika: "————"
It turns out the other party didn't waste any time.
It turns out that she was the one who was truly naive.
After feeling sorry for herself for three seconds, Kanako's heart rate increased sharply and her face turned red as she was attacked by the sonic waves.
Just as she made up her mind to secretly meddle while Kanako was preoccupied, time was up.
Shingetsu Seiun bid farewell to the exhausted Kanako, glanced at Mutou Saika, and then left.
Only Muto Saika remained, stunned in place.
There was the heartache of being ignored. There was also the urge to reach out and stop the other person, but in the end, nothing was done.
After Shingetsu Seiun left, she took two steps to Kanako's side and reached out to hold the other's hand, which was still warm.
"Kanako."
"Are you alright? Are you tired?"
Kanako was panting heavily as her gaze slowly focused.
"Why are you showing up again?"
"I was just worried about you," Mutou Saika said. "Look at you, a mere genin sparring with Nebula, you're exhausted, aren't you?"
"Why didn't you ask for help? You're so stubborn."
"Remember to call me next time you can't beat them, you hear me?"
Kanako nodded.
Muto Saika was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"You agreed!?"
Kanako said in a hoarse voice, "If you can find a way to get Nebula to stay, I'll agree."
"Let Nebula stay?" Mutou Saika asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Kanako: "The war in the Northwest has been basically quelled, and Seiun will be leaving with the rotating troops."
Muto Saika froze on the spot, then cracked open inch by inch.
"Why is it taking so long?" Outside the camp, Sarutobi Asuma, who was getting impatient while waiting, saw Shingetsu Seiun's figure and said urgently, "The advance troops have all set off, and we're the last ones to leave."
"I need to explain a few things," said Shingetsu Seiun, looking at Sarutobi Asuma. Before he could continue, Sarutobi Asuma interjected, "I know."
-
"I don't question what the captain does."
"Then, Captain, shall we depart now?"
"Set off."
The three of them, along with Uchiha Itachi, followed the retreating troops and began heading towards Konoha.
With their return to the village imminent, the three finally felt a great sense of relief. Sarutobi Asuma, in particular, happily hummed an unknown tune.
Seeing his happy expression, Kurenai asked, "Asuma, are you so happy to be back in the village?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "Shouldn't I be happy?"
Kurenai said, "I understand that Nebula is happy. But haven't you always wanted to make a name for yourself? It'll be much harder to do so once you go back to the village."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head.
"So what?"
"There's no rush to make a name for myself. After fighting for so long, can't I go back and rest for a bit?"
In fact, he knew that his thoughts had changed.
Before the war, he envisioned himself achieving great merit and fighting bravely against the enemy. However, after several fierce battles, he realized that his initial idea was somewhat naive.
Battlefield honors are not easy to earn. The daily tension and pressure made him increasingly exhausted.
As more and more enemies died before his eyes, watching their vibrant bodies gradually turn cold and lifeless, and knowing that his ninja career would continue with such killings and battles for the next few decades, he sometimes felt lost.
Now, all he wants is to go back to the village, eat a hot meal cooked by his mother, and relax a bit.
Temporarily forgetting the coldness of the battlefield, Sarutobi Asuma began to fantasize about home-cooked meals, and finally felt a little more relaxed and cheerful.
But this ease didn't last long.
Because Shingetsu Seiun started teaching Uchiha Itachi.
