Chapter 71: Who Asked You to Save Me?!

“Twilight Blade…”

Uehara slowly spreads out his palm. A purple chakra broadsword appeared beside Uehara; it looked like a clear crystal but unusually sharp.

It’s quite pleasing.

Killing a group of Konoha Root ninjas gave him such a rewarding inheritance mission.

What’s a surprise?

This is a surprise!

But now was not the time to celebrate since Konan’s battle was not over yet, although Uehara thought that it was not far from finishing.

How could these Konoha Root ninjas compete with Konan?

“Destiny…”

Uehara whispered and activated his Destiny skill. A small image of Zetsu appeared in his mind.

Sure enough, he was still following them!

What strange ideas does this guy have?

It’s a pity that this guy was still lurking underground. Uehara didn’t know what it wanted to do. Was it just monitoring them?

Underground.

White Zetsu sensed the battle above and said quietly, “The little guy Uehara Naraku ended the battle too quickly. He killed two teams of ninjas in less than half a minute… If we go out now, he will find us, right?”

“Don’t worry.”

Black Zetsu sighed, “Wait a little longer. When the battle becomes messier, we’ll secretly hide the intelligence scroll on a corpse.”

Since Uehara didn’t want to reveal his strength which meant he couldn’t directly dig through the ground and lift them out. He could only turn to watch Konan’s battle.

Konan’s figure fluttered through the air, evading ninjutsu one after another, and charged towards the Konoha Ninja!

Uehara actually found it a bit pretty.

No wonder Uchiha Madara shouted and danced every day…

Some ninja fights were much better than dancing!

“Shintenshin no Jutsu!” (Mind Body Switch Technique)

Just now, Yamanaka Fu, who was hiding in the corner observing the battle, suddenly found an opportunity. His hands aimed at Konan, who was flying!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment!

The next second, the situation reversed.

There were always some weird secret techniques that could cause an earth-shattering reversal in a desperate situation and counter-kill the enemy.

Konan suddenly fell straight down!

The Mind-Body Switch Technique of the Yamanaka clan, as long as it hits the enemy, it would deprive the enemy of control of their body. People with strong mental energy could also control the enemy’s body.

“The battle has been reversed…”

Uehara couldn’t laugh or cry when he saw this scene, and his body leaped into the air, rushing towards Konan, trying to catch her in the air.

Who expected that when Uehara caught Konan, she would open her eyes and look straight at Uehara and shout, “You guys shouldn’t underestimate Konoha’s ninja!”

A paper spear suddenly appeared on Konan’s hand and pierced Uehara to his chest!

The Mind-Body Switch Technique controlled Konan’s body too!

Uehara was shocked and subconsciously wanted to use the sacred moment and then attack the blue-haired woman next to him!

He has too many skills to deal with this kind of situation.

However, he remembered Konan’s attitude towards him…

Uehara’s palm felt the warmth and softness of Konan’s waist. He gritted his teeth and dodged, causing the spear to avoid the critical parts of his body and hit his shoulder instead.

If she accidentally hurt him, she would definitely not refuse his disciple’s request out of guilt.

Since ancient times, affection could not be kept. Only routines were stable.

Uehara sighed. Why was Konan so strict with him?

Should he exchange a shoulder injury for a black robe with a red cloud imprint or the right to read the Icha Icha Paradise freely?

Only children would accept multiple-choice questions. Uehara would take it all!

The Mind-Body Switch of Yamanaka Fu did not last long. Konan had a mental strength that far exceeded his expectations.

Konan soon woke up.

While the woman’s eyes cleared, her body could not move, allowing Uehara to embrace her and land on the ground.

When the two landed safely, Konan’s gaze moved slowly, passing the strong smile on Uehara’s face and landing on the wound made by the paper spear on Uehara’s shoulder.

The blue-haired woman’s eyes gradually became complicated.

Was it guilt?

Was it distressed?

No, it was fear!

A moment later!

“Who asked you to save me!!”

Konan suddenly raised her palm!

And was about to slap Uehara’s face!

“Konan-sensei?”

Uehara looked at Konan’s movements with a confused and dazed expression. Why did it deviate from his plan?

Clearly, he risked his life to save her!

The next second, Konan stopped the movements in her hands and slowly squatted down and hugged Uehara, tears streaming from her eyes onto his shoulders, “I’m sorry…”

“Futon, Kazekiri no Jutsu!” (Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique)

“Futon, Shinkugyoku!” (Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere)

Konoha ninja did not waste this chance, as shurikens and ninjutsu flew in their direction.

Konan’s body instantly turned into sheets of white paper, quickly forming a paper shield, blocking all of the wind ninjutsu and shurikens.

The paper shield quickly spread out again!

Countless pieces of white paper flutter about as if the wind was carrying them!

A circle of white paper instantly surrounded Konoha’s Root ninja!

“Die!”

Konan’s angry voice boomed from the white paper. Countless sheets of paper folded and turned into paper shurikens that shot at the Root ninjas.

In the circle of origami, the Root ninjas tried to defend, but there were paper shurikens in all directions, and there was no room for evasion or defense.

After an attack, the paper shuriken would circle back and go forth again and again.

Paper shurikens pierced through the enemy’s blood-stained bodies and quickly turned the circle of paper blood-red!

After a while, the ninjas fell silent.

No, there was one person still alive.

Yamanaka Fu.

The leader of the Konoha Root ninja, Shimura Danzo’s pro-confidante, looked at the origami floating around him in horror.

“How should I kill you?”

Konan appeared in front of Yamanaka Fu with a gloomy voice. A paper spear reappeared in her hand, pinning him to the ground!

He looked over the corpses of his surrounding companions. A flash of fear and anger appeared on his face. His first thought was to bite his tongue and kill himself.

Crack!

Konan’s kick shattered Yamanaka Fu’s chin!

“Sensei… Information…”

Uehara, in the distance, noticed that and stopped the angry Konan.

Uehara was now asking Haku to help him bandage the wound. Even if Haku’s speed were slower, his injury would heal.

After all, the life energy recovery rate of the Fantics’s armor was very quick.

After hearing Uehara’s words, Konan’s movements stopped, and her sanity gradually began to recover.

“I know.”

Konan sighed with relief, fearing that the anger and worry in her heart would gradually dissipate. Her palms quickly form a hand seal, “Kuchiyose…Ningendo!” (Human Path)
