National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

And the distance is very close!

Eriri tensed up instantly and looked around the corner, where the scream was coming from.

Eriri glanced back at Bedohham and found that he was too frightened to speak.

He was trembling all over, his face was tense, and his lips were pale.

Eriri sighed, then quietly bent down and went to the corner to peek.

I saw two people.

Two strange people.

A man and a woman. The man's entire body was wrapped in white paper, leaving only the lower half of his face visible.

The woman's body was covered in patches, as if she were made of blank paper.

It's Xiao Nan.

At this point, 10 minutes had already passed since Pain invaded Konoha.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Something I Suddenly Remembered! Payne! Let's see how you're resurrected!

Swarms of slugs scattered and crawled onto the injured people, beginning to treat them.

The two halves of the Asura's body lay scattered among the rocks, like abandoned toys.

Two figures suddenly appeared to the side.

Wearing a black trench coat with a hood and an animal mask, he is a member of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.

"This is Payne? He's already dead?! Who did it?!"

One of them, wearing a cat mask, looked at Payne, who was now in two pieces, with a surprised tone.

"I don't know, but let's take it back to the Hokage first. We should be able to get some important information from Pain's body."

The dog mask replied, and the cat mask nodded, then prepared to squat down and pick it up.

Right at this moment!

--Bang!--

A figure descended from the sky! It made a loud noise and kicked up a cloud of dust.

　The cat and dog masks instantly disappeared, and the masked figures hid in the shadows, on guard.

Wu Yue waved his hands, constantly brushing away the surrounding dust, which made him cough.

"—Cough—Cough—Damn it—Cough—Cough—"

I felt a little regretful about making that superhero-style landing; not only was it loud, but the dust it kicked up completely blocked my vision.

The dog and cat masks, hidden in the shadows, were observing, beads of sweat beginning to appear on their foreheads.

Both of them are sensory ninjas, but they didn't sense Wu Yue's arrival at all.

Strange attire, blonde hair, and a woman—who could it be?

A spy from another country?!

Sudden!

The golden woman's figure vanished before their eyes!

They just vanished without a trace! What's going on?! Is it some kind of paranormal phenomenon?!

"What happened?! Where is she?!"

The dog-masked man asked nervously.

"I don't know, it seems...!"

The cat mask opened its mouth to answer, but before it could finish its sentence!

Below the left side of your field of vision!

Suddenly a long, black thing appeared!

I didn't even have time to react!

Take a closer look!

To my surprise, a stranger's arm was draped over my shoulder!

The dog mask was the same! And in his field of vision, it was in the lower right corner!

Looking out of the corner of my eye...

The blonde woman had somehow appeared between them!

"Don't do anything petty theft, you'll scare people to death, you know? Seriously."

Wu Yue began to speak.

The two people wearing cat and dog masks dared not utter a sound.

To arrive between them in an instant, without the presence of a sensory ninja, is incredibly powerful... Who could it be...?

"Don't move around here. I have something to do. I'll go see Tsunade with you guys in a bit."

Wu Yue patted the two men on the shoulders, then walked towards Payne, who was split in two on the other side.

Celestial Empire

"Holy crap, what's going on?! That's amazing! Does Wu Yue know teleportation?!"

"Holy crap! This guy's amazing! That set of moves was absolutely stunning! I'm getting it! He's got that lazy, otherworldly master vibe! He might complain and cough because of the dust, but he's incredibly powerful and can instantly kill two ANBU members!"

"Beautiful and fierce! Wu Yue! My goddess!"

"Ah... brothers... I think... I've fallen in love with Wu Yue..."

"Holy crap, this is huge! Guys, Wu Yue's Baidu Tieba account has been found! Holy crap!"

"Holy crap, is this for real?!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

In that instant, Wu Yue's Baidu Tieba account was flooded with private messages... and Wu Yue... as long as he's with a woman... he'll never have a moment of peace... from any perspective... there will be no more tranquility...

Free Country

The chat was completely silent.

"Oh my god...this...this feeling of a reclusive master, unique to China..."

"Oh my god... Can anyone tell me how Wu Yue did that... in just a moment... Wow... that's amazing..."

"Oh my god... I feel... I'll never find Wu Yue cute again... She's become that kind of confident older sister..."

--------

How did he manage to get to the center of the two of them in an instant?

Very simple.

Soul Skill: Slow Domain

Soul Skill: Flight

It's that simple.

Just a short while ago, as Wu Yue was traversing the rooftops of Konoha, heading towards the Hokage Rock and Tsunade's location, he suddenly remembered something...

"Oh no, I forgot, Payne can be resurrected."

So they returned to where they were.

Back to the present.

Wu Yue arrived in front of the two sections of the Asura Path, flicked his right hand, and summoned the Oath Holy Sword of Wind Protection.

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the two people wearing cat and dog masks, then gave a wry smile.

"Oh well, let them go. They've probably gone to report to Tsunade. I'll be going there soon anyway."

He then raised the holy sword high and began to slash at the two sections of the Asura Path, one stroke at a time.

It was chopped into a pile of dust.

Wu Yue pulled out a bed sheet from the surrounding ruins and wrapped it all up.

“I’ll hide you away, let’s see how you come back to life.”

Using his calves to propel himself up, Wu Yue leaped onto the rooftops of the surrounding houses and ran towards the location of the Fire Shadow Rock.
