Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

despair……

The sound of slight footsteps stopping sounded in this dark forest glade.

What's wrong, Anna?

Hearing this sound, Long Yan, who was walking in front, turned his head, glanced at Haneda Anna who suddenly stopped behind him, shoulders slightly raised, and his whole body was almost stiff, turned around and asked.

In the tone, there was a bit of nervousness and worry, as well as a slightly apologetic emotion.

Long Yan, let's do this, shall we?

Regarding this, Anna Haneda took a slight breath, seemed to have calmed down, and said shyly.

As he spoke, he looked around and took a look at the dark surroundings.

At this time, it had been half an hour since they left Haneda Ichiyo, and they had walked a considerable distance in a certain direction.

And in this glance, Haneda Anna already had a clear understanding of the terrain in her mind.

Although she is still young, she can still do it to this extent.

The location here is in the middle of four giant trees, and all the light is blocked by the surrounding four giant trees, so it is very dark. Although it is not the case that you can't see your fingers, it is darker than when it is cloudy. .

And this open space is still quite large. Proportionally speaking, if it is an ordinary forest, it can only accommodate one person here. There is room for ten people.

Still quite large.

Moreover, it extends in all directions. Although the giant trees surround this place, the upper part is already considered to be a mid-to-high altitude position. There is no problem for individuals to pass through the gaps between the branches at the same time, so it is not considered a sealed space.

It can also be regarded as a place to go or escape.

Otherwise, she would not have called Long Yan to stop at this time.

Don't worry, I will protect you.

In response, Haneda Tatsuhiko stepped forward, lightly grabbed Haneda Anna's hand, and said.

No! That's not what I meant. Let's leave Brother Yiye there, okay? Is he okay by himself?

Hearing this, looking at Tatsuhiko Haneda's face close in front of her eyes, Anna Haneda shook her head repeatedly and said.

In the words, it was full of worries about Haneda Kazuyo.

So it's because of that idiot Yiye!

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Haneda Tatsuhiko's mouth twitched immediately, he gently put down Haneda Anna's soft and greasy little hand, rolled his eyes, turned his head away, and said rather unhappily.

Hmm... You threw the scroll to him just now, and I saw many people staring at him. Will Brother Yiye be besieged? It seems that one of the conditions for passing the exam is to get two scrolls.

In this regard, Haneda Anna said so.

As for Tatsuhiko Haneda's dissatisfied attitude towards Ichiyo Haneda, she didn't seem to notice it, and she was obviously used to it.

Some even knew that Tatsuhiko Haneda would definitely say that.

Don't worry, this bastard can't die. I'm more worried about the fate of those who besieged him.

In this regard, although he was full of dissatisfaction and displeasure, Haneda Tatsuhiko still said so.

However, there should be many very good people in this exam.

Hearing this, Anna Haneda was still a little worried, and said.

Don't worry, Teacher Heyin has handed over the ninja sword to him, he will never die.

Hearing this, Tatsuhiko Haneda sighed, but turned his head away, and said reluctantly.

If you can't die, you will still be injured.

Regarding this, Anna Haneda was still very worried.

He's a ninja, it's no big deal if he gets injured, as long as he doesn't die.

Hearing this, Tatsuhiko Haneda seemed a little impatient, and said carelessly.

Okay, okay! Trust me, okay? Stupid... No, Yiye must be fine, I don't believe anyone can hurt him. He is the strongest in our Caoyin Village.

However, soon, seeing the mist in Xing Nai's eyes, he hurriedly changed his words, and his tone softened.

Really?

Regarding this, Haneda Anna looked at him barkingly and asked again.

Really...really, of course it is true.

And looking at Xing Nai who was barking at him, Haneda Tatsuhiko's heart and breath were suffocated at the same time, and he said in a panic.

But……

Regarding this, it seems that Anna Haneda still has doubts and wants to speak again.

I know, you still want to ask me, why did you throw the Book of Earth to him in public, so that he would be noticed by everyone.

Hearing this, Tatsuhiko Haneda sighed slightly, interrupting Xing Nai's words.

Uh-huh!

In response, Anna Haneda nodded repeatedly.

Obviously, Haneda Tatsuhiko guessed what she wanted to ask.

It starts with why the idiot Yiye gave me the scroll. Obviously, the idiot Yiye wants to cultivate my ability to resist stress, and it is a test for me.

To this, Tatsuhiko Haneda sighed and said.

Yeah, and then!

However, Anna Haneda didn't seem to care about it at all, and rather perfunctorily asked him to speak quickly.

In response, Tatsuhiko Haneda pulled the corner of his mouth almost instantly.

If I pass the test, then he may have to leave Caoyin Village.

But, in the end, he still said honestly.

Leaving Caoyin Village? Brother Yiye? Impossible! Brother Yiye is our family, how could he leave home?

In response, Haneda Anna took a step back suddenly, her cute little head shook like a rattle, and there was even a sharp sound in her mouth.

Obviously, this is very unacceptable.

Silly girl, can't you hear it? He said that he can't guard Caoyin Village forever. Obviously, he is leaving! That guy... Yiye is different from us, he... shouldn't stay in...

Regarding this, Tatsuhiko Haneda looked at the unacceptable Anna in front of him, pursed his lips, and finally swallowed the comforting words and told the truth.

No! Brother Yiye has paid so much for us, he...he can't leave! Long Yan, you lied to me!

But this time, Haneda Anna didn't let him finish speaking, and interrupted him crying.

Hey... Xing Nai, let me finish talking first, okay...

But at this time, Haneda Tatsuhiko showed a calmness beyond his age, looking at the cute little girl who was about to cry, he said with a wry smile.

Um?

However, he still didn't finish this sentence.

When he said the word good, his face suddenly changed, with a look of horror, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Xingna suddenly, took a step forward, and protected Haneda Xingna behind him.

Aggression!

And at this moment, amidst the sound of kunai piercing the ground, four kunai shot into the ground around them from top to bottom.

Wow!

The detonating talisman fluttered, but it surrounded them!
