In Konoha, Naruto lies down

This is a spherical space capsule that can fit two people if squeezed together. Naruto has carved a mark on the surface of the ninja tool, so if he jumps wrong, he can directly teleport to the platform and then make another space jump.

"Why are you holding me?"

"Afraid of death." Fenghua Xiaoxue said.

"Okay." He activated the space ninja tool with some helplessness.

The next moment, an iron shell suddenly appeared above Yunyin.

Chapter 237 I’m Just a Passing Uchiha Sasuke

The iron ball remained motionless in the sky above Kumogakure.

Inside, Fenghua Xiaoxue clung to Naruto's neck tightly, her legs clamped around his like scissors. She was so depressed that she even wanted to die.

Naruto had dragged him into this space-jumping ninja tool without a word, and the intense atmospheric pressure nearly caused his bladder to collapse. His entire body felt like it had been beaten, and his joints ached.

What's even more terrifying is that fortunately she clamped her legs together in time, otherwise she would have had to give her first experience to the damn atmosphere.

"Is this what you call safe?" She was going crazy.

Fenghua Xiaoxue has a naturally world-weary face, and she looks pretty even when she's angry. It's the kind of face that looks ordinary at first glance, but becomes more and more elegant the more you look at it.

Her father, the king, died before he could even finish his business. As a fugitive princess of the Snow Kingdom, she naturally hated her fate and the world. But fate, which is often ridiculous, gave her a window to her fantasy: to become an actress.

"Safe? I didn't say safe." Naruto struggled to pry her hands apart. "Wait a minute, let me stick my head out and see what's outside."

Naruto was about to get up. The iron ball was still hovering over Kumogakure, and he planned to take a closer look. If it wasn't from the Snow Country, he would send the space ninja tool over and continue jumping.

"Wait!" She realized something and suddenly grabbed Naruto's hand to prevent him from getting up in this small space.

"What?" Naruto looked at her in confusion.

"You didn't say that jumping would irritate... my bladder," Fenghua Xiaoxue said awkwardly, coughing to maintain her composure. "I'd like to ask if we can find a place to relieve ourselves."

She was extremely embarrassed, shy but also didn't want to lose face in front of a boy younger than her.

But the problem was, if she jumped again, she would lose control. Even so, she still didn't say this out loud. After all, it was normal for adults to have some dignity.

But she was also a little nervous. After all, this was a mission. If there was any danger involved, she would have to cooperate with the ninja to make the decision.

"Let me see where we are first." Naruto laughed and said indifferently, then held her down and slowly got up from the small sphere.

She sighed and asked Naruto, who had half of his body leaning out.

"where?"

"One good news and one bad news." Naruto's somewhat annoying voice came faintly.

"Good news!" Fengjian Xiaoxue said gritting her teeth.

"The good news is that you can go down and relieve yourself," Naruto said. "By the way, I have bad news for you. This is above the Hidden Cloud Village, and it seems we have been discovered."

"Discovered?" Fengjian Xiaoxue took a breath, and the words "What a bad luck" were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it out. It seemed that Naruto didn't care about being discovered.

Exhaling, she said nervously.

"That's inconvenient, run away!"

After a while, she didn't hear Naruto's reply, nor did she see him withdraw his body. She was suddenly startled. A bad premonition came to her mind, and she thought to herself that this was not such bad luck.

"I can't leave." He said after a moment of silence.

The iron ball was instantly sealed by Naruto, and he grabbed Kazama Koyuki as he fell. Their heights were almost the same, so he pulled Kazama Koyuki over and hugged her tightly.

From the perspective of the Kumogakure Chunin Squad that was chasing from a distance, a huge black spot in the air in the distance was falling rapidly!

"What is that?" asked the Kumogakure Chunin.

"I don't know, let's go over and take a look first." A voice answered and then passed by his side.

"Lord Darui?" The Chunin was startled when he saw the figure passing by him. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw three more figures passing by him.

It was Team Samui, a chuunin team led by a blonde, ice-cold-haired female jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village. They passed them and followed closely behind Darui, the elite jonin and right-hand man of the Raikage.

"Didn't Master Samui get sent to the front?" the Chunin muttered. "Why is he here?"

"Stop talking and catch up." His companions in the Chunin team walked past him and turned back to urge him.

In front.

There was a tradition in the Hidden Cloud Village that the guards of the previous Raikage were generally the designated candidates for the next Raikage. They were like the first and second in command of a bandit gang, the true black hand of the ninja world.

Darui is the second in command of the Hidden Cloud Village. His strength and status are comparable to Konoha's Kakashi. If you really compare them, they are roughly equal to 0.86 Kako-ge.

He has fading silver hair, dark skin, small eyes, a muscular build, a lazy personality, and a casual manner. He is good at lightning escape and fighting with wits.

Naruto felt a powerful gaze staring at him from several kilometers away, so he decisively released the iron ball and chose to fall freely with Kazama Koyuki without hesitation.

Midway down.

"Ah!" Fengjian Xiaoxue shouted subconsciously, but Naruto covered her mouth with his hand.

"Damn it, stop shouting!"

He threw a Flying Thunder God heavily towards the distant woods, and then instantly marked Fengjian Xiaoxue's body. The moment before landing, the two of them disappeared instantly with a bang.

Near the crash site.

Darui paused, observing carefully for a moment, then frowned. Half a minute later, Team Samui landed behind him.

"What's wrong?" Samui asked with an icy face, and her figure, which was so pale that it was dazzling, was the pride of the ninja world.

"The target of the invasion has disappeared," Darui replied, pausing before adding, "The enemy may be nearby. Search the area and be careful."

"I understand." Sam nodded expressionlessly.

Darui had already stepped forward and started searching. Samui turned around and said to the two Chunin subordinates behind him, "The enemy is nearby, search carefully."

"It's too dangerous. We'll get killed if we're not careful." Omoi said with a pessimistic face, holding a lollipop in his mouth. "Samui, I guess it's because Karui and I are the only Chunin that he wants us to be careful."

The icy female boss Samui looked at the two disappointing juniors with an expressionless face and spoke.

“That’s right”

The dark-skinned, red-haired girl, Karui, instantly lost her composure and punched Omoi.

"Go to hell, you pessimistic freak! We haven't even determined who the enemy is, and you're already saying such depressing things! Damn it! Even so, Senior Samui's words are still too hurtful."

The three lagging behind were still standing there, and the lone brave warrior Darui had already gone deep into the woods, slowly searching for the invaders.

.......

A forest somewhere in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Because it had just rained, the path in the forest was extremely muddy, and every step would crush the grass and trees into it. The leaves were wet with fresh rainwater, and everything was wet.

Their clothes were soaked by the rain from the branches of the tall vegetation around them, and they were walking deeper into the forest, one step deep and one step shallow.

Fengjian Xiaoxue shuddered and trembled with her arms hugged.

"Are we running for our lives?"

"I guess so." Naruto snapped a wet green branch in front of him, revealing lotus-white fibers at the broken end, drooping down.

"So it's the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village who are hunting us as invaders?" Fengjian Xiaoxue struggled to catch up, breathing heavily and asking, "Can't we clear up the misunderstanding?"

"My dear Princess, we are the invaders. There is a huge misunderstanding."

"I'm not a princess." Fengjian Xiaoxue said solemnly, her breathing a little rapid due to the rush. "Look at me now...how on my body...does it look like I'm a princess?"

"You have a good attitude. I hope you can still be stubborn when we are imprisoned together in the dungeon of the Hidden Cloud Village." Naruto chopped down the small tree in front of him with a sword and said without turning his head.

"Aren't you supposed to protect me?" Fenghua Xiaoxue said breathlessly, surprised, "I paid... a reward!"

Hearing this, Naruto paused. The cool sunlight after the rain pierced through the rain clouds and illuminated the forest. The light reflected by the dew was a bit dazzling. She saw Naruto suddenly turn around in the halo and smile at her.

"Before going on a mission, you should inquire about the character of the ninja who will be taking the mission."

Fenghua Xiaoxue's heart sank immediately. "I'll give you justice," he said, "that was all a lie." Although Naruto's attitude was unfriendly, she knew she had nowhere else to turn.

Only a madman would accompany him to overthrow the throne of a small country. The five major ninja villages naturally have to consider the impact and consequences of doing so, and the other small ninja villages do not have this ability.

Right now, Naruto is the only straw she can grasp.

Including the initiation of this mission, it was Naruto who was in charge. I don’t know what reason he used, but the mission was passed anyway. She just paid the money.

No matter what the content of his task was, it was impossible for him to openly prepare to overthrow the throne of the Snow Kingdom.

"Whatever you want, this is how my life is going to end." Fenghua Xiaoxue gave up, "Just die. If you get out, remember to bring people back to retrieve my body."

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Naruto continued to walk forward, "I still have some moral bottom line."

"Then can I kiss you a few more times before I die? I haven't..." Fenghua Xiaoxue followed, taking one deep step and one shallow step, "And I have a question now."

"what is the problem?"

"I want to release the water."

Naruto: “….”

The sunlight was pouring down from the lush forest. Fenghua Xiaoxue squatted in front of him, looked up at Naruto without any psychological burden and said.

"I almost forgot about what happened at sea. I finally managed to deceive myself into picking up the shame, but now I throw it in front of you lightly."

For no reason, Sakura's words flashed through Naruto's mind.

"Are you even a little bit excited about that?"

Damn, who would get emotionally upset over such a trivial matter.

Naruto stood calmly by the side and waited until Fenghua Xiaoxue stood up and told him to go, then he spoke.

"I never looked down on you."

"And we're not just an employment relationship, we're also..."

"Friend." Fenghua Xiaoxue interrupted, "I know, so I'm willing to believe you. Even if you abandon me, I won't blame you."

"I will wait for you to rescue me or bring back my body."

"That's good to know." Naruto nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll find a safe place for you to stay. Once it's safe, we can space jump again."

With that, he turned and walked deeper into the forest. Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, then followed him. Because she stepped too hard, she almost slipped and fell.

"how about you?"

"Me?" Naruto glanced back at her, "I've received the money, so of course I'm protecting the client. What else can I do?"

......

"He was suddenly called back from the front lines?" the red-haired girl, Karui, asked as she searched forward. "Senior Samui, do you know the reason?"

"This is what Lord Raikage meant."

"Perhaps they're afraid we'll die on the front lines, so..." Omoi said pessimistically. "If that's the case, even this mission isn't guaranteed to be completely safe."

"You bastard! Stop saying those discouraging words!" Red-haired Karui was furious and punched Omoi hard again before stopping.

The big sister Samui looked at her two funny subordinates and rubbed her shoulders expressionlessly.

"It's really tiring to carry out missions with you little brats."

"My shoulder pain might be because of you..."

"Stop nagging!" The red-haired girl, Karui, dragged Omoi away. "Stop airing your opinions. Find the enemy and get back home!"

"Don't worry, Darui is very strong." Samui still had an icy poker face, and tilted her head slightly. The mountain breeze after the rain blew her golden shoulder-length hair into an arc.

"He will definitely find the enemy before us. What we have to do is to prevent him from escaping."

Deep in the forest.

Naruto stopped, looked back, and said.

"Okay, that's it."

He pointed to the mountain ahead and said patiently, "You're hiding there, okay? Don't make any noise, and don't get too close to the mountain. It might be dangerous."

"Yes, that spot, a somewhat open one. You hid in the middle of it, with the bushes blocking the way."

"Then I'll go first." Fenghua Xiaoxue knew she had to obey him now. She ran a few steps in that direction and looked back at him. "What are you going to do?"

Naruto smiled, "I'm hiding somewhere safer."

Fenghua Xiaoxue obviously didn't believe it. She turned around and ran towards that direction with a nervous heart. She hid in the bushes and looked back. She saw a strange figure standing where Naruto was.
