"I'm really not tired!"

It might be tiring for other people, but Watanabe is different. No matter what he does, he does it harder and harder. This was the case when he was sparring with Tsunade, and it is also the same now when he is running for his life while carrying Jiri on his back.

Watanabe didn't want Jiri to underestimate him, so he gave her confidence: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get you out safely."

"Although we can't return to Konoha now, it's the same if we escape to the Country of Uzumaki. The Country of Uzumaki and Konoha are allies. As long as we get to the Country of Uzumaki, Hanzo will definitely not dare to attack us again."

It was obvious that Watanabe was much younger than him, but listening to the words coming out of his mouth at this moment, Jiri felt a sense of security that he had never felt from anyone before. This feeling of being protected... was

Is it called happiness?

Zhili put her cheek on his shoulder, the thoughts in her mind were very confusing.

How could this guy look like a disciple in front of me?

Among the other freshmen, who is not respectful and polite in front of the leading teacher?

You're good, you're amazing, you're aloof, you not only contradict and bully me, but you also want to protect me... Huh? Wait, did I forget something?

I think... there are other disciples?

Zhili suddenly came back to his senses, and only then did he think of Hinata Rei and Beiliu.

It's all Watanabe's fault. After meeting him, I couldn't calm down for a moment.

"How did you find me, Ling and Beiliuhu?" she asked.

Watanabe replied: "We split up. I'll look for you back. Rei returned to Konoha to bring reinforcements, while Beiliu stayed to protect Uzumaki Heiji and others. I guess Beiliu should abandon them and run away at this time."

Zhili was startled: "Why did you come back to me?"

Watanabe looked at her strangely, wondering if your question was nonsense.

"Of course it's because I'm worried about sensei. After all, sensei is facing a powerful enemy known as the pinnacle of the ninja world. It's normal for him not to be an opponent."

"Beiliuhu and Ling are also worried about the teacher, but they are not as strong as me. I will be more confident if I come alone. I hope they can escape alive tonight."

Watanabe's tone was very calm, but Chiri sounded very uneasy.

She could imagine how much danger Watanabe took to find her. Not only did he have to face the direct pursuit of Hanzo and others, but the mountains at that time were full of poisonous gas. If he smelled even a little bit, he would die.

It can be said that Bian had to go through almost nine deaths to find her.

He actually risked himself so much for me...

Jiri's beautiful eyes glowed with brilliance, and her arms unconsciously tightened around Watanabe's neck, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

"Teacher, don't be afraid."

Watanabe sensed Jiri's uneasiness and comforted him with a smile.

"I said, I will definitely take you out safely!"

No matter how powerful or cold the teacher is, she is still a girl after all. When a girl is in a desperate situation, she will definitely be afraid and want to find someone to rely on. Watanabe feels that he can be Jiri's support tonight.

Zhili has done enough, leave everything to him next.

"Chengtai, are your perceptions accurate?"

Three Amegakure Village ninjas jumped down from the treetops, and one of them questioned his companions.

The ninja named Chengtai nodded affirmatively: "It's not wrong. I really sensed chakra fluctuations in this area just now, but I don't know why the chakra fluctuations suddenly disappeared."

"It's not just the chakra fluctuations that have disappeared." His companion continued to question him, "We searched all the way, not to mention Uchiha Jiri, not even a single hair of hers was found."

"If you really perceive a mistake, let's not waste time here and quickly search in other areas. If Hanzo-sama thinks that we are doing something bad, no one will gain anything."

Chengtai still insisted on believing in his own perception: "Let's keep looking. Uchiha Jiri is extraordinary. Maybe she has special means to hide chakra fluctuations."

"It is indeed possible."

"Uchiha Jiri's life is too tough. He was clearly poisoned by Hanzo-sama, but he was still able to escape so far."

"After all, she is Konoha's ace ninja, how can she not be tough? Without Hanzo-sama, even if all of us are tied together, we are no match for her."

"..."

While the three of them were talking, they started searching the nearby area.

At the same time, Watanabe and Jiri were hiding behind a big tree at the scene. The two of them were concentrating and holding their breath, not even ten meters away from the nearest one of the three.

"Is one of them a sentient ninja? No wonder he chased me."

Watanabe tried hard to think of a way to break the situation.

The sentient ninja named Chengtai must die. If he doesn't die, even if he is not discovered now, he will definitely catch up with himself and Jiri following the chakra fluctuations later.

But if he wants to kill Chengtai, he will definitely be discovered by the other two Yuyin Village ninjas.

Can we just kill the three of them together?

Although Watanabe did not think that the three Amegakure Village ninjas had the ability to kill him and was not afraid of them, Jiri was afraid. Jiri was now weaker than ever and she would really die if she was killed.

Zhili was indeed scared at this moment.

She was afraid Watanabe would die.

She had fought against Hanzo and a group of Amegakure Village ninjas during the war, and she knew very well that the strength of those Amegakure Village ninjas were all above Special Jounin.

Once discovered by them, given her condition, she and Watanabe would definitely not be able to escape.

"If it weren't for saving me, Watanabe would have escaped to nowhere by himself."

Jiri felt that he had brought Watanabe into trouble and that he was not worthy to be the leader...

"teacher."

At this time, Watanabe touched her and wrote on the ground with his finger: "No matter what happens later, you will stay here."

Zhili wanted to ask him what he was doing, but the footsteps nearby were getting closer and closer, and the three of them were about to search for him.

Watanabe decisively formed the magic seal with his hands.

next moment--

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

A series of explosions exploded, and thousands of shadow clones swarmed out from behind the big tree, charging at the three people without fear of death.

"They are indeed hiding here!"

The three people reacted quickly and were not frightened by the massive enemies in front of them, and immediately launched a counterattack.

At this moment, Watanabe's body is still hiding behind the tree. He changes the magic seal in his hand again and uses the spirit transformation technique. His soul body flies straight up into the sky under the cover of the tree trunk. He looks down at the three people on the ground who are surrounded by shadow clones, as if

Falcon about to hunt.

"These are all shadow clones!"

"The shadow clone looks like it was cast by the few brats who were covering the retreat under Uchiha Jiri."

"It's not easy to use this kind of ninjutsu."

The three Ame Hidden Village ninjas quickly judged the situation and held ninja tools to continuously eliminate the shadow clones around them.

They knew that the real enemy was hiding behind the tree, and they wanted to kill him directly, but they were entangled by shadow clones one after another and couldn't get away.
