Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Well... You are right about this question. I am actually dead."

Xue Nai paused slightly for the two people's question with a strong puzzled tone, but sat down slowly, and made a "please" gesture, signaling the two to sit down, in a long-talking manner. The posture opened the mouth.

"That……"

Seeing Yukina's actions and hearing Yukina's words, Hinata Ningji and Hinata Hinata also sat down, and asked with a little hesitation in their mouths.

already dead?

How can it be?

Are we actually dead?

And there was a thump in their hearts.

The dead people stand in front of them, the only possibility they can think of is that this space is actually the space of the dead, which is the so-called Paradise of Elysium.

No.

It doesn't look like the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss here, it should be the world after death, maybe the so-called Paradise of Ultimate Bliss is just a deceptive thing, so that people will not be afraid of the afterlife.

But looking at the current situation, their aunt Xue Nai has been staying here for more than ten years, which undoubtedly made them think of a more terrifying thing.

Then, they may be trapped here forever, and their souls may also suffer from this long time of torture.

Undoubtedly, they may have to face the most terrifying fact next.

Not only did they die.

Moreover, it will be trapped here forever and will not be reborn.

No, there is nothing more terrifying than this.

"Is this the world after death, the Paradise of Paradise?"

Then, in the next second, they asked almost subconsciously.

"No, not here."

Regarding this, Xue Nai shook her head and said the negative they most wanted.

"However, this is the world after death, I think it should be quite accurate."

However, in the next second, Xue Nai's words made their hearts hang again.

"As far as I know, the people here are basically dead."

At the end, she also added a sentence.

Is it the world of bliss...

It seems that the theory of the afterlife is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And in her mind, such a thought flashed through.

Obviously, he was quite moved by the two children's words about the world of bliss.

basically dead...

Could it be, really...

And at this time, after hearing a series of words from their aunt Yukina, Hinata Neji and Hinata Hinata couldn't help showing a look of panic on their faces.

Even if he died, he would be trapped in this dark space forever and suffer the torment of time. Even a senior ninja would probably be unstoppably afraid, even though Ningji Hinata and Hinata in front of him were not What kind of weak-willed people, but they are still children after all, not yet mature enough, at this moment, there is already some panic and panic.

"Then, are we stuck here too?"

But at this time, they almost blurted out, they asked eagerly.

"you?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai raised her head, looked at the two of them, and repeated it with a little surprise.

"Um!"

In this regard, the two nodded again and again.

"Don't you know it yourself?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai suddenly laughed.

These two kids are so cute no matter how they look!

But in her heart, there was a small interruption.

"without."

Regarding this, Hinata Ningji and Hinata Hinata certainly didn't know about their aunt's interruption, but they shook their heads again and again at this time, expressing the three words "don't know" extremely strongly.

"Are you breathing?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai completely laughed, and said.

"breathe?"

Hearing this sentence, the two were slightly taken aback, and then you looked at me, and I looked at you for a while.

Next, take a deep breath.

Um……

They can breathe.

Then, they were sure that they were still breathing.

"have."

Then, after confirming, they spoke almost dully.

"Then are you dead?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai could hardly restrain her laughter.

"Well……"

But upon hearing this sentence, and seeing that Xue Nai could hardly hold back her laughter, Hinata Ningji and Hinata Hinata reflected at the same time, their cheeks flushed, but they lowered their heads in unison, full of laughter. Embarrassment was written all over his face.

Thinking about my behavior just now, I am really sorry for my status as a ninja, and I was so frightened that I lost my normal thinking logic.

Being a ninja is definitely a gaffe.

If the person sitting opposite is not a friend but an enemy, they may have handed over their names to someone else.

However, Hinata Ningji and Hinata Hinata still didn't realize at this time that if the girl in front of them was really an enemy and not a friend, they probably wouldn't be so brainless.

The reason why they didn't think about it just now was entirely because they knew that the girl in front of them, their Aunt Xue Nai, would not do them any harm.

Besides, if it was going to be bad for them, he had already attacked them just now. Under the sneak attack, Hinata Neji was confident in protecting himself, but Hinata was not necessarily, and he could still cut one person.

Moreover, in Qianye's narration to Xue Nai, they already developed a kind of admiration for this aunt who can improve the soft fist technique and make it ten times or even a hundred times more powerful. Longing for it.

Especially, when I heard that this aunt drained the last drop of blood in order to save Teacher Qianye, on top of this reverence, I was also moved. In terms of personality, this Aunt Xue Nai seems to be It is even taller.

That's why, the girl in front of them obviously looked about the same age as them, but after learning her identity, they immediately called out to her aunt.

If it wasn't for their yearning and deep admiration, how could they be willing to call them elders in the first place when facing someone who seems to be the same age?

Therefore, the reason why they lost their ability to think this time was largely because of the existence of someone they admired and admired, which made them feel safe from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were in their own home, with their relatives. Discuss and negotiate without any pressure and burden.

Even, to a large extent, they have forgotten that they are in the dark, surrounded by unknown and fearful environments.

Coupled with the temperament of Xue Nai in front of them, who has the temperament of a superior, and has the pampering feeling of the elders in the eyes of the conversation, so unconsciously, they have returned to the state of thinking of children.

Throw away the ninja layer.

In the final analysis, in fact, Xue Nai made them feel safe, and because it was too safe, they did not use the ninja thinking mode because of excessive relaxation.

"Strictly speaking, I am already dead, but you are different. This is not necessarily the world after death. For me, there are too many unknowns here. However, what we can know now is that this place can accommodate People who are dead and people who are not dead can be seen from you and me."

Regarding this, Xue Nai slowly suppressed her smile and said so.

There are still many unknown places...

No.

is too much.

Aunt Xue Nai, are you still not sure what's going on here?

And at this time, the two people who heard this sentence also put away the embarrassment, and Ningji Hinata was keenly aware of something, and such a thought turned in his heart.

"So, this place cannot be the Paradise of Elysium."

And when Hinata Neji turned such an idea, Hinata Hinata opened her mouth.

"Yes, this is not what we call Paradise, and this world has no concept of space, and even if we can perceive time, we don't have the concept of time either."

Regarding this, Xue Nai spoke again.

In the past ten years, although I don't know how long it has passed, Xue Nai can perceive the passage of time. There is a feeling of time here, but there is no concept of time. It can be said that it is a rather terrible thing.

Without the concept of time, it can almost be said to be endless. With the feeling of time, it is tormented in the endless.

Because time, in the current environment, is definitely a negative word, especially when there is no way out, it is absolute torture.

The spaceless concept of space seems to serve the torture of time.

At least, Xue Nai used to count silently by herself, walked for half a year, and never walked out of this space, not even the corners and corners, all the places are the same.

Although it is not easy to tell the direction without a reference object, she has white eyes and has the ability to draw a straight line in a wide range of sight. She can still be sure that she is walking in a straight line of.

And compared to Neji and Hinata, she has no physical body. In the state of the soul body, her already huge and terrifying chakra amount is even more endless, and the consumption of white eyes is almost negligible.

No need to rest either.

In the past six months, along a straight line, most of the ninja world is almost gone. No matter how huge this space is, there must be something that cannot be covered.

But, walking around, she found nothing except encountering dozens of spirit bodies who were also trapped here.

Even after contacting those friendly and unfriendly souls, she became more convinced that there is no concept of space here.

The entire space is an existence that slowly tortures them with time.

Moreover, she is not the first being to come to this space. She once met a being who is particularly sensitive to time and has existed here for at least a hundred years. When she saw him, this soul body His eyes were already dull, and he was almost unable to speak, only the desperate murmurs in his mouth expressed the repeated words that had lasted for a hundred years.

"The cage of time..."

And hearing those words from Xue Nai, Hyuga Neiji seemed to be a ghost, and suddenly spit out such a sentence.

"Yes, compared to any space, this place is more like a cage. It is a cage that uses time to torture sinners. It is very appropriate to say that it is a cage of time."

To this, Xue Nai nodded and said affirmatively.

"So, we... are all sinners?"

And hearing what the two said, Hinata Hinata spoke.

Between the words, there was quite a lack of confidence, and it sounded like a feeling of fear.

After all, for a qualified daughter of the Hyuga Clan's prostitute, what kind of imprisonment or cage is almost a psychological shadow.

Although she knew that she couldn't be afraid now, and she didn't need to be afraid, but she still couldn't restrain the fear, and almost trembled between her figures.

"How did you get in here?"

And hearing this sentence, Xue Nai glanced at Hinata, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, indicating that she need not be afraid and don't be afraid, and after comforting Hinata, she asked.

But quietly changed the subject.

"It was a blood moon silver-robed person who opened this place, and we were thrown into this space."

Hearing Xue Nai's words, Hinata Ningji paused for a moment, seemed to organize his words, and spoke.

"Blood moon silver robe man? Uchiha... Nobuhiko?"

But he didn't expect that his words, which had been very calm at first, gave them a sense of peace of mind, but Xue Nai's face changed suddenly, and she almost stood up.

"Nobuhiko Uchiha?"

In this regard, Hyuga Hinata was surprised by Xue Nai's actions and subconsciously repeated the name.

And added my own doubts.

And Ningji Hyuga raised his head in astonishment, and opened his eyes wide.

At this moment, the girl who was almost standing up had a face full of gloom, as if she had realized something very terrible.

Or rather, something very bad.

For a moment, Ningji Hyuga's heart skipped a beat, and his heart beat sharply because of vague panic.

Vaguely, he felt that the words Uchiha Nobuhiko itself represented a nightmare existence.

Yeah……

I get it, I get it!

Although I don't know why there are more than a hundred years of soul bodies here, but what is certain is that this cage of time is Uchiha Nobuhiko's time and space ability.

True, space-time capabilities.

This cage, he can open and close.

It can even grasp the existence that has not yet died.

At this moment, a series of thoughts flashed through Xue Nai's mind.

At the same time, scene after scene flashed in her mind, especially the two roads that appeared in front of her when the soul state said goodbye to Qianye and walked that section of the road.

A light and warmth.

A line of darkness filled the air.

Yes, after she walked through Huangquan Road, there were actually two roads in front of her.

At that time, she almost instinctively chose which bright and warm path to take.

However, just when she stepped on that road, the scenery in front of her eyes changed suddenly. When she came back to her senses, she was already walking on that dark road, and she no longer had The method retreated.

After that, come here.

But now it seems that it is obvious that Nobuhiko Uchiha has messed up, interfering in the cycle of life and death, no matter how you look at it, it can only be something that Nobuhiko Uchiha can do!

"Not good, Chiba!"

And thinking of this, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Since it was done by Uchiha Nobuhiko, there is only one reason, so there is no need to think too much about it.

That is……

His old enemy, Chiba!

All of this is to deal with Chiba!
