Chapter 209 The Gaze of the Setting Sun in the Moonlit Night
With a powerful roar, the Eight-Tails turned and left.
Not only was Shingetsu Seiun astonished, but even the ninjas from Konoha and Kumogakure were shocked.
No—he's leaving already?
He said something harsh and then turned and left. Was he not going to continue fighting?
Killer Bee may or may not know what the two sides are thinking, but he doesn't care.
Because it's him who's in pain.
Even after transforming into its tailed beast form, the Eight-Tails could still feel pain. Imagine being hit in the face by such a massive fireball, burning every inch of its body – who could endure that?
This is Killer Bee's first battle against Nebula. There's no rush to decide the outcome. They should go back and study how to find the opponent's weaknesses before continuing the fight. A one-time all-out battle would be unwise.
Moreover, he didn't know that the Divine Moon Nebula needed some chakra to suppress the demonic artifact. The Eight-Tails told him that the opponent still had a lot of chakra left. Judging from the chakra consumption he sensed, the opponent was very likely to unleash another terrifying fire jutsu like before.
I'll go to hell with the Six Paths Sage!
He's not going to fight this battle!
As they raced away, A, who was fighting Minato Namikaze in the distance, saw this and had no choice but to abandon his attack. With a flash of lightning, he broke free from Minato's entanglement and retreated with the Eight-Tails.
The Cloud Village retreated like a receding tide. The Konoha ninja cheered in unison.
"The scum from Kumogakure is gone!"
"Minato-sama is the best!"
"Nebula Jonin is amazing!"
"sharp!"
"We're no longer afraid of those Cloud Village guys!"
After throwing a barrage of ninjutsu and explosive tags towards the direction of Kumogakure, the Konoha ninjas did not continue the pursuit. Instead, they collected the corpses and cleaned up the battlefield.
Half an hour later, at the Konoha camp.
When the support team returned, they were greeted with cheers from the Konoha ninja.
Shingetsu Seiun and Namikaze Minato also experienced a wave of welcome.
It's certain that he didn't just tag along. His name was among the cheers of the Konoha ninja.
His decisive victory over Killer Bee was enough to secure his position on the northern front, letting the ninjas know that he was as powerful as rumored.
With the arrival of the Nebula Jonin, Lord Minato will no longer have to face the pressure from Kumogakure alone.
The Jonin from Nebula has arrived, providing a skilled opponent to deal with Killer Bee!
Minato, sensing everyone's excitement, smiled and said to Shingetsu Seiun, "It seems everyone likes you."
Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "It is my honor to be recognized by everyone."
Minato Namikaze said, "That's normal."
"A ninja as excellent as you will surely be recognized by the villagers. Also—thank you."
Shenyue Xingyun: "What are you thanking me for?"
Minato Namikaze said seriously, "Jonin Nebula, you are even more outstanding than I imagined. With you here, the pressure on the northern front has been greatly reduced."
The two walked together toward the command tent, receiving enthusiastic glances from Konoha ninjas along the way.
Some cheered, some admired, and others stood quietly and watched the victorious heroes return.
Among the crowd was Kakashi Hatake's team, and the three of them looked at Shinzuki Seiun, who was surrounded by Minato Namikaze, with different expressions.
Nohara Rin's gaze was complicated.
"He's still so dazzling," she thought to herself.
Even when she was still in school, Shenyue Xingyun was always the center of attention.
Back then, it was because of his good looks that he was surrounded by female students from all grades. Now, although there are still quite a few female ninjas with bright eyes surrounding him, there are far more male ninjas.
It's no longer because of appearance, but because of the other party's strength.
To stand up to Killer Bee and repel the Jinchuriki who would cause Konoha so much trouble is an act that deserves the cheers and respect of the Konoha ninja.
In her heart, the figure locked in a cage called "scumbag" seemed to have quietly gained a lot of radiance. That radiance was not dazzling, but it made her feel a strange burning and anxiety in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, Nohara Rin forcefully suppressed the feeling, and mentally reinforced the cage with massive nails.
Nohara Rin, forget him.
He's not the right person for you.
no."
He kept telling himself this, but his hands unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes, and his gaze gradually became vacant.
"Crunch, crunch~" That was the sound of Obito Uchiha gritting his teeth.
Whenever he stood with Nohara Rin, a portion of his attention was always fixed on her.
He could always sense when the latter's emotions changed significantly.
Looking at the complex gaze of his beloved woman, he looked at Shenyue Xingyun in the crowd, his fists clenching unconsciously.
My teeth are aching slightly from biting them.
"Hey, tone it down a bit." Kakashi Hatake kindly reminded him from beside him.
Obito Uchiha certainly knew what the other party was talking about, but it would be difficult for him to do it.
The masseter muscles are still unconsciously exerting force.
Kakashi Hatake could only remind him again: "He is now a hero on the northern front."
"You've returned victorious, can you perhaps control your expression?"
"Think of the Third Generation, think of the Will of Fire."
"Perspective, perspective!"
Reminded by Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha had no choice but to force himself to suppress his expression in order to avoid attracting attention.
His deliberately upturned lips looked more like a sneer. Helpless, he simply raised his hands, tapped his heels lightly, and tried his best to appear as if he were celebrating a hero.
His hands were clapping in celebration, and his eyes were twitching. This strange sight, unfortunately, fell into the eyes of Shingetsu Nebula.
Seeing Obito Uchiha's strange posture of raising his hands and jumping, Shingetsu Seiun's heart skipped a beat.
What's going on? What's with this weird pose?
I came back from the battlefield, not from Dandong.
Their eyes met, and Obito's movements abruptly froze. His raised hands seemed caught between a rock and a hard place, and his twitching cheeks shook uncontrollably as if a switch had been flipped.
Kakashi Hatake stepped in and pulled his hands down.
In return, he received a glare from Obito Uchiha.
"It's all your fault, you embarrassed me again."
Kakashi Hatake: "I was clearly trying to help you, why are you blaming me?"
"I didn't ask you to help me."
Obito Uchiha: "If you hadn't reminded me with your 'big picture' thinking, I wouldn't have bothered."
Kakashi Hatake:
'
On the other hand, after withdrawing his gaze, Shingetsu Seiun no longer looked at Uchiha Obito.
He had gotten used to the latter's strange gaze, and even if they struck some incomprehensible poses, he was no longer surprised.
As he walked back to the camp with Minato Namikaze, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the setting sun over Uzuki.
Because the other person's gaze was also strange.
Her messy hair was casually pinned behind her head, and she had faint dark circles under her eyes, seemingly due to excessive mental exertion, but it didn't ruin her image.
At that moment, Uzuki Yuhi looked at him intently.
