Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 176 Cliff

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan had regained its black color, someone immediately commanded, "Now's the time, go!"

Hua Ling, wielding a knife, charged forward as well.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you blocking my attack?"

"Sorry, but I just want to be the one who kills 'Shisui the Fleeting Soul'."

"Damn it, don't even think about stealing my credit!"

Other ninjas nearby, upon hearing this, began to scramble for the position. Fame in the ninja world was within reach; who wouldn't want to be that person?

Shisui seized the opportunity to kill a few more people, but the flow of chakra within his body became increasingly slow and almost stopped, making it impossible for him to unleash much of his power. He couldn't even maintain his Sharingan, let alone activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"We still don't know if Hua Ling is alright!"

This is also the driving force that has kept him going: "I really want to see her one last time."

"What are you doing? Give it your all! Try to leave some alive!" the leading elite Jonin of the Cloud Village roared.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hua Ling sprinkled some medicinal powder and released a wind-type ninjutsu to make the powder drift in all directions.

She would have forgotten what she was carrying if it weren't for the poisoning from the stagnant water.

She grabbed Zhishui's arm and put it on her shoulder, and with a leap, temporarily escaped the encirclement.

Yunyin hadn't expected that something so sure of success would suddenly turn into a surprise attack. They hadn't noticed it after being in the thick of things for so long, but now was not the time to consider that.

"Chase them all, they can't escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone except the ninjas who had inhaled the drug powder and were temporarily unable to move rushed after him.

This body can only unleash its true power when wielding a bow and arrow; other abilities are merely supplementary.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer, Hua Ling stopped temporarily behind a large tree, settling Zhi Shui behind it. She took out the bow and arrows she carried on her back and nocked five arrows with 'explosive tags' onto the bowstring. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The arrow pierced the sky and flew directly towards the pursuers.

Several more explosions followed, temporarily halting the arrival of those who were following behind.

After doing all this, Hua Ling picked up Zhi Shui and fled again.

"Hua Ling, don't worry about me." Zhi Shui said, regaining his senses.

"It's impossible." Hua Ling glanced at Zhi Shui, "No matter what you say, it's useless."

"Hua Ling, the Fire Kingdom needs you," Zhi Shui advised from another angle.

"Nothing is more important than you." Hua Ling stopped again.

Looking at the pursuers, she nocked another arrow, this time with ten arrows on the bowstring.

"Attention everyone!"

The Cloud Hidden side blocked the incoming arrows, unaware that another arrow was hidden inside and exploded right above their heads.

"Hold your breath!" someone warned, but many people still fell for it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Ling nocked five more arrows and shot them out.

"Puff puff puff..."

Almost simultaneously, five Cloud Village ninjas were blown in the head, but that wasn't the end of it; several more explosions followed.

After shooting the arrow, Hua Ling didn't even glance at it before running away with Shisui again. If someone used ninjutsu to restrain her, she couldn't unleash her full power.

As she was leaving, she was still struck by a kunai shot from the shadows.

Hua Ling remained silent, afraid that Zhi Shui would find out and force her to abandon him and run away, but how could that be possible?

Having learned from the experience of the Cloud Ninja twice, Hua Ling's arrows were basically ineffective, only able to injure people when they were caught off guard.

She never intended to hurt anyone; she just wanted to provide a slight barrier.

As time went by, Hua Ling's arrows were running out, and she hadn't yet figured out a way to escape.

She touched the quiver at her waist. "Is this the last one?"

"Hmm... I'll just have to try that move." A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, but the next second it aggravated her wounds, causing her to frown.

She took a deep breath, put down the still water, and walked out from behind the tree. She nocked the arrow and drew the string in one smooth motion.

"call out..."

A streak of blue light pierced the sky, heading straight towards the direction from which the Cloud Village ninjas were pursuing them.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The Cloud Village reacted quickly, with several Earth Release ninjas immediately using this ninjutsu to stop the arrow.

The arrow stopped after piercing through five walls.

Seeing this, the lead ninja breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered, "Quickly, give chase! They're at their last gasp."

The next second, the arrow suddenly exploded, and a huge wind dragon coiled around it, blowing the Cloud Village ninjas to pieces wherever it went, their fates unknown.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Ling led Zhi Shui on another escape, thinking, "This time we should be able to get away."

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Looking at the cliff in front of her, Hua Ling felt a sense of frustration.

According to the timeline of the story, there should still be two years before Uchiha Shisui commits suicide. Even if the story is going to end, there's no need to bring it forward so early!

Hua Ling really didn't expect that the main characters would imprison Shimura Danzo. She thought this plot shouldn't happen, but she didn't expect it to appear in this way.

"Run! Run away!"

Yunyin caught up and mocked, already imagining how they would punish the two once they caught them, as well as how they would commemorate those who had died this time.

"Brother, are you scared?" Hua Ling asked, looking down at Zhi Shui.

Zhi Shui opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her to leave, but thinking of what she had said earlier, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference. She would definitely not leave alone. It was impossible for him not to be moved. He stared at her intently, as if trying to see into the soul within her.

If there is a next life, he will definitely find her, no matter what she looks like.

Shisui uttered a soft sound, "I'm not afraid."

"That's good." Hua Ling stood up, enduring the pain from her wounds. She looked at the Cloud Village ninja not far away and forced a smile, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke, "Want to catch me? In your next life!"

Before she finished speaking, Hua Ling turned around and, with Zhi Shui in her arms, leaped down.

"I'm so sorry, Shisui, but I still couldn't change your fate."

Hua Ling didn't know the feelings Zhi Shui had when he committed suicide in the story, but she thought he must have been very lonely. At least this time he wasn't lonely anymore, because she was with him.

With a splash, the two fell into the water.

The water was quite deep, and the cold water stimulated Hua Ling's wounds. Her head, which had been feeling a bit dizzy, was now much clearer.

Too much blood had been lost, turning the water a deep red. She began to feel dizzy again, and unconsciously pushed the still water upwards before plunging into darkness.

In the darkness, Zhi Shui couldn't see the color of the water, but how could he not smell such a strong stench of blood? Only then did he realize how serious Hua Ling's injuries were, and that she was still thinking of saving him.

An indescribable emotion spread through his heart, his black eyes turned scarlet again, and the stagnant chakra within Shisui began to flow once more.

He grabbed Hua Ling, who was sinking, and without thinking, covered her mouth with his to breathe. "He just wanted her to live; he didn't think about anything else."
