Chapter 27: The Cliff Fall

  All day, many female students at the Water Country Ninja School unexpectedly found that Snow-kun, who had always been calm and gentle in the past, was somewhat restless today. In class, he maintained a state of anxiety, his attention seemingly not on the teacher's lesson content at all. Even when one teacher called out to him, it was as if he hadn't heard. If it weren't for the fact that the teacher was a woman, with the Water Country's usual educational style, the consequences of "ignoring the teacher" would not have been light.

  Today was unusually long for Bai, although he knew that Ruo Canshen would rather have him attend classes properly. However, it had been almost a year since they last saw each other, and yesterday they finally met again. Except for the guidance session, if you don't count Ruo Canshen's murmurs to himself, he hardly said anything to Bai at all.

  Bai didn't have any extravagant hopes of chatting with Ruo Cui, just being able to see Ruo Cui's figure was enough to make Bai feel very satisfied.

  I really want to see an adult soon! Under this thought, Bai told the first lie of his life.

  Racing back to the dormitory, Bai couldn't help but pat his own cheek. He hadn't expected that when he asked for a leave of absence from the teacher, he would be so calm and composed, without any hesitation in his words.

  Wasn't he actually very good at lying? Bai shook his head hard, shaking off the absurd thoughts in his mind.

  With an expectant heart, I opened the door of the dormitory.

  The empty room seemed to be mocking Bai's original excitement.

  What's going on! Is the master not at home?

  A sense of unease in his heart, Bai knew that Ruo Cans wasn't the kind of person who would leave without saying a word to him. Moreover, Bai was aware that Ruo Can's physical condition was currently far from his usual standard.

  Here is one of the Five Great Nations, to some extent the most chaotic Water Country, and also the Fog Nin with a reputation for ruthlessness...... Bai is worried about Yue'er.

  In the midst of panic, Bai suddenly remembered the function of the blood crystal that was mentioned last night when he was half asleep and half awake.

  Bai continuously poured his chakra into the Blood Crystal, until about 80% of his chakra was depleted, a faint glow finally appeared on the crystal.

  I didn't think the "little" chakra that adults said could resonate would be so much, and to maintain the existence of the light point, I couldn't stop supplying chakra either... I just hope I can find the adult before my own chakra is consumed!

  Bai followed the bright spots on the blood crystal and found her way, but the increasingly desolate surroundings made Bai feel more and more panicked.

  Always searching to the edge of a valley near the southern forest, Bai's Chakra was finally exhausted. Not giving up, Bai desperately continued to search around and finally found a suspicious wooden hut on a cliff.

  This probe happened to see someone wanting to hurt Ruo Can, and under the shock, Bai's body involuntarily blocked this whip attack.

  "You're late, Bai." The tone was as calm and casual as discussing the weather.

  "Sorry, sir." Bai didn't even notice the searing pain on his body, but when he saw the bloodstains on Ruo's face, his mind was filled with inexpressible regret.

  If only I could find the adult earlier... Bai Ren couldn't help but grit his teeth, unwilling to accept that his strength was far from meeting the requirements. He still needed to become stronger.

  "I'm just stating the facts, no offense intended, let's go." Yu Rong lightly shook his head, casually raised his sleeve to wipe his face, and after the bloodstains faded away, there were no scars on Yu Rong's face.

  "But she, that person, hurt you!"

  "What's the point of that? Are you going to kill her just because she's white?" Wu Zetian couldn't believe Bai would change so easily.

  "I... but... you..."

  If I had known earlier, it would have been better, but unfortunately, I still couldn't bring myself to do it.

  "I promised you I wouldn't kill her, and I won't, unless you want to do it yourself." Ruins gazed at Bai, as if waiting for his decision.

  Only saw Bai Zhang opened his mouth a few times, but in the end he didn't make a sound. He shook his head silently, and although he knew that Bai probably still couldn't bring himself to do it, when faced with this answer, there was still a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

  White, still not ruthless enough. In the ninja world, those with soft hearts are usually the first to die. White is already mine, I won't let him die early. If Ran said so in his heart.

  Senpai Kawakami Chiyo was taken aback when her crush suddenly appeared in front of her, and she froze for a moment.

  And yet, seeing that little devil's completely different behavior from before when facing her, even with Kawakami Chiyoda's limited intelligence, she could tell that someone was playing a trick on her.

  Now that little devil is in front of her again, and Xue Jun, the two of them are communicating with each other as if nobody else was present, completely ignoring her.

  Senka Kawakami's lower lip was bitten so hard that it had already bled, she couldn't accept that Yukimura hadn't even glanced at her since he came in.

  Senji Kawakami called out in a low voice several times, but there was no response.

  The wicked thought that if I can't get it, nobody else should either. Evil intentions sprout up like weeds in a garden, and no matter how much you pull them out, they just won't disappear.

  "Don't go too far!" Kawakami Chitose shouted in indignation, barely suppressing the anger in her heart.

  However, both Wakaba and Shirabe looked at Sen no Yorizuku with an expression that seemed to say "How did this thing end up here?"

  Such behavior is no different from pouring scalding hot oil on Kawakami Chiyoda's anger.

  What made Kawakami Chiyoda feel the most uncomfortable was Yukimura's gaze, which almost ignored her existence, making herself more embarrassed than being looked at with a cold gaze by Shirai.

  Is it possible that the only thing that can catch Snow's attention is that annoying little brat? Kawakami Chitose's furrowed brow was almost standing on end.

  If he had initially not planned to put too much thought into that woman, after all, he just hoped to use her to see if he could make Bai a little more ruthless.

  However, when Ruo Can saw Bai's situation, he also knew that the original use of this woman had already been lost.

  Let's try another way! Although I'm a little disappointed in my heart, it doesn't matter much.

  After all, isn't Bai's personality like that? If it were too easy to change, then Bai wouldn't be Bai anymore.

  But if keeping white pure would lead to its demise, then, even if reluctantly, white is no longer white.

  Once you're dead, nothing matters anymore, does it?

  So, Bai, I must change you, not just because I want you to live, but also because with a white like that by my side, it would be... very uncomfortable, following someone like me.

  Concerned about Akira's physical condition and Akira, who was immersed in thinking of new solutions, neither of them noticed Kawakami Sen no Tsubasa hanging her head with a look that had lost its sanity.

  That's the look of a madman!

  The only thought that now floated in Kawakami Chiyo's mind was to give that person a "profound" memory, and nothing else mattered anymore.

  Senri Mizuki charged towards Wakaba and Shirabe with great force, the three of them heavily colliding into the wooden wall.

  The simple hut made of thin wooden boards, with the passage of time, this wall can't withstand such intense impact.

  A loud "crack" sound of the wooden board shattering rang out.

  "This is terrible, there's a waterfall outside the wall! She wants me and Bai to die! Although he didn't know what kind of crazy things a lunatic would do, but he never thought that Kawakami Chiyoko would actually think of killing people because of this."

  Why is it so extreme? Is this what the ninja education in the Water Country aims to cultivate?

  This meaningless action is completely beyond Yuru's understanding.

  The idea flashed through his mind.

  The crisis of falling off a cliff makes Ruo Can now have no mind to think about such "superfluous" things.

  "White, grab me." Suddenly, a strange sensation like an intense pressure bearing down on his body arose, and a shaped chakra beast claw materialized, grabbing onto the ankle of Kawarimi no Jiraiya who had been prepared and whipped out a chain to wrap around the pillar, preventing him from falling off the cliff.

  The intense gravitational acceleration caused the originally barely supported pillars to emit a mournful cry, gradually tilting towards the direction of the precipice.

  "Let me go! It's the dry season now, and the huge rocks at the bottom of the riverbed are all exposed. If I fall down, I'll die! Don't drag me down with you, let me go quickly!" Kawakami Chitose completely forgot who was the culprit behind this cliff-falling incident.

  Senka Kawakami kept twisting her lower body, trying to shake off the remaining Chakra Beast's claws. If Senka still had more than half of his usual standard, he wouldn't have minded.

  But with his current physical condition, the completeness of this move is less than 30% of its peak state!

  After struggling for a long time, Kawakami Chiyoda finally found that she could input her own chakra to make the prosthetic hand-like object holding her ankle slowly disappear, and she desperately transmitted all her chakra to her feet.

  But in this confrontation, the pillar that held the lives of the three people together seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

  At the very top, Kawakami Chiyoda can already vaguely see cracks on the pillars.

  Senjou Chiyo gritted her teeth, released one hand, grabbed a handful of shuriken and threw them downwards.

  Against Kawakami Chiyoda's attack, at such a short distance, Wakasa Iori didn't even have time to dodge, nor was there space to do so.

  At this point, all that can be done is to rotate the simulated Chakra and hope to shift these hidden weapons as much as possible.

  Because of the remaining beast claw that grabbed Kawakami Chitose, another one was strongly simulated and stabbed into the rock wall.

  That's why if the remaining chakra is not enough to completely block all the dark weapons, it can only rely on accelerating the flow of outer layer chakra to shift part of the attack.

  Fortunately, the remaining ones can't cause too much harm to Ruo Ci and Bai, at most only some flesh wounds.

  But after that, even Luo Yu and Bai, who were below, could hear the strange "creaking" sound coming from the pillar.

  If it were just Kawakami Chiyoda alone, she might have been able to get away with it a long time ago, which is why she would do something like that.

  After all, for most people, there is nothing more precious than being alive. As long as they can keep themselves alive, everything else can be discarded: dignity, love, family...

  "Adult......" Bai suddenly spoke up, looking at the murderer with a complex expression, then looked at Ruo Can with a complex expression, but didn't say another word.

  Alas, if he had a lingering heart, he would have let out a heavy sigh, and he understood what Bai was thinking.

  In this case, what you are thinking of is still someone else's life?

  If they cast a faint glance, they noticed that the culprit who caused them to fall off the cliff was lowering his head and looking in their direction.

  Panic, fear, terror... after all, he's just a kid, no matter how extreme, still just a kid.

  Forget it, Wu Zhan's head slightly shook, and he loosened his grasp on the physical Chakra beast claw that was originally holding onto the woman.

  The falling speed was indeed beyond expectations, increasing a lot. Fortunately, there were now two beast claws to grab onto the stone wall. Although the degree of Chakra condensation was still too low and couldn't penetrate deeply into the rock wall, at least it had some effect in reducing the speed.

  At this time, Bai's hands were holding onto Ruo Ci tightly, because in such a situation, even if he only let go of one hand, it would be very easy to be separated by the acceleration of gravity and strong winds.

  Of course, with Bai's personality, if he hadn't been so caught up in the moment when he loosened his grip on that beast claw, he would have already said something like this to Bai by now. Otherwise, it might be him tightly grasping Bai's hand instead of being turned around like this.

  "If you're afraid of implicating me and letting go, I promise, I'll die before you do, Bai..." He would protect his tool, it was his, and he wouldn't let anyone or anything destroy it.

  If the remaining power is only used to slow down the impact to save Bai's life, except for the first glance, there is no extra energy to pay attention to the culprit.

  It seems like this way, shouldn't die. If crippled also don't understand one's tone is fortunate or regretful.

  If Wakao and Kawakami Chiyoda's eyes met unintentionally.

  That gaze, didn't even put me in her eyes, hateful, isn't it just relying on Xue Jun liking her! Actually standing so close to Xue Jun!

  Senjuro Kawakami's indignation surged up in his chest, completely forgetting that if he let go of the strange claw-like object grasping him, he might fall off the cliff together.

  A person who has lost his mind does things that are completely unreasonable.

  Unfortunately, even after thinking back on the events of that day, I still couldn't understand why Kawakami Chitose was able to ignore the danger of the pillar that could break at any moment and didn't climb up to a safe place first. Instead, he threw all the hidden weapons and explosive talismans on his body towards my position with great force.

  She never thought that such a large number of explosives and hidden weapons would be so close to him, even he himself would be affected by the blast!

  But that's another story.

  (Tai da yi!) At that time, for Wakasa, it was an explosion impact that completely exceeded his expectations. A mixture of flying shuriken and sharp rocks heavily attacked the two, and Wakasa's chakra shield was also destroyed by the explosion. As a result, when faced with Kawakita Chitosei's second attack, they were like standing in the cold wind.

  Thick smoke carrying deadly hidden weapons enveloped Ruo Can and Bai.

  Piercing smoke and dust, with stinging sand, made me cruelly unable to keep my eyes open.

  But just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Bai let out a low, muffled hum.

  If it weren't for the moment when his white arms relaxed and he reflexively used physical chakra to pull White back, then White might have really...

  As the smoke dispersed, Ruo Can saw that Bai had lost consciousness. On his left eye, a half-exposed dagger was stuck!

  I actually wanted to upload the revised text on the 20th, but first, I've been working overtime until after 11 pm every day this week. Second, my thoughts aren't flowing smoothly, and I've been revising until almost 3 am every night, unfortunately, the progress is still not as expected. The original text was over 1,600 words, and it's now like this... I apologize for my bad habit.

  It's finally today, although it's not very satisfactory, but barely passable. Tomorrow is not working day, but still have things to do at 7am, if there is time later, will try to reply as soon as possible.

  Thank you all for your comments!
