Gekko Hayate kept giving Genma meaningful glances.
Namiashi Raido also looked troubled there, while Yamashiro Aoba's expression was less noticeable because he was wearing sunglasses.
"child..."
Genma Shiranui looked at Tenten sitting opposite Kanzuki and felt that he was in a difficult situation. He couldn't possibly involve a little girl in this.
The dumplings that the group had ordered were slowly brought up and placed on the table. The meal looked quite plentiful, but no one touched them.
The night was deep outside, and pedestrians passed by the shops from time to time. The hustle and bustle of the street was clearly audible, which contrasted sharply with the quietness inside the small shops.
Tian Tian finally couldn't eat anymore. She put the unfinished skewer of dumplings back on the plate, took a sip of the drink in the cup, and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief.
"Are you full?" Guan Yue asked.
Tian Tian nodded, but looked at the few remaining skewers on the plate with a troubled expression.
"Brother A-Long, are you really not going to eat?" He looked at Guan Yue.
"I can pack it up and take it with you, that would be great!"
"But if my mom finds out, she'll scold me again..." Tian Tian muttered to herself, deep in thought.
"Put it in your fridge, I'll eat it tomorrow."
Guan Yue felt helpless, but she didn't refuse.
"Boss, check please."
After Guanyue paid, Tiantian took the bag of takeout and walked out of the store first. As Guanyue got up, she glanced at the four figures next to her who were constantly drinking tea. No one had touched the dumplings on the table.
"Are we just going to let this go like this?"
Watching Guan Yue and the others walk out of the shop, Ji Feng asked.
"Otherwise, we can't exactly do it in front of a child, can we?" Namiji Raido said helplessly.
"That's right, we're not bullies," Yamashiro Aoba added.
Genma then picked up a string of dumplings, put one in his mouth and took a bite.
"Let's follow them and see."
On the way back, Tian Tian, having enjoyed the delicious food, walked ahead with a cheerful air, carrying a bag of food in her hand. She would occasionally skip and jump, stepping on manhole covers and kicking up trash on the roadside.
"Brother Along".
She suddenly turned around, her hands behind her back, a broad smile on her face.
"If tomorrow were the end of the world, who would you most like to spend it with?"
Guan Yue was taken aback by what she heard and pulled her scattered thoughts back.
"What?"
"So, if tomorrow were the end of the world, who would you most like to spend the last day with?" Tian Tian repeated.
"What kind of question is that?" Mizuki said calmly.
"How could the end of the world come?"
"Of course it could!" Tian Tian argued confidently. "For example, the moon might fall down, or a big bad guy might suddenly come along and try to destroy the world…"
"I won't let the moon fall. Even if a big bad guy tries to destroy the world, I can defeat him," Mizuki said.
Tian Tian was a little angry and puffed out her cheeks.
"I'm asking you a question, just answer it!" she shouted.
"Then why did you ask that?" Guan Yue asked, somewhat exasperated by the little girl's unreasonable behavior.
"Our teacher asked us this question today, and even made us write down the names of those we want to spend time with on a piece of paper."
This scenario and problem seem somewhat familiar...
Looking at Tian Tian, Guan Yue thought to herself, "These teachers must have all conspired together, asking the same questions."
"So what did you write?"
"What do you care what I wrote? I was clearly asking you something!" Tian Tian grumbled.
"Answer quickly!"
"What should I answer?"
"Answer my question!" Tian Tian said, somewhat exasperated.
Guan Yue merely raised an eyebrow slightly: "Does the answer matter?"
"Damn it, answer me if you want, don't answer me if you don't!" Tian turned her head away angrily and walked away quickly.
But not long after, she turned around and came back, handing the bag in her hand to Guanyue.
"Here, put it in your refrigerator."
Guan Yue's expression turned somewhat strange. Seeing that Tenten was still angry, she suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on Tenten's head.
"If tomorrow were the end of the world."
Tian Tian was suddenly stunned, feeling the temperature on the top of her head, and surprisingly, she didn't slap the hand down.
"On the last day, I hope..."
Tian Tian unconsciously lowered her head, clutching the bag tightly in her hand.
"Live it by yourself."
"..."
A hateful laugh seemed to ring in her ears. Tian Tian looked up and, sure enough, saw a hint of flirtation on Guan Yue's face.
Her expression shifted from astonishment to embarrassment and anger, and finally to blankness.
That damn bastard...
She clenched her fist, feeling that she couldn't beat him and gave up, but she was still furious and raised her foot to kick Guan Yue's knee hard.
Guan Yue simply turned slightly to dodge it, and at the same time took the food bag from Tian Tian's hand.
Tian Tian took a few deep breaths and then turned to leave.
"Hey, the world is going to end tomorrow, and you've left me all alone."
"Whether you live or die is up to you!"
Tian Tian turned her back to him and shouted loudly before gradually walking away.
Guan Yue glanced at the bag in her hand, standing alone in the middle of the street, surrounded by people coming and going.
He composed himself, his home was not far away, but instead of heading there, he turned and went somewhere else.
The night sky was bright with a few stars, and the village on the ground was peaceful and serene.
Far from the bustling city, nearing the edge of Konoha, beyond which lies the forest, a place rarely visited by people on ordinary days.
Guan Yue stopped in the open space, her left hand in her pocket and her right hand holding a bag of food.
After a while, the evening breeze blew again and again.
"Aren't you coming out?" Mizuki suddenly asked.
A moment later, four figures appeared simultaneously, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
"When did you find it?" Genma Shiranui asked calmly, a senbon dangling from his mouth and his hands in his pockets.
"Just now."
"You're kidding me." Genma scoffed. "You deliberately led us this way. You noticed it when we were in the shop, didn't you?"
"You already know, why are you asking?"
"..."
Genma was taken aback, and immediately felt that the young boy in front of him was becoming increasingly detestable.
"Do you want to fight?" Mizuki asked directly.
"You've made it impossible for me to use many of the scenes and lines I had originally planned," Genma said slowly.
"Oh, that must have been quite a task for you," Mizuki said casually.
Genma was somewhat annoyed by Kanzuki's attitude, and he asked in a deep voice, "Don't you want to ask why?"
Mizuki: "You won't fight if I ask you?"
"..."
Genma's eyes darkened: "Are you scared? Don't worry, we won't let you get seriously injured. You can call the police afterwards, but at most we'll be locked up for a few days and apologize to you. For someone like you, the Hokage will definitely not punish us severely."
Guan Yue remained calm, but said, "I won't call the security team."
Xuanjian sneered: "It's too late. You should regret the mistakes you made back then, provoking people you shouldn't have."
At this moment, Guan Yue suddenly sighed.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Whoosh!
Among the four, a dark figure rushed out first, but it was Raikō Namikaze who couldn't bear it any longer and decided to take action directly.
He was unarmed, presumably seeing Guan Yue's state, and charged at her with his bare hands, delivering a powerful punch straight to her chest.
When Guan Yue saw the opponent attacking, his face remained calm, and he easily dodged the heavy punch by turning to the side.
Seeing that his first attack had missed, Namiya Raito quickly followed up with an offensive, using both fists and feet. His physical skills were quite good, and each move was extremely swift.
But all of this had no effect whatsoever. Amidst what appeared to be a very intense offensive, Mizuki strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk, carrying a bag of food in one hand and keeping the other hand in his pocket without taking it out, causing all of Namiya Raido's attacks to miss their mark.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be toying with him, Namizo became increasingly angry and swept his right arm, but the figure in front of him disappeared instantly.
Suddenly, he felt something heavy fall on his shoulder, and when he looked to the side, he found that it was Guan Yue standing on him.
He hurriedly raised his hand to turn to the other person, and Guan Yue lightly leaped down and slowly landed to the side.
"Is this all the strength you have?" Mizuki asked calmly, her tone neither warm nor cold.
A Chunin's strength might be slightly better than some mediocre individuals, but that's about it.
"You guys are about the same," Guan Yue said calmly, glancing at Genma and the others.
The four men's faces darkened; the feeling of being looked down upon made them angry.
"Attack together!" Genma said in a deep voice. Yamashiro Aoba and Hayate took out their respective weapons, kunai and katana.
The four of them assumed a fighting stance, ready to pounce, when Guan Yue spoke up again.
"never mind."
The four were taken aback, wondering what the brat wanted to say next, but what he said next only made them angrier.
"Dumplings spoil easily if they are not put in the refrigerator for too long."
It was the food bag that Guanyue was carrying that contained dumplings from the dumpling shop. All four of them remembered it, and the battle just now hadn't even required him to use his hands.
Whoosh!
Genma suddenly spat out the senbon from his mouth and shot it toward Kanzuki.
The steel needle transformed into a metallic streak in the darkness, piercing directly through Kanzuki's body and embedding itself in a distant tree. Genma was startled, and then saw Kanzuki's body slowly transform into a phantom.
What happened...?
The four were filled with doubt and uncertainty. When they tried to find Guan Yue's location again, they suddenly discovered that their bodies were bound by an invisible force, and they could not move even a finger.
"Golden Binding Immobilization... It's the Golden Binding Technique!" Yamashiro Aoba exclaimed in shock.
"Illusion?!"
"When did he form the hand seal?!" Genma was still in shock. Had they been so easily toyed with like this?
The next second, Mizuki appeared out of thin air in front of him, staring at him coldly.
"What gave you the illusion that I don't know how to form hand seals?"
Before he could react, Guan Yue's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a blazing fire. The intense heat assaulted his senses, and all that remained in Genma's vision was a crimson expanse.
"No...no!"
"ah!!!!"
The screams instantly pierced the silence of the night, shrill and desperate, rising and falling.
Guan Yue glanced at the four people lying on the ground. They were unharmed, but their expressions were blank and their eyes were lifeless.
So weak.
He ignored him and turned to leave.
It's estimated that the security force will be alerted soon.
He didn't want to get involved in these troubles.
