In the jungle of the Land of Fire, Asuma is desperately running away.

This place is far away from the city of fire. The full moon in the night sky is like the eyes of a goddess, staring coldly at the earth.

"Gugu~"

The forest is filled with the terrifying sounds of insects, birds, and the roars of wild beasts.

Asuma just saw the huge thunder above the Fire City in the distance.

I have some bad suspicions in my heart.

"No, that guy is so strong, how could something happen to him?" Asma could only comfort herself in this way.

After running with all her strength for so long, Asuma's physical strength was somewhat exhausted.

He looked around cautiously, and after making sure no one was following him, he stopped to rest with confidence.

I saw Asma holding her knees with both hands, panting from exhaustion.

The fine sweat on his forehead formed a stream and flowed down his cheek.

Even though the ninja has an extraordinary physique, running at a high intensity is still too much for Asuma, who is not even a genin now.

"Gugu~"

At this time, a cool breeze mixed with the moisture in the forest blew on Asuma's body, which was particularly penetrating.

Asma turned her head and looked away, feeling uneasy in her heart.

I saw the moon still hanging above my head, emitting a cold light, casting a deserted filter on the late night.

The woods behind him were so dense that the moonlight couldn't shine through at all.

The darkness is like the mouth of an abyss, full of danger.

Asma swallowed her saliva and felt a little cold. She rubbed her arms with her hands and murmured, "No one should be chasing me."

Although he said this, his heart was beating extremely hard.

As if predicting what will happen later.

Asma stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, dragged her exhausted body to find a tree hole, and got in.

The tree hole exudes a rotten smell, and many reptiles cling to the inside of the tree hole, biting the trunk.

The reptiles were crawling all over Asuma's body, making her itchy.

Despite this, in order not to be discovered, Asma did not dare to react too much and could only endure it.

If the person being hunted finds out, the consequences will be many times worse than now.

Today's dream-like experience has left Asma exhausted.

Accompanied by the chirping of birds and insects in the jungle, Asma's eyes slowly closed and she huddled in the tree hole and fell asleep.

It's so itchy~

I don’t know how long it took, but Asuma was still awakened by the crawler in the tree hole.

Unable to bear it, I reached out and scratched my body several times.

Suddenly, Asuma was slightly startled.

You can see through the tree hole that it is still late at night outside.

But he remembered that before he fell asleep, there were chirping insects and birds outside, but now they have disappeared.

If you think about it carefully, this is a deep forest, where many insects, ants, birds and beasts gather, so the lack of cries is really abnormal.

The surroundings were so quiet that Asma could even hear her own heartbeat clearly.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The beating of the heart is like a heavy hammer, which is particularly harsh in this deathly silent environment.

Asma could feel cold sweat breaking out on her back, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

He tried his best to adjust his rapid breathing, trying to calm himself down.

Even comforting myself in my heart, maybe this kind of quietness is just a special natural phenomenon.

Maybe I thought too much, and when I woke up from sleep, everything would be fine.

After the tea time, Asma's mood gradually became much more stable.

Just when he was feeling anxious and wanted to continue sleeping.

Suddenly!

A dark shadow appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Asma felt her heartbeat stop for a moment.

His eyes suddenly widened, and even the reptiles on his body seemed to have stopped moving collectively.

My breathing began to become rapid again, and my lips were so frightened that they lost their color.

After a moment, Asuma saw clearly what it was.

It turns out that the black shadow is just a white dove.

I saw the white dove tilted its head, lowered its head and pecked a few reptiles, then spread its wings and flew away.

"Huhu~"

Asma lowered his head and gasped for air, with a frightened expression on his face.

At the same time, I secretly laughed at myself.

It scares me to death, Asma, why are you so timid? You are just a pigeon.

Under such a surprise, Asma's whole body was wet with sweat and she felt uncomfortable.

No, do pigeons eat bugs?

Asma relaxed, a question mark flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously raised his head.

Asma's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, and her heartbeat stopped instantly.

With the faint moonlight shining through the gaps in the leaves.

Asma vaguely saw a pale face that was almost close to her own, as if she was looking at herself carefully.

The dim environment and the close distance meant that Asuma couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

He only felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his neck, and he was suffocating.

My mouth opened in fear, but no sound came out.

The next moment, the eyes of the human face turned scarlet, and the three-wheel magatama slowly rotated.

"Asma, why are you here?"

A slightly familiar voice sounded, pulling Asma out of his extreme fear.

Asuma finally recovered.

"Asshole, why are you here? Do you know that it's scary to bring your face so suddenly?" Asma lowered his voice and said angrily.

Uchiha Tunan pulled his head out of the tree hole. Although his face was pale, his expression was unusually gentle. He adjusted his glasses and said:

"I came here specifically to see you. I'm really sorry for scaring you."

In such a dangerous situation, Asma finally met an acquaintance, and she felt much more relaxed.

Seeing that Uchiha Tunan was confident, Asuma immediately stretched out his head and said with a serious face:

"You escaped too?"

Uchiha Tunan smiled and said nothing.

Asma looked around and reminded:

"We'd better be careful not to provoke people from the Fire City.

Do you know how Shinnosuke is doing?"

Uchiha Tunan did not answer Asuma's question, but asked with a smile:

"Asma, I want to ask you a question."

"What's the matter?" Asuma's hands kept grabbing the bugs attached to him.

Uchiha Tunan tilted his head and said: "Other than Shinnosuke-senpai, who does Hokage-sama admire the most?"

Asuma frowned, a little dissatisfied with Uchiha Tunan speaking so loudly, what if the enemy was summoned?

He immediately lowered his voice and said: "It goes without saying, it must be Lord Orochimaru.

I heard the old man say that Lord Orochimaru is his most proud disciple."

Uchiha Tunan suddenly understood and nodded, murmuring: "It seems that Hokage-sama cares about the inheritance of the mantle."

Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth sketched:

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts. To express my gratitude, I will personally give you a ride."

"Shua~"

Before Asma could speak, a white light flashed and Asma's head rolled to the ground.

The next moment, a group of pitch-black ferocious birds flew from all directions, some surrounding Asuma's head, and some pouring into the tree hole.

Uchiha Tunan took out his handkerchief, gently wiped the blood on the short chakra blade, and sighed: "It is true that there are three of us, and there must be my master."

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan put the chakra short blade into the scabbard.

Walking towards the City of Fire, the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
