Chapter 41: Ch.41 Extreme Danger
Haku gently nudged Uchiha Shinji, who was lying on the ground. "Uchiha Shinji, wake up!"
Uchiha Shinji woke up groggily. "What happened to me?"
Avoiding Uchiha Shinji's gaze, Haku replied, "Maybe you're just too tired. You passed out a moment ago."
"Is that so..." Uchiha Shinji rubbed his stomach and mumbled, "Maybe I'm just hungry!"
Seeing that Uchiha Shinji wasn't questioning further, Haku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, the two of them went to Ichiraku Ramen and had a satisfying meal.
Back at the apartment.
Uchiha Shinji closed the door behind him, then pressed his ear against the wall to listen to any movements from the neighboring room. After confirming there was nothing unusual, he finally let his guard down and sighed in relief.
Without a doubt, the mysterious person who appeared at the training ground earlier was his Shadow Clone.
He had invited Haku in this way because he had no other choice.
Being a surviving member of the Uchiha clan meant he would inevitably become a target for those in the shinobi world coveting the secrets of the Sharingan. On top of that, his identity as a Lampbearer would make him a prime target for the force invading the shinobi world.
