Chapter 43: Hand Over the Little Red Flowers
“Hand over the little red flowers on your face!” All the foreign-village shinobi who had arrived here stared fixedly at Inuzuka Ha’s face.
To them, how were those little red flowers?
They were their lives!
With those, they would no longer have to worry about that monster cutting them down!
The moment they thought of this, almost everyone’s eyes started turning red.
“Hey, hey.
This is looking bad.” Inuzuka Ha turned around warily, his eyes growing serious.
A beast’s instinct told him that these people were extremely dangerous right now!
“Indeed.
We need to be careful.” Hyuga Haruki’s face was also full of seriousness.
Although these people looked extremely miserable… Many of them did not even have a single intact spot left on their bodies.
Judging from their appearances, their minds were all on the verge of collapse.
That made sense.
After all, they had been facing Youyu’s terrifying slashes the entire time.
That was a kind of terror where they did not know when they would die!
Compared to dying instantly, Youyu’s wild slashing was even more torturous!
But for that exact reason, they were also at their most dangerous right now.
They were like beasts on the verge of death who had seen a life-saving straw.
The power that erupted from that kind of wildness would be extremely terrifying!
“Are you sure you want to rob us by force?
We have a way to contact him.” Aburame Shiko pushed up his sunglasses and pretended to speak calmly.
The moment he said that, the scene instantly fell silent.
The red light in the foreign-village Genin’s eyes quickly faded.
Replacing it was fear that sank deep into their bones.
“Kisame, what do we do?” Haneda Kaito looked at Kisame and asked while trembling.
Hearing this, Kisame fell silent.
Now, they had to face another gamble.
They had to gamble whether this group of Konoha people could actually contact Youyu.
If they could, then what awaited them was despair!
“Konoha.
Give us some of your little red flowers.
We won’t trouble each other.
How about it?” A Kumogakure Genin said with a face full of fear.
This time, Kumogakure had sent three teams to participate in the Chunin Exam.
One team had been completely wiped out by Youyu.
His own team only had him left.
The other team was luckier and still had two people.
No one who had not experienced it could understand his current fear and despair.
That feeling of having a blade pressed against his neck, not knowing when a terrifying slash would descend… It was even more torturous than simply killing him!
“We just want to survive!” As time passed, no one knew when Youyu would discover them.
Finally, someone’s emotions collapsed, and they cried out while sobbing.
“We can trade scrolls with you!
All our scrolls!” Haneda Kaito’s eyes suddenly widened.
His whole body trembled as he shouted loudly.
“Please, hurry and give them to us!
That monster is coming!” Haneda Kaito roared in despair.
In his sensing range, an incomparably terrifying chakra was rapidly approaching this place.
“W-What do we do?” Inuzuka Ha looked at the foreign-village ninja who were crying, with some even kneeling toward them, and asked.
“Give them some.
Taking their scrolls is good too.” Aburame Shiko pushed up his sunglasses, his mind spinning quickly.
The fact that these people could all learn their location at the same time meant there was only one possibility.
Konoha did not want all of these people to die at Youyu’s hands.
Aburame Shiko quickly explained this to the Konoha candidates, and everyone immediately understood.
“Put your scrolls on the ground!” Inuzuka Ha raised his little-red-flower-covered face and shouted arrogantly.
It was a sharp contrast from how disgusted he had been with the little red flowers at the start of the exam.
“T-Thank you!” The foreign-village ninja were close to crying.
They hurriedly rummaged for their scrolls and threw all of them onto the ground, then looked at Konoha’s people with incomparable expectation.
At this point, the result of the Chunin Exam had long since been thrown to the back of their minds.
Right now, the only thing they wanted was to live!
“Here!” Inuzuka Ha took out a sheet of little red flowers.
Under the foreign-village ninja’s red-eyed stares, he threw it straight over.
“Grab them!” “That’s mine!” “Damn it, give me one!” … The foreign-village ninja instantly fell into chaos and began fighting over the little red flowers.
Even Kisame endured the pain and joined the battle.
“Whoosh!” “So you foreign-village bastards ran all the way here.” Just then, a voice that made the foreign-village ninja feel fear deep in their bones slowly rang out.
Their movements as they fought over the little red flowers froze.
They mechanically turned their heads.
As if they had seen the greatest terror in the world, their eyes widened violently.
Cold sweat dripped continuously, and their whole bodies trembled nonstop.
“Once I cut you all down, this damn exam should finally end.” The corner of Youyu’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile that, in the eyes of the foreign-village ninja, was incomparably “cruel.” “Swish—” A dazzling dark-purple light flashed.
“Rumble!” “No!!!” The foreign-village ninja watched in utter despair as the violent dark-purple slash crushed toward them.
Clearly, they had only been one step away from being saved.
“Summoning Jutsu—Rashomon!” “Boom!!!” …
