Qing Shui glanced at his companions present.
Nohara Lin was at a loss. Regardless of whether she had the courage, what could she do?
The same is true for Asuma. He is willing to cover the retreat for Qingshui, but the question is, will his covering the retreat be meaningful and valuable?
Tsunade was also silent. The blood on Qingshui's fingers could crush her fighting spirit...
"Asuma, Lin, Tsunade-sensei, the only candidate can be me, no need to argue..."
Qing Shui even laughed and said slowly: "Today, I will practice the Will of Fire!"
Asuma hurriedly shouted: "Qingshui, this is too dangerous, there must be another way!"
But when Qingshui's gaze swept over, Asuma's voice stopped abruptly.
What solution could he think of?
Stay with Qing Shui? Of course it is possible...
However, when Asuma and Qingshui's clear eyes met, his palms actually trembled slightly, and the saliva in his mouth secreted rapidly, as sticky as glue, sealing his lips and teeth.
I can’t tell…
Asuma roared in his heart: Tell it and stay with Qingshui!
But I just can’t say it!
Asuma's mind was in a mess, hating his own cowardice, and he saw Qingshui had already stood up.
Asuma looked up at Qingshui, staring blankly at his resolute and handsome profile, stunned for a moment.
"No, Qingshui, I want to stay with you!" Asuma stood up suddenly, as if out of control, and yelled at the top of his lungs.
Qing Shui's eyes suddenly became stern, staring at Asuma:
"Asuma, first examine yourself, then stay calm and understand yourself. If you continue like this, you will only put your companions in danger!"
"With your current strength and age, there is no need to rush to do this kind of thing. That moment will always come..."
"Until then, save your life and remember the agreement between you and me!"
Qing Shui's words seemed to have an invisible power that instantly froze Asuma in place:
"If I can't come back, Asuma, then you have to remain dormant and continue to observe, find those ninjas who truly have the will of fire in their hearts, and make yourself and them the people who can be entrusted with and build a new era!"
Asuma's tears burst out, and tears filled his eyes, but he tried his best to keep his eyes open, just to see Qingshui's figure!
[From the laning target Sarutobi Asuma: You gain an unbreakable bond (Asuma)! ]
[Unbreakable Bond (Asuma): Your actions shocked Asuma Sarutobi and established a bond with you that is unique to the Naruto world. When he thinks about you, he will be extremely subjective and biased towards you.]
Qingshui wiped the blood off his fingertips, turned to look at Tsunade, and said with a smile: "Tsunade-sensei, you should drink less alcohol and drink more chicken soup in the future, take care of your body, and if it is convenient, help me look after Shisui, he is still very young."
"By the way, please remember to help Asuma, he is the true inheritor of the will of fire..."
Tsunade stood still, staring at Qingshui, as if she wanted to engrave this scene in her heart!
[I sense that Tsunade has a strong cherishing emotion towards the host, and I bind her as the target! 】
[I sense that Nohara Lin has a strong feeling of cherishing the host, and I bind her as the target! 】
"Okay, I've said what I need to say!"
Qing Shui put away his smile, waved his hand fiercely, and shouted at the members of Tsunade's team in a deep voice: "Don't look back, run!"
Asuma gritted his teeth and stood up. The two women, Nohara Rin and Tsunade, looked at Qingshui's back as he turned away. There seemed to be a void in the hearts of the three of them, but Qingshui's words lingered in their ears, driving them to run away.
Qingshui has already made a great sacrifice. If he hesitates and wastes precious opportunities, he will be guilty of the crime of death!
The forest fire became more and more fierce, and Kakuzu's chakra was gradually approaching Qingshui's position at this moment.
And Senju Tobirama, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this moment: "Qingshui, you..."
"Tobirama, you forgot to add the word 'little devil'. I'm not used to hearing that."
Qing Shui slowly pulled out Muramasa, looked at the looming figure of Kakuzu in the firelight, and interrupted Senju Tobirama with a smile: "Why, was what I said just now wrong?"
"You, the Will of Fire contestant with a score of zero, are going to teach me, who has a perfect score?"
Senju Tobirama was silent for a moment, but then he laughed: "No, you really got full marks today..."
"As a reward, I can lend you my power!"
Chapter 83 Qingshui: Tobirama, I don’t want to use your power!
"No, I don't..."
Qing Shui smiled faintly and rejected Senju Tobirama's proposal. With a hint of firmness in his teasing tone, he said seriously:
"I am covering the rear for the Will of Fire. If I borrow your power, wouldn't that mean that what I just said was just empty talk?"
"Let me experience what it feels like to actually practice the Will of Fire, sacrificing for my companions..."
"Even if there is a risk of death, I will accept it."
Senju Tobirama frowned. He didn't expect Qingshui to reject his power...
Also, why did this child start talking nonsense?
What's the matter of death? It's really unlucky...
"Tobirama, tell me, if I really die, will Tsunade-sensei's hemophobia get better?"
"Asuma's will of fire may burn brightly because of my death, and he will become a good Hokage..."
Qingshui teased himself casually, but Senju Tobirama's brows were already twisted into a frown, and he thought to himself: "Damn Uchiha Izuna, his chakra is affecting Qingshui!"
"Otherwise, Qingshui would never reject my power and would be like an Uchiha and get stuck in this useless dead end..."
"The will of fire is flexible. It seems that I need to find an opportunity to teach Qingshui how to adapt..."
"When the critical moment comes, even if this kid doesn't want my power, I will find a way to force it into him!"
After Kakuzu appeared.
Senju Tobirama remained silent and carefully observed Qingshui's every move during this accident. Only in such a critical moment can a person's true character be better seen.
Until now, Qingshui has made Senju Tobirama extremely satisfied, and the words that Qingshui and Asuma said before their parting made the Second Hokage, who never showed his emotions, smile from ear to ear.
Who does this boy Qingshui look like?
One hundred percent like him!
Look at that calm demeanor, that wise train of thought, those words of instruction to his companions, that iron will of fire!
Isn't this exactly the same as when he covered the retreat of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo?
Even what they said is almost the same!
The youngest son of the monkey family was stunned by what Qingshui said, which reminded Senju Tobirama of the young Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo for the first time in a long time.
There is courage, but also cowardice...
However, we can't ask too much of this young man in such a critical situation...
The only regret is that Qingshui rejected his power, which made Senju Tobirama feel a little uncomfortable.
It's quite strange.
If Qingshui had used him as a trump card from the beginning and asked for his power when he met Kakuzu, then Senju Tobirama would think that Qingshui's intentions were not pure, and that what he said just now might be to use his power to buy people's hearts...
But after meeting Kakuzu, Qingshui never said a word to him. Even when Senju Tobirama took the initiative to lend it to him, he was still firmly rejected.
This made Senju Tobirama wonder in his heart, was it that Qingshui's will of fire was a little too pure, or was it that Uchiha Izuna's chakra began to take effect?
But anyway, when Senju Tobirama finished listening to Qing Shui's speech, even he saw his own shadow in front of him, and made a decision in his heart -
If Qing Shui wants to use his power, as long as it does not endanger Konoha, even if it means doing something a little outrageous, then it is negotiable...
Even if Qingshui was in danger, Senju Tobirama planned to tell him - you have to take this power even if you don't want it!
Kakuzu rushed over and stood not far away, looking at Qingshui who was carrying Muramasa with a calm face, and commented coldly: "Little boy, you are being treated as a pitiful abandoned child."
"You are the son of the Hokage and the apprentice of the Hokage. Although you are a ninja from a powerful family, you can only serve as their human shield to stop me for a moment..."
"But don't worry, I will help you kill them all and won't let you go alone!"
A large number of black lines appeared on Kakuzu's body, and his chakra rapidly gathered: "Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!"
The overwhelming thunder roared and blew up the pine trees!
Qingshui's figure was like a ghost. He accurately avoided the bombardment of thunder, picked up Muramasa and rushed straight towards Kakuzu at an extremely fast speed!
Kakuzu stared at the katana in Qingshui's hand and sneered, "An Uchiha who is good at close combat?"
In his opinion, Qingshui used a typical Uchiha fighting method, using the Sharingan and swordsmanship to fight the enemy in close combat, finding the enemy's slackness in the slightest moment and looking for an opportunity to strike with one strike...
But Kakuzu was not afraid.
Any physical attack is ineffective against him!
I saw that Kakuzu's pair of green eyes did not shy away from Qing Shui's three magatama, and controlled the black lines of the earth's resentment to tumble and capture Qing Shui's figure...
But Qingshui's speed and agility were beyond the reach of these clumsy black lines.
With the help of the instant body-flickering technique, Qingshui's speed became faster and faster. Muramasa raised the sharp blade and slashed at Kakuzu at a tricky angle!
Kakuzu raised his arms, his whole body turned dark, and he caught Muramasa's blade with his bare hands!
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"
The sturdy arm collided with Muramasa, and there was a crisp sound like iron colliding...
"Physical attacks are ineffective against me, kid!"
Kakuzu reached back with his hand, trying to grab Muramasa!
But Qingshui was still much faster. He pulled out the blade in time and instantly reached Kakuzu's back!
But Kakuzu didn't seem to react at all, and didn't turn around to face Qingshui, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth...
He deliberately exposed his back to Qingshui.
His earth escape hardening technique can not only harden his arms, but also cover his entire body...
As long as Qingshui slashes at his back, when the blade fails to penetrate his back and stalls, the masked monster lying in ambush on the side will catch Qingshui!
