Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 97: Is he dead?

"If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?" Lone Star was so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

"Heh..." Pain sneered, hoisting the man onto his shoulder without a care for Lone Star's comfort.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lone Star remained silent and began to recover his spiritual energy in preparation for his escape.

But as she was being carried on his shoulder, she seemed to see something again, and quickly closed her eyes, thinking to herself, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see! Don't look at what you shouldn't see!"

The sudden silence made Pain feel uneasy. He turned his head suspiciously, "He actually forgot about that!"

Just as her spiritual energy was recovering well, Gu Xing was suddenly thrown to the ground, causing her to lose her balance and spit out a mouthful of blood. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she angrily shouted, "Hey, what exactly do you want!"

"What's wrong with you?!" Pain frowned and asked when he saw her spit out a mouthful of blood.

"None of your business!" Lone Star glared at him angrily, not wanting to pay any attention.

Pain realized that all the anger he had accumulated in his life had gathered on this one day, and it took him a while to regain his composure.

"This guy seems to have been angered by her, so he's making a run for it!" Gu Xing stood up, turned around, and ran. If she could just hold on a little longer, she would have the spiritual power to use her escape technique.

Here we go again!

"Just a little bit short!" Gu Xing's face was full of disappointment, which he made no attempt to hide.

"Don't even think about escaping, you can't get away," Pain said indifferently, picking the person up again.

"Heh... wait until she recovers her spiritual power, then see if I run away!" Gu Xing glared at him unhappily, then closed her eyes and let her hands hang down.

"Something's not right with this woman!" Pain glanced at the person in his arms, feeling that she was holding back some kind of big move.

He simply couldn't believe that someone could just disappear while they were right next to him.

An hour later, Gu Xing suddenly opened his eyes and met those Rinnegan eyes. He said with an annoyed look, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Very good, you've successfully diverted Pain's attention elsewhere.

The next step is to use a teleportation technique to escape.

Just in case, she decided to use both hands behind her back. If one hand reached behind her, it would inevitably touch Pain's body.

Despite her caution, Pain noticed her and turned his gaze towards her.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she glanced away, trying to appear as if to say, "I didn't do anything."

Pain unconsciously tried to clench his fist, but bumped into something he shouldn't have, and quickly released it. "This woman probably didn't notice!"

Lone Star naturally sensed something, but she was currently casting a spell, so she held back, secretly cursing in her heart, "You scoundrel, I never thought Pain was this kind of person."

The more Pain thought about it, the more suspicious he felt about this woman. His gaze fell on Lone Star again, and he immediately noticed the faint light emanating from behind her.

"You're quite something, trying to escape right under my nose." He gripped Gu Xing's neck, his voice icy cold, though a closer listen revealed a hint of anger in his tone.

"What a disaster! It was just a hair's breadth away!" Lone Star was so engrossed in his spellcasting that he had been interrupted that he didn't even notice what Pain was saying.

The forced interruption of her spellcasting caused her internal meridians to rupture, and it will take at least ten days to half a month to recover.

Having your neck grabbed is definitely not a pleasant experience. Despite trying to stop the blood from spitting out, it slowly oozed from the corner of your mouth.

Seeing this, Pain quickly released his grip on her neck and, as she fell, wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from slipping.

"Cough...cough..." With each cough, Lone Star spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Pain to frown deeply. "What on earth is going on?!"

Fortunately, she only coughed twice, and then she fainted.

"do you died?"

Pain immediately shook his head again.

This woman was just thinking about escaping, how could she die so easily?

Finding that she still had a faint breath, I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the Land of Rain as fast as I could.

Uchiha Ye received the message from Lone Star and was speechless for a while.

Lone Star's luck is really bad. He encountered Pain so early, and he'll probably be forced to join the Akatsuki.

Although Hua Ling has to deal with many things every day, her quality of life is top-notch.

"Ye, what are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"It's nothing, I just feel like the journey has been a little too smooth." She turned her head slightly to look at Itachi and replied.

"Oh, that's not like something you would say!" Hongdou exclaimed, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"Just be careful!"

She didn't refute, and her expression became much more serious. There was a sense of calm before the storm. But with Orochimaru-sensei there, if Kumogakure wanted to succeed, the ninja they sent must be extraordinary, unless they hadn't received this information.

Just as they were about to pass through 'Wind Blade Valley', Uchiha Ye stopped and said, "Orochimaru-sensei, let's take a break!"

After she finished speaking, she sat down with her back against a large rock, deliberately showing a hint of fatigue on her face.

"Alright." Orochimaru, having come through war himself, did not object to this cautious approach.

After resting for a while, Uchiha Ye said to the person next to him, "Itachi, Anko, let's create a shadow clone and go scout it out. I can't sense the situation inside 'Wind Blade Valley'."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached their ears clearly, and they saw that Orochimaru didn't show any objection on his face.

Together they used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to travel to 'Windblade Valley'.

Upon arriving at 'Windblade Valley', the three exchanged glances and then went about their separate activities.

After searching, they found nothing unusual at all.

"But why is her sensory ninjutsu not working here?"

Could it be because of the fog?

Uchiha Ye pondered the question, his steps never faltering as he sprinted forward at breakneck speed.

If there's still no ambush at the exit, then she's really overthinking it.

After all, once you leave 'Windblade Valley', there aren't any suitable places to ambush others along the way; at most, you can set up some traps to slow things down.

Not long after Itachi and Anko entered, the shadow clones dissipated.

Returning to its original form, Itachi processed the information and said, "There's something inside the mist."

Uchiha Yoh enveloped his entire body with spiritual power, essentially merging into the natural environment. He only noticed the strangeness of the mist but found nothing amiss.

As she approached the exit of 'Windblade Valley', she stopped and slowly made her way there.

"Such a grand scheme!" She roughly calculated that there were at least thirty ninjas lying in ambush.

Uchiha Ye also noticed that there were many huge rocks above both sides of the intersection, with many explosive tags pasted on them.

Fortunately, she didn't see any familiar faces, which comforted her a lot, suggesting that the information hadn't been leaked.

However, choosing this ambush location was likely based on the goal of a swift victory, so the ninjas sent must be either offensive or assassin-oriented. But all of this was just her guess; she still needed to test the waters to find out.

"If there are no experts, she should be able to handle it by herself."
