The blade was only a hair's breadth away from Kinoe's neck.
Kinoe could even feel the stinging pain brought by the sharp blade!
He didn't dare to breathe hard, for fear of accidentally cutting his throat...
At the moment when the underground laboratory collapsed.
But that Anbu girl was buried by the boulder, and Kakashi-senpai, who went to help, was blocked outside.
At that moment.
Kinoe suddenly found that Kakashi-senpai had changed.
His moves became less calm, but more fierce, attacking without regard for the consequences. In just a few moves, he was completely defeated!
It wasn't until the blade was almost touching his neck.
Kinoe realized...
He had misunderstood Kakashi-senpai.
A person who could be so mad because of the death of his comrade.
How could he be like the adults said...
Kill, his own comrades?
But the fact was that it happened.
Kakashi-senpai also admitted it himself.
Then what kind of situation was he in at that time...
Kinoe couldn't imagine.
Being in Root, he couldn't understand the bond between comrades.
But now.
In addition to the guilt of misunderstanding Kakashi-senpai.
Kinoe found that he was a little... envious.
How much he wished he had a comrade who would be sad for him.
Just like the girl who mistook him for her younger brother.
"You...go."
Suddenly.
The sword left Kinoe's neck.
Kakashi sheathed his sword, raised his head, but his body was still trembling.
"Your Wood Release is still useful to Konoha. I'm not killing you, just because of that."
"Take care of yourself."
After speaking, Kakashi didn't look at Kinoe on the ground again.
Silently walking towards the road that was blocked by rubble.
Kinoe looked at Kakashi's back, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a long time.
Kinoe finally stood up and bowed deeply in Kakashi's direction.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi-senpai."
Endless guilt turned into an apology in the end.
"Although Senior may not accept it, but this is all I can do..."
He couldn't betray Root.
From the moment he was taken in by the adults, he was destined to be unable to get out of that place.
However.
At this moment!
A behemoth suddenly appeared, but its body was extraordinarily dexterous, opening its bloody mouth and heading straight for Kakashi!
"Senpai!"
Kinoe quickly shouted to remind him.
But it seemed that being immersed in sadness made Kakashi react half a beat slower. When he turned his head to look, the snake's mouth was already close at hand!
"Wood Release! Great Forest Technique!"
At the critical moment.
Kinoe forcibly condensed his remaining chakra. His right arm turned into a vine, the speed was very fast, and finally stopped the snake's head at the last moment.
However.
The giant snake's power was obviously not something Kinoe could contend with in this state.
The giant snake that was hit by Wood Release wasn't injured at all. Instead, it was provoked, turning its head to look at Kinoe.
The target changed.
The giant snake moved its huge body again, extremely fast, heading straight for Kinoe, who was already approaching exhaustion!
Tzzzz——
In an instant.
Kakashi finally reacted.
The little chakra left was condensed again. He held his breath and jumped high, heading straight for the giant snake's vital point!
"Chidori!"
The indestructible Lightning Release directly hit the monster's vital point!
Purple blood splattered, accompanied by bursts of poisonous smoke. Kakashi, who was closest to the giant snake's corpse, was hit.
With a stagger, Kakashi fell to the ground...
"Senpai!"
Kinoe quickly rushed over, holding his breath, carrying Kakashi, running like crazy!
Fortunately.
Although the laboratory collapsed, this mechanism seemed to have been designed to destroy the base. The collapse position didn't affect the exit too much.
Kinoe, carrying Kakashi, rushed and finally narrowly came to the exit.
And when he saw the figure squatting at the exit...
He was almost scared shitless!
At this moment, Qingchuan, holding the sword in his arms, looked at the combination in front of him with a strange expression.
Kakashi, unconscious, lying on Kinoe's back.
Kinoe, with a pale face, an expression of panic and horror, his heartbeat was drumming...
"Um..."
Qingchuan stared at Kinoe for a long time. Finally, his eyes still fell on Kakashi, whose face was gradually turning purple.
"Wood Release boy, can you give me Kakashi-senpai back?"
"He... seems to be dying."
Qingchuan said, nodding his mouth to Kinoe's back.
Kinoe finally reacted!
He quickly put Kakashi down, pointed to himself, and pointed to the hole.
"I... Kakashi-senpai... poison!"
Qingchuan's face became strange again.
This... did I scare the kid stupid?
But although he was puzzled, Qingchuan's movements weren't slow at all.
Healing light lit up.
Spiritual power was poured into Kakashi's body frantically!
The double healing power, coupled with Qingchuan's half-year hard work just to get the title of medical ninja.
The purple on Kakashi's face was visibly dissipating.
Kinoe, watching from the side, was stunned!
He just remembered.
The Anbu girl in front of him, Uchiha Haruko, was originally Orochimaru's disciple.
It seemed reasonable to be able to come out alive...
And, most importantly.
This Uchiha Haruko... seemed to be a medical ninja?
What a magical girl.
No wonder Kakashi-senpai cared about her so much.
It's just that after she heals Kakashi-senpai, she will probably take up the sword against him again?
Kinoe was thinking wildly in his heart.
Not long after.
When Kakashi's injuries and the toxins in his body finally stabilized.
Qingchuan took off his mask, tucked the hair that had been soaked with sweat behind his ears, and turned to look at Kinoe.
"Um... Wood Release boy? If you don't mind, I'll heal you too?"
"It's not."
"Why is your face red?"
