Right below the Hokage Tower.
Under the gaze of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Amidst the shock and fear on the faces of the villagers...
The girl, drew her sword.
The smile on the girl's face was still so perfect.
Gentle features, a charming smile.
Scarlet eyes, a terrifying long sword!
You, are blocking my hard-working disciple.
This, was the reason the girl drew her sword.
"Hokage-sama!"
The ANBU operative's eyes were equally full of shock.
Such a lovely girl, yet at this moment, her killing intent was so cold.
But right now, the ANBU operative couldn't care about the shock in his heart.
The villagers being targeted by the girl's long sword, were the most important thing!
This, was the Hokage Tower!
"This is too much! I'll go stop her!"
"No need!"
Just as the ANBU operative was about to move, Hiruzen Sarutobi, directly stopped him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also staring at this scene.
He was equally surprised.
Surprised by the girl's transformation, from the girl who aspired to become a medical ninja, who was extremely unconfident.
To now, being willing to draw her sword for a child...
This... was indeed a good thing.
Even if this girl, still wore the Uchiha clan crest...
"Notify the ANBU on duty, don't act rashly."
"Just evacuate the villagers..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.
The shock in the ANBU operative's eyes was even stronger.
Drawing a sword against the villagers right here at the Hokage Tower, and the Hokage was still issuing such an order?
But an order was an order.
Even if he didn't understand, as an ANBU, he could only execute it.
The villagers were quickly evacuated, their eyes still full of terror, fleeing as if to escape.
And in place.
Naruto had already widened his eyes, his face full of shock!
Qingchuan glanced at the top of the building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's presence was still there, but that gaze had already disappeared…
Was it a tacit agreement?
Qingchuan wasn't quite sure.
But…
He also didn't care.
He was leaving soon anyway, what was there to care about?
What's more…
Maintaining a distance from the Uchiha for so many years, wasn't without its uses.
Admittedly.
Setting the destination Naruto had to run to, at the Hokage Tower, also had a bit of testing Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude in mind.
But seeing the situation now.
Qingchuan, was even clearer about this Hokage's attitude.
After all, he had been in ANBU for three years…
"Can you still stand, Naruto-kun?"
The long sword returned to its sheath, the coldness on Qingchuan's body instantly disappeared.
And this polite address, finally caused Naruto's emotions to collapse…
It was the first time someone had addressed him like this.
It was the first time someone had truly acknowledged him!
Indeed.
He wasn't useless after all.
But why, couldn't anyone acknowledge him?
Why, did they always have to look at him with those eyes…
Tears.
Finally flowed from the eyes of this boy, who was mischievous on the outside, but was no different from ordinary children on the inside...
But soon.
Naruto struggled to stand up.
He had to stand up.
In front of this sister who had acknowledged him, he had already made up his mind.
Absolutely!
He couldn't let Sister Haruko down in any way…
Gritting his teeth, supporting himself against the wall, Naruto staggered to his feet.
And he was also collecting Naruto's negative emotions, replenishing his chakra.
Obviously.
Today's events, plus Naruto's fainting, had allowed the Nine-Tails to find some loopholes again.
"Almost forgot, there's still a big guy in here."
The scarlet in his eyes lit up again.
The three tomoe began to spin, and soon, the three tomoe disappeared, the ultimate darkness spread in the pupil, quickly occupying everything!
A strange mask, along with the black spiritual power, floated up…
With one side being an evil blood color, and the other side being a pure white color, almost as soon as that pupil was completely filled with darkness, it was put on Qingchuan's face!
Mangekyō, Hollowfication, Arrancar Form!
The scene changed…
Qingchuan wearing a Hollow mask, stood before a huge cage, behind that cage, the Nine-Tails with its fangs bared, was roaring at the girl in front of it!
"Behave yourself."
"I can get easily angered in this state..."
"Kurama!"
The voice was still ethereal, even carrying a nihilistic sense of emptiness.
But at the same time, it seemed that there was a demon, who was relying on this mask, and roaring along with Qingchuan!
The situation was so bizarre.
A huge beast, and a petite girl, were crazily roaring at each other across a huge cage.
What was even more bizarre was…
After the girl vented her killing intent.
The Nine-Tails, that behemoth, with its bell-like eyes, actually showed a hint of retreat!
In an instant.
The scene changed again.
The pitch-black pupil returned to its initial scarlet color, and those three tomoe.
That strange mask, also disappeared…
Qingchuan's expression was still the same, but his aura was somewhat unstable.
The power stored in his Mangekyō, intertwined with the zanpakuto's Bankai, wasn't just as simple as a dojutsu anymore…
With his current power.
He could only use it for a short time, not fully control it.
The good thing was, he didn't seem to need to flip through the Uchiha clan's family tree to see if there were any blood relatives or something, in order to give himself an Eternal Mangekyō or something.
He also didn't need to transplant wood release cells to replenish his eye power.
Although the "Sage Eyes" part of these eyes still had room for improvement.
But currently.
The bad thing was also very obvious.
When he put on the mask.
That almost unstoppable killing intent, if he didn't have enough spiritual pressure to suppress it, he would probably become a machine that only knew how to kill, sooner or later.
Looking at Naruto, who was asleep again.
This time, the Nine-Tails was clearly behaving itself.
Qingchuan's smile reappeared.
"Sleep."
"When you wake up, you'll have to start paying your dues…".
