Chapter 676: Hero to the Rescue!
Chapter 676: Hero to the Rescue!
"Oh no!"
As the spider silk before her drew closer, Tian Tian's pupils flashed with a hint of fear.
Who wouldn't be afraid of death? She was a ninja, but not a robot, so how could she not fear death?
'I wonder if my parents will be sad!'
This thought flashed through her mind in her final moments.
As for Neji?
Although she had some affection for him, she knew one thing from the moment he defected and saw Sakura's state—she wasn't love-struck.
She wasn't a love fool yet.
At the very least, Neji's status in her heart couldn't compare to her family.
Suddenly, a figure blocked Tian Tian's path.
Pfft!
Thin spider silk pierced the person's back, causing a gush of blood to spurt out.
A few drops of scorching blood even splattered onto Tian Tian's face, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"Are you okay?"
The gentle voice brought her back to her senses.
Looking at his handsome and delicate face, as well as the refreshing and natural aura he exuded, Tian Tian blushed.
"I...I'm fine!"
She replied instinctively.
However, she felt her heart racing, and an inexplicable feeling welled up within her.
Fortunately, she wasn't a time traveler, or she would have understood this as the 'Bridge Effect'. After facing a life-threatening crisis, how could her heart not race?
Add to that, her savior was a stunningly handsome and refreshing young man, so it was only natural to be moved.
This was the true 'hero to the rescue'.
If Jinji or Kuang Zhuang Ya had saved someone, the response would be, 'A great kindness and virtue that cannot be repaid, I can only repay it in my next life by serving you as a cow or a horse.'
But if someone like Tong Ping or Er Zhu Zi, of their caliber, saved a person, the natural response would be, 'A great kindness and virtue that cannot be repaid, I can only repay it with my body.'
The best example is Er Zhu Zi from the original storyline.
During the Chunin Exam, he helped Kaen once, and as a result, he gained a devoted female admirer.
In this life, due to the absence of this event, Kaen not only doesn't admire Er Zhu Zi, but even looks down on him to some extent.
This shows how exaggerated the difference is when there is a 'hero to the rescue' moment.
Tong Ping was now also a classic example of this.
With his good looks, even a little girl like Tian Tian couldn't help but fall for him.
It was all a scheme!
Using this scheme, Tong Ping instantly won the heart of the young girl.
As for why Gyuma just sat there, unmoving, watching him pose and show off, there was, of course, another reason.
Eyes!
At this moment, a red glow flashed in his eyes, and he stood there as if stunned by Tong Ping's 'royal aura'.
The actual reason, of course, was Izumi, standing in a hidden corner not far away to the side, her two pupils forming a four-cornered windmill shape.
When the disciple has a task, the master must assist.
If her master was showing off and flirting, as his disciple, Izumi naturally had to help, so she had just arrived and lent a hand.
However, Izumi's face wasn't looking good either.
After all, she was the one who had been saved before, and she had already made up her mind to devote herself entirely to her teacher.
But now...
And it wasn't just Izumi whose expression had turned sour.
The few people standing on the treetops above also had varied expressions.
Kaen was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, her face clearly saying, 'Let go of her and come to me!'
In the original storyline, her obsession with Sasuke was as strong as her current obsession with Tong Ping.
Minako, on the other hand, had a look of anticipation for a good show.
Although she was extremely good-looking, she wasn't love-struck, and now she was focused on her career and improving her strength, so she didn't want to get involved in this internal battle at the Skyguard Tower.
Yamato Kazuhiko's face, hidden behind his mask, remained unmoved, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had witnessed something delightful.
Back in the Ninja Academy, Tong Ping had stated his 'ideal'—to either lie down and do nothing or to 'have a harem'.
So now, he was just staying true to his original intention, and naturally, he wouldn't have any objections, and he even wanted to watch the spectacle.
Yes, Tong Ping wanted a harem, and it was no secret in the Skyguard Tower.
But he just couldn't make it happen, and there was a reason for that.
Uchiha Yaya and Hyuga Tsukiyuki!
These two big shots were terrifying in both ability and strength, and if he wanted a harem, he had to be prepared for a bloody battle.
At the same time, their stalemate was also a way to determine who would be the main and who would be the secondary, so no one wanted to get caught up in this vortex.
As for Hyuga Tsukiyuki's reaction? Her smile remained on her face, but the surrounding air turned a few degrees colder, and the dense killing intent was enough to freeze the air.
Of course, none of them were concerned about Tong Ping's injury, and some even thought his acting was a bit too fake.
After all, the famous 'Purifying Flame' was now facing an injured Jonin-level opponent, and if word got out, no one would believe it.
Only Tian Tian and Ino, inexperienced girls, would believe it.
Below them, on the ground—
"Hey, how long are you two going to keep staring at each other?"
Ino's voice, tinged with annoyance, rang out, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
The two of them had been staring at each other for so long that she felt she had to speak up, or they might start kissing.
The problem was that they were in the middle of a battle, and the enemy could take their lives at any moment.
'Hmph!'
Tong Ping scoffed inwardly, giving up this golden opportunity.
It was only because Ino, with her top-tier looks, had spoken up. If it were anyone else, he would have taught them a lesson.
A strong man cannot be insulted!
How dare someone interrupt his chance at romance without facing consequences?
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!"
Tong Ping's voice softened as he tried to calm down the emotionally agitated Tian Tian, whose eyes had changed. Then, he slowly turned around to face Gyuma.
"You little brat, you're asking for death!"
Gyuma's eyes, now devoid of the red glow, burned with anger.
At that moment, only one thought filled his mind.
He would tear the person in front of him to shreds! So, the curse mark on his body rapidly changed, and his appearance underwent a massive transformation.
Six arms, covered in spider shells and sharp spines, emerged. His hair turned white, and an extra eye and a pair of demonic horns appeared on his forehead, making him look like a monstrous fusion of human and spider.
Aside from that, his aura was overwhelming.
Even Ino and Tian Tian, who had undergone ninja training, felt an instinctive tightness in their hearts.
Women are naturally afraid of spiders and insects, so the two of them unconsciously moved behind Tong Ping.
This was also the 'battle formation' taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy for ninja squads.
It wasn't surprising that they reacted this way, considering they had only graduated a few months ago, and the most brutal battle they had witnessed was the Chunin Exam.
They had never encountered a monster like this before.
Unfortunately, they had forgotten one crucial detail.
Tong Ping was not like them; he was the 'Purifying Flame'!
A white flame appeared at Tong Ping's fingertips.
Yes, he was about to clean house.
Normally, he would end the fight with a Flame Finger.
That's what he did when he saved Shikamaru.
The problem was that this time, he was saving two girls, and they were pretty girls at that. Could he do the same?
While they might not be able to tell how strong he was, they could certainly see how cool he looked.
"Summoning Technique: Rain Spider!"
Gyuma used a summoning technique first.
Bang!
After the white mist dispersed, a spider as large as a house appeared before him.
Hiss!
The Rain Spider leaped onto the spider web above the trees, then opened its abdomen, releasing countless spiderlings the size of footballs that fell to the ground and crawled forward.
"Hahaha!"
"You'll die here!"
"Become spider food!"
...
Gyuma jumped onto a branch behind him and spat out a large amount of 'Sticky Gold,' weaving it into a bow and arrow. Then, he stepped on the bow handle and pulled it open with all six arms, concentrating all his strength on the bow.
Although he was in a state of frenzy, he wasn't underestimating his opponents; he was making a desperate move driven by a sharp sense of crisis.
Cough, cough!
As for why he had gone mad?
It was absolutely not because Izumi had added something extra to give Tong Ping a chance to show off.
Absolutely not!
"Be careful!"
"Should we avoid them for now?"
Ino and Tian Tian, seeing the countless approaching baby spiders and feeling the oppressive aura that made it almost difficult to breathe, instinctively suggested.
Hearing the reminder, Tong Ping's right index finger waved forward in a cool gesture, and he unleashed an S-Rank Fire Style technique.
