"How could I do that to you? How could I bear to do that to you …"
Pointing the kunai at her heart, Ino looked at Shen one last time and said, "Goodbye, Shen … I really love you!"
Just as Ino was about to stab the kunai into her chest to end her pain, a strong hand suddenly gripped the blade of the kunai, causing it to be unable to move even an inch.
Sensing that her movements were obstructed, Ino abruptly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find that Shen, who had been sleeping soundly, had opened his eyes at some point in time. At that moment, he was frowning and looking at her with a pained expression.
In fact, Shen had been awake for a long time. Or rather, he had never really fallen asleep. As a qualified ninja, it was very important for him to be vigilant at all times. Even the slightest movement in the wind could not escape his senses. The moment Ino woke up, Shen had already noticed her.
Shen only wanted to see why Ino had woken up so early. He did not expect Ino to be mumbling to herself after waking up. She even took out her kunai.
When he heard Ino's confession, Shen's mood had clearly sunk. That was especially true when Ino pointed the kunai at him. Shen felt incomparably furious. At that moment, he even suspected that Ino had approached him with a purpose. Everything she had displayed earlier was a sham. Her purpose was to confuse him, approach him, and kill him.
Even so, Shen remained motionless. Although he did not know if Ino's feelings for him were real or fake, he had indeed been tempted by her before. Even if Ino wanted to kill him, he would not resist. Given his present level of cultivation, ordinary things posed no threat to him. He was waiting for Ino to make her choice.
Shen had made up his mind. He was prepared to take on Ino's kunai as a tribute to the love that had ended right after it began. As long as Ino's attack came down, Shen would not dodge.
This also represented his feelings for Ino. His feelings for Ino would come to an end with this attack. There were always some things in the world that did not go according to one's wishes. Shen was prepared to no longer believe in love.
In the end, Ino, the silly girl, could not do it. Although Shen did not say anything, he could not help but feel gratified. At the very least, he had not been deceived. Ino was still the same Ino.
To Shen's surprise, Ino would actually do something so extreme. Between herself and her village, she chose to kill herself and end all troubles.
Ino's actions came as a shock to Shen. It also caused him to feel heartache. After all, she was the one who suffered the most from being sandwiched between him and the village. It was truly difficult for her to bear all these things and repay the debt for him. At that moment, Shen understood that he could no longer pretend to be asleep.
"Why are you so stupid!" Shen cast a reproachful look at Ino. Exerting some force, he flung Ino's kunai away and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he used one hand to gently pinch her chin to make her look at him. "Is there a need for you to do this?"
"So you're already awake." Ino looked at Shen and revealed a self-deprecating smile. "Originally, I had wanted to finish this once and for all while you were asleep. In the end, I was thinking too much."
Originally, she wanted to finish this matter before Shen woke up. She did not expect that Shen would be awake. Ino's words made Shen, who was about to speak, swallow all the words he was about to say. Indeed, he had already woken up. He was just curious about Ino's actions and wanted to see what kind of choice she would make.
In the end, he did not expect Ino to make such an extreme choice. Fortunately, that was the case. That allowed Shen to see what Ino was thinking.
"Don't hide it. I know what you want to do."
"I still can't hide it from you." Ino's eyes were filled with tears. Her smile was sad and beautiful. She reached out and touched Shen's cheek. Feeling the breath of her beloved so close, Ino's eyes were hazy.
"I didn't want to do this. I really didn't want to do this. But I really had no choice. As a ninja of Konoha, I should kill you for the sake of the village and the peace of the Shinobi World. But I'm useless. I really can't do anything to you.
I'm sorry … "Ino would rather commit suicide than reach out and hurt Shen. She loves Shen so much that she can sacrifice herself for him. But on one side is her village, and on the other side is the person she loves. It can be said that she cares about both sides the most.
Since she can't choose either side, Ino, who is in the middle, can only choose to commit suicide. Only in this way can she find peace.
Shen sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and stroked Ino's cheek, and said softly, "Did Konoha's people tell you to do this? Did they know that you are by my side? "
"No …" Ino shook her head gently, looked at Shen, and said, "No, these are all my own thoughts. Since we are together, we must consider the future carefully. If you are not willing to withdraw from this dispute, I can only make this choice. "
"Humph, are you persuading me to let go?" Celest, who already had the power of the Ten-tailed Beast, had expanded to an unimaginable size. After all, other than Six Paths and Kaguya, no one else in this world could be compared to Celest. At this point in time, she still wanted Celest to let go?
"That's impossible. I've already reached this point. I'm so close to success. How can I give up? Besides, I'm not the only one. The group of people under me are all counting on me. Even if I let go, do you think that group of people under me will agree? Do you think that Konoha's people, the Allied Ninja Army, will agree? "
It's not that Shen is aggressive, but the fact is, even if Shen wants to let go, it's impossible. As a Super S-class ninja who destroyed four major ninja villages and is wanted by five major ninja villages at the same time, they will never rest assured that Shen can live peacefully. They will do everything they can to get rid of Shen.
Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative and beat all the people of the five major ninja villages to the ground first, so that no one can resist.
"Yes." Ino had a weak expression on her face. She knew everything that Shen had said. Otherwise, she would not have stopped mentioning it after Shen had rejected her once. That was why she had chosen to end her own life. However, she did not expect Shen to misunderstand and think that she was threatening him with death.
"Let's not talk about this. It's time for the two of us now. Don't think about those things, okay?" Ino wrapped her arms around Shen's neck and kissed him on the cheek. She was relieved. Since she could not kill Shen, she would let nature take its course. She only needed to enjoy this rare moment. As for how things would develop in the future, time would tell.
"Hmph …"
Originally, Shen had wanted to act cold and arrogant. Unexpectedly, Ino used her mouth to gag him.
After a long while, Ino looked at Shen with hazy eyes and opened her red lips. "Love me …"
"When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, it's better than countless people in the world …"
