"Are you guys deliberately isolating me? Yūgao and I are childhood sweethearts. She'll definitely listen to my explanation," Gekko Hayate's face flashed with a hint of madness. He said urgently, "Let me in. Yūgao will definitely forgive me."
"Gekko Hayate, you're enough," Uzuki Yūgao's voice echoed from inside the cave.
Soon, two figures walked out.
"This has nothing to do with me," Kai said helplessly, shrugging. "He's the one shouting, wanting to explain to you. You can deal with it yourself."
Seeing Kai, the instigator, turn and leave, Uzuki Yūgao was stunned at first, her brows furrowed.
"Kai, can you stay for a moment?"
"Stay?" Kai looked at Uzuki Ao with suspicion.
He instantly smelled something fishy.
"Yūgao, what are you keeping him for? Go over to that patch of grass. I'll explain to you alone," Gekko Hayate quickly reached out to grab Uzuki Yūgao.
But before he could touch her, Uzuki Yūgao dodged.
"Gekko Hayate, please don't touch me in front of my boyfriend. Otherwise, I'll cut off our friendship," Uzuki Yūgao suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned and looked at Kai.
Kai was instantly helpless.
He finally understood what it meant to be caught in the crossfire.
"Yūgao, what are you talking about? Who's your boyfriend?" Gekko Hayate was anxious.
"It's Uchiha Kai. My father has already agreed for me to date Kai, so please stop bothering us in the future," Uzuki Yūgao said coldly.
"Him?" Gekko Hayate was stunned. "Impossible. I don't believe you. You're just saying that to make me angry."
"You don't even know Uchiha Kai."
Among the younger generation, they had been constantly instilled with the idea that the Uchiha clan was the root of rebellion.
To avoid suspicion, many people would actively avoid members of the Uchiha clan.
"Gekko Hayate, you're enough," Uzuki Yūgao's face showed a hint of disgust.
The Gekko Hayate she had known was a sensible, talented, and responsible genius in her eyes.
She never expected to encounter this kind of situation on her first trip outside the village.
"No, I don't care. Give me a chance to explain," Gekko Hayate begged urgently.
"Creepy stalker," Kai said helplessly, rolling his eyes. "If she explains, will you stop making a fuss?"
"Yes, as long as Yūgao explains, I'll leave quietly," Gekko Hayate said stubbornly.
"Alright, watch this," Kai put his arm around Uzuki Yūgao's waist and, with a sudden burst of strength, pulled her into his arms.
Without any hesitation, in front of everyone's stunned eyes, he leaned in and kissed her.
It was a light kiss.
But it still caused Uzuki Yūgao's mind to go blank.
"You, what are you doing?" Gekko Hayate was suddenly awakened.
This was the first kiss he had been yearning for for seven or eight years, and he couldn't get it.
Now, Kai had stolen it in the blink of an eye. How could he accept this?
"Isn't this an explanation?" Kai shrugged. "Now, are you convinced?"
"If you have nothing else, I'm going back to rest."
Looking at Kai, who had kissed her and then turned to leave as if nothing had happened, Gekko Hayate's expression twisted.
Without any hesitation, he pulled out a kunai from his waist and stabbed it towards Kai's back.
The close proximity made everyone's faces change dramatically.
They never expected Gekko Hayate to go crazy like this.
However, Kai acted as if he didn't know what was happening.
Pshh!
The kunai instantly pierced Kai's body, instantly creating a cloud of white mist, making the crazed Gekko Hayate stunned for a moment.
"You idiot, I'm behind you," Kai's right hand transformed into a hand blade and slashed towards Gekko Hayate's neck.
Gekko Hayate's expression changed dramatically, but in this situation, he couldn't dodge.
He could only wait for the attack to land.
Whoosh!
A golden flash suddenly appeared.
Before everyone could react, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Kai.
He reached out and grabbed Kai's wrist.
The sudden appearance of this figure made everyone's pupils contract.
The golden hair made Kai smile slightly. "Minato, you've been hiding for so long. I thought you wouldn't come out."
"It's the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze! He actually made it here!"
"Only space-time ninjutsu could have crossed two battlefields in such a short time to get here."
"Cut it out. You should say that only Minato Namikaze's speed could stop Kai's attack. Otherwise, that Gekko Hayate would definitely suffer."
"Humph, that brat needs to learn a lesson. Otherwise, he won't swallow his pride. But forget it for now."
Many people were unhappy with Gekko Hayate's actions of abandoning his comrade on the battlefield.
Especially his reckless behavior just now, which had drawn the hostility of many.
This was a battlefield, not a place for impulsive behavior and romantic entanglements.
"Actually, I didn't want to show up. After I saw you repel the Cloud ninja attack, I thought about returning to the Land of Earth. But if I hadn't intervened just now, that kid would have suffered," Minato said with a wry smile.
"Minato-sama, it was him, it was him who teased me in the forest just now. That caused Yūgao to misunderstand me. You have to get justice for me," Gekko Hayate said urgently.
Kai shook his head with a smile. "Minato, you saw. To make him quiet, he needs to learn a lesson."
"Besides, you can't stop me from teaching someone a lesson."
Bang!
A puff of white mist erupted from Kai's body. In the next moment, he vanished into thin air.
"Is that Shadow Clone Jutsu?" Minato's expression changed.
Without thinking, he turned to look.
At the same time, he flicked his wrist, and the kunai inscribed with the Flying Thunder God seal instantly flew out.
Kai, who had just appeared behind Gekko Hayate, smiled, his figure flickering like a ghost, shifting half an inch.
The Flying Thunder God kunai narrowly missed him, and the attack missed.
"He's going to appear!" Someone exclaimed.
Everyone's nerves tightened, and their eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Without any movement from Minato, he vanished into thin air.
When he reappeared, he was already above the Flying Thunder God kunai.
He reached out and grabbed Kai's shoulder.
"I got you," Minato's face showed a hint of a smile.
He hadn't encountered anyone who dared to challenge his speed in a long time.
Kai's actions had undoubtedly aroused his competitive spirit.
"Is that so?" Kai smiled. "But you're thinking too simply."
His quiet voice suddenly echoed.
In the next moment, arcs of lightning crackled around Kai.
The violent lightning raged, and Kai, who was about to be caught, vanished into thin air.
He reappeared behind Gekko Hayate.
His right hand, transformed into a hand blade, moved faster than lightning and slashed towards the back of Gekko Hayate's neck.
