Unfortunately, it was too late.
Shinku Yuhi herself was not a Ninja particularly strong in Taijutsu, and she couldn't stop Ameyuri Ringo's attack in time.
And Ameyuri Ringo, of course, would not risk self-injury by forcibly retracting her blade, endangering herself with a backlash.
Ameyuri Ringo's strike couldn't be stopped, and it was about to hit Karura, who would then perish.
Boundless fear spread into Karura's heart.
No one can imagine how much courage it takes to personally push oneself before the Shinigami, just as no one can know how much fear there is in personally watching oneself about to die.
Karura was in despair at this moment.
Ameyuri Ringo's strike was too fast; it couldn't be stopped at all.
However, at this moment, a pristine white hand appeared without warning.
It was as if it plunged into water, like crushing a mosquito, easily grasping the Lightning Release Blade Fang in Ameyuri Ringo's hand, which was filled with wild lightning.
The lightning, as if meeting its master, became submissive and dissipated in all directions.
1 centimeter? 10 millimeters? 1 millimeter?
Ameyuri Ringo's momentum was stopped by the sudden appearance of the hand, and after the Lightning Release Blade Fang touched Uchiha In's hand, it seemed to become harmless, and the lightning dissipated.
Uchiha In's body seemed to cross space, appearing directly in the center of the battlefield, and with one hand, he effortlessly blocked Ameyuri Ringo's attack.
Karura saw Uchiha In standing before her, and her eyes slowly recovered from their scattered state.
Not dead?
Looking at the back of the person in front of her, Karura felt a sense of being in another world.
Only when Karura passed before the Shinigami did she realize the preciousness of life and how fortunate she was to be alive.
Uchiha In had no idea how much of an impact his savior-like appearance had on Karura.
"Chunin Exams, second round, sixth match ends. The victor is Ameyuri Ringo," Uchiha In announced.
Then, he turned around and looked at Karura.
"Are you alright, Karura?" Uchiha In said with a smile.
"Wuwu!"
Seeing that it was Uchiha In, Karura revealed her vulnerability and burst into tears while hugging Uchiha In.
Uchiha In was also caught off guard, but then he smiled and patted Karura's back, comforting her: "It's alright, it's alright, don't cry anymore."
Karura suddenly looked up.
Karura held Uchiha In tightly.
Karura's movements were so forceful, as if she wanted to vent all the day's misfortunes.
It wasn't until Karura tasted the blood oozing from Uchiha In that her movements softened.
Uchiha In was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses when Karura's movements became gentle.
Karura felt like she was about to suffocate before she stopped her current actions.
Now, coming to her senses, Karura only felt a rush of shyness, and her face was burning hot.
"Uchiha In, I like you, I like you very, very much," Karura said without hesitation, despite her shyness.
Even though there were countless spectators around, Karura still spoke boldly.
Because she knew that if she didn't say it, she would definitely regret it.
And if she did say it, even if she was rejected, she wouldn't regret it.
Chapter 294: Simply Poisonous
Without considering what she would do if Uchiha In rejected her, Karura's eyes were fixed on Uchiha In, with a look of anticipation on her face.
And Uchiha In also stared intently at Karura, looking at Karura's loli-like face.
Does he really like Karura?
Looking at the expectant look in Karura's eyes, Uchiha In couldn't help but ask himself.
Yes, for Karura, or rather, for Karura and Yekura, Uchiha In's initial feelings were merely possessiveness at work.
That's right, it was the possessiveness towards the beauties in the original Hokage story.
How much did Uchiha In understand Karura and Yekura?
Actually, he didn't understand them much at all; everything at the beginning was just possessiveness at work.
However, after Yekura and Karura's confessions, Uchiha In genuinely grew to like Yekura and Karura here.
At least, Uchiha In could feel their burning hearts and the overflowing love within them.
Sensing Uchiha In's hesitation, a hint of disappointment flashed in Karura's eyes.
Yes, indeed, Uchiha In is a hero of Konoha, so how could he like an ordinary Ninja from the Sunagakure like me?
However, just as Karura lowered her head, preparing to release Uchiha In, Uchiha In took Karura's hand and directly kissed her.
This time, Uchiha In was very domineering, directly answering Karura's words.
And Karura, on the other hand, was full of joy.
Tears continuously flowed from her eyes.
Unlike before, these were tears of joy.
Sweet.
And the people in the stands were all shocked at this moment, even numb with shock.
"My God, what did I see? Could Karura also..."
"Wow, Lord In is too strong, he's simply a role model for our generation!"
"This is going to be interesting now, the two female Geniuses from Sunagakure both seem to have fallen for Lord In!"
"If it were me, I'd be moved too. Lord In saved Karura at the last minute; if he hadn't, Karura would probably have died."
