However, Uchiha In's appearance was too shocking, and that last strike was her full-power blow.
Yet, he casually blocked it with one hand, seemingly without expending much effort.
In an instant, Ameyuri Ringo knew that he was incredibly strong.
He was several Ranks stronger than her.
Realizing this, Ameyuri Ringo wisely withdrew her hand and did not continue to pester him.
Uchiha In also secretly praised Ameyuri Ringo for being sensible.
Holding Karura's hand, Uchiha In arrived at the viewing platform.
Karura, however, was still in a dazed, confused state.
She hadn't expected Uchiha In to respond to her like that.
From that moment on, she felt the sky was so bright, ethereal, and clear, and the surrounding voices were so crisp, pleasant, and melodious.
In short, it was a wonderful feeling she had never experienced before.
Holding Uchiha In's hand, she couldn't bear to let go.
"What's wrong? Have you come to your senses? Are you going to hold my hand for a lifetime?" Uchiha In asked, smiling at Karura.
"If I could, yes," Karura replied with a smile and a nod.
She had already confessed, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about in her response.
Compared to Yekura, the open-hearted Karura, who had walked back from the brink of death, showed no fear, her gaze fixed directly on Uchiha In.
"What's wrong? Am I very handsome?" Uchiha In asked, caressing Karura's cheek.
"Yes, extremely handsome, utterly handsome, I could look at you forever," Karura nodded and replied.
"Then stay, and I'll let you look for a lifetime," Uchiha In said, a beautiful curve appearing on his lips.
Seeing Uchiha In's refreshing smile, Karura's heart pounded.
However, Karura's heart was also caught in a difficult choice.
During this period, the Shinobi Villages were actually in opposition to each other.
Although Konoha and Sunagakure had an alliance of peaceful coexistence, everyone with eyes knew it was merely a piece of paper.
In reality, Konoha and Sunagakure were still in a state of opposition.
The Five Great Nations and the Five Great Shinobi Countries were all in a state of opposition and balance.
If Karura stayed in Konoha, she would be completely betraying Sunagakure, which made Karura very conflicted...
Moreover, she still had her family in Sunagakure, bonds that were difficult to sever.
If she stayed in Konoha, her family would likely be harassed by Sunagakure.
But she really wanted to stay in Konoha, she really wanted to stay by Uchiha In's side.
Seeing Karura's silence, Uchiha In also understood her dilemma.
However, with Yekura's precedent, Uchiha In was already prepared for this.
"Never mind, I was just joking. If love lasts forever, why does it need to be day and night?" Uchiha In said with a smile.
In fact, Karura and Yekura's steadfastness also made Uchiha In very happy.
At least, Karura and Yekura were not ungrateful people.
Moreover, Uchiha In, who had read the original work, also knew that in the Third Great Shinobi War a few years later, Yekura would be directly betrayed by Rasa to Kirigakure, and he could bring Yekura back then.
And Karura... if Rasa really became the Kazekage, Karura would probably be betrayed by Rasa, just like Yekura?
At that time, both of them would lose hope in Sunagakure, and then he could just bring them both over.
However, Uchiha In would never have expected that at this moment, a bold idea flashed through Karura's mind.
"If love lasts forever, why does it need to be day and night? How beautiful." Although she didn't know what the poem was, these two sentences were simple and easy to understand, and Karura immediately grasped their meaning.
Then, she was moved by this sentence.
Why can't we be with Uchiha In?
It's because Sunagakure and Konoha don't have a solid alliance; their relationship will break down sooner or later.
But what if we become the Kazekage? Would we be able to change this situation?
Once this thought appeared in Karura's mind, it lingered and was firmly etched there.
Chapter 296: Why Does It Need to Be Day and Night?
That's right, as long as I or Yekura become the Kazekage, then we can always be so friendly with Konoha.
At that time, wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want?
It must be said that Karura's idea was beautiful.
In fact, the Kazekage, like the Hokage, often cannot single-handedly control the entire Sunagakure's life and death.
The Kazekage, like the Hokage, will inevitably have many Elders and the constraints of the Shinobi Clan's high-ranking officials.
Many times, major decisions cannot be made by the Kage alone, let alone a major matter like being on good terms with Konoha; ultimately, it certainly won't be something the Kazekage can decide alone.
However, the current Karura did not think, or rather, did not know these things. Instead, because of her idea, she developed a slight obsession with the position of Kazekage.
But that would be a matter for after she returned to Sunagakure.
"Tonight, I'll be with Sister Yekura." After saying this to Uchiha In with a flushed face, Karura also returned to Yekura's side.
Although Karura was much bolder now, saying such words still made Karura feel a bit difficult to utter.
Seeing Karura flee like a startled little rabbit, Uchiha In smiled.
"That's enough, come back to your senses. You're lucky today, aren't you? Yekura and Karura, tsk tsk." Sara came to Uchiha In's side and said with a smile.
Karura's escape just now might also have been due to seeing Sara and the others arrive.
For some reason, upon seeing Sara and the others, Karura instinctively felt a bit embarrassed.
Perhaps it was because Sara and the others were also Uchiha In's people?
