Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 289 Deceiving Honglian

Yukimaru was completely bewildered by Yoru's words. If he were a girl, he would indeed look very cute, but unfortunately he was a boy, so any normal man would feel very awkward seeing him.

That's how Yoru is.

He was clearly very cute, but the thought that he was a boy made Ye Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

However, he originally had no interest in Yukimaru. The reason he saved Guren and Yukimaru was because he was interested in Guren, or more accurately, in Guren's Crystal Release technique. Secondly, it was because he knew that Guren and Yukimaru could still be saved.

Despite his formidable strength, Ye Yu would not kill indiscriminately anyone he encountered, as long as he could save them.

Although Honglian was not completely relieved after hearing Ye Yu's words, she figured Ye Yu wasn't that kind of person.

She just didn't understand why Ye Yu saved them.

Then Honglian said, "Who told you to say something so easily misunderstood?"

"But why would someone as strong as you save us?"

Ye Yu teased, "Didn't I just say that I'm not interested in this brat? That doesn't mean I'm not interested in you."

Honglian's heart tightened again, and she looked at Ye Yu warily. "What do you want to do? Don't even think about it!"

Clearly, Honglian had misunderstood again.

Seeing Honglian's attitude, Ye Yu was taken aback and realized that she might have misunderstood again.

Ye Yu was speechless.

"Look what you've been thinking about again. What I mean is, I'm quite interested in your ninjutsu, especially your Crystal Release."

Honglian blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Then explain yourself clearly, why did you speak so vaguely?"

Yoru looked at the large crater in the distance and said, "You're one of Orochimaru's men, aren't you? Orochimaru is no good. You'd better not work for him."

Hearing Yoru's words, Guren was furious. Orochimaru was the most important person in her heart, and Yoru dared to say such a thing about him.

"Crystal Escape: Crystal-Breaking Dragon Subduing Technique"

Honglian unleashed a Crystal Release ninjutsu, conjuring a pink crystal dragon several meters long in front of her.

The Crystal Dragon attacked Night Feather.

Ye Yu stood there, seemingly unaware of what was happening, about to be struck by the Crystal Dragon.

When Honglian saw that the Crystal Dragon was about to attack Yeyu, she immediately withdrew.

Countless crystals shattered into dust in mid-air.

Honglian was speechless. "Why didn't you dodge?"

Although Honglian was very angry, Ye Yu had saved them just now, and she didn't want to hurt him.

She was angry because Yoru had just insulted Orochimaru, and she just wanted to scare him.

Ye Yu said calmly, "Because I know you won't really attack me."

It was a very ordinary sentence, but it stirred up a storm in Honglian's heart.

This kind of trust was something Honglian had never encountered before.

Having served Orochimaru for so long, she had killed countless people and her heart had long been sealed away, but this was the first time she had encountered someone like this.

Of course, Honglian's idea was purely her own; she considered herself a cold-blooded person.

But the truth is, no one wanted to save her.

After all, no one would be so idle as to risk their life to save someone they have no connection with.

This time, I met Ye Yu, who just happened to be someone who had nothing better to do.

Ye Yu's words just now were actually just casual remarks.

After all, he didn't need to dodge at all; Honglian's Crystal Escape wouldn't harm Ye Yu in the slightest.

Honglian trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice, "Why do you think I won't attack you? Why? We've only just met."

"How much do you really know about me? Stop being so presumptuous."

Hearing these words, Yukimaru looked at Guren. He could sense that Guren had a different feeling towards the person in front of her.

Ye Yu looked at Hong Lian and smiled, "I don't know you very well, but I can see that you've just sealed away the kindness in your heart, just like your ninjutsu Crystal Release."

"I'm pretty good at judging people."

Ye Yu made up a story.

However, Ye Yu's words broke through Hong Lian's true thoughts, which she thought were frozen in time.

She kept her head down, not daring to look up at Ye Yu.

He muttered to himself, "How much do you really know about me? What makes you think you can understand me? Lord Orochimaru needs me, how can you say that about him?"

Despite saying this, Honglian didn't dare to raise her head to look at Yeyu.

For a long time, Ye Yu remained silent.

Honglian suddenly felt a little flustered because she thought Ye Yu had left.

For some reason, she was very reluctant to let Ye Yu leave, because Ye Yu was the first person to make her feel the sunshine in her heart.

So Honglian hurriedly raised her head.

But when she looked up, what appeared before her was Ye Yu's face.

He appeared in front of Honglian without her noticing.

“You don’t need to work for Orochimaru. I think you’ve been by Orochimaru’s side for so many years, you know him better than I do.”

“I know he may have given you a lot of value, but is it possible that all the suffering you experienced was designed by him, including something that made you feel that he needed you?”

"Think about it carefully. I know you must have experienced a lot of hardship in your childhood, but with your current strength, you are fully capable of changing it. There is no need for you to stay by Orochimaru's side and do things you don't want to do at all."

When Honglian saw Ye Yu standing in front of her, only a few dozen centimeters away from her face, his clear black and white eyes were filled with a deep magic that attracted people to explore them.

She could even smell the pleasant scent emanating from Ye Yu.

Because she had killed many people over the years, she carried a strong aura of blood, making her extremely hostile in the face of Ye Yu's presence.

However, it could not affect Ye Yu's aura in the slightest.

Honglian blushed.

"What do you know? Lord Orochimaru needs me. Stop talking bad about him."

But her heart was beating very fast.

This was the first time she had felt this way.

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was incredibly handsome, and even a woman like her who didn't care much about appearances couldn't remain calm in his presence.

Compared to the group of mentally ill people around Orochimaru, Yoru was practically a god.

Although Honglian was still verbally resisting Ye Yu, her body did not retreat an inch.

Ye Yu reached out and patted Hong Lian's shoulder, saying earnestly, "You should know very well what kind of person he is. I can guarantee that everything you experienced as a child was meticulously planned by him."

"You're not very bright, but if you think about it more, you'll figure it out."

She was initially shy when Ye Yu patted her shoulder.

But when Ye Yu said that she wasn't very bright, she got really angry.

"You bastard, you're the one who's not quite right in the head."

As he spoke, he punched Ye Yu in the chest.

Ye Yu didn't dodge, because he could tell that the punch didn't have much power.

Honglian's punch was indeed like that; it hit Yeyu's chest but had no power at all, instead sounding like a girl throwing a coquettish punch.

Ye Yu didn't think much of it, while Hong Lian's face turned so red it was almost bleeding.
