This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

Chapter 499: Eye Contact Requires Tacit Understanding

Shizune... woke up once again.

She wished the scene before her was just a dream, but sadly, the pitch darkness before her told her again that she was overthinking, little sister.

At that moment, Shizune even doubted if she had become blind.

If not blind, then why couldn't she see anything?

Could it be that she was locked up in a place without daylight?

"Uh... uh..." (Hey! Is there anyone there!?)

After waking up, Shizune felt that time passed extremely slowly, and the environment around her was incredibly terrifying—nothing but darkness.

If it wasn't for the sound coming to her ears, she might start to doubt if she was still alive.

And the torture she imagined, being forced to confess, or even being forced to do some... shameful things, none of it happened!

What's this about?

This should have been something to be grateful for, but it drove Shizune crazy.

She now wished even more for someone to appear then let her know she wasn't blind… rather than continue to lie on the ground immovably, enduring the loneliness.

During this period, she tried to save herself from extreme boredom.

It just made her speechless that all her possessions seemed to have been taken away, and her entire body, from the neck down, was tightly bound.

If someone could see Shizune's appearance at this time, they would surely burst into laughter.

Because it was just too funny, like a worm that only had its head sticking out...

Aside from her head, which could still move, the rest was all wrapped up.

Someone didn't think about using the binding technique from certain adult movies but who lacks the skills for it.

So, they had no choice but to adopt the 'worm binding style' often seen in anime...

Simply put, it means wrapping round and round, tightening without leaving space for movement.

It's the most convenient and crude; one could do it without learning!

And it was very effective; just look at Shizune now, wanting to move... probably could only rely on her chin.

To make matters worse, suddenly, a gurgling sound came.

Shizune only remembered she hadn't eaten anything for a long time. She was so weak from hunger.

Luckily, no one was there to see her embarrassed state. Otherwise, Shizune might have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Hmm, using her chin to crawl into...

"Uhuhuhu... uh, uhu..." (Someone save me! I'm so hungry... my head hurts so much...)

Shizune tried to chew on something in her mouth, although she couldn't chew it, sucking on it seemed to have a salty taste...

Snap!

A flash of light suddenly illuminated the extremely dim inside of the cave, and then a face wearing a mask appeared right in front of Shizune, staring straight at her...

"Uh! Uh!"

With no mental preparation and thinking she was alone here, Shizune was scared to cry nearly!

Her eyes were full of terror!

And because her eyes had gotten used to the darkness, the sudden sight of light caused a bit of issue with her vision, as if she saw something extremely terrifying.

Aoba was helpless. Was he that scary?

Shizune was struggling the entire time. He was there the whole time, just too lazy to make a sound.

It's just four days; endure it, and it will pass.

But Shizune would make a noise now and then, causing some movement, make another noise, struggling...

Upon hearing Shizune's stomach rumbling, he decided to come over and see what this guy was up to.

"If you make another sound, I'll kill you, got it?" Aoba, playing the bad guy, had to say fiercely.

The scarlet swordmaster's mask, illuminated by the lighter fire from the cigarette-smoke cigar, looked even more hideous.

However, after her vision adjusted, Shizune finally recognized that the person in front of her was the bastard who abducted her.

So she nodded immediately, not wanting to provoke him.

She finally got a clear view of her surroundings by taking this opportunity.

It turns out it wasn't a basement but just a sealed-off cave, and there must have been other exits; otherwise, air wouldn't be circulating.

Most importantly, she wasn't blind...

Shizune's eyes twinkled, recalling the many strategies she thought of before falling asleep. The other party suddenly pulled out the thing in her mouth and stuffed something else.

"Uhuh..." 

"It's good enough to have something to eat; don't daydream about being picky."

Shizune was taken aback for a moment, then she tried to take a bite and found out it was a bun!

Even though it was a bit cold, it... It tasted good!

With her mouth full, Shizune started to chew with difficulty.

She didn't suspect anything; she was already a prisoner. The other party wouldn't need to go out of their way to harm her, as she couldn't resist anyway.

But she never expected the other party to give her a bun suddenly.

The other party seemed... not so bad after all.

As Shizune ate the bun, she suddenly looked odd as she remembered she didn't even know who the other person was or what they had done!

All she knew was that this guy sneaked out from a nearly collapsing rundown house and then ran away upon seeing them.

Then, Lady Tsunade didn't hesitate to chase after him...

And then, a conflict started, and the other party knocked her out and took her away.

This...

Shizune immediately showed a wry smile, and this was all a misunderstanding!

The other party might be a good person!

Thinking this, Shizune hurriedly swallowed the bun in her mouth, opened her mouth, wanting to explain, and then asked the other party to let her go.

However, as soon as her mouth opened, another bun was stuffed into it.

"Wuwuwu..."

Now, any words were blocked by the bun.

And looking at the other party, holding a bun and staring intently at her as if ready to pounce, she seemed afraid she would yell out loud.

Shizune wanted to say, "Big brother, please give me a chance to explain. Don't stuff buns first. Listen to me..."

But this time, after she swallowed the second bun, she only managed to say the word 'big' before another bun was stuffed into her mouth.

Shizune was about to cry...

Not only because the other party didn't give her a chance to speak, guarding her as if guarding against a thief, but also because she was about to choke to death!

"Boss, I won't talk anymore. Please stop stuffing buns. Can I have some water instead?"

Shizune tried to convey this message through her eyes, but to someone, it seemed like...

"I want more. Hurry up, okay?"

Seiju immediately snorted, this time not even waiting for Shizune to swallow the bun, directly prying her mouth open and forcefully stuffing a third bun, thin-skinned and richly filled, into it.

And this time, two tear drops finally slid down from the corners of Shizune's eyes.
