Chapter 8 - Trouble 2 (1/2)

As both of them are their ramens under the tree, they didn't notice 5 individuals silently sneaking behind them. Although the other four don't have a weapon, the other one had a Kunai on his right hand. He was behind the other four, ready to throw it. The four immediately ganged up on Hikaru from behind and held both of his arms back and the other two held his waist so that he could not move.

Hikaru, of course, was startled.

”Hey, what is the meaning of this?!” Hikaru yelled.

One of the four replied with disdain, ”Hmph, we are here to kill the demon. Just relax and watch the demon get killed, demon lover.”

Naruto quickly drops his ramen and tried to help Hikaru by trying to get their grips out of Hikaru.

”Oi, lose your grips off of him!” Naruto shouted while pulling their hands off Hikaru.

The other one on the back smirks before throwing the Kunai directly at Naruto's head. Hikaru saw this and knew it would be fatal once it reaches Naruto.

As if the time had slow down, Hikaru back headbutts the third year behind him and the guy releases his grip on his right arm. He used that to punch the other one on his left arm, the punch was so hard that when it hit his face, his fist dug onto it. The boy holding his left arm was blown away by 10 meters.

He was instantly knocked out.

Hikaru quickly tries to catch the kunai, but it was futile because it was already too late. But he had another idea, just before the kunai reaches Naruto's head, he blocks it with his left palm. It then pierced it through behind.

All of this happened in just a single span of a second, a miracle I would say.

”F.u.c.k!” Hikaru held his left hand down where the kunai pierced. Even though he is an undead, he still feels pain. And the excruciating pain of the kunai piercing his left hand is definitely not what he wanted to experience.

”Hikaru, are you okay?!” Naruto quickly kicks off the other two on Hikaru's waist before he kneels down to his side to see his injury.

”I'm fine, this is just a scratch. Just stay here, I'll deal with them, ” Hikaru pulls the kunai out of his hand before throwing at the right leg of the kid he punched before. The third-year didn't wake up and seems to be unconscious.
