"Yes." Shino was in his windbreaker when a female insect crawled onto his raised finger.
Seeing this, Shikamaru stretched out his fingers and caught the female insect. After putting it in his clothes, he looked at Neji.
"Neji, follow Master Shizune to find Hinata."
"yes!"
"Then, take action!"
Instantly, everyone was divided into three groups.
Shizune, Kankuro, and Neji headed to the twelve o'clock direction to look for Hinata.
Shino went to the nine o'clock direction alone to pick up Yang Shu and Xiao Li.
Shikamaru, Kiba, Gaara, and Temari headed to the four o'clock direction to chase Sasuke and Naruto.
They turned into black shadows and quickly shuttled through the forest.
...
The Valley of the End.
Naruto stood on top of the huge stone statue of Senju Hashirama, looking at the back of Sasuke standing on top of Uchiha Madara with a complicated expression.
Puzzled, painful, determined...
Many emotions converged into a cry - "Sass!!!"
Even if the waterfall in the middle makes a huge sound, it can't stop the cry.
Sasuke stopped.
After a second of silence, he moved on.
"Are you running away from me!" Naruto shouted.
Sasuke stopped and turned around.
On that calm face, the right side of his face was half covered by a curse mark, and his eyes had black whites and yellow eyeballs.
Like an alien monster.
He said very relaxedly and calmly.
"Yo, super idiot."
"Is it your turn this time?"
"I told Sakura to leave me alone."
Sasuke looked at Naruto's convulsing expression of pain and chuckled, "What's your expression like?"
He seemed to have abandoned everything before.
Classification classrooms, survival drills, catching cats, chasing dogs, harvesting crops, the Land of Waves, the Chunin Examination, the Land of Tea...
Scenes were filled with precious memories in Naruto's mind, but Sasuke threw them away like garbage.
This...this is not Sasgei at all!
"Why...why, Sasi...why did you become like this!!"
"Does what I become have anything to do with you?" Sasuke said disdainfully, "I have my own path. No matter who it is, there is no reason to accuse me."
"To put it bluntly, my days of fooling around with you guys in Konoha are over."
Sasuke's words were like a sharp sword, constantly piercing Naruto's heart.
Everyone carried out this mission because of him.
Whether it was those who were defeated by Haruki-san, Shikamaru and the others who were left behind to save him, or even Hinata who was seriously injured by his sneak attack...
And he calls everything nonsense?
Naruto was shaking with rage.
"Everyone... everyone is trying their best to catch up with you..."
"That's really hard work." Sasuke calmly turned and left.
After taking a few steps, he saw a growing shadow on the ground.
Turning around and looking up, it was Naruto.
"What do you think our Konoha companions are!"
Sasuke was extremely calm, as if watching a child misbehaving, and allowed Naruto to press him to the ground.
She looked at Naruto calmly and watched him punch down in anger.
Bang.
My cheeks hurt a little, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but bleed.
tUi.
A mouthful of blood and saliva spat onto Naruto's face.
Naruto gritted his teeth and gripped Sasuke's collar.
Sasuke didn't resist, just calm and dismissive.
"Companions? Can I become stronger with your so-called companions?"
Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"I want to go to Orochimaru." Sasuke said.
Naruto roared: "Orochimaru is the person who killed the Third Hokage and destroyed Konoha! Such a person, do you think he will give you power for nothing! He just wants your body as a container! He may not be able to come back at all! You might be killed! How could I just watch you go!"
"These things don't matter at all. As long as I can achieve my goal, it's enough. If you come to hinder me, there is nothing else I can do." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's collar, with a murderous intent on his lips.
Naruto sensed what his method was and made up his mind.
"I will never let you do this. I will take you back even with brute force!"
Sasuke smiled.
"What are you laughing at!" Naruto said.
"You laughed at that time too."
"At that time?"
Naruto recalled the time on the roof of the hospital. He was trembling with joy and said, "Because I think I can finally defeat you here!"
This doesn't matter, what matters is what's behind.
Sasuke was unwilling to wear Konoha's forehead protector at all, saying that Naruto couldn't hurt his forehead at all.
But from Naruto's point of view, wearing a forehead protector is a fight between equals, a discussion.
But in Sasuke's opinion...
"At that time, you really wanted to have a showdown with me, right? You were so excited that you were shaking, right?" Sasuke said with a smile.
"Only in the beginning! But you are different!" Naruto sensed the distant ideas of both parties.
He was in agony.
"That kind of... that kind of battle... is not the battle I want at all! Even now, I still..."
"I don't care what you think." Sasuke started to tighten his grip on Naruto's collar.
Suddenly, Naruto felt an irresistible force.
Catch him bit by bit.
Sasuke, who was pressed to the ground, stood up easily, grabbed Naruto's collar with his right hand, and lifted him into the air.
No matter how much Naruto struggled, he couldn't break free.
The next moment, Sasuke showed a smile.
The right hand is released.
Then, he made a fist with his right hand and was defeated.
Bang!
The fist fell into Naruto's abdomen, as if it was going to flatten his stomach.
Naruto couldn't help but vomit blood, flew out upside down, and fell upstream of the waterfall, causing a violent splash of water.
This scene fell in Sasuke's eyes. He looked at his right hand, feeling the existence of this powerful power, and his smile became even wider.
The next second, the curse seal broke out, causing him to feel pain.
But the pain didn't torture him like before.
The curse mark on the left side of his face shrank back like a snake.
Sasuke chuckled with excitement.
"Is this the power that guy said? And the power is slowly integrating into the body."
"That's it now. How powerful can it be if the curse seal is released!"
"Yangshu, Itachi, I will come to you soon!"
...
forest.
Two figures flashed quickly.
Sudden.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Yang Shu! What's wrong with you! Have you not fully recovered yet?" the green figure asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, maybe someone wants to fight me."
"who?"
"I suspect it's Hokage-sama. She looks like she wants to beat me before setting off."
Xiao Li: "..."
"Who!" Uchiha Yang said on the thick branch.
Xiao Li stood on another thick branch, alert.
Soon, a figure in a windbreaker appeared.
"Shino?"
"Did Shikamaru ask you to pick me up?" Uchiha Haruki asked.
"Yes."
"Well, how's it going now?"
"Hinata is alone, Sasuke is running away, and Naruto is chasing Sasuke." Shino said.
"Hinata is alone?" Uchiha Yangshu thought of something, and his eyes became a little fierce.
