Chapter 0488 - Pre-Ceremony Mission
September 15th, Konoha inside and out.
The chakra fluctuations of the sealing array of the four people in Otokuri were still discovered, and a patrol team composed of four shinobi happened to be near them, and after issuing a notice, they rushed to the scene before the four people in Otokuri evacuated.
Faced with the four shinobi and more support forces that might arrive later, the four of them chose to use the power of the seal spell to fight quickly.
Four against four, just in an instant, the winner and loser were separated.
The four shinobi in Konoha didn't expect that the strength of the four people in the sound suddenly skyrocketed, and the speed suddenly changed, and they only avoided the key points when they were caught off guard, but they all hit the move.
The only thing the four Konoha could do was to escape with their injuries and tell their companions the news.
Seeing this, the four of them did not chase, and took the barrel coffin containing Sasuke Uchiha, turned around and fled.
The power of the seal spell is a matter of time, and the ninjas in Konoha can arrive at any time. ......
A moment later, the four Kamininas in Konoha met a group of companions.
"What's going on?"
"Who did it?"
"It's Orochimaru......"
"What? Orochimaru is here?"
"Not ......"
"It's four people......"
"The four people who helped Orochimaru set up the barrier. ”
"Did you see Orochimaru?"
"Nope. ”
"So know what they're doing?"
"I don't know ......"
"We were injured in one fell swoop. ”
"Okay, we got it. ”
"I'll report it. ”
"Wait......"
"Say no more, you go to sleep for a while, and your injuries will be fine. ”
After the four shinobi in Konoha were asked a bunch of questions by their companions, they were knocked unconscious by their companions, and they didn't have time to report the strength of the four people in Otokure, so that their companions mistakenly thought that they were sneak attacked, instead of fighting head-on. ......
On the other side, Sakura Haruno was awakened by the cheers, and when she found that Sasuke Uchiha was not there, she immediately understood that he was gone, and hurriedly went to find Kakashi Hagi. ......
On the other side, before the ceremony of the Goyome Hokage, the square.
After receiving the news, the high-level leaders of Konoha led by Tsunade became nervous, and they really wanted Orochimaru to roar in the square, and Konoha could be disbanded in the future.
Mito Menyan and Koharu thought that the vigilance should be immediately ordered to be heightened and a state of full combat readiness should be brought to an end, while Tsunade and Jiraiya believed that the ceremony should be ended immediately.
When the two sides confronted each other, Nara Shikahisa thought for a while and said, "I suddenly thought of something, some time ago Uchiha Sasuke had contact with four people, I think it might be them. ”
"What? Sasuke Uchiha?"
"Go, get him at once. ”
When Mito Menyan and Koharu heard this, they immediately asked people to go to Sasuke Uchiha.
Jiraiya added, "Also, go find Kakashi Hachiki and Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, they may be with Sasuke Uchiha." ”
A moment later, Kakashi Hachiki and Sakura Haruno were brought over, along with news from Sasuke Uchiha.
Mito Menyan asked, "Sakura Haruno, you said Sasuke Uchiha is gone?"
Sakura Haruno said gloomily: "I have persuaded him." Then he pleaded, "Please, please bring him back." ”
Zhuan Xiaochun said: "It's not good, he must have left with the people in Yin Yin and went to take refuge in Orochimaru." ”
Sakura Haruno was taken aback, "Orochimaru? No, it won't, Sasuke, he won't." ”
Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "It's possible, if Orochimaru decided to change his body because of his serious injuries......"
Tsunade said angrily: "Damn, we can't let him succeed, otherwise with the addition of the Sharingan, Orochimaru will be even more difficult to deal with." Then we were ready to gather our men.
"Wait, what if this is a trap?" Mito said, "using them to divert our men, and Orochimaru himself is attacking here." ”
Zhuan Xiaochun said: "Yes, I have to guard against this hand, the people here can't move." ”
Tsunade complained, "Damn, this is a broken ceremony, it shouldn't be held." ”
Nara Shikaku said, "Everyone, I think we can let someone follow them first, and then send someone to answer them when the ceremony is over." ”
Mito Menyan said: "Where to find people, above the shinobi, the tasks are full, and they are responsible for the safety of the ordinary villagers who retreat here." ”
Nara Shikaku said: "I Aira, the manpower pillar in the sand hide, is here, and you can also try to find the brother and sister of Yamazaki and Midaiko, they are very strong. But the asking price may be something we can't accept. ”
Zhuan Koharu asked, "What?"
Nara Shikahisa said, "I think it will be a diagram of the meridians. ”
"You can't really give it to them, but it doesn't hurt to test it. Mito Menyan said.
Zhuan Xiaochun said: "Okay, then go and inform the people in the sand and the brother and sister, just say that the people in the sound have appeared, and I hope they will go and investigate, and we will arrive later." ”......
What Nara Shikahisa and these people don't know is that through Ranmaru's red eyes, Yamazaki has drawn a general map of the meridian system of him and Midaiko, but it has not been fully confirmed. ......
After Sakura Haruno followed Kakashi Kakashi out of the venue, she couldn't help but ask, "Kakashi-sensei, are they going to kill Sasuke?"
"Why do you think that?"
"In order not to let Orochimaru get Sasuke. ”
"Don't worry, the ceremony will be over soon, they won't be able to escape. ”
"Hmm. ”
Sakura Haruno's tears couldn't stop flowing down because she couldn't help Sasuke Uchiha.
At this time, Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Inuzuka Ya, and Hinata Ninji arrived.
Just as they were chatting together, they learned that the upper echelons were looking for Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki arrived.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong with Sasuke?"
"It's nothing, Sakura, you explain to them, I still have a mission. Kakashi Hachiki finished talking about flashing.
Sakura-chan ......
"Wow......"
Sakura Haruno threw herself into Naruto Uzumaki's arms and cried, and Naruto Uzumaki was completely stunned.
"What the hell is going on, cry again after speaking, okay. Nara Shikamaru said helplessly, muttering in his heart, women are really troublesome.
And as soon as Nara Shikamaru said this, Sakura Haruno left Naruto Uzumaki's arms, and Naruto Uzumaki felt lost. ......
Soon after, amid the choking of Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki and the others learned that Sasuke Uchiha might have gone with Orochimaru's men.
Naruto Uzumaki decided to bring Sasuke Uchiha back, and the other four responded, so they went back to prepare. ......
Five minutes later, at the door.
Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Akido Dingji, Inuzuka Ya, Hinata Ninji, and Haruno Sakura are all in place.
Nara Shikamaru said: "Sakura-chan, I'm sorry, to be honest, your strength is too poor, it's better not to go, so as not to drag us people to take care of you." ”
Naruto Uzumaki said, "Hey, how can you say that? ”
"Shikamaru is right. Hinata Ninji said, "Sakura, you'd better quit." ”
"Ha, I think before we go, let's choose a leader. Inuzuka smiled, "I'll do it." ”
Akido Dingji said: "Shikamaru is already a middle ninja, and he should be the leader." ”
Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "What, what? When did Shikamaru become a shinobi?"
"When you're traveling with Jiraiya. Hinata Ninji said, "I agree with Shikamaru to be the captain this time. ”
"That's three votes," Inuzuka sighed, "Forget it, I'll let Shikamaru be the captain this time." ”
Nara Shikamaru said, "It's troublesome, but for the sake of our safety, I'll make it difficult." Then he said to Sakura Haruno, "Then, the first order, Sakura-chan, you don't go." ”
"Good, good. Sakura Haruno's tears came out again, "But, you must, you must, you must save Sasuke back, I can't do it, I can't stop him......"
Naruto Uzumaki was very heartbroken, Sakura Haruno's heart was completely on Sasuke Uchiha, and he didn't have any chance, but he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Sakura-chan, you really like Sasuke, I promise you, I will definitely bring Sasuke back, because I can understand Sakura-chan's heartache." ”
"Hold, sorry......" Sakura Haruno burst into tears, and said gratefully to Naruto Uzumaki's generosity, "Thank you, thank you, Naruto, thank you." ”
Inuzuka smiled, "Hey, Naruto, you can't do it, we're just going to follow, not to fight." ”
Naruto Uzumaki said, "I'm always straightforward, and that's my ninja." ”
"Alright, don't waste time, let's go. Nara Shikamaru said, "A column formation. ”
"Inuzuka you head and track them with your sense of smell, and you're familiar with the terrain around you, which is good for spotting traps. ”
"I'm in the second, adjusting the formation and assigning tasks at any time. ”
"Naruto Uzumaki third, your multiple shadow clones can support those in front and behind at any time. ”
"Qiu Dao Ding is fourth, you just need to do a good defense, if you start a war, it will depend on you to break through, we are not their opponents, and when the time comes, we will break away in one go. ”
"Hinata Ningji, you are in battle, take control of the overall situation with your white eyes, and be careful of the attacks behind you. ”......
