Valley of the End, beneath the waterfall.

Naruto lost consciousness and fell into the water, and Sasuke immediately dived in and dragged him ashore......

"Naruto......" Sasuke looked at Naruto who was unconscious.

"hua-" Sasuke's forehead slipped, and "dang-" fell to the ground.

"......" Sasuke.

（！————）

Konoha gate 3 hours ago.

"Oops~ It's worthy of Kakashi, who solved the S-class wanted man so quickly. Kay complimented.

"You've been talking for three hours, can you stop the meeting?" Kakashi.

"Huh? Looks like someone came to pick us up. Kai pointed to Sakura and Li at the gate.

"......" Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei......" Sakura greeted weakly.

"Kakashi-sensei!" and "Kakashi-sensei!" said Li, who was very motivated.

"What's wrong?Sakura-chan?" Kakashi looked sad at Sakura-chan.

Sasuke, he ...... Sakura.

Hearing Sasuke's name, Kakashi and Kai immediately focused.

"......" Sakura.

Seeing that Sakura was silent, Sasuke continued, "Sasuke left the village to find Orochimaru......"

"!?" Kakashi and Kai's eyes widened.

“…… Shikamaru was ordered by Hokage-sama to take Naruto, Dingji, Ino, Ninji, Tianten, Ya, and Shino to chase Sasuke. "Xiao Li.

"Psychics. Kakashi immediately channeled out of Parker.

"Yo. "Parker.

"Immediately track the breath of Sasuke, Shikamaru, Naruto, Dingji, Ino, Ninji, Tenten, Ya, Shino!" Kakashi.

"Wait a minute, it's too much, and all I can remember now is the taste of Sasuke and Naruto. "Parker.

"Then Sasuke and Naruto, please!" Kakashi.

"No problem, let's go. "Parker.

"Kakashi, wait for me. Kai immediately sped up and picked up Parker and put him in Kakashi's arms, carrying Kakashi on his back.

"Huh?"

"What are you doing here?" Kakashi asked anxiously.

"It's faster, get it right, Fifth Dumen Open!" Kai immediately disappeared in front of the Konoha Gate.

“…… Is that okay?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"No problem, Kakashi-sensei won't get motion sickness!"

"That's not what I'm asking......" Sakura.

……

Kakashi and Kai who are out of nowhere.

"Kai, stop, you're running in the wrong direction!" Kakashi shouted.

"What, speed up, no problem!" Kai sped up immediately.

"They're in the north, not in the east!" Kakashi.

（！————）

About half an hour ago.

"Brake ————" Kai made a big brake that slowed down sharply to zero and stopped beside Jiraiya.

"Ah!!h

“…… Save...... Protect...... ......" Kakashi raised his hand tremblingly.

"Oh, it's Kakashi and Kai, why are you here?" said Jiraiya, who was resting under the tree.

"Jiraiya-sama, did you see Sasuke?" said Kai, bowing.

"Didn't see Sasuke, saw Shikamaru them. "Jiraiya.

"That bothers you. "Kay.

"Oh, walk slowly. "Jiraiya.

"Let's go Kakashi, Parker!" Kay picked up Kakashi and Parker and continued on their way.

（！————）

15 minutes ago.

"Brake ————" Kai made another big brake that slowed down sharply to zero, and stopped beside Ding Ji and Ino.

"Ah!!" Kakashi and Parker flew out again due to inertia.

"Ninjutsu, Multiplication Technique!" Ding Ji immediately doubled his right hand and grabbed Kakashi and Pak who flew out.

"Ah, it's dangerous. "Ding Ci.

"Yo, Dingji, Ino, have you seen Sasuke?"

"I didn't see him, but he was put in a bucket and taken away by Otoshinobi's people. "Ino.

"Really, in which direction?"

"It's been a long time since they've been gone, and we don't know where Sasuke is now......" Ding Ji said weakly.

"Over here. Parker smelled it.

"Okay, do you want to come with us? I can carry you on my back. Kay smiled.

"No, no need, and Ding Ci's current condition is very bad, we just wait for rescue slowly. Ino refused.

"See you in the village!" Kai picked up Kakashi and Parker and ran again.

"I hope nothing happens to Kakashi-sensei......" Ino.

（！————）

3 minutes ago.

"Brake ————" Kai made another big brake that slowed down sharply to zero, and stopped beside me Ailuo and Ning Ci.

"Ah!!" Kakashi and Parker flew out again due to inertia.

"......" Iaro reached out and grabbed Kakashi and Parker with sand.

Kakashi-sensei...... Mr. Kai...... How do you ...... Here...... "Ning Ci is very weak.

Kai saw Ningji, covered in blood, lying on the ground, and next to him was Shino, who was already seriously injured and unconscious.

"Hey, Ningci, are you okay?" Kai shouted excitedly.

"He's fine for the time being, and I plug the wound with sand...... "I'm Airo."

"!?" Kai saw that my Airo was also covered in wounds, and his body was stained red with blood.

"Did you beat Ning Ji like this!" Kai wanted to attack me Airo.

"It's noisy......" Jun Maro's physical condition is very bad.

"Hmm, who are you?" Kai saw that the knife-like weapon in Jun Malu's hand was stained with blood, "You beat Ning Ci like this?"

"Ahem, ahem...... Haah......" Jun Mario spat out a mouthful of blood, "Damn...... The effect has passed......"

"No matter who you are!, you beat my beloved disciple like this! Don't even think about leaving alive today!" Kaiqing burst out.

"Mr. Kai...... He's ...... Strong ......," Ning Ci said.

"Haaaa...... Come on, I'm going to kill all of you who stand in the way of Orochimaru-sama!"

"The Sixth Gate is open. Kay was covered in green steam.

"The Dance of the Bones. "Jun Maro.

……

Due to the very poor physical condition of Jun Maro's current body, coupled with the huge load brought by the Dance of the Early Syncope, it directly crushed his body, and before he could attack, he had already closed his eyes forever......

"Hah...... It's finally over...... "I'm Ara, and I'm slumped to the ground.

"Kai, you take care of them, I'll go after Sasuke and Naruto. "Kakashi.

"Well, you have to be careful. "Kay.

（！————）

Three minutes later, Kakashi arrived at the Valley of the End.

"!?" Seeing Naruto lying on the ground, Kakashi immediately rushed over and sniffed, "Great, there's still ...... breathing" Kakashi put a stone down in his heart.

"Sniff, sniff ......" Parker sniffed the forehead guard next to Naruto, "It's Sasuke's." ”

"Can you keep tracking......" Kakashi asked.

"I can't smell where he's coming from, it's supposed to be the waterway he walked......" Parker.

"......" Kakashi saw the scratches of the Konoha logo on his forehead, picked it up, and held it tightly in his hand.

（！————）

I don't know where.

"......" Sasuke stumbled along, his eyes blank, like a walking corpse.

"Did you really get to this point......" A man blocked Sasuke's way.

"......" Sasuke stared intently, "...... It's you ......."

"I still couldn't stop ...... after all," said Natsuyun Mukai.

"......" Sasuke.

"However, for the sake of Itachi, you can't be robbed of Orochimaru's body. "Xia Yun.

“…… You know what!" Sasuke asked angrily.

"I don't really understand, but ...... I know the truth of that incident...... "Xia Yun."

"!?" Sasuke.

"If you want to know, I can tell you right now. "Xia Yun.

“…… The truth ...... "Sasuke couldn't figure out why Itachi did that.

“…… So, what about your choice?"
