"Poof!"

With a heavy thud, I saw Naruto's hands slamming into the seal after Sasuke, and a shadow clone instantly appeared around him.

In the pouring rain, Naruto grabbed each other back and forth one by one, and then shook hard, throwing Naruto towards Sasuke, who was already getting farther and farther away from him!

"Stop, Sasuke!!"

Naruto, who was thrown from the air towards Sasuke, shouted loudly, and a trace of coldness flashed in Sasuke's eyes when he saw him fall sharply.

"Thunder Escape, Thousand Birds!"

I saw his right arm fall suddenly, and a blazing blue thunderbolt suddenly converged on his right palm!

Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up his right arm and instantly turned around and smashed towards Naruto who was rushing down!

In the face of Sasuke's sudden attack, Naruto at this time had no defenses at all, and even the injuries on his body at this time had not fully recovered, so he could only watch all this in a daze!

"Poof!"

With a crisp sound, the next moment, a blood-stained palm mixed with thunder slammed through his ribs!

"Whoa...!"

Naruto's expression was full of disbelief, and in the midst of the heavy rain, he violently spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, grabbed Sasuke's arm in a daze, and said in a trembling voice.

"Sasuke... You.. What are you doing...!?"

Hearing his words, Sasuke's face was cold, and a touch of complexity flashed at the bottom of his eyes, which flashed away, and then said slowly.

"Naruto, you're too much of a hindrance..."

Hearing his words, for a moment, Naruto seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but grab his arm and tremble.

"You.. Do you want to leave the village?"

Hearing this, Sasuke didn't answer, just looked at him indifferently.

The cold rain had already wet the bodies of the two of them, Naruto's face turned pale, and the wound on his flank kept gushing out bright red blood, mixed with the rain, mixed with the ground.

"If you don't want to die... Just let it go..."

Sasuke said in a cold voice, as if he had changed someone, and the voice made Naruto feel strange.

Hearing his words, Naruto raised his arm tremblingly, as if he wanted to grab him by the neck, wanting to question him why.

However, the strength in his body gradually disappeared, and with the loss of blood, he was extremely weak at the moment.

Sasuke watched with indifference as Naruto's arm gradually hung down weakly, and his body fell to the rain-soaked ground.

He turned his body slowly, and just as he was about to take a step, Naruto, who was lying on the rain-covered ground, asked in a trembling voice.

"For. Why... Why did you want to defect from the village!?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke stopped slightly, he gently tilted his head and glanced at Naruto indifferently, and said coldly.

"In search of greater power... Enough power to sustain me for revenge..."

When he said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly.

"Hokage-sama died in this battle, you should feel the pain, Naruto... That copy.. It's heart-wrenching!"

"But... Now you still can't do anything about it, you can't change anything..."

His eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice.

"I'm different from you, I won't let the hatred in my heart stay, I'm going to get that stronger power, to my enemies... Revenge!"

When Sasuke finished saying this, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he slowly took a step forward and walked forward!

"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"...

The sound of footsteps trampling in the rain grew farther and farther away from Naruto, and only the gap in Naruto's vision became smaller and smaller... until I lose consciousness and fall into darkness...

...........

A few days later.

In the Land of Rain, an embarrassed figure passed through the dense forest and climbed the mountain rocks.

Stand on a high cliff and face the cold wind blowing in your face.

He didn't care about the dried blood marks on his body and the wounds cut by thorns, but his eyes were a little complicated to look at the dark village in the distance under the dark clouds, like thunder.

"Have you finally arrived here... Rain Ninja Village... The entrance to the Ethereal Empire.."

The murmur of the figure slowly fell.

I saw that suddenly he jumped off the cliff suddenly, and his body scattered countless thunderbolts in mid-air, falling towards the bottom in a few flashes, and then, turning into a black line in the direction of the distant rain ninja village.

Meanwhile.

In the land of fire, in the village of Konoha.

In the still wooden ward, a figure with a bandage on his abdomen was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were a little gloomy and his head was lowered.

That's when it happened.

"Whew!", "Whew!", "Whea!"...

With a crisp knock on the door, I saw a petite figure slowly walk in.

The figure lying in the ward turned his head slightly to look at her, his expression was slightly stunned, and he snorted a little unnaturally.

"Sakura.."

Hearing his words, Sakura looked at him, her face a little pale, but she was still worried.

"Naruto, how are your injuries now..."

In response, Naruto lowered his head slightly, his face a little gloomy.

"It's nothing, under the healing of Tsunade's mother-in-law, the injury is basically fine..."

Hearing this, Sakura was slightly relieved, and then the two people in the room fell silent.

One of them lowered his head, looking at the white quilt with gloomy eyes, and the other stood quietly, looking at the scenery outside the window with a little stunned.

This silence lasted for a long time, and in the end, it was Sakura who spoke first.

I saw Sakura's white fists clenched slightly, and she looked at Naruto a little unnaturally, as if she didn't want to confirm the next answer, and said in a hesitant trembling voice.

"Wound .. It really hurt Naruto.. Sasuke..."

Hearing this, Naruto's eyes also dimmed slightly, and he didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, after getting the answer from Naruto herself, Sakura was still a little unacceptable, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"How... How so!?"

Sakura covered her mouth and sobbed.

Hearing her sobbing voice, Naruto also glanced at her gloomily, exhaled softly, and said slowly.

"Who knows... Sasuke, that bastard... If I see him next time, I'll have to wake him up!"

Hearing this, Sakura raised her head with teary eyes, her body trembling slightly, and bowed towards Naruto, sobbing.

"Naruto.. Beg.. Please, bring Sasuke back!"

Seeing Sakura's movements, Naruto's face was slightly stunned, his eyes were very complicated, but his voice was very firm.

"Don't worry, Sakura..."

"I must.. Sure to bring Sasuke to you.. It's a manly promise!"
