Sakura Haruno said this sentence "I know", is it sincere, or is it just a false promise?

Shino doesn't know.

Flat-chested ...... In all fairness, if Shino had encountered this situation himself, he would never have done nothing and watched his teammates being abandoned.

Xiyan also glanced at Sakura a few times, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

As for the cat-faced girl herself, she just buried her head in the road and didn't say a word.

The air suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of three ninjas walking and shuttling through the trees could be heard.

It's just that the cat-faced masked girl in the silent hurry, who looks calm on the surface, has a turbulent undercurrent underneath.

Are you going to face Orochimaru again?

Sakura Haruno remembered the one against Orochimaru in the middle ninja exam.

No, it shouldn't be said that it was against Orochimaru, but the one that was played by Orochimaru.

Before Shippuden, the manga's description of Orochimaru's strength was extremely limited, so she didn't know how high the upper limit of Orochimaru's level opponent was if she hadn't read the later part of the manga.

With the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, she had a fight with Orochimaru, but in retrospect, Sakura was afraid for a while.

As Sakura's strength rises, she also becomes more and more aware that Orochimaru's unfathomable depth. After all, at the beginning of Shippuden, Orochimaru, who had been abolished, was still able to press the four-tailed Naruto to the ground and rub it. Although she doesn't know this "plot", as a ninja who has experienced a lot of battles, she certainly has the most basic quality of a ninja: that is, she can judge how strong the enemy really is.

Even now, against the big snake pill with the combat power intact, I'm afraid she still has to be played. At the time of the middle ninja exam, the reason why she was able to take back a small life was nothing more than because Orochimaru's subordinates showed mercy, after all, Sasuke was in a coma at the time and needed someone to take care of him, and Orochimaru didn't want the food he ordered to be eaten by others before it was served.

So what about this time?

This time, she was no longer Orochimaru's help in capturing Sasuke, but his resistance...... Will Orochimaru still let her go because of his talent?

The answer is probably not optimistic.

There is no need to calculate what the odds are, if Orochimaru makes a full attack, she and Sasuke will not have any chance of winning now. It is true that in some ninjutsu, she has a good advantage, but in terms of the comprehensiveness of ninjutsu, the amount of chakra, combat experience, and all kinds of strange secret techniques of life-saving and sneak attacks, she is completely at a disadvantage.

Even if the Yin Seal has been learned, the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal-Phase 2 has been developed, and Sasuke's synergy, this result will still not change.

However, as Shino had guessed, Sakura Haruno, although she had verbally said that she would avoid Orochimaru, had already made a decision in her heart. Knowing that if she faced Orochimaru, the result would be very bad, but she would still do such a thing.

In other words, when she first formed the seventh class, when she encountered this kind of thing, she would definitely turn around and leave, so that she would not risk her life for Sasuke. But after a year of getting along day and night, she has regarded Sasuke as her brother in her heart.

If she watched her brother die just because the enemy was too strong, then what would she use to implement her life creed? If a person can't even do some of the most basic principles, what is the difference between living and a salted fish?

Sakura suddenly remembered the two lines of dialogue from "The Legend of Wukong" in her previous life. [Note]

This is gone, and there may never be a return?

Then it's gone!

But. The situation is not so bad that it will inevitably go away, and they still have reinforcements from Konoha......

Although the odds against Orochimaru are not good, if you just want to delay time and wait for support, it is not impossible!

Sakura mentally devised delaying tactics as she moved forward.

The three members of the 14th detachment were very fast, and in the morning, they rushed to the vicinity of the area where the distress signal had been found.

"Feel Sasuke's chakra!" Sakura's spirit suddenly lifted, however, she was not a perceptual ninja, and at such a distance, she could only vaguely feel Sasuke's chakra nearby, but she didn't know his specific location.

"Yes, there are a lot of unfamiliar chakras around here, and they shouldn't be from the village, because we're the first team of shadows to arrive...... It seems that they should be the ninjas of Otoshinobi. Shino stopped and sensed carefully, he was not so familiar with Sasuke that he could not find his presence from the mixed chakra perception, only that there were many ninjas in the vicinity.

"The good news is that the existence of Orochimaru has not been discovered!" said Yuyan with his eyes closed and a little surprised.

All three of them had seen Orochimaru and were impressed by the cold chakra texture. Sakura and Shino were also moved in their hearts when they heard this, and after carefully perceiving it, they really didn't find Orochimaru's chakra!

Are you still on your way, or are you hiding yourself?

In any case, the 14th detachment has not yet directly confronted Orochimaru, which is undoubtedly the best news of the day......

The cat-faced girl suddenly felt a great sigh of relief.

As long as it's not against the big snake pill, she will endure those crooked melons and cracked dates with her voice, and she doesn't pay attention to it at all!

But Shino still didn't let up.

"Orochimaru is indeed not here," he said calmly, "but the enemy is already encircling us. ”

That's right, Otoshinobi's reaction speed was fast, and several chakra sources were already rushing towards them.

The cat-faced girl cast her gaze into the air.

Here it comes. She thought silently in her heart.

In the next second, the attack of the sound ninja suddenly launched above their heads!

"Ninja - Spider Bondage!"

A huge spider web came over them—

"Be careful!" Xiyan shouted angrily, drew his knife and rushed forward.

Whoosh - the silver sword flashed, and a crescent moon slashed through the air, slashing the cobwebs together with the sound ninja that suddenly appeared behind it and slashed out in an instant!

"Cut ......" Yuyan snorted coldly, retreated to Shino and Sakura, watched the Otoshino who fell to the ground get up, and was not seriously injured under her knife, and said solemnly, "It seems that the opponent is not as easy to deal with as those middle ninjas before!"

Taking Xiyan's knife as a signal, more than a dozen famous ninjas who rushed over also appeared in front of the 14th detachment and stopped the 14th detachment's advance.

The four people led by the crowd began to have a large number of curse marks on their faces, and a thick and dark chakra turned their bodies into a strange form.

"Curse Seal-State One!"

Seeing the iconic spell mark, Sakura Haruno naturally recognized their identities.

The weird chakra on their bodies already has a special feeling of forbearance, and there is a state two behind them, plus all kinds of unpredictable secret techniques, ordinary ninja will also have a little headache against them......

Coupled with this bunch of sound ninja who are ready to intervene in the battle at any time, once the fight starts, they may be entangled for a long time.

"Captain, let's divide the troops!"

The cat-faced girl said suddenly.

The combat effectiveness of the 14th detachment is half on Shino and Yuyan, and half is on Sakura Haruno. Because the teamwork is not good enough, the two are still less than 1+1 to the extent of 2. Therefore, the division of troops is actually the best choice to fully exert the combat effectiveness of the squad.

The four of them have a few secret techniques, and she probably remembers some "plots" and knows more or less about them. To deal with this kind of unconventional ninja, her skills are more restrained against them, and it is most suitable for her to deal with the four ninjas. On the other hand, if Shino and Yuyan were allowed to stay, it would be a waste of the time and combat power of the 14th team.

In addition to the four people with spell marks, the sound ninjas are basically some very regular ninjas, and after crossing this interception line, they will probably encounter many of those sound ninjas, their ability to attack is not very good, and the skills to save their lives are more slippery than one another, but these people are more suitable for experienced Shino and Yuyan to deal with.

So she continued, hurriedly.

"Captain, Xiyan, now is not the time to pay attention to teamwork, leave it to me to hold them back, you guys rush to support Sasuke first, I will catch up with you soon!"

For the first time, Shino heard Sakura speak to them in such an unquestionable tone.

(Note: I checked it and found that it was not the lines of "The Legend of Wukong" or "The Return of the Great Sage", but the lyrics of an unknown song)
