Chapter 256: Enemies from the Other Direction!
The ninjas of Konoha don't have so many twists and turns, so I am naturally very grateful for my love Roken. Although the two squads are executed together, after all, there is a difference between inside and outside, and it is nothing if one of them retreats first instead of covering each other in case of danger.
It's heartwarming to see allies as companions like this.
"Thank you, I'm Airo!" said Konoha sincerely.
The people of Sha Ren are much more entangled.
At first, he avoided me, but now he has to rely on his strength......
My Airo quickly realized their mentality, and he didn't say anything, nor did he intend to embarrass those people further, and lightly changed the subject: "It's ...... who is fighting with the scorpion Sakura Haruno?"
Of course he remembered her, the girl with a wide forehead.
When he was in Konoha, the most special person he met was Naruto Uzumaki, who shared his illness but was recognized by his companions.
Most of the rest either hated him, hated him, or feared him.
But there are also people who have different eyes than those people.
For example, Xiao Li - that master of physical arts just took him as a challenge, and I Airo is now very guilty of hurting him so badly, such as Sasuke - he sees my Airo as a target that must be defeated, and his eyes are very real.
There is also the girl who is very powerful in Shui Dun and Bing Dun.
Sakura Haruno.
It's the first time I've found out that there are girls other than Sister Temari, and I don't treat him as a monster.
It's because Naruto is also her teammate! She has a very good relationship with Naruto, so she loves Yaya and Wu, and she won't dislike him, a sand ninja.
He still remembered the girl's smile.
Her light green eyes, clear and clean, were like a trickle of water, and when she looked at her calmly, it seemed to be able to extinguish the fire in his heart.
Sakura is indeed a ninja like no other.
It's just that......
The two close encounters with her were not very pleasant. One was when the two faced off in the hospital, standing in front of Xiao Li, she showed her anger and cold killing intent for the first time, and the second time was to escape from Konoha during the middle ninja exam, and the fate of the three people was in her hands, Sakura hesitated, her face was cloudy, and finally let them go.
"Since Naruto believes in you, then I believe in you too. That's what she said.
If the relationship between Airo and Naruto is a natural "brother", a "relative" who is not related by blood, so it is natural for Naruto to be trusted, then this girl is the first person to trust him besides "family......
In the past six months, the change of my Airo Kankuro and Temari has been seen, and the relationship between the three has gradually returned to normal family relationships, but outside, the impression of other companions in Sand Ninja Village is still at the level of ruthlessness.
Deep-seated prejudices are everywhere.
When he realizes how difficult it is to find the approval and bond of his peers, he realizes how rare it is to say "believe in you" from Sakura Haruno's mouth.
Sakura Haruno ......
How is she doing now?
After returning to the Sand Ninja Village, I Airo has been paying attention to the news over there, he knows that Xiao Li has fully recovered, he knows that Naruto and others have left the village to practice, and he knows that many of the people who took the exam that year are now growing up rapidly.
When Sister Temari came back from Konoha a few days ago, in addition to mentioning Shikamaru, she also said about Sakura, "It seems to have grown all of a sudden, and it has become very beautiful...... "He directly skipped the details that only girls cared about, and then she said, "And the strength is very strong, I can feel it when I stand in front of her, maybe it's stronger than you, brother......"
If you are stronger than him, you should hold out for a while against the Red Sand Scorpion, right?
"How long can Sakura Haruno hold on?" asked Aara suddenly in the middle of the journey.
"......I don't know," Hoshino replied, "I can still feel that her chakra is stable, and she may be able to hold out until we come to the rescue, or maybe she will be killed soon......"
"She's not going to be killed so easily," the captain on Konoha's side said suddenly, "She's very strong! Maybe she'll be able to defeat that so-called Red Sand Scorpion!"
Airo turned her head to look at him in surprise.
"The other party is a scorpion of the red sand. He said, with a hint of concern in his tone, "Although I know Sakura is strong......"
Captain Konoha turned his head and glanced at him.
"You don't know yet, do you...... Sakura had confronted the other members of Akatsuki before, and then came back unscathed. ”
"Either way, they're in danger," the captain said, his pace accelerating again beyond his cruising speed, "we have to pick up the speed!"
The Konoha ninjas didn't hesitate to push their speed to the limit, but the sand ninjas looked at each other and hesitated, and finally they all set their eyes on Iara.
"Let's keep up. He said calmly.
The figure instantly accelerated and rushed out, naturally running to the first place of the sand ninjas, and the rest of the sand ninjas followed one after another.
Hold on......!
……
……
Another direction not too far from the battlefield.
The man in the kimono who was walking in front suddenly paused.
"Do you feel it, Dou?" he said, turning back to his companion behind him.
The young man with eyes stopped, closed his eyes and sensed carefully: "Hmm...... There's a fight ahead, Orochimaru-sama. ”
The two of them are none other than Orochimaru and Dou who came out of the base in the middle of nowhere.
"The aftermath can be felt from so far away...... Who are the two sides of the battle, Orochimaru-sama?"
Orochimaru walked up the hill and glanced into the distance.
"It's normal that you can't feel it at such a distance," he said with a wicked smile, "The two people who are fighting are old acquaintances of ours......!"
Dou followed and walked up, standing behind Orochimaru.
"One of them is a scorpion, right?" he pushed his glasses and came up with an answer as a matter of course, "He hates waiting for people the most, and he hates waiting for others, so he will definitely show up there on time for ......"
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth were hooked, and he motioned for him to continue, it was not difficult to guess that one side was a scorpion, but the other was Haruno Sakura, so it was not so easy to figure it out.
"But who the other one is, I don't know. Dou frowned, thought for a while, and analyzed, "At this time, the person who will appear in that position is most likely the ninja of Sand Ninja Village, and they should have found the traces of Scorpion and Xiao...... But after we kill the four generations of Kazekage, they shouldn't have such a strong ninja anymore!"
He glanced at Orochimaru, whose face was so pale that it was almost bloodless with a smirk, indicating that Dou's guess was wrong.
Pondering slightly.
He said again: "If it's not Sha Shinobi, then it can only be Konoha's people." "There are quite a lot of ninjas in Konoha who can be called old acquaintances of Doudou and Orochimaru...... However, there are very few people who can fight like this with scorpions. Kakashi might be able to make a few moves with him, but with his chakra volume, he would never be able to make such a move.
Could it be that Tsunade is here? No...... This is more incredible than Kakashi's sudden explosion in chakra.
So, who is it exactly?
Seeing that Dou still couldn't think of an answer, Orochimaru directly revealed the mystery: "I'll tell you directly, Dou! She is Sakura Haruno." ”
Dou was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible!"
His impression of Sakura was still in the middle of the ninja exam, that short confrontation.
Dou had to admit that Sakura already had a considerable degree of strength at that time, and the weird ninjutsu even gave him a headache, and he was not sure that he would defeat her in a short time.
But to say that she can compete with the scorpion......
"Huh...... Don't forget the time she fought Kimimaro. Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled meaningfully, "She's growing faster than Sasuke!"
Orochimaru was in a somewhat playful mood.
In some ways, Orochimaru and Sakura Haruno...... In fact, they are the same kind of people, all of whom are talented ninjutsu geniuses who pursue the truth.
It's just that since the death of his parents when he was a child, he has been exposed to too much darkness Orochimaru, and the girl who grew up happily and has two generations of Hokage along the way has embarked on a different path of darkness and light.
So when he was in the Forest of Death, he didn't kill Sakura, except for the need to leave someone by Sasuke's side to take care of him, there was another reason.
Looking at her, it's like seeing yourself on a different path.
Unlike Sasuke and Dou, Sasuke is his coveted treasure, and Dou is his right-hand man. Sakura, however, is a fellow traveler who, like him, has embarked on the path of exploration.
After knowing that the person who killed Kimimaro was Sakura Haruno, Orochimaru was sorry and angry at the same time...... There is also an indescribable anticipation in my heart.
"Growing up so fast, you're really the same person as me......"
So, after discovering that Konoha was searching his base and searching for information, he deliberately left a complete set of information.
It's not too late to destroy ...... He knew that Sakura was a disciple of Tsunade, and there must be a way to get access to those materials.
That's actually for her.
"You can't help but study the information in there......" Orochimaru speculated, because if it were him, he would have made the same choice!
In this regard, he does know Haruno Sakura well.
"When the time comes, will you repeat my path and betray the village and your companions?"
He remembered the bright eyes that refused to admit defeat when he took the Zhongnin exam: "Hehehehe...... I'm really looking forward to it, I really can't wait to see your eyes dim and flee like a lost dog, Sakura Haruno!"
However, in this regard, Sakura Haruno and Orochimaru are not the same kind of people. Orochimaru wants to replicate the trajectory of his life to Sakura, and he can only say that he doesn't know much about the other side of her, the easy-going, warm and sunny side......
Pulling his thoughts back from his memories, Orochimaru glanced at his pocket lightly: "Let's go, don't miss the show!"
Dou nodded.
With two smacks, the two disappeared on the road.
