CHAPTER XXXVI
The rain gradually stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe clouds have cleared and the sun is falling again.
Valley of the End.
After all the hard work, I finally came here!
Just halfway through, I sensed that two powerful chakras erupted here, it must be Naruto and Sasuke fighting! Then there was no sound, the drop of water on Sasuke's body should have been destroyed in the battle, I'm afraid the battle is over, I'm still a step slower!
Jumping on the head of the first stone statue in a few jumps in a row, Shiro and I shouted "Naruto" and "Sasuke" while looking down and searching for the figures of the two.
"There!" Shiro said to me, pointing to two figures on the ground!
"Ice Escape Secret Technique・Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!"
Shiro and I appeared at the bottom at the same time, only to see Naruto lying on the ground, not knowing life or death!
"Don't worry, he's still alive, he's just fainted. I didn't hit ...... heavy hand" Sasuke's voice sounded next to him!
I turned my head to see Sasuke standing to the side, looking at us expressionlessly.
“…… Sasuke," I said, looking at him with mixed feelings, "you know I'm going to stop you......"
"I'm just a shadow clone here," Sasuke said lightly, "The deity has long since left, and you can't stop it...... You don't have to try to persuade me in vain, I can't go back now!"
Shadow clone...... I let go of my hand and sighed. Sasuke has made up his mind, and I have no other way, and I can't even track it down.
And, as Sasuke said, from the moment he left the village, he couldn't turn back. When the defected ninja returns to the village, even if they are exempted from imprisonment, they will always be discriminated against and distrusted by the people in the village...... Nothing good will come of it. Tsunade only sent the three of us out, but I'm afraid he can see this clearly! If he really wants to bring Sasuke back, Tsunade can at least send out the shadows that belong directly to the Hokage.
If you want Sasuke to return to Konoha, at least you have to make Sasuke a powerful ninja at the shadow level and not be an enemy of the village, and when Sasuke wants to return, Konoha will not push the shadow-level powerhouse out. As for what happened in the past, as long as it didn't directly harm Konoha's interests or kill the ninja of Konoha, it can all be ignored.
Thinking of this, at this moment, I have nothing to say.
Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, maybe after getting Sasuke's revenge, he will come back!
"Sasuke, if you insist on this...... The next time we meet, we may be enemies! Is it worth it for the sake of power?"
"In order to gain the power to take revenge, it is worth all the costs!" Sasuke said without hesitation, "The next time we meet, I will be stronger than you...... Don't worry, I'll show you mercy!"
"Hmph......" the corners of my mouth moved but still didn't laugh, "You dream! I'm growing up fast! The next time we meet, you still can't beat me!"
"Cut...... Hard-mouthed......" Sasuke said disdainfully.
"Valley of the End...... It is rumored that this is the result of two good friends fighting here against each other, what an irony!You are actually fighting here!" I looked at the potholed battle scene around me and said, "Sasuke, Naruto, he...... It's getting stronger now, right? You used the power of that spell mark! I've fought with those sound ninjas, and after I opened the spell seal, my strength has really increased a lot. Orochimaru can give you this kind of power, no wonder you would choose Orochimaru! However, if I were you, I would not use this power of unknown origin! There is no free lunch in the world, and the power obtained out of thin air may have an unimaginable price! This may be my last piece of advice to you......
Sasuke lowered his eyes and remained silent.
I don't want to persuade anything anymore, this is the path Sasuke himself has chosen, no matter what he will gain or lose, it is his own business, and from this moment on, we and Sasuke will go on different paths......
"Don't talk about it......" I gently picked up Naruto, "Let's go!"
"I hope the next time we meet, you'll still be your ......!" I carried Naruto on my back and prepared to go back to the village.
The step of parting ways is so heavy. Six years of friends, here apart, meeting again may be a soldier!
"Goodbye!" I paused, then finally said. Then turn around and leave, no more hesitation!
"Take care ......!"
Bang - Sasuke's shadow clone dissipates in the air!
"White ...... Let's go!" I said lightly.
Shiro and I hurried back to the village in silence.
Sakura...... The next time we meet, will you really fight Sasuke?" On the way, Shiro suddenly asked.
"Who knows...... Maybe not!" I looked at the sky, feeling a little lost.
Although I don't know the plot behind it, according to the law of hot-blooded manga, there will inevitably be stronger bosses in the future, and maybe there are behind-the-scenes bosses behind "Xiao...... And Sasuke, will he return to Konoha to fight alongside us in the future, or will he stay by the boss's side and fight for the tiger?
"Perhaps...... I'll kill him with my own hands, maybe ......!"
***************************************************************************************
The mission failed.
Paid the price of Naruto's serious injury and coma, killed four of the five Otoshinobi, and captured Tayuya, who was seriously injured, but still ...... Didn't bring Sasuke back.
Even though I've convinced myself that I don't care about Sasuke's defection anymore, I still think from time to time that if I could have solved the Otoshinobi Five faster, a little faster, then wouldn't things have been different?
Ming Ming created such a powerful ninjutsu, and Ming Ming completely restrained their fighting style...... Still couldn't finish them off cleanly. After severely invading the oni shark and defeating the orochimaru, I seem to be a little flustered! This time I fought with the sound ninja, the water spear technique was restrained to a considerable extent, and the water spear technique that had repeatedly performed miraculous feats under the hands of the great snake pill and the oni shark had no way to take Jun Mario......
Obviously, as long as I hit one shot, I can kill Jun Malu, but I just can't hit him! After seeing my water escape, the enemy quickly figured out a way to restrain me - as long as I don't let me hit, it's fine! As soon as I sense my chakra fluctuations, no matter whether I want to use the water gun technique or not, I will immediately dodge it, so that I can't lock on, leave one fast enough to contain me, and the rest hide in the shadows to attack; use non-physical attacks or attribute attacks such as fire escape to restrain Qing Shui Escape......
The next time I meet Xiao's characters, will they find more ways to restrain me?
Sakura Haruno, Sakura Haruno, you're not a perfect ninja without flaws!" I said silently in my heart. So, I can't just develop these ninjutsu, I need to become stronger and more flawless, and when the time comes, let those who think they have caught my weakness suffer to death!
Konoha Hospital, outside Naruto's hospital room.
I sat in a chair in the hallway, anxiously awaiting Tsunade's diagnosis while silently reviewing it.
"It's all right...... Sakura!" Tsunade said to me as she opened the door.
"That's good...... I forced a smile, "but, the mission failed, and Naruto was injured so badly......"
"Sakura-chan, you should have done well enough......" Tsunade comforted me, "This is actually my problem, I didn't expect Orochimaru to send such a strong ninja! It's already a surprise that you can defeat them!"
"No, it's still not enough...... I can do better!Tsunade-sensei, please train me!"
"Okay...... From tomorrow onwards, I'll teach you my original ninjutsu!" Tsunade said with a smile, "You go to Naruto's hospital room to accompany him first, and I'll go get some medicine!"
I pushed the door open.
Naruto had already woken up, his whole body covered in bandages, and he was silently looking at the ninja forehead guard that Sasuke had left behind with a slash to represent the defection.
"Sakura-chan, you're here!" Naruto said with a bitter expression on his face when he saw me, first with a joy, then his joy quickly faded, "Sakura-chan...... I'm sorry...... I wasn't able to stop Sasuke!"
Seeing the gloomy expression on the face of Naruto, who is usually sunny and optimistic, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart. Sasuke's defection caused great damage to Naruto not only physically, but also psychologically!
"You don't have to say you're sorry...... Naruto!" I said with a smile, as if Sasuke's defection was just a trivial matter, "Actually, it's all to blame for not coming in time." At that time, I thought you would be able to convince Sasuke to change his mind, so I asked you to chase Sasuke alone, but you ended up like this! When I found you, Sasuke had already left, and I couldn't continue to track you down, so I had to bring you back first......"
"So forget it! I've given up...... Sasuke has made up his mind, and we can't get him to change his mind! We can't find him, let alone take him back to the village! We don't want to look for him anymore...... Forget about him!"
"Sakura, how can you say such a thing!Sasuke, but he's a member of our seventh class!" Naruto said angrily, "He's our friend! If we don't find him quickly, he might be killed by Orochimaru!"
"Sakura-chan is right......" Jiraiya, who was wearing a white ponytail, suddenly slipped in through the window of the hospital room, "You better forget about Sasuke!"
"What a good uncle!" Naruto shouted in surprise.
"Can't you just come in through the door?Uncle Jiraiya!" I couldn't help but complain about Jiraiya's quirks!"You're here to find Naruto, what's the matter?"
"There's one thing," Jiraiya took a sip of a bottle of sake, "Naruto, I'm here today to officially take you as a disciple...... After you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you away for three years of cultivation! Besides, you can leave Sasuke's affairs alone......"
"Why?!" Naruto asked with a frown!
"First, you already know that Orochimaru defected in order to be reincarnated in Sasuke, but recently he couldn't wait for Sasuke's arrival, and he has already been reincarnated once. According to my intelligence network, Orochimaru's next reincarnation will be at least three years apart! That is to say, during this time, Sasuke is still safe! However, more importantly, Sasuke voluntarily went to find Orochimaru...... No matter what you do, you can't change his mind!"
"I've seen a lot of ninjas, and I can tell that Sasuke and Orochimaru are the same type of ninja...... For the sake of power, they can abandon all fetters!So you'd better dispel this idea!If you insist on going to Sasuke, I can only give up accepting you as an apprentice, order the shadows to spy on you, and forbid you to leave Konoha Village!"
"Because, you're not an ordinary ninja...... You are Xiao's target, one day, you have to deal with an enemy stronger than Orochimaru......!"
"This is your fate, Naruto...... Ninjas have to develop an eye for good judgment, and retrieving Sasuke is a very stupid and unwise thing to do. So, forget about Sasuke...... Stop harboring such stupid thoughts! If you want to survive in this cruel ninja world, you have to learn to be smart!"
Naruto's hands had unconsciously clenched too hard, blood seeping out of the bandages, and he was silent for a long time with his head down, and he finally spoke-
“…… I...... I see......" Naruto looked up and said with a determined look in his eyes, "if this is what is called smart...... Then I'd rather be a fool for the rest of my life!"
"Sakura-chan, Uncle Jiraiya, I will rely on my own strength to create more powerful ninjutsu, defeat Orochimaru, defeat Akatsuki......! Bring Sasuke back!"
Naruto said confidently!
Is this the charm of the main character?Although he made such a declaration like a fool, I had an inexplicable feeling that he was not lying, and that he was able to do it! Although, I think Naruto is more of a stubbornness, but, perhaps, in this cruel world, only paranoia can succeed!
When a road goes dark, even if it hits the south wall, he will not look back, but will keep hitting it until the south wall is smashed and a bloody road will be killed! Such a road is too difficult to succeed! However, once such a person succeeds, his achievements will be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"Fools are incurable...... But if it's a big fool, maybe there's some hope!" Jiraiya summoned a big toad, jumped up and said without looking back, "If you rely on your own strength, it is estimated that you can only develop some boring ninjutsu like the harbour palace!
Jiraiya sat on the head of the toad and left quickly.
"Tsk, Uncle Jiraiya is also a stupid guy with a knife mouth and a tofu heart!" I said after I guessed that I couldn't hear it anymore.
"Sakura-chan, what about you?"
"What am I, I'm not interested in getting Sasuke back...... Forget it," I retreated in defeat under Naruto's begging eyes, "I'll help you then!"
"It's you, remember to practice with Uncle Jiraiya! When you come back, if you still can't beat Sasuke, I'll definitely beat you up!"
There are many things that we mortals will not do because we think too much and have too many scruples...... However, a tenacious person like Naruto can often overcome all difficulties and move forward bravely! It is in this way that we will be happy to help Naruto and see how far he can go!
************************************************************************************
A few days later, Konoha Hinata's house.
"Ningji, let's stop for a moment! There's a guest coming!" In the distance, I heard Hinata Hinata's voice, and it seemed that the white eye had already spotted me.
Under the guidance of a Hyuga branch, I came to the venue where Ninji and Hinata practiced, and Hinata was really making tea for the two of them.
"Excuse me!" I said waving at them, "I'm here to find Hinata!"
"Hinata-san, it looks like I'm looking for you to say goodbye to Naruto together, right!" Ninji picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then turned to me again, "Sakura-chan, hello, long time no see!"
Sakura...... Hello, that farewell...... I'm ......!" Hinata blushed and lowered her head.
"Hinata, do you still mind what happened last time? don't worry, Naruto won't care!"
"What happened last time?" Ning Ci was slightly stunned.
I smiled and said, "Hinata went to visit Naruto in the hospital the other day, and when she saw Naruto covered in bandages, she fainted in front of Naruto!"
"Sakura, don't talk about it......" Hinata was already embarrassed.
"Then let's go!"
I stepped forward and grabbed Hinata's soft little hand and pulled her out of Hinata's house directly. In Hinata's house against the facial paralysis of Hinata and the defeated general Ning Ci of his former subordinates, I always feel very embarrassed and stressed!
Konoha Gate.
Naruto was looking nervously, "I said I was waiting for her here, why didn't she show up!"
"It's coming!" I pushed Hinata to appear in front of Naruto, "Look who I called!"
"Hinata," Naruto grinned, "you're here to see me off!"
"That, that......" Hinata was already so nervous that she couldn't speak, and finally just handed Naruto a box of ointment, said "Take care!", and ran away in a panic!
"Thank you!" Naruto looked at Hinata's distant figure a little confused, "What's wrong with her?"
I snorted out laughing and handed Naruto a scroll: "Naruto, you just leave her alone, let her be shy for a while! This is the next stage of cultivation experience of the Spiral Pill, remember to cultivate under the guidance of Uncle Jiraiya!"
"There's nothing else to say...... I patted Naruto on the shoulder, "Come on! When you come back, let's try to see how much progress you make!
"Don't worry!I'll work hard to cultivate!" Naruto said as he looked at me seriously, "When I get back, maybe I'll be stronger than you!"
"Hmph-" I didn't comment on Naruto's rhetoric, "When you come back, you have to be a tall and handsome boy!" and-"
I stared at Jiraiya, who was standing aside: "Uncle Jiraiya, if you dare to teach Naruto some bad habits casually, when you come back, I will definitely find you to have a good exchange of 'feelings'!"
A cold sweat ran down his head.
"Goodbye!"
Naruto gave me a thumbs up and walked away......!
