Chapter Ninety-Seven: Saving the Scene

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

Leaping high to dodge My Airo's strange hand, Sasuke flipped in the air, fiery fireballs gushing out of his mouth.

"Boom ——!"

The bright yellow fireball was hitting my Airo's strange hand, and under the flames, the surface of the strange hand began to crystallize, but before Sasuke could land, the insignificant crystallization turned into powder, and the strange hand of the tailed beast was restored to its original state.

"Damn, is the fire escape completely useless now?" This scene fell in Sasuke's eyes, which made him shocked and angry.

The experience from the previous game is completely unapplicable to the monster I Airo at this moment, and under the transformation of the tailed beast, the recovery ability of the sand makes him helpless.

But Sasuke doesn't have any other way now, Chidori he's used it twice, and that's basically his limit.

"Remember, with your current chakra, two thousand birds a day is already the maximum limit, and you must not force yourself."

"What happens if I use it a third time?"

"Chidori is a technique that cooperates with the writing wheel eye, don't forget the curse mark on your body, forcibly break through the limit, and the end is likely to be death."

Kakashi's advice from the time of practice flashed through his mind, and Sasuke pursed his lips, hesitating in his heart.

The current situation is that without Chidori, it is impossible to break through the defenses on the opposite side, but if you use it......

Subconsciously covering the curse mark on his neck with his hand, Sasuke still had trouble making up his mind.

"Ha, I've found you!"

While Sasuke was fighting in his heart, the opponent didn't intend to give him time to choose, and I Airo roared and flew in, and Sasuke, who didn't have time to react, swept with a powerful blow.

"Bang!"

Sasuke, who was swept out by the strange hand, slammed into a giant tree with several people at an unimaginable speed like a cannonball, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and stained the placket red.

"Hahahaha! Is your hatred only to this extent after all, Sasuke Uchiha, weak! It's so weak! "Instead of pursuing it immediately, I Airo laughed out loud on the spot.

It seems that Sasuke's hatred is far inferior to his own makes him super excited, which proves that he has more value than Sasuke.

"Shut ...... up"

The image of that night flashed through Sasuke's mind, making him tremble despite the pain in his body.

Under the cold blood, the man stood indifferently in the middle of the corpse of his compatriot, and his blood-red windmill-like eyes were even colder than winter.

"Shut up!" Sasuke raised his head sharply, and the three patterns (Magatama) spun rapidly in his eyes, and at the same time, the thunder of the birds sounded in his hands again.

His words infuriated him completely, and all his efforts and sweat since that night had been to repay this hatred that had gone deep into his bones, and he could not let the other party deny the meaning of his existence.

The forcibly refined chakra turned into a thunderbolt that tore through everything in his hands, and despite the blood falling from the corners of his mouth, Sasuke flew up with a roar.

"Chidori!"

The blue thunder light and the yellow sand's strange hand met in the air again, and this time Sasuke did not split the strange hand in half as last time, but aimed directly at the opponent's shoulder.

"Smack."

The two of them staggered in mid-air fell, and my monster-like right hand slipped from his body, and under the attack of Thunder, the invincible yellow sand monster hand was like roasted cheese.

However, Sasuke's situation here was not much better, although he was not injured, but the moment he landed, countless tadpole-like lines spread from his spell mark, and soon covered half of his face and his entire left hand.

"Ahh

The burning rejection caused him to not even have time to turn around and attack as planned, when Airo regained his strange hand, but he couldn't help but fall to one knee in severe pain.

"Damn, the body can't move......"

The ensuing sharp pain caused him to completely collapse with the curse mark in his hand, and Sasuke reluctantly turned to look behind him, and saw that Iara was already recovering quickly, and couldn't help but be very anxious.

However, no matter how hard he tried, even if his teeth were about to clench, he couldn't regain his original mobility, and he could only watch as Iara, who had recovered, attacked him with a smirk.

"Die!"

Without moving, the strange hand alone crossed the distance between each other, and the shadow of the strange hand hung over the desperate Sasuke, and it seemed that the next moment the battle would be over.

But what the two sides didn't expect was that when they saw that the sharp fingertips of the Yellow Sand Monster Hand were about to pinch Sasuke's head, time seemed to suddenly stand still, and the strange hand stopped abruptly, and the sharp fingertips were less than a centimeter away from Sasuke's eyes.

"Whew~ Shadow Mimicry - Success." Almost at the same time, someone suddenly spoke up near Sasuke.

This signature tone doesn't need to be guessed to know that it is Shikamaru, and at the critical moment, they finally arrived at the battlefield.

"Sasuke-kun, are you alright?" The first time to come up to help Sasuke, who couldn't move, Sakura quickly asked with concern.

She felt a deep fear at the moment, if Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique was slowed down by 0.1 seconds just now, her Sasuke-kun would die.

"Is that him?" Temari, who had been following the battle closely, noticed the comer and immediately recognized Shikamaru, who had impressed him from the previous match.

But she didn't make a rash move, even if she saw that the other party used shadow imitation to imprison her own brother, after all, my Ailuo was too dangerous at this time, and she didn't think that anything would happen to my Ailuo in this state.

"Sakura-chan, Shikamaru, how could you ...... Uh......" Sasuke asked in surprise as Sakura picked him up, but before he could finish speaking, the sharp pain from the spell mark interrupted him, and he clutched his neck and sweated like sweat on his face.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke's appearance made Sakura feel distressed, and he couldn't wait to bear the pain instead of Sasuke, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

"I said you two get out of here quickly, I can't hold on anymore!" This picture fell in the eyes of Shikamaru on the side, almost making him angry, and urged loudly.

Originally, because there was still a long time to go in the previous game, there was not much chakra left in Shikamaru's ninjutsu type that was constantly good at physical strength, and now it was the half-tailed beast power that was imprisoned with shadow imitation techniques, and it was a miracle that he was able to hold on until now, and seeing that Sakura was still grinding there, he really wanted to die at the moment.

"Why the hell am I coming? It would have been nice if I had known that I had stayed away. Feeling the tremendous power of Iara to break free from the shadow, Shikamaru tried his best to inject Chakra to maintain the shadow's restraints, while complaining with great regret in his heart.

The moment he saw this appearance, his heart began to sink continuously, and Naruto's words before leaving came true, even if he didn't know the specific details, Shikamaru at this moment knew that the other side was no longer an existence that they could deal with, especially Sasuke had become like that.

Now his mind was spinning, all he was thinking about was how to get out, and with him and the woman who only had love in his eyes and a puppy, there was basically no hope of making it to Naruto.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru became more and more anxious, because he found that he was almost unable to control the shadow, and the strength of the other party was simply beyond human imagination.

"It's going to be a little trick, and no one can stop me today!" At this time, under Shikamaru's terrifying gaze, I Airo was able to slowly move forward, looking at them with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Oops! I can't hold on anymore, you guys take Sasuke away! The shadow connecting Shikamaru and Iairo flickered at a high frequency at the moment, and feeling the stronger and stronger breaking power of the other party, Shikamaru, who had reached the limit, shouted nervously.

However, he still underestimated the other party, and almost at the same time as he reminded him, the shadow was suddenly broken and retracted back to his feet, and a wild roar from the opposite side came from his ears.

"Hahaha! Die! ”

Regained his freedom, I Airo slammed into the air, before the person arrived, the wind pressure on his face made Shikamaru almost unable to open his eyes, just when he was desperate and waiting for death, but he felt the strong wind around him skip by, he was startled at first, and then immediately reacted and looked back, just in time to see the strange hand of my Airo waving his right arm, killing the scene of Sasuke and the two.

"Oops! His goal is Sasuke! ”

His instinctive reaction caused him to immediately try to catch up and stop him, but with his speed, it was almost impossible to do.

"Sasuke-kun, be careful!"

At the critical moment, Sakura stood up, and she protected Sasuke behind her, summoning all her courage to face the hideous Iara alone.

"You ......"

This scene fell in my Airo's eyes, but I didn't know what reminded him, and the killing intent in his eyes was even worse, so he temporarily changed his target, grabbed Sakura, and pressed it the trunk behind him in the midst of his painful cry.

"Ahh

With the strength of the tailed beast and the blessing of anger, Sakura only had time to let out a scream, and her head drooped and she completely lost consciousness.

"Sakura!"

Sasuke, who had just been picked up by Shikamaru who had just caught up, saw this scene and immediately shouted with tears in his eyes.

But now he couldn't do anything but be incompetent and furious, and the restraint of the curse seal made him need to be supported even to stand, and the powerlessness that night and the feeling of powerlessness that he watched Naruto impaled by Orochimaru enveloped him once more.

Power, want power!

Seeing that Sakura was about to die at the hands of my Airo, Sasuke lowered his head in pain, he was fed up with this feeling of powerlessness, and now he was willing to use all his power to change the situation, even if he sold his soul.

At this time, Shikamaru was also very anxious, but the chakra in his body was empty, and he could only watch Konoha's companions being killed by that monster.

"Woo!"

However, just as this tragic scene was about to be staged, I Airo didn't know what was happening, and instead of doing it immediately, he covered his head with his left hand, looking very painful.

"Why...... One by one...... Why! I sighed under my mouth inexplicably.

The scene when Sakura stood in front of Sasuke before him was forced to recall the memories that he had hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

Sakura's face also unconsciously coincided with the face of memory.

"I love Ara-sama, please...... Please calm down ......."

"The so-called love is to sacrifice everything for the person you cherish the most, just like my sister did to you."

……

"Yakshamaru? Why? Why you?"

"Actually, I've always resented you in my heart, because my sister ...... I wanted to think of you as a relic of my sister and try to make myself like you, but ...... I can't do it......

"My sister doesn't really want to give birth to you at all, she's ...... She died for the sake of the village, and she died cursing you and this village......

"Ahh

The howl of pain that had fallen into the memory filled the entire forest, and the leaves slipped off one after another, just like Shikamaru and their mood at the moment.

"Compatriots? Companion? Hahahaha! It's ridiculous. After a while, Airo suddenly laughed wildly, and looked back at Shikamaru and Sasuke, "Don't you run away now, don't worry, I won't chase you, how about it, give up a useless woman to survive, is there anything more cost-effective than this?" ”

Sakura's large hand on the trunk of the tree was now separated from his arm, but it was still tightly clasped around Sakura's body.

Just listen to my Airo continue: "Just leave this woman alone, the sand will get tighter and tighter until she suffocates to death, Sa, choose now, whether to give up this woman and run for her life, or die here with her!" ”

The cruel choice was placed in front of Sasuke and Shikamaru like this, and the faces of the two of them suddenly turned extremely palpable.

Both of them understood that there was no element of intimidation in each other's words, one of them was devoured by the curse mark, and the other was exhausted by chakra, and the result of choosing to stay was to die together.

But giving up a companion is something that neither Sasuke nor Shikamaru can do, and for the two of them, this is no different from death.

The scene was at a stalemate, and I Ara made it clear that he wanted to see Sasuke and them abandon their companions to prove themselves right, but this side couldn't make such a choice.

"Uh......"

However, there was not much time left for them, and the gradually tightening sand made Sakura, who was unconscious, moan unconsciously, like a signal to urge the two of them, making their faces change at the moment.

"Shikamaru, you must make sure to bring Sakura back." At this moment, Sasuke slowly pushed Shikamaru's support away and whispered.

It seemed that some kind of determination had been made, and the will overcame the pain of the flesh at this moment, and even though he was trembling slightly, Sasuke still stood up straight.

"Hey, what are you going to do, don't be impulsive!" The keen Shikamaru seemed to see something in Sasuke's expression and hurriedly said.

However, Sasuke stretched out his hand to stop Shikamaru from continuing, still saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I will use Chidori one last time to rescue Sakura from the sand, and the rest is up to you." ”

Yes, Sasuke at this time was ready to sacrifice himself, he understood that if he wanted to tear apart the yellow sand that bound Sakura, he could only do it by relying on Chidori, and as for his current state, the consequences of forcibly exerting Chidori were no longer in his consideration.

"Sasuke, you ......"

Shikamaru wanted to persuade Sasuke again, but before he could finish speaking, Sasuke had already acted,

The tadpole-like curse mark began to spread all over his body, and the result of forcibly refining the chakra was to be devoured by the curse mark.

"Thousand ......"

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, it's not the time for you to really work hard."

Just as Sasuke forcibly used Chidori again, a voice came from above that surprised Shikamaru, and everyone present looked up in unison.

I saw a golden figure flying down from top to bottom with his back to the sun, who was it not Naruto.
