Chapter 54: Empty Kakashi
From the Central Tower in the direction of Entrance 32, four ...... No, five people were moving through the forest at full speed to be exact.
"Sakura-chan, are you sure it's going in this direction?" Running at full speed, Kakashi nervously asked Sakura behind him.
Knowing that time was pressing, and worried that Sakura would take the wrong direction because she was not familiar with the forest here, he was a little hesitant to summon a ninja dog to lead the way for the sake of safety, but he immediately canceled this idea, and the current situation was that not a second could be wasted.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'm sure, please hurry, Sasuke-kun...... Woo woo...... "I ran out of physical strength, so I had to lie on Kakashi-Kozakura and replied with tears in her eyes, and I couldn't help crying as she spoke.
Even though she rushed to the tower at full speed and informed Kakashi and the other shinobi, Sakura was so distressed that she could barely breathe at the thought of Sasuke's terrifying opponent facing her heart.
"Calm down!" At this time, Kai, who was also in the rescue team this time, saw her appearance and reminded: "Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun are undoubtedly two of you who are quite good in this class, you have to have confidence in them, and now it is up to you to lead the way, you must calm down Sakura." ”
Although Kai took out his usual sunny gesture to calm Sakura's emotions, but in his heart, the sense of foreboding became stronger, he had seen Naruto and them before the first exam, and his evaluation of the two was indeed as he said, but when he thought that these two children were facing that Orochimaru...... He glanced sideways at Kakashi, who was hurrying away, and sighed inwardly.
"I'm sorry...... Mr. Kai, I'm just ...... I'm sure ......" Sakura didn't know what she was talking about incoherently, and now she was clearly in the stage of the six gods without the master.
Asma and Red at the end of the team couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw this, and shook their heads in their hearts, and their evaluation of Sakura dropped two notches in their hearts.
As a ninja mentor, they can naturally see that Sakura is concerned about chaos, but the ninja should be more calm at this time, and the delicate red also sees that Sakura's motives for caring for her companions do not seem to be so pure, because whether it is in the tower or along the way, the girl of the seventh class has never mentioned another person in the seventh class once, and the name that is always shouted with a crying voice is only the boy of the Uchiha family.
"Is it the season of love, Kakashi-senpai must have a headache every time." Red looked at Kakashi in front of him, and the corners of his rose-like mouth twitched.
As a woman, she can already roughly imagine what Class 7 looks like as usual.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, compared to Sakura, the steps of the four ninja mentors were incomparable, and with the anxious rush to help Naruto, it only took Sakura less than half the time to approach the battlefield.
"This is ......" Kakashi, who was at the front, stopped abruptly at this moment, stopping on the huge branch of a tree near the end of the battlefield, looking at the scene in front of him speechless.
"That's too much of an exaggeration......" When the three Asma arrived, Red couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise from her seductive little mouth.
Kai and Asma also reacted in a similar way to Kakashi, shocked by what they saw.
The red-black ground, the scorched snake corpses, and the crystallized rocks after the magma cooled, the space within a radius of 100 meters and the forest behind it are completely two worlds.
They didn't dare to imagine what kind of battle Naruto and Sasuke had with Orochimaru to form such a purgatory-like landscape.
"There it is!" Kakashi was the first to notice something, and without elaborating on it, he jumped off with Sakura on his back.
Kai and the others hurriedly followed, considering that the opponent was the big snake pill, except for the anxious Kakashi, the three of them were on high alert.
Ran after Kakashi, and soon, Red and the others also found three figures who had fallen to the ground, and Red found his best friend in it, his pupils shrank, and his feet accelerated to the side of the fallen Red Bean.
"Whew, it's okay, it's just that I've been in a coma with some trauma." Red checked on Hongdou's situation for the first time, and to his relief, what she feared most did not happen.
However, just after Red informed a few people that the red beans were safe, she didn't receive any feedback for a while, and she looked up a little strangely, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snort softly, and her beautiful ruby eyes were full of disbelief.
She saw Sakura kneeling beside Sasuke crying, and Kakashi Asma and the others standing silent around the other child.
"They...... Are they ......?" asked Asma in a slightly trembling tone.
Her heart gradually sank to the bottom, and the happiness brought by the red bean's safety disappeared without a trace in an instant, chasing at full speed along the way, but she didn't expect them to be a step too late after all.
"Sasuke is fine, just unconscious like Azuki, as for Naruto......" Asma explained to Red in place of Kakashi, who had lost his soul, but at this point, he didn't know how to continue, so he could only sigh deeply and shake his head slowly.
Hong Wenyan's eyes widened, and he ran two steps over, finally seeing everything that had happened, covering his mouth and not believing the scene in front of him.
Naruto fell to the ground on his back, the blood from the wound on his chest had dried up, his face was as pale as snow, and he had no life in his whole body.
"There is only one wound on this child's body, he was pierced through the heart with a sharp weapon from behind, and he has to use a sneak attack on a child, what a despicable guy, Orochimaru, this bastard!" Kai, who had examined the corpse, slammed his fist on the ground and said hatefully.
With incomparably rich combat experience, he naturally easily restored that scene from Naruto's wound in his mind, thinking of the genius who should have a bright future, and died under Orochimaru's despicability, the anger in Kai's heart couldn't help but burn.
At this time, the calmest one was Asma, unlike Kakashi, who was silent at the moment, and Kai, who was angry, the first thing he thought of was the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails.
As the upper shinobi in the village, he naturally knows the identity of Naruto's pillar force, Naruto is now unlucky, but what about the Nine-Tails?
Asma felt a headache when he thought of this, although he was only a third-generation purpose, but he didn't know much about the human pillar force, and he didn't know whether the nine-tails would continue to be in the human pillar force or run out after the human pillar force died.
He wanted to open his mouth to remind everyone, but the atmosphere at this time made him unable to open his mouth, and he was very entangled for a while.
As the instructor of the seventh class, Kakashi stood beside Naruto's corpse without saying a word at the moment, and the scene suddenly fell into a long dullness, only Sakura's sobs on the side were intermittent.
……
"Hey! Little girl, didn't you hear us, Sasuke he's okay, don't cry! Finally, Kai suddenly broke the silence and glared at Sakura and said.
He couldn't figure out what was going on with this little girl, obviously one of his companions had unfortunately died, but he was endlessly just lying on his stomach at another person who had nothing to do and crying, the so-called companion of the seventh class made him cold, coupled with the depressing atmosphere at the moment, finally he couldn't help but scold.
"......" Sakura shuddered at Kai's sudden loud scolding, and then looked over as if she had woken up from a state full of Sasuke's head.
"Ahh Naruto! Only then did she notice that Naruto had died, and the expression on her face was panicked and self-reproachful, and she wanted to get up but stopped in place inexplicably, and she was at a loss for a moment.
It seems that he wants to express his sadness, and then he thinks back to what he looked like just now, and now he is crying like he is acting, and his embarrassed expression is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
"You ......" Kai was even more angry when he saw her appearance, and was about to say something more, but then Asma held his shoulder and shook his head at him, signaling that now was not the time for him to pursue this.
Sakura's performance naturally couldn't escape Asma and Hong's eyes, and although she felt disdain for her ugliness in her heart, she knew that there was no need to dwell on these at this time, especially when the guidance of the seventh class, Shangshinobi, was next to her.
What they have to do now is to quickly bring Naruto's body and the two unconscious wounded back, and at the same time report to Hokage-sama that what conspiracy Orochimaru has to return this time is the key consideration below.
"Let's go back first, this matter must be reported to the three generations of adults first." Red picked up the unconscious red bean on his back and took the initiative to say at this time.
Asma and Kai nodded, Asma was in charge of Sasuke, and Kai was ready to pick up Naruto, who was already cold.
"Wait a minute, Kai." Just as Kai crouched down and stretched out his hand, Kakashi, who had been silent, suddenly stopped him with a voice, "Naruto...... I'm here in person. ”
Kakashi picked Naruto up horizontally, looking at the pale face under the blonde bangs, unconsciously overlapping with the Obito of the battle of Kannakun in his memory, and his heart fell into a dead silence.
"Don't worry, I'll fight to protect my companions."
The country of waves, his promise at that time is still in his ears.
"Ninja, body, illusion, the three elements of ninja, we are prepared, you have to be careful of Rokakashi-sensei."
In the Bell Trial, Naruto, who had not been meeting him for the first time, but it seemed that Naruto, who had already understood his inner thoughts, was playing tricks on him.
"I told you I'd kick you in the face! Konoha Rigid Whirlwind!"
The first time I met Naruto, who didn't follow his orders but helped him get out of the water prison.
This scene flashed quickly through Kakashi's mind at this moment, and when the image disappeared, Kakashi only felt as if something had dug a hole in his chest, and it seemed that all emotions flowed out of this hole, leaving only his empty self.
