Chapter 51: The Wisher Takes the Bait
By the time Sakura returned to the river, Naruto had already taken care of a few fish, and the blood was floating down the river without any shredging.
"Really caught? So fast? ”
Sakura was a little dumbfounded, and after putting the dead branch in her arms on the ground, she walked over to Naruto.
"Well, I caught a few of them." Naruto didn't raise his head either, "We don't have enough salt to store meat, so ........"
"Naruto, you're amazing." Sakura said.
"It's not a big deal, practice makes perfect." Naruto got up, "Don't sleep too hard tonight, there's still a fish on the bait." ”
"At night? Fish? ”
Even though Sakura didn't quite understand the meaning of Naruto's words, she still had goosebumps almost instinctively when she looked at the blood floating in the river. Blood attracts more predators, and no one knows what will happen after dark.
With a whoop, Naruto reached out and released a small amount of melt in the dry pile of velvet, using the instantaneous heat to ignite the velvet with a thud.
The firelight dispelled Sakura's fear, and she stood up and went to the river to fetch water, moistened the towel and put it on Sasuke's forehead, leaving all that was left to wait.
She looked at Naruto, who was skewering it with a washed twig, and then made a grill.
"I'll help."
Sakura got up and took the branch that pierced the fish, and roasted it over the fire with the same care as Naruto did.
The firelight shook on Sakura's dusty face, and her eyes were slightly distracted. It seems to be thinking about what happened during the day, and his eyes show fear and confusion.
After a long time, she lowered her head and asked.
"Naruto, why would Orochimaru attack Sasuke?"
"Who knows." Naruto replied casually, "Maybe Orochimaru has a crush on Sasuke, he must have told you about strength or something, right?" ”
"Hmm." Sakura nodded, "I did say that he told Sasuke that if Sasuke needed strength, he would go to him." ”
"Then it can't be helped." Naruto and Sakura were next to each other grilled fish, and said casually, "That guy Sasuke cares so much about power, and all he thinks about is revenge, maybe he will really be said by Orochimaru." ”
"Huh? So what to do? Sakura panicked, "Would Sasuke really do that?" ”
"I don't know, I'll have to ask him about this." Naruto flipped the fish over to prevent it from being scorched, "Didn't he still shout revenge or something like that?" Hatred, once it grows, is insolvable, and will only drag people into the abyss step by step. ”
"Unless ......."
"Unless what?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing." Naruto smiled, "Unless you die, the hatred will end." ”
What he actually wanted to say was that unless Sasuke was also pierced by human souls, it would be like him. What old dreams did you do with him? Whoever bullies him now, designates a knife to him!
However, Naruto does not intend to meddle in Sasuke's revenge journey, and he will live a long life without meddlers.
As for what happens to the world in the future, let's talk about it later.
It was getting late, and the light in the forest was almost non-existent.
Around the campfire, Naruto said as he handed Sakura a cooked and salted fish.
"Taste it."
"Thank you." Sakura was also hungry for a day, so she took it from Naruto's hand and took a bite, "It's delicious." ”
Sasuke was still unconscious, but he looked much better, at least he was breathing evenly. Naruto glanced at the second pillar lying on the side, and said in his heart, this kid shouldn't be defeated by the curse mark, right?
Naruto and Sakura each ate two, leaving the remaining two for the unconscious Sasuke.
After eating and drinking, the two began to discuss their next steps.
"The Scroll of Heaven was snatched by Orochimaru." Sakura said with some annoyance, "Now we have to beat two teams to make the cut, but right now Sasuke-kun is unconscious. ”
"Well, don't worry." As he spoke, Naruto took out the two scrolls of Heaven and Earth from his arms and handed them to Sakura, "Here, I grabbed it." ”
"Huh?" Sakura-chan was stunned, "Naruto, how did you grab two scrolls by yourself?" ”
"On the way to find trouble with the sound ninja, I happened to meet a team of grass ninjas, and what they were holding in their hands happened to be the scroll of the sky." Naruto scratched his head and said, "Originally, I didn't want to take it with me, but I hesitated and took it, but now I can use it." ”
"Great! Naruto! Sakura was excited and hugged Naruto directly!
Distance.
As the trio of pigs, deer and butterflies leaned against a tree and looked at the campfire, Shikamaru curled his hand into the shape of a telescope and stared at it and complained.
"What are Naruto's guys doing? If you dare to light a fire in the forest in the middle of the night, you will be targeted. ”
"That's the river, maybe I lost the food pills, so I'm going to roast the prey and other things I hunted, right?" Ino crossed his hands on his chest and said nonchalantly.
"Sasuke seems to be asleep?" Shikamaru said lazily, "Why is Naruto's guy being held by Sakura?" That guy's girly fate is too enviable, right? ”
"What! Hold! Ino was not calm for a moment.
Looking towards the firelight, but there was nothing, Naruto and Sakura were talking next to the fire.
"Ino, what's wrong with you?" Shikamaru asked.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, I'm just curious. Ino said with a reluctant smile, "I remember that Sakura-chan doesn't just like Sasuke, how can he hold Naruto, you must be dazzled." ”
"That seems to make sense." Shikamaru scratched his head, "Maybe I read it wrong." ”
"But they're going to have a problem with that, and if they keep lighting a campfire, they'll lure the other teams over." Ding Ci squinted his eyes and interjected, "Should we go and remind them?" ”
"It's too late." Shikamaru suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Hide, someone is leaning over!" ”
The trio's faces suddenly froze, and they hid tacitly.
By the river, the bonfire was almost extinguished.
Sakura sat on the side, looking extremely nervous. But she didn't make a sound, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep as Naruto had said.
After a while, three figures appeared in the river.
Almost silently, the three of them slowly leaned towards the campfire by the river.
Naruto was still pulling the fire with his stick, looking completely unaware of the movement around him. This reassured the trio of Fog Hidden a lot, and with a wave of their hands, the three of them suddenly burst out and attacked.
At the last moment, Naruto's figure by the fire disappeared in an instant.
"How so!" The Fog Hidden Ninja secretly said that it was not good, and suddenly realized that this was a trap.
But it was too late to escape, and Naruto's figure suddenly appeared behind a person, a dazzling blue light flashing. A large cloud of thunder and lightning was forcibly stuffed into the body of a misty ninja by Naruto, and a scream suddenly rang out, startling the night forest birds.
