The four returned to Konoha, then Tsunade succeeded Hokage Position, and Team 7 started the task again, but Uchiha Sasuke was always dull, which Naruto ignored. He just wanted to see what Sasuke's idea was in the end. As for the process, he didn't care.
Two months after Fifth Hokage took office, Naruto was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door one night. The person who came to see him was Shikamaru.
"Sasuke defected." Shikamaru's words made Naruto stunned. Did someone from Orochimaru come to pick up Sasuke? Unexpectedly, Sasuke still chose this way, or maybe the illusion made him choose this way?
"Oh, so you came to me to take action?" Naruto asked after thinking about it.
"Yes, gather at the main entrance, bring all the equipment, and I'll go find the others." Shikamaru left immediately after finishing speaking.
Naruto put on his clothes and brought all his equipment, and then went directly to the gate. Sakura Haruno was the only one here.
"Naruto, Sasuke him..." Sakura Haruno started to cry, Naruto frowned. He began to hate Sasuke's character, but his experience did have something to do with it, but it was right to say that he was willful.
"I know." Naruto said to Sakura. He would not agree to Sakura to bring Sasuke back because he wanted to... Maybe... If possible, kill Sasuke.
"Then... can you promise me to bring Sasuke back?"
"No, if the rebellious nin cannot be brought back, then I will kill him directly." Naruto said very coldly. After hearing this, Sakura covered his mouth with both hands, tears falling down. Naruto glanced at his mouth. Although he is about to be thirteen years old, you are still a little kid, okay? What kind of unforgettable love can you play with me here?
"Please... bring Sasuke back, please?" Sakura begged.
"I am the ninja of Konoha. First of all, I have to be responsible for Konoha. From the moment Uchiha Sasuke defected, he is the sinner." Naruto has no intention of giving in at all. Sakura seems very helpless, but in Naruto's view, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.
At this time, someone else arrived, Hyuga Neji, Inuzuka Kiba and Shikamaru. There were only four of them in total. Naruto also understood that the strength of the four of them was The force is enough, because Naruto is here, Neji and Ya are basically doing reconnaissance work, Shikamaru is the captain, and Naruto is the main force.
"Ya, you are in charge of tracking in the front, Neji you are in charge of defense in the back, and Naruto and I are in the middle to provide support. Is there no problem?" Shikamaru said directly. He probably had already thought about it on the way, especially since Naruto is here.
The three nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then Shikamaru immediately announced the departure. The four of them moved forward directly in formation, searching for traces of each other in front. And Sakura Haruno kept crying at the gate. She didn't say another word until Naruto finally left, and then walked towards the village in despair.
The four-person team ran all the way, and Ya could easily trace their escape route, but if you pursue them like this, you need to have an advantage in speed, otherwise you won't be able to catch them.
"Naruto, haven't you noticed anything wrong with Sasuke recently?" Shikamaru asked halfway.
"He has always had problems, it's just a problem with his brain." Shikamaru listened to Naruto's words and didn't ask any more questions. The relationship between the two of them was obviously not good, so asking was in vain. Naruto couldn't usually pay attention to Sasuke.
"There is the smell of blood ahead." Ya said suddenly, and Shikamaru immediately shouted, "Neji."
"Byakugan." Neji turned on Byakugan and began to observe the front, "Our Konoha people were injured." The four people immediately accelerated their steps. When they arrived, they saw that it was Shiranui Genma and his two companions. They were seriously injured.
Shikamaru did not hesitate and released a distress signal flare himself. "The support team behind us will handle it. Now we can only rely on ourselves. Let's go." Shikamaru's decision was very decisive. Naruto even admired this guy. He relied on his strength and familiarity with the plot to get to where he is today. If he was in a different place, he would not have the wisdom of Shikamaru.
The four of them were on the road again, and the support team behind them arrived quickly, led by Shizune. She had to lead people to stay to treat the injured, and Naruto and the others would lose support. However, she has seen Naruto's ability. Uchiha Sasuke may have helpers, but he cannot be Naruto's opponent.
After chasing for more than an hour, Ya suddenly stopped, "The other party should rest in front." He said softly.
Neji started Byakugan without any instructions and looked over, "They are tired and injured. Although the injuries are not serious, Chakra must have consumed a lot and had to stop."
"It's normal. We've fought with Shiranui Genma and the others. They can't be intact. How many people are there in total?"
"Four people, and a big wooden barrel."
"That's right. Sasuke should be in the barrel. Although I don't know why, otherwise they wouldn't be carrying a big barrel in this situation. I think..."
"There is no need for a plan. You and we don't know what the other party is, so the plan is of no use at all. Instead, we are trapped. Now I will break through directly in the center, and they will be ready to support." Naruto suddenly said, the other party has spiders as their eyes and ears, and their plan has no effect at all.
Shikamaru frowned, touched his chin with one hand, and thought for a moment, "Okay, you should be careful. Kill them if you can. If that doesn't work, just disrupt their formation. We will find a way to cooperate with you later."
"Don't worry, their strength is far inferior to mine. You three should be more careful." Naruto said confidently, and then began to accelerate and rush to the front.
The spiders of Kidomaru must have discovered them, so Naruto rushed over without any cover-up, but these people were still disguised, condensing Chakra with one hand to form Rasengan, and then enlarged to join Wind Release Chakra "Wind Release! Rasenshuriken!".
Naruto was thrown directly towards their central position. The four of them didn't know what ninjutsu it was, so they subconsciously took a few steps back, but the distance was a bit close. The range of Rasenshuriken's explosion was very large.
"No, back up." Kidomaru realized something was wrong. This ninjutsu attacked the center of them. It must be a large-scale ninjutsu. They were still too close. Sakon and Ukon and Kidomaru were a little faster, but Tayuya and Jirobo did not react.
The storm formed instantly, and Tayuya was directly involved, "Ah..." Countless small Chakra Wind Blade began to cut her body. Jirobo was very slow, but he was a Earth Release ninja "Earth Release! Hardening Technique!"
