Watch You Perform

"Huh? You want to come along? To rescue Hinata Hyuga?"

When Ye Liangnai arrived in the Land of Fire and had just found the cave, he was suddenly intercepted by Shikamaru Nara and the others.

"So, you're sure you want to go?"

Ye Liangnai looked at Naruto and said seriously, "The enemy you'll be facing next is far from ordinary!"

"With your current strength, you'll only barely qualify to enter. You won't be much help at all!!"

"Don't expect me to look after you. You could very well die on the battlefield. Even so, do you still want to come?"

At those words...

Naruto did not waver in the slightest. "Yes. Never giving up—that's my ninja way. I'll definitely bring Hinata back myself and ask her why she left with Otsutsuki Toneri!"

Naruto's face was utterly resolute, without a trace of fear!

Ye Liangnai nodded, then looked at Sasuke Uchiha and asked teasingly, "And why are you going? Hinata Hyuga doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!"

At those words!

Sasuke Uchiha said coldly, "Watching a companion from the same village die without helping isn't my style!"

"That idiot Naruto can't bring Hinata back on his own!"

Hearing that...

Ye Liangnai could not help but laugh. "Good. Since you've got that much courage, let me see what you can do!"

He then looked at Sai and Shikamaru Nara. "What about you two? Are you coming with me?"

Shikamaru Nara hurriedly waved his hands. "Well, well, well, we won't be getting involved in something this troublesome!"

Ye Liangnai curled his lips. "Fine, then!"

"Let's go, Naruto, Sasuke!"

Ye Liangnai leaped up and jumped into the lake inside the cave.

He slew the giant crab that attacked them with a single sword strike, then followed the route in his memories
