Amegakure's Sky Changes

So pathetic! Sasuke, who had just shown off, thought he was back in the game, only to immediately suffer a huge setback.

After a while, everyone's vision returned to normal. Shikamaru and the others were deeply shocked. This Solar Flare technique was too terrifying; it could instantly blind people, leaving them at the mercy of their attackers!

Sasuke looked at Qinglong, his cursed seal burning again and showing signs of expanding. He was unwilling to lose so easily to one person!

Qinglong frowned slightly, but still kindly said.

"Sasuke, that's enough! Burning the cursed seal will erode your body! In the end, it will make you lose yourself and become a savage beast without emotion, fierce and irritable!"

"I refuse to accept this! I want to fight again!"

Sasuke was still shouting, while Sakura, without hesitation, hugged Sasuke and pleaded with him to stop.

Her voice was filled with tears, sobbing as if she couldn't stop crying. No matter how badly Sakura was spoken of, her feelings for Sasuke were genuine!

Sasuke calmed down amidst Sakura's tears. The cursed seal that had spread across half his body receded. Calm again, he looked at his own hands, unable to believe how he had cruelly twisted Dosu's arm.

At this moment, Zaku was still very kind. He could hardly believe he could do something so cruel. Thus, he believed Qinglong's words: overusing the cursed seal would indeed turn one into an irrational beast.

Over there, Choji had already woken Naruto up with his Great Club. Naruto, with a large bump on his head, was still energetically jumping around.

Qinglong was speechless at having such friends. What exactly did Hinata see in this idiot?

Could it really be because, as the internet said, Hinata had the Byakugan and could see details others couldn't? Was he inferior to Naruto? This almost made the usually confident Qinglong lose his self-confidence!

Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and the others rested for a bit before splitting up again to snatch the scrolls. Qinglong waved goodbye to them, leaving him alone to stare blankly at Kin, who was still lying on the ground.

Since Orochimaru had caused him trouble, he also wanted to cause Orochimaru some trouble. So, he reminded Dosu to stay away from Orochimaru.

However, the effect seemed minimal. Orochimaru had many loyal subordinates who had been brainwashed. Losing a few people wouldn't affect his use of Impure World Reincarnation.

Yes, the Sound Ninja trio were just sacrifices for Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation!

"Mhm!"

Kin woke up. Seeing the young man before her, she quickly sprang up and put some distance between them.

"Who are you?"

"Where are Dosu and Zaku? And the Konoha ninja, Sasuke and the others?"

Kin had lost consciousness when Ino took over her body during the intense battle, so she didn't know what happened afterward.

"They've left! Dosu has also left. They abandoned you and asked me to take care of you."

"Laughably, the Konoha ninja Sasuke, whom you wanted to kill, was willing to spare your life. And that Nine-Tails brat even told me to take good care of you!"

"How is that possible!"

Kin said angrily, "How could they abandon me and leave? And are you Konoha ninja really that kind?"

"As you can see, didn't I let you go? And don't you know what kind of people your companions are?"

Looking at Qinglong, who seemed indifferent, Kin started to believe him a little. She knew her companions well; Dosu was okay, but Zaku was truly a cold-blooded and heartless individual.

Qinglong patted his butt and stood up. The matter was settled, and he prepared to head to the central tower.

"Alright, it's good that you're awake. I was originally planning to find a stick to knock you awake, but now you've saved me the trouble."

"You can go now. Remember, if you want to live, stay far away from Orochimaru!"

"Hmph!"

Kin snorted and leaped away into the distance.

"Let's go!"

Qinglong patted the large tiger and leaped onto its back. The tiger slowly carried Qinglong towards the central tower.

This forest was Tobirama's Wood Release barrier, which was why the trees were so lush. It was also home to many fierce beasts and venomous snakes. Having the large tiger around reduced the harassment from these creatures.

"Ah!!"

A scream came from ahead. Kin burst out from the woods ahead, looking disheveled, and ran towards Qinglong.

"Ahead... there's so much blood ahead!"

"Hm?"

Qinglong rode the tiger to look. In a clearing within the forest, blood and sand covered the ground, and a strong smell of blood filled the air!

"Sand Siblings Gaara!"

Qinglong looked at the Asura-like scene and walked away speechlessly. Gaara was too brutal!

He glared at Kin irritably.

"Don't show me scenes like this in the future!"

Kin was also a bit embarrassed. After all, she was just a young girl and had been scared too.

After that, Kin followed behind Qinglong, afraid of being attacked by ninja from other villages if she traveled alone.

"I say, aren't you ninja dancing on the edge of a knife? Why are you so afraid of death!"

Qinglong looked at Kin with disdain.

Kin chuckled awkwardly.

"Although we ninja aren't afraid of death, battles that can be avoided should still be avoided!"

As time passed, genin teams from various ninja villages gradually arrived at the central tower. As they got closer to the central tower, they encountered more and more ninja. Suddenly, Qinglong's eyes narrowed.
