" Naruto? You're here too!"
"So Kakashi came too?"
"It's a pity Kakashi couldn't come because he was in bed; I'm filling in," Li Yu continued, but didn't mention taking Sasuke back.
"It was you!" Sasuke's expression changed slightly.
Sai pulled out half of a samurai sword from his back, a sound that excited Sakura.
" Sai, you really are..."
"Is that guy my backup? Another naive newbie has joined us."
"They said they wanted to protect the bond between me and Naruto."
Sai, your mission is to capture Sasuke.
"My classified mission was indeed to assassinate Sasuke, but orders no longer matter. Now I want to act according to my own will."
" Naruto reminded me of that feeling I had before, a feeling I always cherished."
"Although I don't know you very well, Naruto and Sakura risked their lives to chase you all the way here, there must be a reason."
"They don't want to sever their bond with you and are desperately trying to maintain this relationship, which I still can't fully understand."
"But Sasuke, you should be able to understand."
Yes, I understand.
That's why we must cut ties.
Seeing Sai's confession to Sasuke on behalf of Naruto and Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke's heartless reply, I finally understand how much Uchiha deserves to be beaten and taught a Uchiha Sasuke.
Watch quietly from the sidelines, be a quiet and handsome man, and see how the protagonist Naruto pulls things along.
"I have other ties, and that ties are my hatred for my older brother. Too many ties only make me confused."
"You think that will cut everything off, Sasuke?" Naruto roared angrily.
Sasuke suddenly disappeared and appeared next to Naruto, hooking his arm around Naruto's shoulder as the two began to whisper to each other.
"Speaking of which, didn't you dream of becoming Hokage? Instead of wasting time chasing after me, you should be training."
"Right, Naruto?"
"So this time, on a whim, I'll take your life." Sasuke slowly drew the Kusanagi Sword from his back.
"How can someone who can't even save a single comrade be Hokage?"
"Right, Sasuke?"
Sasuke swung the Kusanagi Sword at Naruto without hesitation, Sai stepped forward and grabbed Sasuke's wrist, and the two were locked in a stalemate.
"This defense is absolutely correct."
Naruto grabbed Sasuke's other hand, preparing to grapple him.
Li Yu calmly Hand Seals, pressing his palms together.
" Wood Release: Tree Sea Emergence "
Use the skill of planting trees on a large scale in situ.
Just like in the original story, Sasuke used Chidori Stream to break free from Naruto and Sai, his entire body covered in electricity.
Li Yu's Ninjutsu remained unaffected, while the trees converged on Sasuke from all directions.
Sasuke his sword, cutting through the trees and vines, and leaped back to the ground, looking down at the wildly growing trees below.
" Wood Release is so annoying!"
This kind of area-of-effect Ninjutsu is too unfriendly to agile ninjas, so they have to leave the range.
Sasuke raised his hand towards the sky, about to unleash the S-rank Ninjutsu Kirin, when Orochimaru suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist.
"Don't use that technique, Sasuke."
Yamato and Kabuto appeared on either side, Orochimaru's new F4 group appeared, each one more difficult to deal with than the last.
After listening to Kabuto's long-winded explanation, the headstrong Sasuke finally gave up his attack and found a way to back down.
Li Yu glanced at the team. Naruto and Sai struggled to their feet. It was four against four, and the battlefield was not in Li Yu's favor.
These three little guys can't even handle one of the other side unless they use overwhelming force.
"If Minato is here, I'll definitely go for it; I'll make sure to leave a few behind," Li Yu secretly calculated.
It seems the new F4 on the ground has been decided. Sasuke coolly sheathed his Kusanagi Sword, and the four of them spontaneously combusted and disappeared from the spot.
Naruto, pathetically, collapsed to the ground, sobbing and crying, looking just like a heartbroken young wife who had been abandoned.
Even if you cry, you won't bring Sasuke back. But I'm here. I'll grow stronger with you.
" Sakura is right, Naruto, you're just too weak. The Nine-Tails ' power hasn't become your assistant; instead, it's a burden."
"It's time to go home and ask your old man for advice. He's Perfect Jinchuriki, and he's also good at the Rasengan."
"Really? I can be as strong as my dad too?" Naruto looked up and said.
"Better than him"
The three of them looked up again, basking in the sunlight, and vowed to work even harder in their spiritual practice after returning to the village.
Li Yu led the group to stay another night at the original hot spring inn, washing away their worries and constantly telling them that they were too weak and needed to work harder in their training.
After returning to the village and a period of peace passed, a bald Konoha.
Tsunade urgently convened the newly formed 20th squad, preparing to mobilize them to eliminate the Akatsuki members who had entered the Land of Fire.
Upon receiving the intelligence, Li Yu rushed to the rooftop of the Hokage Office Building.
Sarutobi Asuma, standing at the front of the crowd, was spotted at a glance.
"Even if it costs Konoha's prestige, the most important thing is to protect the safety of the Land of Fire."
"We can't let those guys continue to run rampant."
"We absolutely cannot let them escape the Land of Fire! We must find them!"
"If we can't capture him alive, then let's execute him on the spot!"
Li Yu coughed a few times, indicating that he had something to say.
"Is there something wrong with the Anbu?"
"Here is the detailed intelligence on these two Akatsuki. Take this with you before you set off and study it carefully along the way."
Just like last time, Li Yu took out a scroll and meticulously recorded Hidan and Kakuzu's various abilities and fighting styles.
Li Yu tossed the scroll to Sarutobi Asuma and the team captains, gave Asuma a deep look, and then turned and left.
Sarutobi Asuma looked at Li Yu, who was wearing an animal mask, with a strange expression, and then casually took the scroll.
" Anbu intelligence"
I've given you all the detailed information about Asuma. If you still die like this, don't blame me, your teacher. Yuhi Kurenai deserves to be a widow.
"Go, disperse," Tsunade dismissively.
Along the way, the captains of each team simultaneously opened the scrolls and carefully examined their contents.
Sarutobi Asuma's face showed a look of surprise.
"Is the intelligence report this detailed?"
" Asuma- sensei, what's the situation with the intelligence personally delivered by the head of the Anbu?" Shikamaru asked curiously.
"It's written in such detail."
"Let me see"
"The intelligence was incredibly accurate!"
" Shikamaru, what did you see?"
"A member of Akatsuki, Hidan, a follower of Jashin Cult, weapon: a three-section scythe, a retractable throwing weapon, and immortal."
"The ultimate killing move: the curse ritual of the Jashin Cult, which involves consuming the enemy's blood, performing the ritual while standing within the formation, and dealing synchronized damage. Relying on immortality, it's a suicidal attack that ultimately takes the life of the blood's owner."
" Kakuzu, a member of the Akatsuki, is an S-rank missing-nin from Takigakure. He possesses the Earth Grudge Fear, which allows him to continuously steal hearts to achieve immortality. He has five hearts and five elemental transformation techniques. He is skilled in compound Ninjutsu to increase its power."
" Earth Grudge Fear: Ability to seize the heart and sew up the flesh."
"So detailed, how did the Anbu collect this information?"
"With this intelligence, dealing with Akatsuki will be much easier." The four-person team quickly headed to the temple in the Land of Fire to begin their search mission.
The other teams did the same; they all read the information in the scroll and then set off with full confidence.
