"Yemu, is that you?"
"Thank you for saving us."
Sakura Haruno saw Yemu approach.
A look of delighted surprise crossed her face.
"Thank me?"
Yemu shook his head and walked over to the Genin who had been electrocuted into unconsciousness.
After searching them, Yemu pocketed one team's scroll.
"Come on, Naruto. Let's hurry and help Sasuke."
Sakura Haruno reminded Naruto Uzumaki, who stood beside her looking eager for a fight.

"Yemu!!"
"I challenge you!"
Sure enough.
Naruto Uzumaki pointed at Yemu with a determined expression, making Sakura Haruno's face instantly darken.

"Fine, fine, fine."
Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki was asking for a beating, Yemu decided to see whether he could harvest some emotion points from the kid.
"Yemu..."
Sakura Haruno looked distressed. "Hinata, could you talk Yemu out of it? We can't beat him."
Hinata Hyuga spread her hands helplessly. "Sorry, there's nothing I can do. I support all of Yemu's decisions."
"Come on, buddy!!"
Naruto Uzumaki rubbed his hands together, looking excited.
"Here I come, then."
Yemu smiled.
He vanished on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Naruto, blue light flowing through his eyes. It wasn't just Naruto Uzumaki who was startled.
Even the Nine-Tails inside him bristled in
