Leaving

Everyone fell silent. After a long while, Naruto woke up and found himself on Kakashi's back. He asked, "What happened to me?"

Naruto landed on Kakashi's back and asked, "Is it over? Sakura, are you alright?" Naruto remembered that Sakura had been injured before, and then he lost his memory. Seeing Sakura standing there unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly realizing he had fainted for no apparent reason, Naruto's heart skipped a beat. Recalling the wound on Jiraiya's chest, Naruto said, "Could it be that I...?" Naruto clenched his fists tightly, his face full of self-reproach.

Sakura came to Naruto and said, "Naruto, we're all alright."

Naruto looked at Sakura and Kakashi; they didn't seem injured, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "It seems I didn't hurt Sakura and Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto then looked at Gaara on the ground and asked, "Sakura, how is Gaara?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura fell silent, saying nothing. Seeing Sakura's silence, Naruto's heart tightened, and he said in a low voice, "Sakura..."

Sakura shook her head and said, "Gaara, he's already..." She didn't finish her sentence.

Naruto gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Why, Gaara, why did you die? You were the Kazekage!"

Chiyo said in a deep voice, "Calm down, Naruto."

Naruto was already losing control of his emotions and shouted, "Shut up! Why did you Sand Ninja have to be sealed inside Gaara by that monster? What kind of Jinchūriki is this...?" As he spoke, tears streamed down Naruto's face. He recalled the hardships he had endured as Jinchūriki, and the helplessness he felt when Sasuke left. He never imagined that he would be powerless to save Gaara again this time.

Chiyo stood up and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to heal Gaara. Let's leave here now."

Upon hearing this, Naruto stopped crying and looked at Chiyo, seemingly trying to discern the truth from her expression. After a while, he said, "Granny Chiyo, I'm counting on you." Then he carried Gaara on his back, while Sakura went to Chiyo's side and helped her up.

Kakashi followed behind, and the group walked out of the cave together.

On a rock by the riverbank, Might Guy and the imposter Might Guy Might Guy were facing each other. Might Guy shouted and rushed in front of the imposter Might Guy, throwing a punch. The imposter Might Guy dodged the punch by shaking his head, and then threw a punch at Might Guy.

Suddenly, Might Guy sensed the Nine-Tails 'Chakra disappear. His eyes narrowed, and he caught the punch, taking a few steps back before speaking into the radio, "Neji, how's the situation over there?"

Initially, Neji saw Naruto go berserk, but he was quickly met with a frenzied attack from the imposter Neji, leaving him only able to defend himself. Upon hearing Might Guy's words, he was momentarily distracted and was sent flying by the imposter Neji's attack, crashing heavily to the ground.

Neji said, "Wait a minute, give me a moment." Then he leaped up and the imposter Neji rushed over, pouncing directly on Neji. The two clashed in mid-air.

Neji landed on the ground, unable to help but take a few steps back. His eyes narrowed, and he unleashed an "Air Palm" attack. A Chakra shockwave rushed towards the imposter Neji quickly dodged the attack. Bang! The Chakra shockwave shattered a rock.

Neji shouted and unleashed another "Air Palm" attack, sending Chakra shockwave towards the imposter Neji. The imposter Neji felt the attack as soon as he landed, but his expression remained unchanged. He leaped up and dodged the attack once again.

Seeing this, Neji unleashed several more "Air Palm," directly destroying several rocks, forcing the imposter Neji to retreat more than ten meters away. Neji gained a chance to catch his breath and Neji the opportunity to look back at the cave. He saw Sakura supporting Chiyo, Naruto carrying Gaara, and the five of them, including Kakashi, walking out of the cave together.

"It seems they have defeated their opponent," Neji thought with delight, and immediately said over the radio, "It seems the battle is over."

On the other side, Tenten fired a Kunai with her right hand. Just as she rushed in front of Tenten imposter Tenten, the Explosive Tag on it detonated, sending dust billowing into the sky. Tenten seized the opportunity to hide behind a rock and asked, "Neji, has the battle ended? Who won?"

Rock Lee leaped into the air, colliding with the imposter Rock Lee mid-air. Hearing Neji's words, he landed and immediately asked, "Where's Sakura? How is Sakura?"

Neji said, "Sakura, she's alright. She, Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, and the others have started leaving the cave. It seems they've defeated another Akatsuki member."

The imposter Tenten waved her right hand, and several ninja tools rushed towards the rock where Tenten was hiding, exploding instantly. Bang! The rock shattered, sending countless fragments flying. Tenten leaped up, barely dodging the explosion, and landed on the ground. Several Kunai flew out from her left hand, rushing towards the imposter Tenten and exploding.

Taking the opportunity, Tenten asked on the radio, "Sakura, did they win?"

Might Guy, confronting the imposter Might Guy, said, "Is that so? They defeated the Akatsuki members."

Upon hearing this, Rock Lee shoved his opponent aside and said, "As expected of Sakura." His words were filled with joy and pride.

Neji said in a low voice, "However, it seems we're in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy asked, "What's wrong, Neji?"

Neji collided with the imposter Neji, throwing Neji aside, and said in a deep voice, "Now, both members of Akatsuki have been defeated, but our Ninjutsu is still not unleashed, which means..."

Tenten, hiding behind a rock, interjected, "In other words, even if this Ninjutsu defeats the enemy, it won't be undoed." Just as she finished speaking, she noticed a shadow above her. Looking up, she saw the imposter Tenten shoot several Kunai at her, which then exploded violently.

Rock Lee, however, became excited and said, "We'll defeat our own imposters!" With that, he rushed in front of the imposter Rock Lee and swept his leg towards Rock Lee's feet. The imposter Rock Lee leaped up, and Rock Lee seized the opportunity to kick him, sending Rock Lee staggering.

Might Guy immediately retorted, "Alright, let's burn with youthful energy!" and charged at the imposter Might Guy, colliding with him.

After an unknown amount of time, Might Guy, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten were all breathing heavily, their Chakra depleted.

Rock Lee kicked away by the imposter, panting heavily as he said, "Have you guys noticed? They seem to have gotten stronger."
