Escape From Konoha

Sasuke has always thought that it is not a happy thing for the current self to suddenly meet an old friend from the past.

Just like meeting Naruto before, although he still feels nostalgic for the past, when their positions and goals become different, the so-called friends are just a big obstacle on his path. That said, but when he saw this familiar figure, Sasuke didn't think about escaping or leaving, but just said hello as in the past:

"It's Sakura, long time no see."

His tone was extremely flat, as if seeing a long-lost old friend, it couldn't cause the slightest wave in his heart.

Sakura's pupils trembled a little, as if she couldn't believe the scene in front of her was real, but when Sasuke spoke, he gradually regained his composure.

Sasuke in front of him is real.

Although it is different from the past, the temperament is more indifferent, but some things cannot be changed.

In order to achieve a certain goal, the strong will to fight for oneself is brewing in the eyes, buried, waiting for the moment to explode.

"Well, long time no see, Sasuke."

Suppressing the trembling in her voice, Sakura didn't know what to say for a while, her head was empty, and she said such a sentence.

The people who came and went seemed a little curious when they saw the two of them standing facing each other.

Sasuke didn't have that kind of interest in being watched, so he said to Sakura, "Let's go outside and talk."

Saying that, she walked out of the door on her own, Xiao Ying took a beat before slowly following up, her breathing was short, and in her twinkling eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Sasuke stopped at the courtyard bench in front of the building, where flowers and plants were planted, and occasionally some injured people could be seen, taking a walk in the evening.

Sakura sat on the bench with an excited and complicated mood. She had imagined countless times that when she saw Sasuke again, she had to say something, as if she had endless words to say. But after seeing Sasuke for real, he couldn't remember anything.

"I heard about you when I was at Orochimaru two years ago. Destiny is really wonderful. I didn't expect that we would meet somewhere other than Konoha."

Sasuke sat on the bench, and the scene of the courtyard reflected in his eyes, as if he was a little emotional about the impermanence of fate.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to be here, Sasuke. But why haven't I seen you before?"

Sakura's sitting posture was a little stiff, and there was a little panic in her tone of voice.

In the morning, I was still talking to Hanami Haruka, and I was going to the intelligence department to inquire about Sasuke's news. As a result, when I got off work in the afternoon, I met him directly.

Such a dramatic arrangement directly disrupted her arrangement and deployment. The surprise came too suddenly, leaving her unprepared.

Facing Sakura's question, Sasuke also answered truthfully: "I have to work at Orochimaru because of some things, and I didn't arrive here until yesterday after finishing the work."

"Orochimaru? I heard that it's Sasuke you..."

"Ah, it's my hand. He was originally the planned target of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and it just happened to be the time to close the net a while ago, so there is no need to keep him."

Sasuke's affirmative reply made Sakura tremble.

Some things that I didn't understand, the many mysteries that were stuck in my heart, finally cleared the clouds and realized it. "Really? Sasuke, you have become so strong."

Being able to defeat Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, Sakura can imagine that Sasuke's strength at this time is already different from what it used to be.

"There, I also met Naruto." Sasuke said again.

"Naruto?"

Sakura's tone was a little surprised.

"It seems that Konoha's goal is also Orochimaru, but he came a step late. Although that guy has become very strong, his attitude towards doing things seems to be the same as before, and he always has naive thoughts, which is really unbearable. "

"I also heard before that he and Shayin's people joined forces to defeat a dangerous ninja like the Red Sand Scorpion. Sure enough, both you and Naruto have grown a lot."

Thinking of this, Sakura clenched her fist, wondering how far her fist can reach now?

how many she

In 2008, although there was also training in combat, he did not participate in any actual combat, and was basically soaked in the medical department.

The only time he was trained was when he was dispatched by the senior medical department to the western part of the country of the original land, now the eastern stronghold of the land of ghosts, where he served as a military doctor for three months, and then was dispatched back to work in the medical department again.

Therefore, although she is essentially a medical ninja who saves the dying, she also has a strong belief in her heart that she does not want to lose to men.

"By the way, what about Kakashi-sensei? Didn't he come back with you? I remember he went to Orochimaru with you, right?"

Sakura asked this question, asking about Kakashi's whereabouts.

Thinking about it carefully, she and Kakashi have not seen each other for a long time.

However, compared to Sasuke's crime of defecting to Konoha, Kakashi's crime of defecting to Konoha is even greater, which also makes Sakura's mood more complicated.

Over the years, she has borrowed from the intelligence department of the land of ghosts, and has also learned some things about Kakashi's past. The reason why he betrayed Konoha and assassinated the third Hokage is very simple - hatred.

His father, Hatake Sakumo, died in the chaotic political struggle in Konoha, so he will spread his fangs to the top of Konoha and take revenge to calm the hatred in his heart.

There is no more legitimate reason for me to act in the name of revenge.

"He is still in the country of Tian. If you want to see him, he will come back together in a few days, and that guy Mizuki."

"Mizuki? Could it be Teacher Mizuki?"

Sakura was surprised again and heard an unexpected name.

She naturally knew Mizuki, an elite teacher from the original ninja school with an excellent reputation and a very relaxed educational attitude.

But later I heard that he had committed some things and defected to Konoha, which surprised the students who had been taught by him.

Even Sakura couldn't believe it when she heard the news.

Now listening to Sasuke say this, the other party is probably the nail that the country of ghosts took the opportunity to place on Orochimaru's side. Thinking of this, the corners of Sakura's mouth twitched.

"Well, that guy is cooperating with Kakashi in the country of Tian, ​​and it seems that he is going to transfer some people." Sasuke nodded.

Unconsciously, as the sun sets, the street lamps in the courtyard begin to turn on, illuminating the surroundings and bringing a softness.

As summer is approaching, the evening breeze blowing is refreshing.

"Then next... Sasuke, you shouldn't leave the country of ghosts, right?" In the end, Sakura asked this question nervously.

"No, my stay in the country of ghosts won't be too long. I still have important things to do."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, his black pupils were full of fierceness, so that Sakura who was sitting next to him could feel the dangerous aura on him, and he began to feel uneasy like sitting on a pincushion.

"It's better to say, come back from Orochimaru, my 'revenge" has just begun! "?

"Huh...huh..."

In the already darkened forest, there was a sound of heavy breathing.

On the trees next to it, there is a lantern for lighting, illuminating the open space.

A figure stood on the open space, hunched back, wiped the sweat from his face, and let out a heavy gasp, looking at the huge pits in front of him, showing a satisfied smile.

At this moment, a pop sounded, the sound of a branch being trampled and broken. "Who?"

With the help of the figure in the open space, a figure walked out of the shadow behind the tree. The other party strolled leisurely with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Yo, good evening, Naruto."

"Uh, Shikamaru, why are you here?"

After Naruto saw the person coming, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared, and he straightened slightly, wondering why Shikamaru came to find him at this time.

"I have nothing to do, come and see your current situation. However, I didn't expect you to work so hard, and you are still cultivating so late... Besides, you are exaggerating too much."

Shikamaru looked at the many deep pits that appeared in front of him, like the giant pits that were bombarded by the falling of countless meteorites, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly.

He knew that Naruto was training new

technique, but the power of this new technique is too terrifying. I heard that a few months ago, Naruto used a half-finished new technique to successfully inflict heavy damage on the red sand scorpion. Naruto scratched his head, with an embarrassed look on his face that he didn't know what to say.

"There is no way. This new technique is too difficult to cultivate. Although I have mastered a little trick recently, I think it will take some time to fully take shape."

Naruto expressed his speculation.

The training difficulty of Spiral Pill is originally a high difficulty A.

As a result, the wind attribute chakra has to be injected into it, and even it has to be converted into immortal art later to further enhance the destructive power of ninjutsu. I also know that this is not an easy thing to do.

"It's good to be confident." Shikamaru nodded, glanced around, and once again set his eyes on Naruto

He said, "Speaking of which, I heard from Hokage-sama after this mission. Don't be discouraged. After all, no one thought of the intervention of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Thinking of this, Shikamaru couldn't help feeling sorry.

What a good opportunity this was, but because of the sudden intervention of the Kingdom of Ghosts, their side came back without success.

And the worst thing is that I also learned that Sasuke was originally from the country of ghosts, and that he took refuge under Orochimaru, which was a spy. Not only that, but even the person who originally deduced that Kakashi is Orochimaru has become ambiguous.

In other words, the already powerful country of Oni will become stronger in this operation, which is definitely not a good thing for the enemy's Konoha.

"I have already seen this kind of thing. As long as I can meet Sasuke, I will be satisfied." Naruto said so.

But Shikamaru could still hear helplessness and annoyance in his tone. Shikamaru stared at Naruto.

"What's wrong, Shikamaru?" Naruto blinked in confusion.

"No, it's nothing. Actually, after this mission, I've always had a bad feeling in my heart." Shikamaru expressed his unease.

"A bad feeling?"

"What do you think Sasuke will do next?"

Shikamaru continued to look into Naruto's eyes and asked. Naruto was heartbroken.

"This kind of thing..."

"Actually, Naruto, you also understand, but you don't want to think about it. However, the current situation does not allow us to delay, some decisions, it is better to be firm earlier. Sasuke, he is very likely next. ... No, he will definitely attack Konoha for revenge!"

Shikamaru stared at Naruto's blue pupils, and from his eyes, Shikamaru saw sourness and bitterness. Obviously, Naruto also understands this truth.

It's just that, as Shikamaru said, he doesn't want to think about it in this direction... Or, he subconsciously avoids such a correct answer.

......Is there no other way, Shikamaru? "

Naruto lowered his head and clenched his fists, still hesitating in his heart.

"Unless one of us falls completely, his revenge will not stop." Shikamaru broke Naruto's unrealistic fantasy.

"Really? Surely not?"

Naruto raised his head and looked at the night sky, the cold moonlight reflected in his blue eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shikamaru nodded, reluctant to say more, turned to leave the place, and disappeared into the shadows of the woods. Seven thirty in the evening.

"You've worked hard for the report. That guy Lu Jiu really did not see the wrong person. Although he is still young, your ability to do things is quite good."

In the Hokage office where the lights were not turned off, Tsunade's voice of admiration could be heard.

Although the mission to destroy Orochimaru failed, and most of Yunyin and Shayin's ninjas and Anbu left one after another, the Chunin exam still needs to continue.

After taking over the information report made by Shikamaru, Tsunade sorted it out a little, then put it aside with satisfaction and distributed it tomorrow.

"Where, thanks to the help of Sandyin's Jōnin Temari, otherwise I wouldn't have finished so quickly." Shikamaru answered modestly.

"If only the young ninjas in the village were as easy as you are." "If they were all like me, Konoha would be finished."

Shikamaru didn't dare to follow Tsunade's train of thought, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down his face. Immediately, he straightened his face and reported to Tsunade:

"Just now, I went to Naruto's place for a walk." "Oh? Did you do psychological counseling work?" Tsunade became interested.

Shikamaru shook his head.

"Naruto is not that fragile. He can survive to this extent. I just wanted to confirm his inner thoughts, but I found that it still can't be done."

"Is it because of Sasuke Uchiha?"

Tsunade took a sip of water and leaned back on the seat. "Lord Hokage is really discerning."

"For ninjas, being too emotional is not a good thing."

"That's right, the rationality and sensibility of ninjas should be balanced, otherwise they will suffer a lot in battle, and even bring the risk of death to themselves." Shikamaru admitted this point of view, and then changed the topic: "However, There should be no one in this world who can really balance that."

"Do you want to excuse Naruto?"

"No, I want to beg Hokage-sama for one thing." Shikamaru's expression became serious.

Tsunade was silent for a while. "Tell me."

"I want to personally lead the team to kill Sasuke."

Shikamaru's words were astonishing, with an unprecedented determination in his eyes, and a killing intent as cold as winter. "Naruto doesn't know what you think."

Tsunade continued to drink water and looked out the window at the dimly lit night market. Although he was in doubt, he was sure that Shikamaru did not reveal any relevant thoughts to Naruto.

Shikamaru nodded and said, "If he knew what I was thinking, he would definitely try to stop it. So, I want to kill Sasuke before he attacks Konoha."

"Are you sure that Sasuke will attack Konoha?"

Tsunade put down the cup in his hand and looked Shikamaru straight in the eyes.

"This kind of thing doesn't need to be specifically asked, can you guess it? Besides, I think you are already making relevant preparations, Mr. Hokage."

If it's just Uchiha Sasuke, it's not worth Konoha's response with such fanfare.

However, Uchiha Sasuke is now backed by the kingdom of ghosts. If the kingdom of ghosts supports Uchiha Sasuke in the revenge action, then things will become extremely difficult, and it is no longer a personal revenge action by Uchiha Sasuke.

Taking precautions, Shikamaru determined that Tsunade was already taking corresponding countermeasures. "It's not a good way to carry everything alone." Tsunade sighed, not wanting Shikamaru to make such a choice.

"But now there is a way to choose, and I don't have the time to continue waiting." "... Then, what about after?"

"after?"

"After killing Sasuke, will you also get rid of Sakura and Kakashi?" "...Yes."

Fearlessly looking at Tsunade, Shikamaru did not hide his thoughts.

"Teacher Sarubi arranged for you to contact Naruto and include him in the group, which seems to be a wrong decision."

Tsunade suddenly said these words that shocked Shikamaru.

In the past, in order to take care of Naruto's daily life and cultivate the connection between Naruto and the village, he needed a smart enough peer to guide him, and that person was Shikamaru.

"No, Sandaimeta-"

"Nara's boy, now I am Hokage. I will not agree to this matter, you are not qualified to bear everything by yourself."

"I know, but if it goes on like this, Naruto, and the village..." "A Uchiha Sasuke, it's not enough to be afraid of!"

Tsunade's expression turned cold.

"But now it's not Sasuke's problem alone. I can be sure that the country of ghosts will definitely find an opportunity to intervene."

"Is that all you want to say?" "I want to ask Hokage-sama to agree." Shikamaru bent down and made a solemn request. "Looked up."

As Tsunade's words fell, Shikamaru raised his head again.

"You know? You are now more and more like a person in my eyes." Tsunade's tone softened and he let out a long breath.

"Like a person?" "Shimura Danzo."

As soon as the name came out, Shikamaru's expression froze, and he fell silent.

Tsuna

She stared into Shikamaru's eyes, where she saw a deep darkness. ?

"Hey, Shikamaru, this way!"

In the meatball shop open on the side of the road, there was a loud yo-heh from Ino, causing Shikamaru, who was about to go home, to stop and look inside the meatball shop.

He saw Ino beckoning to him, and Dingji seemed to be there too.

Shikamaru thought for a while, then turned around and walked into the meatball shop, heading towards the table where Ino and Choji were. When I got here, I found that besides Ino and Dingji, there were two people sitting here.

It's Sai and Honoko from the seventh class.

After lingering on Sakai's face for a moment, Shikamaru asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"I happened to meet you on the road, so we came in for dinner together. By the way, Shikamaru, you are still hanging out so late, is it because you are busy with the ninja exam?"

Ino asked the first question, and patted the vacant seat next to him, and let Shikamaru sit down. Shikamaru didn't refuse, and sat down directly.

"Yeah, although the exam hasn't started yet, the burden on me is not light at all. I've been exhausted for a while now."

"You started complaining after only a few days. As expected of you, Shikamaru." Ino complained.

The preparations for the Chunin exam hadn't even started for a few days, so she was exhausted and left her speechless.

"Well, although it's only a few days, the workload is really too much, and this time it's a joint exam, there's more busy content than usual."

Shikamaru explained, then picked up a bunch of three-color **** and ate it.

He has been busy until now, and he didn't even eat dinner. It happened here to solve it, and there was no need to go home to eat some leftovers.

"Speaking of which, did you really meet Sasuke on this mission?"

Ino also picked up the **** and ate it, her eyes fell on Sai and Huo Yezi and asked about it.

"Yes, Ino-senpai, but I didn't meet directly. At that time, Sai and I were stopped by people from the land of ghosts."

Huo Yezi thought back and said.

Sakai smiled without saying a word, just eating the **** quietly, as if the failure of the previous mission did not cause too many waves in his heart.

"Sasuke, there should be no way to come back."

Ino's tone became sad and decadent, and he didn't even have the desire to eat meatballs. "Isn't that kind of thing obvious? He is already Konoha's enemy." Shikamaru said calmly.

"That's why I feel distressed."

Ino scratched his hair, feeling that his mind was a mess, unable to think. "Ino, you really miss Sasuke."

Ding Ji smiled.

"I want you to mind your own business. Compared with me, you should think more about yourself, eat so much, and be careful not to find a girlfriend."

Ino glared at Dingji fiercely.

"This kind of thing is just fine. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Dad said that plump men are more attractive." Ding Ci went down one ball at a time, eating and drinking endlessly.

Ino's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Soon, the meal was over, and Ino took the initiative to pay the bill. Everyone chatted for a while at the door of the meatball shop and went home. "Sai."

"What's up?"

Sakai found that Shikamaru did not leave, but followed him, which made Sai very curious and didn't know why the other party followed him.

Although the other party is very familiar with Naruto, the relationship between himself and the other party is actually not familiar.

Shikamaru hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, you are Shimura Danzo's subordinate."

Sai stared at Shikamaru, but did not speak. "I have something I want to ask you to help with." "Something?"

The smile on Sai's face disappeared, and there was a scrutiny in his eyes. "I want to see Shimura Danzo, so I need your referral."
