Naruto no moon

()Chapter 24 Old bonds and new partners

"Sasuke, come back with me!"

Sasuke was silent for a moment, and then looked around nonchalantly, as if the strange rocks around him were more attractive than Naruto and his group: "No."

"Damn it!" Naruto gritted his teeth.

As if he had enough appreciation, Sasuke looked over coldly and said, "Naruto, isn't your dream to be Hokage? Instead of spending so much time looking for me, it would be better to practice harder."

Without any hesitation, Naruto said firmly: "If you can't even save a friend, you have no qualifications to be Hokage! You said so, Sasuke!"

"...Hmph." A dangerous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then there was a light sound of drawing a sword. In an instant, Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto, holding the Kusanagi sword high and cutting it down mercilessly:

"In that case, let me see your determination!"

"Danger!" Naruto reacted immediately, but before he had time to dodge, a sudden fatigue came over his body, making him unable to move at all. However, Saai, who was following him, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

superior.

Touya raised his eyebrows, took a few steps back away from the battlefield, and stood in front of Xiao Xi and Liuli.

Sure enough, Sasuke launched the Chidori style without mercy, knocking both Sai and Naruto away.

"Naruto, can you only talk big words if you have a mouth..." Sasuke waved the Kusanagi sword in his hand casually, with a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "With this kind of strength, you can't even save yourself.

!”

"Sasuke..." Naruto was half lying on the ground, his head bowed deeply. He looked embarrassed, but there was still an unknown aura emanating from his body, which shocked Touya.

Sasuke seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head. The six black magatama in his blood-red pupils were spinning at an unprecedented speed!

Next, both people's bodies were shocked, and then the ominous aura on Naruto's body quickly faded, and his body went limp and fell to the ground and passed out.

Yamato didn't notice the change just now. When he saw Naruto and Sai being knocked down, he couldn't help but took out his kunai and rushed forward.

Sasuke turned his head and glanced coldly. He had no way to be cruel to Naruto and Sakura. It didn't mean that he would also let go of Yamato, whom he met for the first time. Although Yamato was Naruto's captain, but... he was with him again.

What to do!

On the Kusanagi sword, an inconspicuous light of lightning wrapped around the blade, occasionally flickering.

Touya frowned, knowing that if this continued, Yamato would definitely suffer a big loss, and it would not be good for him to watch from the side all the time, so he simply dodged and came between the two people who were about to come into contact, and learned what Kakashi had done before.

, grabbed the wrists of the two men with one hand, twisted the body, forcibly pulled the two men up from the ground, and threw them to both sides with a forceful swing!

"That's enough! Stop it, everyone!"

Both of them released their strength in the air and landed on the ground, but they were still dragged back by the remaining inertia and staggered several steps before they stopped. They couldn't help but be shocked, and they once again had new expectations for the girl's strength.

You know, at the beginning, Sasuke and Naruto were only at the level of quasi-chuunin, so they could be separated so easily by Kakashi. However, these two people present now are not ordinary characters. When Touya grabbed their wrists, they were separated.

He started to struggle, but was still thrown out without any resistance...

"That's it for today, both sides have stopped. Yamato, take Naruto with you and retreat immediately." After looking around, the girl said coldly.

Yamato seemed to want to retort: ​​"But..."

"There's nothing good to do. Retreat immediately. Hokage-sama will take the blame and let me explain." Without hesitation, he interrupted Yamato's words and Touya said simply.

With a look of resentment on his face, Yamato stopped talking rather unwillingly, but he also knew that now was indeed not a good opportunity for a stalemate. After all, this was the enemy's base, and Orochimaru would appear without knowing when, so

The girl's decision was undoubtedly the right one.

"Senior Sister Xiaoye..." A pitiful voice came from behind, causing Touye to turn her head.

With a hesitant and sad look on her face, Sakura looked at Touya in bewilderment, and then at Sasuke: "I..."

The girl couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, but she still turned her head and said with determination: "I said, retreat!"

The tone was firm and unquestionable, and Sakura seemed to understand something. She closed her eyes in pain, and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye: "...Yes!"

Sasuke remained silent and silently watched everyone quickly retreat and pass by him. However, he did not reach out to stop him. He just looked quietly at the place where Sakura's tears fell. For a long time, he sighed deeply.

, and then slowly walked into the crypt.

…………………………………………Chidori-ryu!…………………………………………

Everyone jumped quickly in the woods, the atmosphere was very dull, everyone was silent, no one spoke.

After a while, Naruto, who was lying on Yamato's back, groaned slightly and finally woke up. Then, the first thing Naruto did when he regained his consciousness was to look around: "Sasuke! Sasuke!"

No one answered.

After being stunned for a while, Naruto finally reacted and lay down slumped: "I'm still... too weak..."

Tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, wetting Yamato's back.

"No matter how much you cry, Sasuke will never come back." A melancholy voice came from Sakura's mouth, and everyone was speechless.

Because she was running at the front, no one could see her expression: "I want to, too, and become stronger with you!"

Crystal water drops scattered all over the ground.

"There are still half a year." Sai said calmly, making Naruto look over in surprise: "Two people are not as good as three people... Besides, I am quite strong."

A pure smile appeared on his face. This time, his smile no longer made people feel hypocritical. It was very clean and transparent, making people... reassuring and trustworthy.

"..." Naruto lowered his head and said nothing. Then, he slowly wiped away the tears on his face and said calmly: "Really...Thanks then."

Sai nodded, hesitated, and then asked: "Naruto, in your heart, am I the one who can replace Sasuke?"

Without hesitation, Naruto replied: "No, you can't replace Sasuke."

Sai's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"You are not anyone's substitute, you are our equally important companion!"

"!!!" Looking at Naruto's bright smile again, Sai was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head: "...Hmm!"

Companion... I seem to understand a little bit... What do you think, brother?
