People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

By the time Sakura returned to the river, Naruto had already taken care of several fish, and the bloody water was floating down the river without any hesitation.

"Did you really catch it? So quickly?"

Sakura was a little stunned. After placing the dead branch in her arms on the ground, she walked towards Naruto.

"Well, I just caught a few." Naruto said without raising his head, "We don't have enough salt, so we can't store meat, so..."

"Naruto, you are so awesome." Sakura said.

"It's not that great, practice makes perfect." Naruto stood up, "Don't sleep too much tonight, there are still fish to bite."

"Night? Fish?"

Even though Sakura didn't quite understand the meaning of Naruto's words, she still felt goosebumps almost instinctively when she saw the blood floating in the river. Blood will attract more predators. What will happen after dark?

no one knows.

With a whoosh, Naruto reached out and released a small amount of melting energy into the pile of dry velvet grass, using the instantaneous high temperature to ignite the velvet grass with a whoosh.

The firelight dispelled Sakura's inner fear. She stood up and went to the river to get water. After moistening the towel, she put it on Sasuke's forehead. All that was left was to wait.

She looked at Naruto, who was stringing skewers with washed branches and then making a grill.

"Let me help."

Sakura stood up and took the branch that was pierced through the fish, and followed Naruto's example of carefully placing it on the fire to grill.

The firelight swayed on Sakura's dusty face, and her eyes were slightly absent-minded. She seemed to be thinking about what happened during the day, and her eyes showed fear and confusion.

After a long time, she lowered her head and asked.

"Naruto, why would Orochimaru attack Sasuke?"

"Who knows." Naruto replied casually, "Maybe Orochimaru has fallen in love with Sasuke, maybe he must have told you about strength or something like that?"

"Yes." Sakura nodded, "He did say that he told Sasuke that if Sasuke needs strength, he will go to him."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Naruto and Sakura were grilling fish next to each other and said casually, "That guy Sasuke cares so much about power, and all he thinks about is revenge. Maybe Orochimaru will really hit him."

."

"Ah? What should we do?" Sakura panicked, "Would Sasuke really do that?"

"I don't know, I have to ask him about this." Naruto turned the fish over to prevent it from being burnt. "Didn't he shout about revenge before? Hatred is such a thing, once

There is no solution if it breeds, and it will only drag people into the abyss step by step."

"unless......."

"Unless what?" Sakura asked.

"It's nothing." Naruto smiled, "Unless you die, the hatred will end."

What he actually wants to say is that unless Sasuke is also soul-pierced, he will be like him. What old dream has to do with him? Who bullies him now and assigns him a sword!

However, Naruto did not intend to interfere in Sasuke's journey of revenge, so he would mind his own business and live longer.

As for what the world will be like in the future, let’s talk about it later.

It was getting late, and the light in the forest was almost non-existent.

Beside the campfire, Naruto handed a grilled fish with salt to Sakura and said.

"Taste it."

"Thank you." Sakura had been hungry all day, so she took it from Naruto and took a bite, "It's delicious."

Sasuke was still unconscious, but his condition was much better. At least he was breathing evenly. Naruto glanced at Erzhu lying aside and thought to himself, this kid shouldn't be defeated by the curse seal, right?

Naruto and Sakura each ate two, leaving the remaining two for the unconscious Sasuke.

After eating and drinking, the two began to discuss their next plan.

"The Scroll of Heaven was snatched away by Orochimaru." Sakura said with some annoyance, "Now we have to defeat two teams to advance, but now Sasuke-kun is unconscious again."

"Well, don't worry." As he said that, Naruto took out two scrolls of heaven and earth from his arms and handed them to Sakura, "Here, I grabbed them."

"Ah?" Sakura was stunned, "Naruto, how did you get two scrolls by yourself?"

"On the way to find trouble for the sound ninja, I happened to meet a group of grass ninjas, and they happened to be holding the Scroll of Heaven." Naruto scratched his head and said, "Originally, I didn't want to take it with me, but I hesitated and took it.

Yes, it will come in handy now."

"That's great! Naruto!" Sakura was so excited that she hugged Naruto directly!

far away.

The Ino, Deer, and Butterfly trio were leaning on the tree and looking at the bonfire. Shikamaru curled his hands into the shape of a telescope and stared there, complaining.

"What are those guys doing, Naruto? If you dare to light a fire in the forest in the middle of the night, you will be stared at."

"That direction is towards the river, I guess. I probably lost my military food pills, so I plan to roast the game I got from the hunt, right?" Ino crossed his hands on his chest and said nonchalantly.

"Sasuke seems to be asleep?" Shikamaru said lazily, "Why is that guy Naruto being held by Sakura? Isn't that guy's popularity with girls too enviable?"

"What! Hug!" Ino suddenly lost his composure.

He looked toward the fire, but there was nothing there. Naruto and Sakura were talking next to the fire.

"Ino, what's wrong with you?" Shikamaru asked.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just curious." Ino said with a forced smile, "I remember that Sakura only likes Sasuke. How could she hug Naruto? You must be dazzled."

"That seems to make sense." Shikamaru scratched his head, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

"But they will cause problems like that. If they keep lighting the bonfire, they will attract other teams." Choji narrowed his eyes and interjected, "Should we remind them?"

"It's too late." Shikamaru suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Hide quickly, someone is coming!"

The trio's expressions suddenly hardened, and they hid in a tacit agreement.

By the river, the bonfire was almost extinguished.

Sakura sat aside, looking extremely nervous. But she didn't make a sound, and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep as Naruto said.

Not long after, three figures appeared in the river.

Almost silently, the three Kirigakure slowly moved towards the bonfire by the river.

Naruto was still pulling at the fire with a stick, as if he was completely unaware of the movement around him. This reassured the Kirigakure trio. They waved their hands, and the three of them suddenly launched an attack.

At the critical moment, Naruto's figure beside the fire disappeared instantly.

"How could it be!" the Kirigakure ninja secretly thought, and suddenly realized that this was a trap.

But it was too late to escape. Naruto's figure suddenly appeared behind a person, and a dazzling blue light flashed. A large ball of thunder and lightning was forcefully stuffed into the body of a Kirigakure ninja by Naruto, and screams suddenly sounded.

, startling the birds in the night forest.
