Senior Brother of Konoha

Sasuke refused to give up on the victory he was about to gain, and ignored Aburame Shino's call and chased after him without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Aburame Shino turned around and asked Kakashi as soon as possible: "Brother Kakashi, what should we do?"

"This is your trial. You decide and are responsible for all actions. I only help you, but I will not interfere with you."

Kakashi shook his head when he spoke, his tone was very helpless.

"Understood, Brother Kakashi." Aburame Shino nodded calmly, turned to look at Sasuke's leaving figure, "Although Sasuke's behavior is too reckless, he is our comrade after all, and we cannot abandon him like this. .”

He waved his right hand forward forcefully and said loudly: "Let's go, let's catch up with Sasuke and bring him back."

“It’s really ridiculous”

Naruto muttered something in a low voice, checked his luggage again, and followed up behind Aburame Shino and others.

He had nothing to say to Sasuke.

Whether it was recklessness, aggressiveness, or simply Sasuke's willfulness, these actually had nothing to do with him.

The so-called classmates, the so-called comrades-in-arms, these are just names. He has never experienced the friendship from Sasuke or anyone else.

Therefore, let alone Sasuke, he did not want to save even people like Aburame Shino, Hinata Hinata, Haruno Sakura, and Inuzuka Kiba.

But the problem now is very real. He does not regard these people as one of his own, but these people regard him as one of them very naturally. They will not care about what he thinks in his heart and will definitely force him to sacrifice for the so-called friendship. .

He wanted to go alone, and his plan to quickly enter the ruins in the middle of the lake to get the True Water Orb would never be allowed.

And so, he actually had no choice but to follow these people and take unnecessary and avoidable risks.

.

.

There are no roads in the forest, so you can only jump on the tree canopy. Not to mention the danger, the key point is that it is easy to lose your way.

Naruto was far behind the slowest Hinata, grumbling and trying to memorize the nearby terrain.

But unfortunately, his efforts failed.

This forest is too big. From the canopy, the front, back, left and right are almost exactly the same. It is difficult to achieve this goal through simple memorization.

"Damn Sasuke, leave the immortal ruins on the island in the middle of the lake alone and insist on competing with a few wolves. Is your brain broken?"

Naruto complained bitterly.

"Naruto, your mentality is a bit abnormal."

The one who spoke was Ramen, who poked his head out of Naruto's breast pocket and looked at Naruto with some worry.

"Why do you say that"

Naruto was slightly surprised. He didn't think there was anything abnormal about him being like this now. Everything was just the same as before.

"Ever since you entered the ruins of the Land of Waves, your mentality has been a bit abnormal. You are too impatient and eager for success." Ramen analyzed it for Naruto seriously. "Although the True Water Orb is indeed a heaven-level magic weapon, it is extremely valuable, and It will be of great use to you, but you don’t have to do this.”

Naruto's steps did not stop, but his mind calmed down, and he said thoughtfully: "Ramen, you are right, the things I have done in recent times are indeed a bit inconsistent with my past temperament.

and"

He looked at Sasuke, who was jumping forward at the front, and then looked back at Kakashi, who was listless behind him, and was surprised to find that he seemed to be the only one with unusual behavior patterns.

"Sasuke's behavior is also wrong. Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, Hinata, everyone seems to have changed their temper. What is the reason and what happened?"

"I don't know about this. You have to figure it out on your own. I just want to remind you, don't lead me into a trap. Remember, we are still very weak now and cannot withstand the torment, ah Ah"

Ramen let out a long yawn and slipped back into Naruto's pocket.

Naruto knew something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong. He could only write it down for the time being and concentrate on his way.

Just like Ramen said, they are still very weak now and have to be careful.

.

.

After marching for about half a day, seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Aburame Shino, in the name of the team leader, forced Sasuke to stop tracking.

This forest is not safe. If we don't set up camp now, we will be in a lot of trouble late at night.

But it was obvious that Sasuke was not willing to stop there. He still wanted to continue tracking, no matter what.

Aburame Shino stood firmly in front of Sasuke, determined not to allow Sasuke to leave again.

Inuzuka Kiba and others stood on the side of Aburame Shino, Kakashi looked listlessly at the joke, and Yuhi Kurenai looked distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.

Naruto felt that he might be the only normal person here, but faced with this situation, he could not think of any solution. He could only think carefully, observe carefully, and then pay attention to protecting himself.

.

It was an accident that broke the stalemate of a group of people. No, it was not an accident, but an obvious premeditation.

"Everyone from Konoha Gate, welcome to my home."

A man's voice suddenly sounded among the wolves. Even the listless Kakashi had to brace himself a hundred times and look at the silver-backed demon wolf that made the human voice. Then, he suddenly screamed, "Steel "Teeth bad"

The one he called Gangya Agri was a silver-backed demon wolf with shorter forelimbs. He noticed the abnormal movements while running before, but in the end he ignored it because of certain things. .

After being reminded by Kakashi, Aburame Shino and others also noticed the abnormality of Gangya, but because they had never seen such a beast, they seemed a little confused.

Inuzuka Kiba has more knowledge in this area, but after all, he is young and cannot know everything. At this time, his face is also very confused, and it is obvious that he has never heard of the name Steel Kiba.

"As expected of a multi-faceted flag tree, even this pet beast of mine can recognize it."

Gangya Agri made a sound again, but from the fact that it did not open its mouth, it was obvious that it was not speaking, but someone was transmitting the sound through a round bead tied around its neck.

Kakashi's face was more cautious than ever before, and he took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone, protecting Sasuke, Aburame Shino and others behind him.

"Who are you and why did you lead us to this place?"

He originally thought it was just an accident of encountering a spiritual beast, but he didn't expect that someone actually planned to lure them here, and even recognized him. How could this not make him deeply surprised and secretly vigilant?

"I don't have any ill intentions towards you, and I'm asking for help from you, so please don't worry." The man's voice paused for a moment, and then continued in a very seductive tone: "I won't let you help for free. I will use a heaven-level magic weapon as a reward afterwards."

Naruto felt something was wrong, and he didn't care to continue to keep a low profile. He loudly grabbed the topic and said, "What magic weapon?"

"How about the heavenly magic weapon, the True Water Orb?"

This answer made Naruto feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
