Senior Brother of Konoha

The art of soul transfer consumes the power of a normal person's soul. No matter how carefully he maintains it, he will eventually lose his mind because the soul is completely consumed, and become a monster that only relies on bloodthirsty instinct to attack others.

This is the current state of Hirabayashi Keiji.

Even if he was a very powerful master decades ago, after so many years of consumption, he can no longer hold on.

Before he could explain the whole story to Naruto and others, he had already fallen into a state of madness.

But after all, he is a master. Even if he is possessed by Gang Yahan, his skills are extremely high. Every attack is very methodical, no different from human physical arts masters.

On Naruto's side, Kakashi prohibited Yuhi Kurenai from taking action in the name of training a few people, and only allowed 6 Naruto people to take action against Hirabayashi Keiji who was possessed by Ganggao.

The space of the stone chamber was too small, and half of it was taken up by statues and wells, so it was not enough to serve as a battlefield for six people and a steel tooth.

After a moment of confusion, Naruto and Sasuke took the initiative to pick up Gangya and let the other four people rest.

Because of their previous fighting cooperation experience on the Naihe Bridge, the two of them cooperated tacitly. Sasuke mainly attacked Naruto's defense, and he and Gangya fought evenly.

Probably because he regained his consciousness for a moment and knew that he was invincible, Hirabayashi Kai chose to escape. He controlled Gangya's embarrassed body and jumped into the well located in the middle of the stone room.

Kakashi immediately stopped the two men's impulse to pursue, and Naruto stopped in time, but the unruly Sasuke did not pay attention to Kakashi's order at all, and jumped into the well without hesitation and continued to pursue Gangya.

Several people were once again implicated by Sasuke and were forced to choose to jump into the unknown waterscape to protect Sasuke.

After going down to the well, several people were surprised to find that the well was not too deep, only reaching their chests, and there was a secret passage under the well in the direction of the inside.

Several people continued to pursue along the secret passage, but no sign of Sasuke was found.

After walking for about half an hour, a few people came to a very wide underground cave, and then found a total of three forked roads in the cave.

Since the situation was unclear, they decided to stop and discuss things temporarily.

"Hinata Hinata, can you see Sasuke and that steel tooth?"

Kakashi asked.

Hinata Hinata tried to use her Byakugan to observe the forked road ahead, but to no avail. She shook her head and replied: "No, Brother Kakashi, this cave seems to be protected by some formation. My Byakugan cannot penetrate the cave. Stone wall.”

Kakashi looked at Inuzuka Kiba, "What about you?"

Inuzuka Kiba also shook his head, "We have been walking in the water. Akamaru can't smell Sasuke's scent, nor can he hear it. There is no trace of him at all."

Before Kakashi could ask, Aburame Shino answered proactively: "The environment here is too complicated, and my insect control technique didn't even detect it."

Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai looked at each other and sighed helplessly: "Sasuke is so reckless. He even risked his own life in order to pursue the True Water Orb."

Naruto complained in his mind, not only did he not care about his own life, he didn't even consider whether his companions would be in danger.

In fact, Ramen had told him that Sasuke was pursuing the branch on the left far away, but he would not tell Kakashi and others.

One is because there is no way to explain why he knows, and the second reason is related to his personal selfishness.

Since Hirabayashi Keiji once said before that he discovered the traces of the True Water Orb after jumping into a well, then it would be expected that the True Water Orb would also be at the end of Gangya's final escape route.

As long as Gang Yahan's escape route can be found, the possibility of finally getting the real water to save it will be very high.

Furthermore, in addition to the True Water Orb, he is also interested in the Soul Sacrifice Orb that contains Hirabayashi Keishi's huge true essence.

If he can get these two treasures at the same time, he will make great progress in practice and will soon surpass Inuzuka Kiba and others.

Of course, it is not easy to get these two treasures. The first difficulty to be overcome is Uchiha Sasuke.

Because Sasuke's whole family was wiped out, he turned into a madman who pursues power and doesn't care about other people's thoughts at all.

The purpose of his pursuit of Gang Ya Ao this time must also be for the True Water Orb and the Soul-Residing Spirit Orb. If he discovers them first, it is unlikely that he can snatch them back with his current strength.

The second difficulty is the steel tooth. With my current strength, it would be better to deal with it together with Sasuke. Fighting alone would probably be very dangerous.

"Or, bring Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame"

That's what Naruto thought, and Kakashi got his wish when he assigned the teams.

Kakashi took Haruno Sakura's group to take the rightmost route, Yuhi Kurenai took Hinata Hinata's group to take the middle route, and Naruto, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino were left to take the leftmost branch.

The seven people agreed that no matter whether they catch up with Sasuke or not, they must return to this cave within half an hour at most.

But just as they were preparing to set off, Yuhi Hong suddenly raised objections, "The fork on the far left looks relatively narrow and is not suitable for three people to pursue.

Moreover, Sasuke may not take that road, so why not let Inuzuka Kiba follow me, Aburame Shino follow you, and let Naruto take that side road alone to explore and come back.

What do you think of my plan, Kakashi?"

Naruto's face suddenly turned cold when he heard Yuhi Kurenai say this.

Kakashi's face looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything and acquiesced to the plan proposed by Yuhi Kurenai.

Naruto gave a few people a cold look, said nothing, and took the initiative to walk to the leftmost fork in the road.

He knew in his heart that Yuhi Hong's arrangement was indeed cruel and hurtful, but it was also the best plan.

Inuzuka Kiba is the heir to this generation of Konoha's famous dog clan, and Aburame Shino is also the heir to the Aburame clan. No matter who has problems with either of them, it will be a major blow to Konoha, and it will seriously affect the weight of the group. and the Aburame clan's loyalty to Konoha.

Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai were unable to bear such a heavy responsibility, so they could only choose to take Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino with them to protect them at all times.

As for Naruto, he is just an unknown person with a signed background. Even if he died here, no one would hold the two of them accountable.

Uchiha Sasuke is similar. Although he is more important than Naruto, he is not as good as the other four people.

Therefore, if they were allowed to choose, the first one to be sacrificed would be Naruto, the second one would be Sasuke, and the others cannot be sacrificed.
