[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

But Naruto is not someone who would give up easily.

Even in the face of such a formidable opponent, he still pursued him without hesitation.

This body that was quite thin due to malnutrition in the past few years did not know how to explode such amazing power. It was clear that Kimimaro speeded up several times to try to shake him off, but he was still stuck behind him and gradually shortened the distance.

After doing this several times, Kimimaro finally lost his patience.

He found a suitable open pasture and put down the coffin bucket in his hand, intending to kill the disturbing insects in one fell swoop.

Naruto was not afraid.His beast-like intuition made him feel chills all over his body, but he gritted his teeth and used his best shadow clone tactic to take the initiative and completely block the opponent's way.

Kimimaro was surrounded, but he just tilted his head casually, slightly surprised.In the face of absolute strength, the human sea tactic has no effect at all, not to mention that he is a member of the Kaguya clan who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

If it was the opponent's strength that made him hesitate, it would be better to say that it was the anger in Naruto's eyes that made him hesitate.

It is life, it is fire.There was even a glimmer of faith that Kimimaro was so familiar with.

He corrected his attitude and decided to face this opponent squarely.Seriously, send him to death.

Bone spurs sprouted all over Kimimaro's body. The extremely high bone density made the sharp blade no less than a famous sword passed down from generation to generation, and every part of his body became weapons capable of killing people.

Naruto's shadow clones rushed forward one after another, occasionally avoiding the fists and kicks of the bone spurs, but failed to cause effective damage to Kimimaro. Instead, they were stabbed in the vital points by the opponent time and time again.

He couldn't do it. Naruto couldn't keep the other party with his own abilities.He must... borrow the chakra of the nine-tailed demon fox.

Just when Naruto was avoiding Kimimaro's attack and finding a brief opportunity to refine Chak, there was a loud bang, causing both sides of the fierce battle to look towards the source of the sound.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Sasuke, who forcibly broke through the seal, stood up slowly with his body propped up.

The pain that was originally covered by the seal suddenly poured into this body, and the texture that was torn apart by the remaining medicinal power caused blood to ooze all over his body.Fortunately, the power of the curse seal has been successfully activated, and the damaged internal organs are repaired with extremely fast body repair speed, transforming Sasuke into the state of curse seal [-].

"Sasuke...suke." Naruto's voice trembled unconsciously as he stared at the dark stains soaked in blood on the back of Sasuke's clothes and the gray-black skin in the exposed areas. .seven

This soft cry was like a switch that recalled his sanity. The abnormalities on Sasuke's body disappeared little by little, and even his long hair gradually shrunk to its original length.

Sasuke glanced at him half sideways, and then his eyes fell lightly on Kimimaro: "Why are you wasting your time here?"

After confronting him directly, Sasuke saw that Kimimaro was at the end of his strength, but the death energy lingering around him was firmly guarded by a gleam in his eyes, as if his body was driven by mental power.

Even so, the sense of threat revealed by the other party cannot be underestimated.Sasuke didn't know how long Kimimaro could hold out, but he was unwilling to let Naruto take risks and gamble on his opponent's limits.

Kimimaro was not annoyed when he saw Sasuke questioning him in such a arrogant manner. Instead, he calmly explained: "He is very troublesome."

"Naruto is my prey. In order to open the Mangekyou Sharingan, I must kill him with my own hands. Don't be too troublesome."

Sasuke knew that Orochimaru coveted the power of the Sharingan, and if there was a more powerful Mangekyo Sharingan in front of him, he would not let go of the opportunity.

Kimimaro was also stunned when he heard this, his eyes swept over Naruto, and he quickly made a decision.He took a step back and gave Sasuke control of the battlefield.

Sasuke finally turned around and faced Naruto.

"Sasuke?" Naruto was completely stunned.

Sasuke's performance just now completely broke his original understanding. No matter how many people reiterated during the pursuit that "Sasuke left with them voluntarily", Naruto did not want to believe it. However, Sasuke's current attitude did not allow him to make excuses anymore.

"You want to... kill me?" He hesitantly assembled the words he heard before, because they were too unbelievable, and his blank brain couldn't even react with surprise.

Sasuke was silent, with Naruto's unfamiliar cold face on his face.The black lines at the corners of his eyes have not completely dissipated, and the bloodless face outlines a ghostly and evil aura.

But Naruto's complete trust in Sasuke has almost become his instinct. How can the tacit understanding of getting along with him for many years be shaken by these few words.

Naruto immediately found a reasonable excuse for himself and became excited again: "Sasuke, are you confused by Orochimaru? I will definitely save you and take you back!"

"Hmph." Sasuke chuckled, with a mocking look on his face, "You really don't understand the situation at all, you are as stupid as ever."

Sasuke suddenly dodged and launched an attack, kicking Naruto away as he stood stupidly, and then grabbed his neck and pushed him to the ground.

The vegetation here is dense, and the clumps of wild grass are almost half a person tall.As long as Naruto is willing to cooperate, he can hide Naruto in the grass and trick Kimimaro into leaving.

However, just as Sasuke turned away his Sharingan and tried to cast a genjutsu on Naruto to explain the current situation, a gust of punch came and Sasuke had to move away to avoid it.

"Sasuke." Xiao Li's eyes were heavy and he spread his fists and feet as if looking at a traitor.

"Tsk, one after another, it's really endless." Sasuke turned around and called Kimimaro, "I'll leave this to you."

Kimimaro, who had been on guard all the time, stepped forward as he said, while Sasuke walked away.

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted urgently and followed immediately.

[Look for an opportunity and escape. ]

Sasuke "said" to Xiao Li in Kimimaro's blind spot, and then left the area without looking back.

Sasuke, who didn't know how far he ran and was sure that Kimimaro wouldn't be able to find him for a while, finally stopped and said to Naruto, "You shouldn't have come."

Naruto smiled because he saw the familiar Sasuke and quickly approached: "Sasuke, were you just pretending?"

Sasuke did not reply, but continued: "I did go to Orochimaru voluntarily, you go back."

The smile that just bloomed on Naruto's face froze: "Why? Orochimaru just uses you as a container! You obviously know it!"

"Naruto." Sasuke closed his eyes, knowing that the other party would never give up until he explained clearly, so he had no choice but to speak, "It is equally dangerous for me to stay in the village."

"There is also a dark force in the village, and they do not obey the Hokage's orders. They are the ones who destroyed the Uchiha clan." Sasuke knew that Naruto had never understood the darkness under these peace, but now he had to The covering curtain was pulled open in front of Naruto's eyes in advance.

"The Sandaime, Jiraiya and now the Fifth Generation are all forces that balance them. But with the death of the Sandaime, the balance has been broken. It is no longer possible for me to stay in the village as safely as before." Sasuke stretched out his hand to caress Naru. The cat's whiskers on the person's cheeks said, "With the power of the Nine-Tails, you are also in danger of being controlled by them, so remember to follow Jiraiya closely. Didn't you say before that Jiraiya would take you to travel together? That would be the best s Choice."

"How...how could..."

Naruto, who had never thought that there were such undercurrents in the village, couldn't answer. He tried to refute wanly, but Sasuke asked back: "You also saw these four people when Orochimaru attacked the village before. Even those ANBU were there." They are at a disadvantage, so why did the Godaime only send a few of you genin?"

"Because time is tight..."

"Then let you fight against an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat? And ask you to die?"

"No, that's not right." Naruto suddenly thought, "Grandma Tsunade doesn't know they are the people we are going to deal with."

"She and Orochimaru are both Sannin and were teammates in the same class. Do you think she doesn't know what kind of person Orochimaru is? What's more, they just faced each other some time ago. She doesn't know Orochimaru's desire for power. ? Does she not know how cautious Orochimaru is? No matter who Orochimaru sends, they cannot be easy to deal with."

Sasuke's repeated retorts made Naruto pale, but he still took a deep breath and shattered Naruto's last hope: "From the moment she got the news of my defection, she knew that I chose to go with Orochimaru. Yes. She didn’t send you to contain the people who took me away, but she sent you to contain me.”

"The temporary lack of other manpower is partly due to this, but it's not that there are too few capable people in the village, but that there are too few people who can be used by her. After several weighings, I sincerely want to persuade me to turn back, and it is possible to change The only people I care about are you." Sasuke looked into Naruto's eyes, "But Naruto, if there was still room for turning around, I would not choose to leave in the first place."

"The Fifth Generation seemed to have taken over the position of Hokage, but in her haste, she had no time to cultivate her own power. It is not known whether the manpower left by the Third Generation could be fully used by her. They can't even protect your safety with ease. It will allow you to follow Jiraiya and leave the village."

"You...have thought about it a long time ago." After a long silence, Naruto could only ask this dryly.

Sasuke nodded hesitantly.

"But when you go to Orochimaru's place, you are alone." Without friends or helpers, you can only walk alone in a dangerous environment.

"But only in this way can I find opportunities for growth in the cracks and get the truth."

Naruto lowered his head.

"Then...will you come back?" Naruto tightened his pockets and added, "After Granny Tsunade finds the bad guy, after I become stronger and can help you."

Sasuke didn't dare answer.

Naruto raised his head again and looked at Sasuke seriously: "You won't die before this."

"I won't die so easily."

"Then I...send you a blessing." Naruto reached out and took out a slender metal pendant from his pocket, "I couldn't sleep a little thinking about the necklace in the morning, and I saw this when I went to Tiantian's house to get the knife. .”

"The knife you use is made of the same material. Tiantian said it is his peripheral product or something." Naruto introduced with a grin, "If it is made into a necklace, I hope the person wearing it can break all obstacles and achieve their wishes. .”
