Hokage: Naruto, don't stay at home anymore

In an internal training area, Sasuke is training fire escape.

After the new round of training was completed, Sasuke turned to look at Orochimaru, doubts in his eyes.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Orochimaru be in the laboratory?

Why did you have the time to come to him today?Could it be that something happened?

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You should know about the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"I know, there has been a lot of commotion in the past few days, about the monstrous undead army, the domination of the ninja world, and so on. Why, are you interested in those?"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows and looked at Orochimaru. He always felt why Orochimaru was so weird today.

However, when he looked at Orochimaru's somewhat joking eyes, he felt that Orochimaru was coming for him.

"I'm not interested in those, but I believe you will be interested."

"I'm interested, what am I interested in?"

"Naruto is among the people who went to protect the miko of the Demon Country."

"Tch, what does this mean?"

Sasuke looked disdainful. He recognized Naruto's strength, so that was okay.

"I received news that the miko predicted that Naruto would die!"

As soon as Orochimaru said these words, Sasuke was stunned, but soon, Sasuke realized that this was just a prophecy, it was no big deal.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the witch's prophecy was correct and [-]% accurate!"

After Orochimaru said this, he left the training ground directly.

"Clap!"

The towel Sasuke was wiping sweat with fell to the ground, and his eyes became sharp.

The night continued to deepen, and not long after Sasuke left the range of the Sound Ninja Village, he was stopped by someone.

"Kabuto, what, are you going to stop me?"

Sasuke looked at Kabuto in front of him, the sword behind him was ready to be unsheathed, and his Sharingan began to rotate slowly.

After these years of getting along, he knew that this guy was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so don't be fooled by his harmless appearance.

"Sasuke-kun, I just want to remind you."

Sasuke frowned when he heard this, "What? You'd better say it quickly!"

"Well, you are going in the wrong direction. The direction of the Ghost Country is in the north. However, I feel that you can go to the Swamp Country, because Naruto and the others are aiming for the Swamp Country."

After Kabuto finished speaking, he handed Sasuke a map.

"..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. Originally, he and Orochimaru were looking forward to Sasuke's performance, but...

"I see!"

Sasuke immediately turned around and headed in one direction, which was really embarrassing.

……

The next day.

Naruto and others started to set off. Their next task was to protect Shion before heading to the shrine in the Land of Swamp.

But Sakura couldn't bear the rest of the journey.

After all, Ziyuan is a girl, and they are in a hurry, so someone has to carry Ziyuan on their back when they are on the road.

In this case, their speed will be increased several times.

Sakura was the only woman in their team, so the matter of carrying someone behind her fell on her.

Now, Ziyuan started to scream in various ways, saying that she was feeling uncomfortable this way and that.

In fact, this was not bad, and Sakura endured it for the sake of the mission.

However, Shion actually said that she had chest pain, and said that Sakura was at an airport and could not understand that feeling.

This time, Sakura was furious. This was a pain point for her.

Among the people in their group, especially the female ninjas they knew well, all had changed over the years, but she had not. It was very sad to think about it.

In the end, this guy actually mocked her, which was unbearable.

But before Sakura could take action, Neji was ready to strike first, ready to knock Shion unconscious.

He also saw the problem. Because of her status, Ziyuan had always been willful. If she continued like this, whether she could go to the Swamp Country would still be a problem.

"Who?"

Just when Neji was about to take action, Naruto's voice made everyone look warily at the woods behind them.

Naruto fired a few blank rounds directly into the woods behind him, and then, movement appeared.

Just when Naruto was about to fire a few more practice rounds, Ashoh walked out.

"Huh? Ashho? What are you doing here?"

Naruto also had a question mark on his face at this time, what is this person doing here?

"I want to follow up and protect Master Shion. At the same time, she also needs someone to take care of her."

"I don't need to be taken care of. I told you a long time ago that I don't need you to follow me. Don't you understand?"

Shion got off Sakura's back and looked at Ashoda seriously, with a ruthless look on her face.

Neji frowned when he saw this. He felt that there was something going on between the two of them before, and the most likely possibility was the prophecy.

Is it...

"go!"

Shion didn't say anything more, but lay on Sakura's back and told Naruto and others to leave quickly.

When Neji saw this, he became more sure of his guess, nodded to Sakura, and continued on his way.

Naruto came to Ashui and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, we're here!"

After saying that, Naruto also chased after him.

After seeing this, Ashui didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of determination.

Since Lord Shion has predicted it, it means that all this is fate, and this is his fate.

And he was just fulfilling his destiny.

Thinking of this, Ashui continued to chase after him.

Time flew by, and three days later, Naruto and the others were almost reaching the Land of Swamp.

Neji looked at the sky, then around, and asked everyone to rest first.

From now on, things may not be so easy.

"Have a rest for half a day and we'll be on our way at night!"

Neji used his Byakugan to observe and found that there were no enemies around, so he asked everyone to take a rest.

But everyone had just rested for a short time when Neji noticed something was wrong.

"Careful, underground!"

Just as Neji finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and then four ninjas appeared from it.

These four people are Kusuna and the others. The goal of the four of them is obvious, and that is Shion.

The four of them headed straight for the resource. As long as they killed it, everything would be solved.

When Sakura saw this, she immediately ran aside with Shion.

Xiao Li on the side used a Konoha whirlwind and kicked someone away.

As for Naruto, he fired a few blank rounds at the four of them, and then used the shadow clone technique to fight Setsuna and

Yitai started fighting.

The battle started instantly. Upon seeing this, Sakura took Shion away from the battlefield. She couldn't guarantee whether there were other people around.

You have to take Ziyuan away from the battlefield first, otherwise, you may be surrounded.

Kusuna saw this and immediately followed him. When Neji saw this, he wanted to stop him, but he was entangled by one of the four people.

In the woods, Sakura and Shion ran all the way. After running for a while, their front was blocked by Kusuna.

Seeing this, Sakura frowned and looked around, as if she was looking for something.

"Don't look, there are no reinforcements, but you still have to die."

Kusuna smiled and looked at Sakura, her eyes filled with amusement.

"Is there no one?"

"Then go to hell!"

"It's a blind fight!"
