"what--?"

Saaki Aoga came to the flower shop. Before he could enter the flower shop, Ino's incredible cry reached the door.

"There's nothing we can do about it. All the upper and middle ninjas in the village are busy, so Hokage-sama asked Shikamaru to lead the team. He got up early and left."

"What a nonsense!" Ino waved his hand and wanted to hit the table with his fist, but found something wrong and slapped his thigh hard.

"Ino, this is Hokage-sama's decision, how can you say that!"

Ino grimaced helplessly in the face of her mother's scolding. It was not until Saaki Aoga came in with his usual smile to help her out and sent her mother upstairs to rest that her expression softened.

"Don't you know the plot? Why is the reaction so big?" Saaki Aoga turned to ask Ino.

Ino casually picked up a daffodil, touched the petals and sighed quietly: "I thought this was outrageous. The sound ninja, who even the jounin could not handle, asked a chuunin to lead the genin to intercept them. If they were not important roles, He’s long dead.”

Sasaki Aoga said: "Objectively speaking, this is just to promote the plot, but since we are all in this world, we should look at it more rationally - that is, Konoha is indeed very short of manpower right now."

He is really tolerant of others.

"..." Ino looked up at him, wanting to say something. At this moment, Sakura and Xiao Li walked into the flower shop.

"Ino..." Sakura's eyes were red, looking at her chatting with Saaki Aoga, she only called out her name.

Ino sighed silently and brought two stools, "I know everything. My mother just told me, you sit down first, Sakura and Li."

Saaki Aoga stood motionless with his arms folded, while Ino pushed him, "Go get some water!"

"understood."

……

"Now we can only wait for Shikamaru and the others to come back." Ino sat on the chair, holding her chin in her hands.

"I'm very worried... Sasuke is obviously different from before. I'm afraid that if he insists on his own way, it will be irreversible by then." Sakura said worriedly.

Ino and Sagi looked at each other.

Both of them knew that Sasuke would never come back from this trip. Not only that, everyone in the recovery team was injured to varying degrees. Naruto was defeated by Sasuke - this result was not a good result.

Until now, I can only say some beautiful words to comfort her.

Saaki Aoga distributed the cups full of water to Xiao Li and Sakura. He said: "As long as they don't leave the Konoha border, there is a high chance that they can be recovered."

Sakura tried her best to smile at him.

"Thank you."

"..."

Xiao Li looked at Xiao Sakura and then at his legs.

If he can do something neat, then he can also contribute, but now...

"Don't think too much, Xiao Li, you should take good care of your illness now."

Ino saw what he meant and said softly.

Sakura picked up the handkerchief she had been holding tightly in her hand and wiped it on her face.

"This handkerchief..."

"What's wrong? Qinghe?" Ino asked.

"What a coincidence, this colorful handkerchief..." Saaki Aoga stared at Sakura's handkerchief and said, "I also bought one for Yuki Yu, exactly the same."

"no……"

Sakura looked at the handkerchief and said slowly: "This belongs to Yukiyu."

"She gave it to me before she left."

"what?!"

The faces of Saaki Aoga and Ino changed color instantly.

-

"Wait a minute, Naruto." The snow friend stopped on the way.

"What's wrong, Yuki Yu?" Naruto also stopped following her words and looked back at Yuki Yu curiously.

"I..." Yukiyu felt a little bit embarrassed to say, "Chouji, Neji, Kiba... all stayed here so that we could chase Sasuke faster. Facing Tayuya, now Shikamaru stayed behind. ...There is also Kimimaro ahead with a very dangerous aura... There is no way one person can defeat him, and neither can two people."

She was really, really worried about them.

Although every time he tried to stop the enemy alone, someone always stepped forward, but no one ever caught up with their team.

"I would even think that they have...?"

"Impossible!" Naruto interrupted her thoughts, "Absolutely impossible, they will definitely win!"

But she planned to go back and help Shikamaru.

"I'm afraid Shikamaru doesn't have much chakra. Facing Tayuya who has a curse seal, he might be at a disadvantage."

Moreover, she also had something she wanted to find out.

Saying this, Naruto immediately understood.

Support your teammates. He understands very well.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely not say anything and fully agree with his teammates to go back.

but.

Naruto felt a subtle uneasiness in his heart at this time.

What he said was strange.

"Xueyou, you...are not with me anymore, are you?"

Naruto said as he stood on the branch in front.

"Shikamaru and I will find you after we deal with Tayuya." Yukiyo said briefly. Before Naruto could reply, she got up and hurried back.

----

Dodging the shuriken flying towards her, Yukito jumped backwards. When she stopped firmly on the branch, she turned her head to look at Shikamaru who was preparing to feint attack in the distance.

Shikamaru saw her figure and asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"

"There are some reasons. Because I saw her the night Sasuke left." Yukiyu said with a smile.

"……what?"

"Ha, the bug is back. I thought you wouldn't fight me."

Yukiyo stared at Tayuya, and Tayuya continued: "Are you trying to atone for yourself for letting him go?"

"Let go?" Upon hearing this word, Shikamaru frowned and asked in confusion.

"Although I'm a little reluctant to admit it, on the night of my defection, for some reason I went to find Sasuke and met these sound ninjas."

"That is to say..." Shikamaru, who understood, said in surprise: "You had expected Sasuke to leave? Or, you watched him leave?"

"Yes, that's right." Yukiyo's expression was a little awkward, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she turned her head to Tayuya and said without any emotion, "Of course I will fight you, I will." Fight you."

She took out her short sword, "Because no matter what, I have a reason for Konoha to send you to fight."

For a moment, her eyes burst into an astonishing red light.

"This is...?! Sharingan? How did you-"

"The answer is of course on the surface." Shikamaru hid the doubt in his heart and said, "This guy has the same bloodline as the guy you took away - Uchiha Sasuke."

Yukiyu's Sharingan made Tayuya recall what Kabuto, who had gone through the Death Forest exam with Team 7 before departure, said to her.

"No wonder that guy Kabuto said that."

"Although you are very strong, there is a child beside Sasuke who may cause you some trouble." 』

"That person - could it be you?" Tayuya murmured to himself.

But so what? The genius Uchiha Sasuke has no chance of winning against one of the four sound ninjas who possess the cursed seal.

Although she had spent a lot of chakra dealing with the Jonin of Konoha before, she was still a hundred times stronger than the ninjas in these greenhouses.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time to defeat these two guys.

Thinking of this, Tayuya could not help but become more energetic. She bit her finger, slapped her palm on the ground, and shouted: "Psychic art!"

In an instant, three giants appeared out of thin air.

Staring at the three mountain-like giants, a sense of oppression arose between the two snow friends Shikamaru.

"This is troublesome..."

"Yeah... Or should we just become a cultivator?" Xueyou quickly looked for cover and laughed, her hair flying in the air, "Anyway, you will always encounter enemies of this level, right?

A giant hand came towards them.

"Are you just trying to comfort yourself?" Shikamaru said sarcastically while avoiding him.

By the way, doesn’t this guy have any sense of urgency?

"Don't say that." Xueyou said loudly and bluntly across his giant hand, "After all, you have seen the situation. The status quo cannot be changed. The only thing that can be changed is your own heart!"

"You really have a good attitude."

"You should cheer up!"

Tayuya picked up the flute and brought it to her lips, "You two still have time to chat. Don't underestimate me, you bastards!"

"Ah, troublesome girl is angry." Shikamaru stepped aside and looked at Tayuya behind the three giants.

The giant's hand struck at Shikamaru, followed by Yukiyo's chakra lines.

"come over!"

Shikamaru, who was dragged to his snow friend, said: "Continuing to avoid like this is not an option."

Yukiyo's eyes were fixed on Tayuya's flute, "Yes, after all, there are three giants, but we only have two."

"This guy relies on the sound of the flute to control the giant, right? I remember you used the flute before. Are you the same type of ninja as her?" Shikamaru asked.

"Relying on a flute to control three giants? I don't practice enough to do it." Xue Yougan laughed, "And my flute was broken in two, so I can't use the sound to seize the soul."

"That move of yours is called Shi Yin Soul Seizing?"

"Yes, because the illusions cast with the flute are essentially controlled by musical notes, that's why I named it that way. However, since that guy can control three giants, I guess it's just a matter of using different musical notes."

"I see." Shikamaru touched his chin with his hand. He kept thinking about something in his mind. The giant foot controlled by Tayuya fell, and Yukiyo dragged Shikamaru away from the place again.

"What did you think of?"

"Ah, I have some clues."

"By the way, trouble girl?"

"It goes without saying that you know who it is, right? Apart from you, she is the only woman here."

"Who is the troublesome girl, you bastard!"

While the giant was chasing Shikamaru, Yukiyu rushed towards Tayuya while throwing Senbon, but she turned her head to avoid them all.

"Where are you fighting?"

Another giant rushed towards Xue Yu. She sneered and formed a seal with her hands: "Fire Release - the art of the powerful fire dragon!"

She had almost learned the Uchiha clan's fire escape ninjutsu, and now she was pretty good at it.

As soon as the flames came out, the chakra lines that pulled Senbon were as if they were born from the flames, pulling the flames and surrounding Tayuya in all directions. The battlefield was located in the forest, which naturally caused raging fires.

Tayuya, who was surrounded by flames, showed no fear at all. She continued to play the flute: "Finale, Section 9 - Chaos in the Demon Realm."

A giant jumped back to her, broke through the chakra line, and took her away from the sea of ​​​​fire. Just when Xueyou was about to catch up, the other two giants raised their backs to the sky, opened their mouths sewn with silk threads, and two soul-like substances spurted out. And out.

"what is this?"

"Danger, get out of the way, snow friend!"

Shikamaru's voice came from behind. Yukiyo looked up and watched the two souls rushing towards her. She subconsciously released the fire escape again. As a result, the two substances were completely unblocked by the fire escape and passed through the fire escape.

"Varied--?"

"whispering sound."

Just a few steps away from the soul, his back was held by hands, and Shikamaru rushed over to take him away, sending smoke everywhere.

"How are you?" Hidden behind a bush, Shikamaru asked while observing the enemy's situation.

"I'm fine, thank you." Yukiyo felt herself break out in a cold sweat. She looked at Shikamaru covering his left arm. Under the Sharingan, no chakra could be seen.

She was shocked: "This monster can absorb human chakra."

"Well, yes, not only that, I can't cultivate any chakra in my left arm." Shikamaru frowned. He felt that his left arm could not use any strength.

"I remember there is a spot here"

Yukiyo took out Qianben, used his hand to find out the general location, and then inserted it into the acupuncture point on his left arm.

"You are this?"

"It'll be fine right now."

Yukiyo slowly input his chakra into his arm. As the unfamiliar chakra entered his body, Shikamaru felt his arm gradually gain strength.

"Okay." Xueyou pulled out Senbon, "If I practice longer, this situation might one day be able to be treated directly without Senbon's guidance."

"You" Shikamaru tried to move his left arm, and he could already flow chakra. He couldn't help but said, "You really can do all kinds of things."

The snow friend said proudly: "I know a lot."

"You two, don't run away, come out quickly, especially the Uchiha one."

Hearing her opponent calling her, Xueyou cheered up, hiding under the trees, her eyes were burning.

"Since you are a member of the Uchiha clan, you should stand on the same stand as Sasuke-sama. Your family was killed by the enemy, and you can't avenge it. Even if you are young, you don't have any power. When you grow up, Still staying in a greenhouse-like village, surviving day after day, don’t you want to gain the strength to take revenge at all? You’ve had enough of being controlled by others in battles, and it’s time to end it, right?”

"This guy really talks a lot."

Shikamaru half-crouched on the ground, and despite what he said, he looked at Yukitomo worriedly.

No, it's not just about being controlled by others in battle.

Ashamed to say it.

Her own life was still in the hands of others, and for the time being she had no choice but to obey.

Shikamaru noticed that the eyes of the person next to him were flickering, and he quickly took her arm: "Hey."

That night, in order to complete her mission, she killed three people who, like her, were desperately trying to survive.

Unforgettable.

But in the corridor of the hospital, the same thing happened when the guy stretched out his hand towards him when he saw that he was wearing a hospital gown.

Danzo looked into her eyes, appreciating.

Sasuke looked into her eyes and asked.

"Or maybe you let Sasuke-sama go just because you wanted him to be responsible for all the annihilation of the clan?"

Feeling the strength of Shikamaru's arm, Yukiyo was startled, then smiled and said: "I'm fine."

"I'm not angry because she said something about our clan, because I don't have any records in my mind about myself."

Regarding the Uchiha clan, she didn't feel any heavy about it. Ultimately, her home was not here, and no matter what she said, she would not be shaken by this matter.

Her face looked ugly, probably because she recalled bad things.

At that time, she was like a clown whose throat was strangled by fate. She was sad, ashamed and angry. She walked in the dark all night and shed tears for a long time.

However, when the night dissipated and day came, she met him sneaking out of the hospital.

It is true that she needs strength, not for revenge or for the recognition of others, but just for herself - she needs strength more than anyone else.

She was a little scared.

In Konoha, she learned more than her peers. Likewise, she had to be controlled by Danzo and kept monitoring Uchiha Sasuke for his sake. If she left Danzo and joined Orochimaru, she would be faced with handing over her body. The risk is that you might die faster.

She had been trying her best to avoid the question.

But if you keep avoiding it, you can’t find a solution.

Snow friend leaned forward and stood up.

"Snow friend! Don't go out, hey, you guy——"

"Are you willing to come out?" Tayuya looked at her snow friend, as if she had a chance to win, she let go of the hand that played the flute and said slowly.

"Ah."

"Give up Konoha. You are the same kind as us. I saw you last night. Your eyes hiding in the dark were exactly the same as ours. They were eyes that desperately longed for power. I am sure that the extent of your pursuit of power No less than Sasuke, you are more suitable for us here than Konoha."

Shikamaru watched Yukimo silently walk towards Tayuya.

Tayuya smiled slightly and extended his hand to Yukitomo.

"Snow friend, you can't believe what she says, don't go! Don't go there!"

"It's too late, Konoha boy, just watch her become your opponent!"

"Snow friend, Shimura snow friend! No - Uchiha snow friend!"

The snow friend stopped.

A drop of cold sweat fell on Shikamaru's forehead.

Xueyou suddenly said: "Do you think revenge is the wrong decision?"

""

These words were not named, so the two people present naturally assumed that they were speaking to themselves. Shikamaru was speechless, but Tayuya immediately gave the answer: "Of course not."

She said decisively: "It's just revenge, it's just the victim's revenge on the perpetrator. What's wrong with that?"

Shikamaru looked at Yukitomo.

Is revenge wrong? If you lose someone you cherish one day, maybe you will find ways to punish that person.

Yes, if there is no legal restriction, everyone will do it if they have revenge, but that is why limited boundaries must be used to restrain human beings. If there is no reasonable restraint, hatred will only continue endlessly.

But if hatred is to be stopped, who on the victim’s side should forgive?

What is lost cannot be recovered, so how should we vent our grief and anger?

Xueyou smiled and said, "So that's what you think."

She jumped up to the tree in front of her and looked at her outstretched hand.

"You must be tired of it a long time ago. A peaceful life and days of doing nothing. Staying in a place like this will only make you gradually weaker. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave Konoha as soon as possible."

The snow friend stretched out his hand.

Seeing that she was about to reach it, Shikamaru shouted after her: "Hey! Are you so easy to convince her? Are you going to betray Konoha, betray us, betray Naruto and become a traitor?"

"what."

Xueyou held her hand.

Tayuya smiled in triumph.

"Yes--"

The next second, a kunai pierced into Tayuya's body.

"Eh--?"

Tayuya was stunned and stared at the bloody hole in his abdomen.
