Naruto's Endless Pretense

The spiritual body on Tayuya's body is a jutsu performed by pure spiritual energy.It can swallow the body's energy to achieve balance, but it cannot "eat" chakra directly like Samehada.So Mitsuki's blade wrapped in wind chakra cut Tayuya's body like tofu.

"I used the second sword style, but I threw away the long sword. Do you know why?"

Guangyi kicked away Xiang Rin who was trying to come up for rescue, and walked up to Tayuya holding a short sword.Breathing heavily, it seemed that he was very exhausted from the previous confrontation.

"Among all the ninjutsu, the one I'm best at is Wind Release, which doesn't use seals very much. It's very effective when combined with sword skills. But maybe you haven't noticed, but I basically used it when I cut down your psychic beast before. Short sword. It’s not that I don’t know how to use a long sword, but the only short sword I have is a chakra blade, which can fully display my strength.”

"Materials that can conduct chakra well are too rare. A small character like me can only get such a short sword by working hard. I really envy you, Sasuke-sama, for being able to use that level of sword from the very beginning." Ninja sword."

Although he was speaking words of envy calmly, Guangyi's expression looked very scary, and his eyes were filled with some obscure and dark emotions.That strong hostility completely awakened Tayuya's consciousness, which had been drifting due to serious injuries.

"To be defeated so easily."

Tayuya felt very unwilling, the victory or defeat was decided too quickly.She still had many methods that she had not used, not even using the complete curse seal state [-], but Guangyi's full-strength sword directly made her lose the ability to fight back, and she could only let others slaughter her at this moment.

"I'm very reluctant. This is a battle between ninjas. A careless decision may determine a person's life or death."

Guangyi said as he raised the chakra short knife in his hand, and the spiral wind-attribute chakra was wrapped around it, making a buzzing sound.

"Don't blame me, this is the cruelty of the ninja world. If you want to blame, blame your Sasuke-sama for letting you go to the battlefield without teaching him well."

Maybe the genjutsu wasn't strong enough, maybe he was considering that Shikamaru was nearby, or maybe he was just negligent and didn't notice it. The enchantment of the genjutsu didn't activate, and Mitsuki's sword stabbed straight down.

"Hey, is this the end of the game? You're dying like a fool in a place like this for no reason. You haven't given your strength to Sasuke-sama yet."

Looking at the dagger stabbing her chest, Tayuya muttered feebly.Guangyi's intensive wind blades had severed the main muscles of her limbs, and there was no way to dodge this ordinary attack.

Unlike Sakon's almost fanatical admiration, Tayuya didn't want to prove herself. Her feelings for Sasuke were more of recognition and gratitude.This was the attitude Sasuke had ever since he recognized her and rescued her from Kakuzu with serious injuries.

Serious but indifferent, as long as he can stand behind Sasuke and dedicate his strength and even his life when needed, this is the spirit of a servant.This life was given by Sasuke, so it is only natural that he should give it up.

This is what she has always told herself and adhered to.

Tayuya was killed from countless orphans to join Orochimaru. Death is something that can be treated calmly.But now she felt fear.

Standing quietly at the back and giving up one's life when needed are all lies.He didn't want to die at all. As long as he could still stay by Sasuke's side, he seemed to be like this forever.Even if you can only watch him from a distance in the end.

Death is such a ruthless and affectionate thing. Its moment can make people recognize their own nature and understand their own desires.Therefore, throughout the ages, there will be a large number of sages pursuing seemingly absurd nihilism.

"I really hope you can save me again."

As death approaches, Tayuya finally understands what she wants, but unfortunately there is not much time left for her.The blue sky is cloudless with flowing clouds. The memory of summer, which is like spring in the harsh winter, somehow reappears in front of Tayuya's eyes.

As if traveling from memory, Sasuke's figure appeared.

"If this is an irresistible fate, then I want to live for you...can you? Let me always stay by your side."

After getting information about Itachi from Kisame, Sasuke and Kakashi split into two groups.Kakashi took Kisame back to inform Tsunade, requesting supervision of the Chuunin Examination room, and directly terminating the exam if necessary.

Although if the Chunin Exams were terminated like this, it would mean that the Chunin Exams had failed twice in a row, which would be a huge loss to the reputation of Konoha and Suna Ninja.But if we leave it alone, the new forces in the two villages and the small allied countries may suffer a serious blow.

Especially in Konoha, Itachi was thinking about Sasuke's companions.Those people are all the elites of Konoha's new generation.

As for Sasuke, he directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to move to the examination room to chase Itachi.But when Sasuke teleported to Tayuya, he found that Tayuya had fallen to the ground covered in blood.But Guangyi, who had greeted him cordially in the hospital before, actually raised a knife with a murderous look on his face and wanted to stab Tayuya.

In desperation, Sasuke directly held Mitsuki's chakra dagger entwined with wind attribute chakra with his hand. Drops of blood fell along the palm marks into Tayuya's eyes that were gradually losing focus.

"You are serious about your murderous intent. How dare you attack my companions!"

Under the cold air, the chakra dagger in Guangyi's hand formed a thick layer of ice.The ice spread quickly and froze Guangyi's right hand holding the knife.Like the sound of gold and stone clashing, Sasuke forcefully broke the chakra dagger into two pieces and stabbed Guangyi's chest with his backhand.

"The situation is very bad, this injury."

Kicking away Mitsuki who was pierced through the chest before he could figure out the situation, Sasuke quickly relied on the curse seal to enter sage mode.Green chakra, symbolizing vitality, spread from the palm of his hand and enveloped Tayuya's entire body.

Sasuke was secretly shocked when he saw Tayuya's injury.Except for the fatal knife that cut across the abdomen and cut open the internal organs, there were countless wounds of various sizes all over his body.There were even some wounds on the legs that hurt the bones.

This horrific scene ignited an endless desire to kill Mitsuki in Sasuke's heart.But he can't take care of that guy now. Not only Tayuya around him is in urgent need of his own treatment.

"I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly, Sasuke. That girl was seriously injured. Is she one of your subordinates?"

Itachi stood not far away, with Sakon, Neji and Shikamaru standing motionless in front of him.The two companions of Xianglin and Guangyi all fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"You have a chance to stop it, right?" Sasuke asked, clenching his fists.

"That girl has nothing to do with me. And once you have a companion, your strength will weaken."

Itachi said after a moment of silence.

"I think you understand this now."
