Naruto's Endless Pretense

"The next match is Konoha Aburame Shino vs Suna Ninja Temari. Players from both sides are asked to gather in the center of the field."

As fate would have it, Sakura and Temari met again in the Chunin Exam.This is actually something Temari secretly hopes for.

The conditions of the two are not equal.Although Sakura advanced to the second round, she was too exhausted in the duel with Xiang Rin, and even after receiving treatment, her strength was not restored to half of what she was when she was completely victorious.

However, unexpectedly, Sakura still suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of a ninja from Suna Ninja Village in the second round of the battle, because that ninja's previous opponent was Gaara and seemed to be very seriously injured.Now it's Temari's turn to appear, but Temari who barely makes a move is completely incomparable to Sakura.

The opponent is Konoha's Aburame Shino.Regarding the Aburame clan, Temari also knew a little bit from the village and Sasuke, but the information was very sparse.This Konoha insect user looks very mysterious just like their iconic sunglasses.

Shino was also in the same class who was praised by Sasuke. It is said that he is the only ninja who has never lost.Lack of intelligence and strong strength, this person will not be an easy opponent no matter how you think about it.

After doing as the Romans did and forming the seal of opposition, the two of them took a step back and faced each other.Shino's bugs are weird and unpredictable, but Temari, who possesses powerful wind escape, is not Shino's favorite opponent either.If things go wrong, the released bugs will be blown away by unknown AoE.

"What a headache. Let's test it out first."

Shino raised his hand but frowned and put it down again.

"what do you mean!"

Shino's tone became very serious, and at the same time, a large number of black clouds flew out from under his clothes under Temari's surprised gaze.

"I know your qualities, and I didn't expect to be able to defeat you easily. But if you deliberately let yourself go, that's not what I want. It would be an insult to the Konoha ninjas."

Temari didn't seem to notice when Shino made a move, and hurriedly picked up the three-star fan and unfolded it to its maximum.A hurricane that made people unable to see clearly blew away the dark clouds composed of insects. Even Shino himself was blown up by the irresistible wind and smashed against the wall behind him.

"Ahem, damn, are you really just careless?"

Using the insect clone to barely avoid being hit by the wind blade, Shino jumped off the wall and stood ready to regroup.But the erratic look in Temari's eyes clearly meant she was in a fugue again.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Temari looked up suddenly and seemed to see Sakura's serious face lying on the bed again.

[Sasuke has walked away. If he doesn't catch up quickly, he might not be able to see him again.Even so, it doesn't matter to you? 】

But why did Sasuke leave?It was clear that the two talents finally came together but left alone without saying a word.Sure enough, I still couldn't make him completely trust me?

[You could just ask him about that kind of thing in person!If you have the consciousness, hurry up and catch up with me. Don’t ask me, a hostile person, to cheer you up every time!I will go with my heart to bring that guy back! 】

Ignoring the wounds on her body, Sakura sat up and grabbed him, not at all like a lady in front of Sasuke.But Sakura like this is extremely dazzling in Temari's eyes.

[In contrast, I will work hard together with you for the Chunin Exam.So don’t hesitate, even if I give up this time, okay? 】

His eyes were misty with tears but he was extremely strong.

[That guy Sasuke must be waiting for you even if he doesn’t say it! 】

"Ah, sorry, I figured it out."

Temari sighed and looked back at the stands.Sakura was not there. After the last desperate duel, she had to be carried off the field.That kind of hard work means you really want to work hard for your own sake.

Thinking of this, Temari raised her right hand decisively.

"I abstain!"

"Damn it, I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I'm almost going to die!"

sp; Struggling to crawl forward two steps, Naruto managed to hold himself up.

Regardless of whether Sasuke showed mercy or not, the power unleashed by his two jutsus together was simply too great.The combination of water escape and thunder escape is not a simple theoretical change like one plus one. It is a technique that makes people so powerless that they cannot think of resisting.

Votting out a large mouthful of blood, Naruto once again sighed at the strength of his body.Even though the sweet and rusty smell of blood was still in his throat, and his ribs and joints were broken to an unknown extent, he still managed to survive without losing consciousness.

"Everyone, it's okay..."

Naruto, who opened his eyes, was speechless.The scene in front of him really made it impossible for him to sort out his emotions before he could speak.

The vast ocean turned the sand basin back into a lake, with only a small area around it still retaining sand.All the companions around him fell unconscious on it.

The gigantic Choji protected Shikamaru, and Shikamaru protected Yakumo. Even so, the three of them still couldn't block Sasuke's attack.Kakashi stood in the front and knelt down on the ground with his hands on his hands. He must have tried his best to use Chidori to resist.

All suffered minor or severe internal injuries and lost consciousness.However, this was not the most terrifying thing. What really left Naruto speechless was the bloody man kneeling in front of him.

"I love Luo...you..."

The voice was trembling, and Naruto wanted to touch the person in front of him who was protecting him with his body.But the skin was broken everywhere and he couldn't do anything.

"Oh, are you still awake, Naruto? It's worth it that I tried my best to use the ninjutsu. Unfortunately, even the strongest shield can't withstand the impact."

Gaara opened half of his eyes, and blood continued to overflow from his mouth. His injury was the most serious of all, and it was also accompanied by an overdraft of chakra.Being able to talk to Naruto at this time was just barely possible.

"Don't pay too much attention to Naruto. I expected this situation before I chased him. People always say that I am a monster, but that guy is someone who can defeat me easily. It is inevitable that he will lose."

"Then, why are you trying so hard to protect me!"

Compared to Naruto who was choking, Gaara smiled as if he was relieved.

"Naruto, listen to me, you are the one who was praised as a monster by that guy. If there is any hope for those of us to defeat him, it is not with me, Shikamaru, or Kakashi. Can defeat him You are the only one!"

"Also, although we haven't spoken properly yet. We are friends, right..."

Before he could finish his words, Gaara fell straight into Naruto's arms.Blood continued to overflow and dye Naruto's clothes and cheeks red.

"...Well, you are right, we are already friends! We are irreplaceable friends! Don't worry, I will beat Sasuke and make him apologize to you properly."

Gently putting down the unconscious Gaara, Naruto managed to stand up.As tears fell, chakra as red as blood burned violently, and Naruto's wounds were completely healed in almost an instant.

"This level of Kyuubi chakra... Jiraiya, have you already used the Kyuubi's key?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was wrapped in Nine-Tails chakra in the distance, and slowly took Daoxue back into the psychic diagram.To deal with Naruto in Nine-Tails mode, he didn't dare to use a real sword. One bad move might really kill Naruto.

"Sasuke, why are you so harsh on everyone!" Naruto roared.

"I have stopped using Ice Escape. If I want to blame you, I can only blame you for your lack of strength." Sasuke unconsciously turned his gaze to the side.

"And this is also a battle where they put their dignity on the line. Showing some of their strength is the minimum sign of respect, isn't it?"

"...Just for this reason? Just for a purpose you can't say, you will turn everyone who wants to help you into this miserable state!"

Naruto's eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a fox, and the three whiskers on his face grew thicker.He bit his right hand and smeared the blood on his left hand and began to form seals quickly.

"As expected, I can't forgive you Sasuke! Even if I break your hands and feet, I will take you back to apologize to everyone!"
