Naruto: Becoming Stronger from Illusion

Ah Fei was so frightened that he trembled, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but found that there was water on his neck, and he screamed in fear.

He jumped to the other side of Haruno Sakura, grabbed her arm and hid beside her, and his voice was distorted.

"Ah~ Sakura Senior~~ There are water drops on my neck, is there really a water ghost?"

He couldn't help looking around, as if looking for traces of water ghosts.

He suddenly remembered that there happened to be a river not far from where they were. Could anyone have drowned in it?

Haruno Sakura put away her hand that was secretly controlling the water, and whispered in his ear:

"Actually, I accidentally fell when I went to the river to fish just now. Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't get drowned."

After saying that, she patted her chest in fear, looking very grateful.

Ah Fei's body stiffened, and he felt a sense of horror after realizing it belatedly.

He instantly let go of the hand that was holding Haruno Sakura and took several steps back.

"Yamedie~~ I don't want to be a scapegoat!" He retreated three meters away.

Looking at his expression, he really regarded her as a scourge.

But she didn't bother to care about him.

She continued to brush the seasoning on the grill, and soon the tempting aroma of food began to float in the air.

When she finished grilling the meat, Ah Fei was still standing three steps away and didn't dare to come over.

Seeing his cowardly look, Haruno Sakura finally resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Whether he was acting or really afraid of ghosts, this was too much.

"That's enough, come and eat, or you'll be hungry!"

"Senior Sakura, are you still Senior Sakura?" Ah Fei scratched his head.

Haruno Sakura's eyes twitched.

"Okay, I just lied to you. I haven't been to the river to fish today, and there are no fish to eat. Please don't treat your head as a decoration!"

After hearing her say this, Ah Fei felt that it seemed to be the case, and he was relieved immediately.

After reacting, he felt that he was deceived so badly, so he complained a little aggrieved:

"Sakura Senior, you are too bad taste. You know Ah Fei is afraid of ghosts, but you deliberately scare me!"

Haruno Sakura was eating barbecue, and ignored his accusation, and directly forked a piece of barbecue into his hand.

"Okay, eat yours!"

Feeling Ah Fei's resentful eyes, Haruno Sakura turned a blind eye.

They set off early the next morning and started heading towards the Sea Country again.

The Sea Country is actually an island country, but its area is much larger than the Wave Country.

Although it is not as good as the Water Country, it is also ranked among the small countries.

Because the Sea Country is located in the sea area of ​​the Water Country.

So they had to pass through the Frost Country and the Land of Fields, and then take a boat through the Iron Country to reach their destination.

When passing through the Land of Fields, Haruno Sakura's shadow clone quietly came to Orochimaru's base.

Because she had a good relationship with the intelligence chief in the base, she knew that Orochimaru's base in the Land of Fields had not been destroyed at this time, which was convenient for her to find Sasuke.

As for Sasuke still coming to Orochimaru, this was not unexpected to her.

If he wanted to focus on improving his strength, it seemed that only this road was in front of him.

This time she did not alarm anyone, and directly used her mental power to find Sasuke's location.

At this time, he was in the training ground, and Orochimaru did not seem to be with him. He was probably doing his experiment.

Sasuke was very alert and clenched the Kusanagi sword in his hand, "Who is it? Come out!"

Accompanied by a shower of cherry blossoms, Haruno Sakura's figure flashed.

This illusion was something she came up with on a whim. It can not only confuse the enemy, but also make a feint to the east and attack in the west. It is also very interesting.

She walked slowly towards Sasuke and greeted him with a smile, "Don't do it, it's me!"

Sasuke's pupils shrank suddenly, and he slowly loosened his hand on the Kusanagi sword.

At this time, Haruno Sakura had walked in front of him and stretched out her hand to pinch his face. It was still the familiar face.

Seeing that there was no expression on his face, she couldn't help but complain:

"Hey! How long have we not seen each other? You won't forget your former friends, right? Sasuke."

"Come on, smile!" Haruno Sakura pulled the fat at the corner of his mouth to make a smile.

Sasuke finally controlled the intense emotional fluctuations, but this time he couldn't hold it up at all.

He reached out and stopped her hand that was playing tricks on his face.

"Sakura, are you doing well outside? Why do you know I'm here?"

In fact, he still had a lot of questions, but in the end he only managed to hold back this sentence.

Haruno Sakura broke free from his hand and hugged Sasuke.

"It's been so long since we last met, why don't you give me a warm hug? I'll do it myself, haha!"

It's so rare to see my friends after being out for so long.She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

But Sasuke was a proud guy, and it was not easy to make him show his emotions.

Now that even Sasuke had left, Team 7 was really broken, and I didn't know how sad Naruto would be.

But on second thought, Naruto should not be defeated by this setback, and he was probably thinking about improving his strength and bringing them back to the village.

Sasuke only felt the familiar fragrance around his nose, and his heartbeat suddenly lost some frequency. He couldn't help but reach out and hug her back hard.

Feeling Sasuke's response, Haruno Sakura smiled and answered his question just now.

"Of course it's not as peaceful outside as Konoha, but now I'm used to it."

"As for why I know you're here, guess!"

At this time, Sasuke was not as cold as when he defected to Orochimaru in the original play.

Compared with that, his emotions were much more stable and he seemed calmer.

Perhaps this time he could really avoid the tragedy of killing Uchiha Itachi with his own hands.

Sasuke felt helpless. She really hadn't changed. She still loved to tease him.

"I almost forgot the important thing!"

Haruno Sakura broke free from his arms and took out several bottles of eye drops prepared in advance from the ninja bag and handed them to him.

"Your eye drops should be almost used up. Just in time to refill them for you."

Sasuke put them away silently and continued to ask: "Sakura, where do you live now?"

Haruno Sakura was stunned by this question. She didn't know whether she should tell him that she was in the same organization as Uchiha Itachi.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly sensed that Orochimaru was approaching here.

She hurriedly said to him: "By chance, I have joined an organization now, and I have a place to stay."

"This matter is very complicated, and it will take a while to explain it clearly."

"Orochimaru is coming soon, and I can't come out for too long. I have to go."

"Goodbye, Sasuke!" The cherry blossoms disappeared with the wind.

Before Sasuke could even react, the figure of Haruno Sakura had disappeared without a trace.

Sasuke frowned, somewhat annoyed that Orochimaru came at the wrong time.

But when Orochimaru appeared, Sasuke's expression had returned to calm.
