[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

"Naruto-kun, the rest time is coming to an end."

The dying bonfire swayed in the center of the open space, stubbornly providing the last bit of heat.When Naruto opened his eyes, he saw the lynx mask hanging above him and almost stood up in fright.

Seeing that Naruto had woken up, Yuki turned around to continue waking Sakura up, but was stopped by the boy's whisper.

"... Have we met somewhere?" Looking at Xue's back, Naruto asked hesitantly, scratching his chin.

"I'm in charge of Jiraiya-sama's regular contact." Yuki thought that the chances of appearing in front of Naruto as Anbu seemed to be rare, and she probably met him when she was looking for Jiraiya.

"No, it was earlier, and I can't remember the details. I always feel that I was in a daze, as if... being carried by you..." The blond boy scratched his head, as if he was rummaging through the corner of his memory.

Yuki thought about it for a moment, and remembered that what Naruto said was about the Chunin exam. At that time, he rescued Naruto who fainted from the attack of Orochimaru, but he was still conscious.

"It doesn't matter."

After all, after not seeing each other for a long time, Snow's voice and body shape have changed, coupled with her own single-celled personality, even if she met Naruto face to face like this, she still didn't discover the true face of the masked girl.

"Hmm... I always feel a familiar feeling." The blond boy gave up thinking deeply, but suddenly remembered the positions of the two parties, and his tone suddenly became stiff, "But you are in charge of monitoring me now, after all. It’s no different from those selfish guys like Sand Ninja.”

"Hmph, Granny Tsunade is just like everyone else, you all just treat me like a monster."

"... Tsunade-sama is worried about your safety, my main task is to protect your safety, please don't underestimate yourself."

In a way, Snow's task was indeed to monitor Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but at this moment she was trying to explain to the boy, although she seemed awkward because she was not used to doing such things.The girl who is isolated from the category of "normal people" also has a lot of experience, so she feels a little empathy for Naruto.

"I don't need protection!" Naruto retorted unconvinced, "I don't even need you to approach me because of a mission!"

"Then please treat me as air."

"How could it be possible! Aren't you standing here alive? Ah... Really, how can I be so rude to girls when I talk about it."

Naruto scratching his head and apologizing angrily reminded Yuki of the time when he was with Class [-], and it really hasn't changed at all.Although he is still so straightforward, he is also so frank that people can't feel the haze.

"Since we have to send someone, why can't we send Xiaoxue...Xiaoxue must understand me..." The young man lowered his head and complained in a low voice, his face full of regret.

The girl couldn't help snickering, the girl realized that it was too late to cover up her voice, the boy in front of her looked at her with wide blue eyes, the scene was quite funny.

"So you can laugh?"

"Cough." Xue coughed to cover up her embarrassment, and the bobcat mask seemed to come alive, "Well... thank you for speaking for me before."

"That's just what I want to say." Naruto rubbed his head embarrassingly, looking at the back of the man who turned to call Sakura, he always felt extremely awkward.

Is it too bad to complain to a girl?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Little girl!"

With an affectionate call, two dog paws suddenly grabbed Xue's head facing each other, almost knocking off the mask.

"...Parker, don't step on my head." Picking up the Shar-Pei puppy, Xue put it on her shoulder helplessly, and in front of her was Kaiban who had successfully merged with her side.

Everyone stepped on the mirror-like water, the reflection of the green trees and blue sky and the torii gates in the water formed a colorful and comfortable picture scroll, although this peaceful scenery will soon be broken by the battle.

The entrance to the cave where the enemy was located was sealed by a huge stone, preventing the two teams from going further.In the end, the two sides decided to split up, and Kaiban, who was faster, was responsible for lifting the seal.

Before leaving, Kai and Xue Liang, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, showed a vigorous thumb and a smile, which made others look sideways at the embarrassed girl for no apparent reason.

On the way to wait for the release of the seal, Parker didn't stay by his master's side, but lay on Yuki's shoulders, complaining about how hard he was and how tired he was, while enjoying the girl's random meat ball massage, and from time to time, he showed Kakashi his victorious smile. smile.

Although Kakashi's dead fish eyes were somewhat resentful, Snow was very grateful for Parker's noise. Under the brainwashing of the dog's nagging and unnutritive speech, he finally got rid of his messy thoughts and was able to focus on the situation in front of him.

Now is not the time to be cranky.

Taking a deep breath to clear her mind, Xue took out a candy and peeled off the wrapper, stuffed it into the mouth of the chattering Parker, sent it back and stood beside the entrance.

Following Sakura's powerful blow, the boulder at the entrance of the cave collapsed completely with a bang, and several people rushed into the cave and immediately looked at the situation inside vigilantly.

There were only two ninjas dressed in red clouds and black-bottomed robes in the empty cave. The rescue team's heart, which should have been relaxed a little, hung high after seeing the silent figure sitting under the enemy.

Snow and Kakashi looked at each other, both of them understood the current situation.

Are you late?

Gaara, who is a one-tailed Jinchuriki, was lying on the ground slumped at the moment, without any signs of life.Yuki's hand slowly stretched out towards the ninja sword, and Jiraiya-sama's conjecture came true. Akatsuki's purpose was to extract the tailed beast from Jinchuriki's body. Once Jinchuriki lost the power of the tailed beast, he would die.

So the Naruto who is here now is undoubtedly a piece of delicious roast meat delivered to the enemy's mouth.

Different from the anger and sadness of the blond boy, the girl didn't have the leeway to mourn for Kazekage, whom she had met so many times, but calmly and ruthlessly thinking about how to take Naruto out of the battlefield first—since the target to be rescued is dead, Then there is no point in staying here.

Although Xueda wanted to find out the whereabouts of their companions from the mouths of these two strange people who kept saying incomprehensible words from the bottom of their hearts, the task was the first priority.

However, Naruto never acted according to Yuki's logic. When he shouted and rushed towards the enemy, the attack that Shan Mao Anbu had been planning for a long time could only be used on his own people.

Snow unceremoniously pressed one knee on Naruto's back, and pressed the young man who was still rushing hard to the ground, the scene was a bit funny for a while.Not only Sakura and Chiyo were stunned on the spot, but even the enemy watched the two wrestling together as if they were watching a farce.

"Bastard! What are you doing?!" Naruto yelled in dissatisfaction. He didn't expect that he would be suppressed by his teammates before fighting the enemy.

"My task is to ensure your safety. I will be very embarrassed if you are so hot-headed to meet the enemy indiscriminately."

"You guys only have missions in your mind! Anyway, it's only because of missions that you approach me, why should I listen to you!"

The brute force of the young man below her was almost uncontrollable. Seeing Naruto's beastlike eyes, Snow realized that the power of Kyuubi had begun to show.

"Now is not the time for internal strife." Kakashi dodged to the side of the two helplessly. One played cards out of common sense, and the other put the mission first. They were really bad compatibility. "Huoyue let go of him first, and Naruto shouldn't rush forward without a plan."

Hearing Naruto's unconvinced reply in a low voice, Xue Yiyan let go of the person, made a few hand gestures, and asked Kakashi if he would take Naruto to retreat first.

Unexpectedly, the silver-haired Jonin thought for a moment with a serious expression, and replied with gestures: "Continue with the task."

Xuewei sighed, and retreated behind the two of them, risking her life to accompany the gentleman, ready to fight.

When there was a situation on one's own side, it seemed that the enemy also had a discord. After arguing, the two actually started fighting each other.One of them jumped onto a white bird-shaped flying object and flew out of the cave with Gaara's body in its beak.

Sure enough, Naruto gave chase with a roar, apparently the enemy had already seen through his single-celled personality before deliberately seducing him.

"Calm down, idiot." Complaining in a low voice, Yuki could only follow and jumped up the torii gate outside the cave. Kakashi told Sakura and Chiyo to drag another enemy and chase them out together.

"Teacher, where is Senior Akai's support?"

"When they unblocked, they were held back by defensive traps, and they couldn't come back for a while."

The situation was grim, Xue looked at Naruto and Renren who had already fought in a group outside the cave, and the sound of the battle broke the originally peaceful scenery.

Naruto, who was obviously hit by the enemy's aggressive tactics, launched an attack without hesitation, but the opponent dodged on the commanding heights like a juvenile, and dropped explosive flying objects from time to time. The situation was one-sided.

"Naruto-kun, for safety's sake, step back first, Kakashi-senpai and I will be responsible for taking back Jinchuriki." Yuki tried to communicate with the blond boy who had faintly revealed the appearance of Nine-Tails, but was stared back fiercely by a pair of beast eyes .

"What a joke! My friend was treated like that, how could I hide behind others and swallow my anger! Guys like you don't understand how it feels to see a friend in distress! Also, don't call me Gaara Renzhuriki!" Ming said The man shook off Xuela's hand.

"..." Looking at the boy's back, Xue silently drew out her shuriken and followed closely behind.

The enemy galloped all the way to the depths of the forest on the flying object, and Naruto chased after Kakashi at an alarming speed, almost disappearing from sight.

Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's attacks, Xue nimbly ran up the treetops, and when she was close to the height, she jumped into the air suddenly, and projected a blood-stained shuriken from her hand, changing the trajectory and trying to shoot down the enemy.

However, relying on the superiority in the air, the opponent ignored the tickling attack at all, and easily dodged it.

Too far away is really not easy to manipulate.Jumping on the treetops, Xue looked down at Naruto who was furiously jumping down, thinking again whether to follow the optimal plan to knock him out and carry him away.

However, Naruto's desperate appearance made Xue hesitate, and she never flinched even though she was covered in bruises. The roar in her ear made the girl think of herself who was constantly sacrificing but helpless in the face of her teammates.

Is it true that I can't understand this kind of angry mood as Naruto said?If this is the case, why have they insisted on chasing the culprit who destroyed the team in the past few years?

"You have to trust your teammates." The words Kujo said to himself that night sounded out of place in his mind.

What are you doing?

The teamwork that the teacher has always taught has been left behind because of impetuous mood, and fighting each other in this way is just giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If you don't even trust your friends, who else can you trust?

It was as if a burden had been lifted from my heart.

Snow stopped to use the seal technique to bind Naruto's hands, and silently looked at the silver-haired Jonin who had been protecting the boy. She was not qualified either as a leader or a protector.

When the flying object rushed straight towards Naruto who had hit the tree trunk and was still unable to get up, the girl subconsciously flew forward, hugged the boy and rolled to the side.

The explosive wind that exploded behind pushed the two of them away together with the aroused gravel. Xue was protecting the boy with her right hand. Seeing that their heads were about to hit the solid stone, she immediately stretched out her left hand filled with chakra. as a buffer.Accompanied by the sound of broken bones, the two of them changed their positions and hit the stone, but fortunately they were still conscious.

"You...are you stupid?! I'm much stronger than you! I won't get hurt at all!"

Naruto looked at the disheveled girl in front of him in surprise. He seemed to have had the experience of being protected by the person in front of him before, but why?The boy didn't understand why Anbu, who was close to him because of the mission, was so desperate to protect himself, but it was just a mission.

"You're right, I'm an idiot." When the girl raised her head, the mask on her face was cracked due to the impact, revealing her originally pale face, "Really, it's really too much for teammates to not trust each other at all. Oh no.

I'm sorry Naruto, but I... don't want to protect you because of the mission, but because we are also friends. "

The girl's smiling face with the scars on it was reflected in front of his eyes, and Naruto looked at the nearby face in disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "X-Xiaoyuki?"
