[Hokage] One day to arrive

"The ninja of Konoha?" Lu Jiu stopped in his tracks. He would appear here at this time. The intention of coming was almost obvious, so even if he knew that the other party was probably leaving the village privately, he still lost the mission scroll as a keepsake. past.

Locke Lee fiddled with the quest scroll and looked at Lu Jiu in surprise: "Hey——Sorry, so you are also a ninja in the village? Because I haven't seen you before, so..."

"It's okay, I'm not Konoha's ninja."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lu Jiu reached out to take the scroll back from Locke Lee's hand, left a simple sentence, bypassed him and continued on his way.

Locke Lee scratched his hair in confusion, but because the mission scroll that Lu Jiu showed him just now was indeed genuine, so although he felt very strange in his heart, he still didn't say much, and subconsciously followed Lu Jiu and rushed forward. go.

Because of Lihuo's request, Lu Jiu didn't rush on with all his strength, and he didn't bother to persuade this guy he hadn't seen to go back at this time, and let him follow behind him far away.

Locke Liruo said that at the beginning, he just subconsciously followed Lu Jiu, a stranger, and after that, as he continued to move forward, he roughly reached his destination. Seeing that he didn't stop him, he drove him back to Konoha It meant that he couldn't care about anything else for a while, but not long after, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye——

"Ningji!"

Lockeley's eyes were about to burst, and regardless of the strange metal like spider webs on the surrounding trees, he yelled a few times and jumped to the side of the figure who fell on the ground, kicking away the fallen figure and growing several Looking at Ning Ci's bruised body, he didn't dare to shake his partner awake for the first time.

Locke Lee squatted beside the unconscious Ning Ci, his eyes widened and he murmured to himself, "How is it possible...Ning Ci has the strongest defense, how could he be hurt like this!"

The left shoulder and right waist are completely pierced, and the other scars are even more innumerable...

Ning Ci's name sounded too familiar. When Lu Jiu turned back, he saw Locke Lee squatting beside Ning Ci in a daze. He couldn't help frowning, raised his hand and put a seal on Ning Ci's body, and said in a cold voice: "If you continue to be stupefied, his vitality will be lost."

Locke Li's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look at Lu Jiu. Seeing that the other party's attention turned to him, Lu Jiu straightened up and said lightly: "You take him with you, and the one with weak vitality over there is about to disappear—should You guys who are also your companions hurry back to Konoha to find the Fifth Hokage." When he said this, he raised his finger in a direction, which seemed to be slightly different from the direction they came from. Somewhere in the past, "She is said to be the most powerful medical ninja in the world. If you hurry, you may be saved."

"But..." Locke Lee also knew that what Lu Jiu said was right, but remembering Naruto and Sasuke who was taken away, he was a little uncertain for a while, but after looking down at Neji, whose breath was already extremely weak, he landed again After looking in the direction Jiu pointed, he quickly made up his mind.

Firmly nodded at Lu Jiu, and suddenly bent down with a deep bow: "Although I haven't seen it before, Naruto and the others are counting on you!"

Lu Jiu's eyes froze, and before he could say anything, Locke Lee squatted down, carried Ning Ci on his back in an extremely careful posture while trying not to aggravate the other party's injuries, picked up Ning Ci and dropped it not far away The forehead protector rushed to the direction that Lu Jiu had pointed before.

"Interesting, but since it's just 'Naruto and the others', then let's follow the original arrangement." Lu Jiu watched Locke Lee's figure disappear into the jungle with the lifeless Neji, shook his head and continued to talk to Naruto. Go in the direction where the person is.

But this time Lu Jiu didn't forget to use his own power to investigate the other people who came out with Naruto Ningji in the jungle. He thought that if it really didn't work, he would help, but he didn't expect that just after doing this, he would It was discovered that three other people who could not be regarded as unexpected appeared in different places.

Closing his eyes, Lu Jiu focused on the red-haired boy who helped Naruto stop the new white-haired man who appeared with great interest while he was on his way. He remembered this - Gaara of Sand Waterfall, He Ming Human-like human strength.

It seems that this is the person who was sent by the Sand Ninja to support what the Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage said.

Lu Jiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a deep breath and suddenly slowed down. At Lihuo's request, Uchiha Sasuke's stay can only depend on Naruto's ability, and he will not intervene. As for the safety of Naruto and others ...

"Sasuke, I promised Sakura, I will definitely take you back!" Naruto panted, almost unable to speak fluently, but he still suppressed the inexplicable anxiety in his heart as much as possible, watching the big change in appearance with firm eyes Sasuke refused to give up at all, "We are companions, if there is anything we can't solve, Orochimaru won't..."

"Shut up." Sasuke indifferently looked down at Naruto who could barely stand up, but he couldn't help but think of the past, but those things that should make people happy made Sasuke's heart even colder I got up, "I don't have so much time to stay with you in Konoha to play house. Orochimaru can give me strength, that's enough."

Thinking of the battle on the roof of the hospital, Sasuke was even more unwavering - he couldn't even defeat Naruto, who was originally only good at physical skills, so why would he seek revenge from that man!Staring at Naruto closely, Sasuke's scarlet writing wheel eyes spun three rounds of Gouyu rapidly, and gradually a black shadow like a big windmill appeared: "If you continue to stick around, I will kill you with my own hands , cut off the past!"

"But..." Naruto raised his head, layers of double images had appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see Sasuke's face clearly, but even so he resisted to lose consciousness—Choji, Kiba, Shika Maru, Gaara, and Neji all worked so hard to help him, leaving each one alone to stop the powerful enemies, how could he give up so easily!

"Little devil, that's enough!" Kyuubi's deep voice suddenly sounded, sounding a little nervous, "Those eyes... the kaleidoscope has appeared, so it can be seen that he really has enough determination to kill you Fetters, try to find a chance to escape first!"

"Fox, what are you talking about? How could I leave...run away..." The abdomen was hit hard, the original words could no longer be uttered, the light in Naruto's eyes scattered, and his body fell limply on the ground , the sound of a thousand birds chirping suddenly seemed very close, but also seemed very far away...

Chidori, who was slightly off the mark, was about to hit Naruto at the moment, Sasuke's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he quickly backed away: "Who is it!"

Just for a moment, a wall of blazing red flames with slightly golden radiance blocked between Sasuke and Naruto in the form of a wall. Sasuke looked coldly at the things burned by the flames, whether it was water or sundries. , disappeared so quietly, not even leaving ashes... Cold sweat could not help soaking under the calm surface - if he hadn't avoided the fire just now, the fire would have been enough...

Suddenly looking up at the figure suddenly appearing beside Naruto full of hostility, Sasuke clenched his hands tightly into fists.

He has seen this person before, and memories flashed through his mind quickly, once when Kakashi treated him to barbecue after snatching the bell, and once when Gaara appeared with Naruto when Gaara first appeared!

"Junin of Konoha?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming more vigilant.

Even if he had awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he would not be overwhelmed with a body that had just consumed a lot of strength to fight against an unpredictable Konoha elite.

Lu Jiu turned his back to Sasuke and lowered his head to look at Naruto who was unconscious but still struggling and refused to give up. He frowned slowly and leaned down. He didn't dislike Naruto's body covered in ashes, mixed with blood and water. The original clothes hugged him horizontally.Hearing Sasuke's vigilant question, he tilted his head slightly, but he still didn't look at Sasuke, he just said "It has nothing to do with you" in a cold almost cold voice, and then led Naruto towards Konoha.

Didn't he come to catch himself back?

Seeing that Lu Jiu was really going to leave Naruto in such a daze, Sasuke couldn't help being surprised in his heart.

But Lu Jiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, still without turning his head, seemingly unprepared, but in fact he completely excluded Sasuke, and said in a cold and hoarse voice: "Someone please don't interfere Your decision and the results that Naruto can achieve, but you can do it yourself."

After speaking, don't stay any longer.

Lu Jiu could guess Lihuo's thoughts and plans, but he chose to indulge - but he just didn't interfere.

Know the truth and don't intervene, let their brothers kill each other or brothers work together.

Just ask for a result.

"Ahem...Sasuke...Brother Lu Jiu?" Naruto regained a little bit of consciousness, only to feel that he was lying in a place that obviously had no temperature, but didn't look cold at all, and saw someone who shouldn't appear here. The person... didn't know what he said, and asked, "Ningji... is he okay?"

"It should be considered bad...but my life is still there for the time being."
