[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

The second beheading mission was named KSII (Kill Sasuke II). The KSII team is a 12-member team composed of five Anbu elites and one field doctor from the Heyuan and Shenshan areas in the northern part of the Fire Country. The Heyuan troops sent Haruno Sakura as an accompanying doctor.Before being formally incorporated into the KSII team, the accompanying doctors of both sides conducted close-to-hand combat and various firearm shooting training in their respective stations for half a month. very familiar.

At the end of August, the formation of the KSII team was completed, and the next task was to wait for Sasuke to appear in the sights of the intelligence and reconnaissance agencies of the allied countries.

After the joint investigation and intelligence network coverage of the fire, earth, wind, and thunder countries, Sasuke's whereabouts were discovered by the country of the wind when he just appeared on the border of the country of the river. Leaving from the country of the wind and fire, he soon entered Xiao's territory between the two countries of wind and fire.However, because the destination of Sasuke's trip was uncertain, KSII decided after internal discussions that the Anbu members of the Kamiyama Troop near the border of the Kawa no country would bring their own doctors to follow Sasuke into the enemy area, while the Anbe members of Tsurugen would follow him from the city of Fire. Detour through the railway line to Tingshui Temple Town at the junction of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire to wait for news.

After the beginning of autumn, the heat in the northern part of the country of fire fades away, and the autumn coolness begins to appear sooner or later, and even the sunshine begins to become thinner, but the south of Heyuan is still a summer scene, and the sun is as strong as peanut oil pouring on the railway outside the carriage. It was so shaking that people couldn't open their eyes.Haruno Sakura sat in the carriage, tightly holding the medicine box in her hand.

In September of last year, the Fourth World War had just begun. In the blink of an eye, the war has lasted for a year, but the dawn of the end has not yet been seen.

When the train passed Konoha along the way, Haruno Sakura saw the sign of Konoha Railway Station flashing past the window. At that moment, all the old memories came to her heart. She closed her eyes, and the huge memory made her feel breathless. But Haruno Sakura didn't indulge in the tide of memories for too long, because she knew that there was a more difficult task waiting for her ahead, and she was about to face a face-to-face confrontation with Sasuke.

Tingshui Temple Town belongs to the Diliang area in the southern part of the country of fire, but it is located on the edge of the Diliang area. After the start of the Fourth World War, this town has always been in the chaotic zone formed by the tug-of-war between the country of fire and Akatsuki, but Ting Water Temple Town is also the fastest way to enter the Land of Water from the enemy area in the west of the Land of Fire.

Hearing that Haruno Sakura and his party arrived in Tingshui Temple Town, Shikamaru came to Tingshui Temple Town on purpose. On behalf of the Southern War Zone, he greeted the members of the KSII Heyuan Branch and held a meeting in the Fire Country Army Garrison in Tsingshui Temple Town. Hosted a group of six for a casual meal.

Haruno Sakura hasn't seen Shikamaru for a long time, and hasn't heard from him for a long time. When she saw the rank mark on Shikamaru's military uniform, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression.During the meeting, the two briefly exchanged information on the current situation of the war on the North and South battlefields, but Shikamaru obviously knew more about the overall situation of the Fourth World War than Haruno Sakura.

After the light meal, Haruno Sakura and Shikamaru sat in the yard outside the residence and chatted.

"I thought you would stay in Heyuan all the time." Shikamaru twisted a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't smoke.

"I volunteered to participate in the beheading mission, but the organization did not approve me to participate in the first operation." Haruno Sakura said flatly, she reached out to Shikamaru, took the cigarette in his hand, and Haruno Sakura skillfully lit it for herself Up the smoke, the gray smoke drifted away in the hot air of the summer night, "I am here now with the intention to kill Sasuke."

Shikamaru smiled and said, "Maybe this is a good thing."

"By the way, how is Ino doing?" Haruno Sakura glanced at Shikamaru's smile, and asked about Ino.

"She is not having a good time recently. Senior Haiyi died in the western battlefield. Now Ino is left alone in Konoha. The flower shop of the Yamanaka family is closed, so she has to work in the hospital at the rear of the headquarters." In Shikamaru's voice Feeling helpless, "I want to send her to the Heyuan Army. Tsunade-sama and Choji are both in the Heyuan Army. I am also relieved that Ino is there. Speaking of which, have you met Choji?"

"Well, I saw Choji." Thinking of Choji, Haruno Sakura couldn't help showing a happy smile, "He takes good care of me, and always leaves me a portion of any delicious food."

Hearing what Haruno Sakura said, Shikamaru couldn't help laughing: "He's still exactly the same as when he was in the military academy."

Haruno Sakura lowered her head and smoked in silence for a while, then extinguished it on the trash can at hand.She looked up at the bright and beautiful galaxy above her head, and asked Shikamaru softly: "Hey, do you think Mr. Asma is a star in this galaxy?"

Shikamaru also raised his head to look at the sky full of stars, and finally shrugged desolately: "Maybe."

"He must be very pleased to see you now." Haruno Sakura said.

Shikamaru shook his head: "But this kind of troublesome life is not what I want." He suddenly sighed heavily, "People always say to learn to control their own destiny, but there are few people who can really choose their own destiny." I think we have always been chosen by fate, whether it is me, you, Tsunade-sensei, Sai, Ino, or Sasuke or Itachi, we are what we are today because of an invisible hand propelled us on the path we are in today.”

"That's a bit of a fatalistic point of view." Haruno Sakura nodded thoughtfully, and she raised her eyebrows at Shikamaru, "However, even if fate arranged for us to become what we are today, at every intersection, the choice must be made. People are still ourselves, don’t we make corresponding decisions based on our own will?”

"It's not so much that we make our own choices, it's better to say that we don't have so many choices." Shikamaru looked at Haruno Sakura, "This is not like the multiple-choice questions in school, one of the four answers is always correct options. Most of the time, the choices in front of you will only make the status quo worse or worse."

"So in essence, there is no absolutely free choice, is there?" Haruno Sakura said with a smile.

Shikamaru was stunned for a while, then nodded with a wry smile: "That's right - I'm really sorry today, I'm here to greet you, I should have said something to cheer you up, but now I said so many negative words in front of you."

"Don't mind too much, after all, not everyone can remain optimistic forever, and you have to allow yourself to be weak occasionally." Haruno Sakura waved her hand, "I remember the days when I was most embarrassed, and even felt that waking up every morning was a depression Because the next day, I have to face a hopeless life."

"Fortunately, you finally came over." Shikamaru said.

Haruno Sakura tilted her head and thought for a while: "Maybe there is indeed an established destiny, but since we have tried our best, it is not too regrettable. Therefore, no matter whether the current life is what we originally wanted, for me , it would make me a little bit happier to be honest about it."

"Be taught, be taught, should I call you Haruno-sensei?" Shikamaru stretched, and winked at Haruno Sakura.

"Shikamaru, you're going to beat me to death by saying that!"

On the third day after the KSII team's Tsurugen Branch arrived in Tingshui Temple Town, they received news from the Kamiyama Branch that Uchiha Sasuke was heading towards the country of water and was about to enter Tingshui Temple Town.According to the description of the Shenshan branch, the vehicle Sasuke was riding in was a black four-seater off-road vehicle. It is unknown whether the vehicle has firepower configuration.

After deliberation, members of the KSII Shenshan Branch attacked Sasuke's vehicle from behind. If Sasuke could not be killed immediately, they would immediately notify the members of the Heyuan Branch through a flare gun, and then rely on the distribution of roads in Tingshui Temple Town to drive Sasuke's vehicle back. Go to the place where the Heyuan branch is ambushing, and carry out front and rear flanking attacks with the Heyuan branch.

The place where the Heyuan branch ambushed was an abandoned building. Under the cover of night, the Heyuan branch came to the designated place four hours earlier to ambush.Due to the chaotic power distribution in Tingshui Temple Town, everyone may be attacked by Akatsuki at any time after leaving the relatively safe Tingshui Temple Town resident, so Haruno Sakura not only carries a medicine kit, but also an assault gun, A handful of gunpowder and the corresponding ammunition, she glanced down at her watch uneasily, the pointer was pointing to twelve o'clock in the evening, at this time there were only street lights and drunks on the street, and occasionally the sound of singing could be heard from the bars on the street.

Although it was late at night, Haruno Sakura did not feel sleepy, on the contrary, her heart was mixed with tension and excitement.Following in the footsteps of Anbe members, Haruno Sakura walked through the gate of the abandoned building and came inside. She poked her head out and looked at the empty street and lonely streetlights outside the window, then sat on the ground next to the wall and took deep breaths to calm down. .

At about two o'clock in the morning, three bright flares suddenly exploded in the night sky, and the members of Heyuan Anbu couldn't help raising their hearts to their throats, which meant that the operation of the Shenshan Branch had failed.The Anbe captain frowned, and in a low voice assigned an Anbe member to follow him to the waiting car opposite the building, leaving Haruno Sakura and three Anbe members in the building.

Not long after, there were gunshots and roaring cars in the distance, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but clenched tightly.From the limited field of vision, Haruno Sakura saw that the oncoming black off-road vehicle was exactly the same as the description of the Shenshan branch. When the car entered the fire coverage of the heavy machine gun, the pre-installed heavy machine gun fired at the off-road vehicle , The deafening gunshots rang in the ear, for a moment, Haruno Sakura only felt that there was only buzzing in the ears, and at the same time, the Anbe members waiting in the car at the door of the abandoned building also started the car, The two cars drove forward almost parallel to each other.

However, Sasuke obviously had more than one person in the off-road vehicle, and the vehicle was also equipped with a certain number of weapons and equipment. The off-road vehicle sprayed flames towards the position of the Heyuan Anbu machine gunner, and threw several bullets into the abandoned building. Pieces □□.

The four people in the abandoned building sought shelters to avoid the huge explosion and impact. The fire quickly spread on the ground floor, and the fire blocked the entrance of the abandoned building with lightning speed.The scorching air licked Haruno Sakura's hair and skin, ignoring the situation of the other three Anbu, Haruno Sakura raised the butt of her gun and smashed the glass of the window closest to her, and then protected her head from the broken window. Turned out of the mouth.

The black off-road vehicle quickly disappeared from sight. Haruno Sakura turned her head and glanced at the machine gunner who was hiding at the door just now. He had already fallen to the ground motionless, with sticky blood spreading under his body.

"Doctor Haruno, this way!" When Haruno Sakura was standing there at a loss, she suddenly heard someone call her name, and when she looked up, it was the Anbu member who was left in the building with her at that time. They didn't know Where did I find a car, and I was sitting in the car waving at Haruno Sakura, "Get in the car, you should be able to follow the car from Shenshan Branch now."

Haruno Sakura quickly got into the back seat of the car. She turned her head to glance at the bodies submerged in the sea of ​​flames, and couldn't help saying to the two Anbu sitting in the front row: "That machine gunner, he's dead."

However, the two of them didn't seem to have heard Haruno Sakura's words, they just listened attentively to the location information constantly reported in the walkie-talkie, Haruno Sakura had no choice but to shut up embarrassingly.The car drove forward crazily.Suddenly, a loud gunshot and explosion sounded from the other end of the walkie-talkie. Haruno Sakura heard the person in charge of the Tsurugen branch shout hoarsely on the walkie-talkie: "Akatsuki's army is ahead to meet Sasuke, pay attention to dodge, pay attention..." However, before he finished speaking, the other end of the walkie-talkie fell into a noisy noise, and he tried to contact him completely.

The car stopped abruptly on the side of the road, Haruno Sakura and the remaining two Anbu looked at each other in blank dismay, the three of them already understood the situation ahead, whether they should continue to carry out the task or return at this time, the three of them fell silent in unison.

At 03:30 in the morning, the chase has come to an end, and the sky has not yet brightened, but the KSII team has lost the best time to kill Sasuke.

This night, Deidara also had a restless life.

Since Itachi returned to the rear for a physical examination, there has been no news, which made Didala feel very uneasy. On the one hand, Didara did not have full confidence in being in charge of the command work alone. Even with the assistance of a combat staff officer, he Still quite accustomed to working with Itachi, on the other hand, not long ago, Payne sent a notice to Didara to send Sasuke to the country of water to take over Itachi's job, which made Didara feel concerned about Itachi's body. The situation gave rise to many speculations. He tried to ask about Itachi on the phone, but Payne didn't give a positive answer. He just said briefly "Sasuke is leaving in the near future" and hung up the phone.

In the following days, in addition to being in charge of the command of the Water Kingdom battlefield, Didara also had to do handover work for Itachi, which left Didara with little free time to pay attention to Itachi's condition.

When Didala knew that the riot in Tingshui Temple Town in the early morning was caused by Sasuke, Didara was secretly dissatisfied with the new commander in his heart, but this kind of heartfelt desire The unhappiness doesn't seem to just come from this.However, Didara still sent an army to meet Sasuke, and a small-scale battle inevitably broke out between Akatsuki and the Nation of Fire, and Akatsuki's army withdrew soon after reaching its goal.

The black off-road vehicle that Sasuke was riding passed through numerous roadblocks and checkpoints and came to Akatsuki's residence. Deidara, who stood at the door to greet Sasuke, glanced at Sasuke's car. , covered with bullet marks of different shades, and the thickened bulletproof glass is also full of cracks.

Under Deidara's scrutinizing eyes, Sasuke gave him a cold look, and asked straight to the point: "Where is Itachi now?"

Didara didn't know much about Sasuke. During the process of working with Itachi, Itachi rarely mentioned Sasuke to Didara.Deidara only knows that Sasuke is the orphan of the Uchiha Miemen massacre and is Itachi's younger brother. About four years ago, Sasuke left the Fire Country and formally joined the Akatsuki Organization.As for the various entanglements and reasons, Didara is not interested in delving into it.It's just that this time when Sasuke came to the country of water, he was not in a hurry to hand over the work, but first asked about Itachi's whereabouts, which made Didala have to speculate on the purpose of Sasuke's trip.

"Brother Itachi is back." Didara shrugged, folded his arms around his chest and asked with a half-smile, "I heard that you were the person in charge of the Sound Country and Tang Country bases before, how did you get there now? The Land of Water, huh?" Of course Deidara knew the situation on the battlefield of the Land of Sound, and his purpose of asking this question was just to see the embarrassment of this descendant of the Uchiha clan.

Sure enough, Sasuke snorted unhappily—the defeat on the battlefield of the land of sound was a shame he didn't want to bring up, but at this equally embarrassing moment today, Deidara wanted to poke him in the face in front of everyone. sore spot.In addition, Didara's address to Itachi also made Sasuke feel very unhappy - he stood on the spot and raised his head and said to Didara: "I'm going to find Itachi first, and you don't have to ask about other things. When I come back, I will take over Itachi's job, and we will be colleagues in the future, and I hope we can get along and cooperate well."

After hearing Sasuke's words, Deidara showed him a mocking smile, and after a long time, he said, "Hey, I said, you are here to kill Brother Itachi, am I right, huh?"

Sasuke's voice was cold and full of hostility: "This is the Uchiha clan's own business. You just need to know that the person who will work with you next is me, not Itachi."
