Chapter 80: Late Reinforcements, Konoha's Counterattack and the End

"You must be in pain too, Gaara..."

“I have actually experienced those inexplicable insults, hate, hatred and even hostility.

"Indeed, that kind of pain can make people depressed, irritable, and crazy..."

"But that's not why we run away from reality and give up on ourselves."

"As long as you work hard to change yourself, you will definitely get the recognition of others and change everything."

"So I worked hard to change, and now I'm recognized by Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, Sakura, and Shikamaru!"

"I believe that one day I will be recognized by the whole village."

"It's no longer the demon fox they talk about, but the Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha Village..."

"Gaara, you can actually do it..."

"No, don't come over..."

"How could I need that kind of thing! The purpose of my existence is to kill people..."

"Don't think so, Gaara. Don't you have anyone who approves of you or wants to be recognized by someone?"

"Approved person? Yashamaru..."

As soon as Sasuke brought Sakura to the nearby area, he heard Naruto's otherworld mouth and Gaara's dead duck mouth.

This made the two of them pause...

"Sasuke-kun, what is the demon fox that Naruto is talking about??"

Sakura subconsciously turned around and asked, very puzzled by this.

She had heard this title several times, but she didn't understand its true meaning at all!

"Naruto has something similar to that tanuki inside him, a powerful fox..."

Sasuke thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Sakura would know sooner or later anyway.

"K-Fox!!" Sakura's delicate body trembled and she looked at Naruto in shock.

This guy also has a monster like that! !

Thinking of Shukaku's terror just now, Sakura shuddered suddenly and her scalp went numb.

"Sasuke-kun, aren't you afraid?"

Looking at the indifferent Sasuke next to her, Sakura couldn't help but said timidly.

"What's so scary about that idiot? I only know him as Uzumaki Naruto..."

Sasuke smiled lightly and walked quickly towards Naruto under Sakura's surprised look.

"Naruto……"

Sakura's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and memories of Naruto involuntarily appeared in her mind...

In less than a moment, Sakura's nervousness, worry, and fear were all gone...

"That is to say, he is still the Uzumaki Naruto I know...

That pushy idiot Naruto! ! "

Suddenly, Sakura smiled and looked at Sasuke's back and quickly chased after him.

She believed that even if there was any problem, Sasuke-kun would stop Naruto, just like he stopped Gaara today...

But then again, why does Sasuke-kun believe and understand Naruto so much~~

"Naruto……"

"Sasuke, Naruto..."

Before Sasuke and Sakura had taken a few steps, Shino and Shikamaru's shouts came one after another...

Making Sasuke and Sakura stop again, it also woke up Naruto and Gaara.

"Shino? Examiner Anko??"

Looking at the people around Shikamaru, Sakura was unexpectedly stunned, not knowing what was going on.

"Sorry, we're late..."

With a few whooshes, Anko came to them with two jounin and Shikamaru Shino.

The moment the two Jonin appeared, they immediately ran towards Gaara...

"I didn't expect you to come here, Examiner Anko..." Sasuke's eyes flashed, Konoha is indeed short of manpower now.

He turned to look at the two jounin who had already taken action, "Are they from the sealing class?"

"Well, thanks to you for stopping Orochimaru's conspiracy this time..."

Anko nodded in confirmation, but her eyes flickered on Sasuke.

That big red snake just now must have been summoned by Sasuke!

Although it has been proven that Sasuke was trying to stop Ichibi Shukaku, how could he know Orochimaru's psychic skills? ?

This matter can be big or small. For the current Konoha, Orochimaru is too sensitive...

"Shikamaru, where are Choji and Lee?"

Beside, Sakura watched Shikamaru chasing after him alone and quickly asked worriedly.

Choci, Xiao Li, nothing will happen to him...

But it doesn't look like Shikamaru.

"Don't worry, Sakura..." Shikamaru could see Sakura's worry at a glance and waved his hand to reassure her.

Then he leisurely turned to look at Sasuke, "We captured Sunagakure's Temari and Kankuro on the way here, and Chouji and Xiao Li were there to take care of them.

Then I met Shino and the others on the way here, and that’s it…”

"I see..." Sasuke nodded with a joking look in his eyes. This was because he was being served from the same pot...

"Great..." Sakura clapped her hands, secretly glad that no one was injured or anything.

"Hey...Sasuke...

We can't let down our guard now, we should go back to the village quickly to stop other enemies. "

Naruto saw his friends here coming, and immediately put down Gaara and ran over, shouting to urge him.

"No need, Naruto...

The village has begun the counterattack phase, and our current task is to ensure that Gaara is not taken away by Sunagakure. "

Anko immediately stopped him. The value of a jinchuriki is more important than anything else.

As long as this is there, Konoha will have the upper hand whether it is negotiation or continued war afterwards...

at the same time

On the empty streets of Konoha, a dozen Suna ninjas were rushing forward to search for enemies...

Whoosh whoosh, several ANBU suddenly appeared to stop them.

"Don't even think about taking another step forward!!" Anbu Xi Yan's eyes were cold as she drew out her long sword with murderous intent.

On the other side

"Shadow Binding Technique..."

"Mind Chaos Body Technique..."

"Multiplication Technique..."

The older generation of Ino-Shika-Chou Shikaku, Haiyi, and Choza used secret techniques to instantly kill more than a dozen Sand Ninjas.

A corner of Konoha

"Today, I will let you know what the Hyuga clan is... Kaiten..."

Hyuga Hiashi looked cold and disdainful in the face of more than a dozen enemies, and violent chakra instantly emanated from the acupoints to form a Kaiten Tornado...

"Ah..."

"Yama..."

The audience only had time to scream before they were blown away by Kaiten and their lives were unknown.

Chunin Meeting Venue

"Release..."

The four Otonin shouted at the same time, and the huge Four Purple Flame Formation dissipated...

"Lord Orochimaru..." Jirobo and Sakon immediately supported the half-crippled Orochimaru and ran away.

Tayuya and Kidomaru were on guard and defended, while blocking the Anbu's pursuit...

"Do you want to chase? Kakashi..."

Off the field, Might Guy looked at Orochimaru's fleeing back and said solemnly.

"No, wait a minute!!"

Kakashi hesitated and declined. It didn't make any sense to chase Orochimaru now.

"A smart choice...

Then goodbye, everyone!!"

Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Maki calmly, and immediately formed a seal and evacuated.

"Let's go and see the Hokage first..."

Seeing this, Kakashi's eyes became serious, and he took the lead and ran to the roof of the stands.

Xuanjian and Might Guy followed without hesitation...

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

When the three of them came up, the surrounding Konoha Jonins also rushed over...

In addition to Asuma, Kurenai, Ibiki and other well-known ninjas, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was also present.

Everyone looked at the corpse of the Third Hokage in silence with a sad look and mixed feelings...
