Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 127 Fierce Battle

"Oh!"

The seal on the wooden barrel was kicked open from the inside.

Then Uchiha Sasuke with long hair jumped out of the barrel.

The long hair disappeared when Uchiha Sasuke came out.

"Sasuke!"

When Uzumaki Naruto saw Sasuke coming out, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The Nine-Tails Chakra on his body also dissipated, and his beast eyes returned to his original color.

"Um, do you need treatment? You don't look well."

Hotaru looked at Uchiha Sasuke and asked carefully.

Uchiha Sasuke ignored Hotaruka and instead turned around to look at Uzumaki Naruto who had been looking at him.

"Nana~Sasuke! That's great, you're okay. Really, those bastards actually kidnapped you when you weren't paying attention. Nana~ Come here, let's go back to Konoha together!"

Uzumaki Naruto said this with great joy.

Naruto, you idiot.

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his eyes.

I didn't expect him to come after me. This is a bit troublesome. According to his character, he will definitely want to take me back at all costs. I have no choice but to defeat him.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sasuke, what are you standing there for? Come back with me."

The smile on Uzumaki Naruto's face gradually failed to hold. He kept denying the truth that had already emerged in his heart.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Naruto for a long time, then said: "Why should I go back with you? This is the path I chose myself."

The smile on Uzumaki Naruto's face became more and more forced.

"Hahaha, Sasuke, what are you talking about? This joke is not funny at all. Come here quickly, let's go back together. Everyone is worried about you."

"Naruto, I'll say it again..."

Uchiha Sasuke was speaking, but was interrupted by Uzumaki Naruto.

"Oh! I see. You must still be angry about the B-rank mission I chose last time. That's why you said that on purpose. Don't worry, I won't accept random missions next time."

Uzumaki Naruto chattered on.

"I told you I won't go back with you..."

"Ahhhhh!!! Okay, okay, isn't it just that I didn't invite you when I invited Sakura to eat ramen last time? I won't give you the super deluxe version when we go back~"

Uzumaki Naruto kept interrupting Uchiha Sasuke's words, and even chose to speak loudly to cover up Uchiha Sasuke's voice.

As long as he can't hear what Sasuke says, he won't continue talking and won't choose to leave...

Uzumaki Naruto kept comforting himself in his heart.

"Naruto!"

Uchiha Sasuke shouted at Uzumaki Naruto.

Listening to Uchiha Sasuke's words, Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party with pleading eyes, hoping that the other party would not say the rest of the words.

"This is the path I chose. I will never go back to Konoha."

Uchiha Sasuke ignored Uzumaki Naruto's pleading gaze and spoke the hurtful words.

Uzumaki Naruto's pupils shrank, his arms trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Why!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Sasuke unwillingly, his mind constantly recalling the happy times they had together.

We were so happy when we were together, why did you choose to leave?

"Because, the current Konoha has no way of making me grow quickly. You've noticed it, Naruto. Konoha treats all ninjas too gently. Such an environment cannot make me grow quickly."

Uchiha Sasuke said this, the image of Uchiha Itachi appeared in his mind, and his hands clenched into fists.

"I'm an Avenger. I need to get stronger quickly so I can kill Itachi. And Konoha is not the right place for me."

"Isn't it just revenge? I can help you with that, so don't go, Sasuke."

Uzumaki Naruto is still trying to persuade Uchiha Sasuke.

"Naruto, do you know how it feels to have the person closest to you killed by the person you love and respect? No, you don't know, because you have never had parents and have always been alone. But I am different from you. How can you, who has always been in the dark and lonely, understand me who is in the dark but has seen the light!"

Uchiha Sasuke said with an angry expression on his face.

"So, you who know nothing, don't always look at me with that expression of 'I'm the same as you' or 'I understand how you feel'! You don't understand anything at all. When you see with your own eyes that someone you care about dies in front of you, I believe that you will desire power even more than I do."

Uchiha Sasuke said this, his eyes fell on Hotaruga who kept wiping her tears because of the touching story.

"You are from Orochimaru's side, right? Take me to see Orochimaru."

Uchiha Sasuke returned to his usual cold expression.

"no."

Yingcao shook her head, then said, "I was sent by the master. The master asked me to come and show you the way. However, the time is not up yet. You can say goodbye to your friends."

Hotaruka said to Uchiha Sasuke very attentively.

"Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto called out to Uchiha Sasuke.

"I really don't know how you feel right now, but are you going to sever all your ties with Konoha just because of this? Do you know how much effort everyone has put in to bring you back?!"

Uzumaki Naruto shouted angrily.

"It's none of my business. I never told you to come to me."

Uchiha Sasuke's casual tone made Uzumaki Naruto even more angry.

"hateful!"

Uzumaki Naruto clenched his fists and looked at Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sasuke!!! Is your head filled with Orochimaru's venom? If so, I will beat everything out of your brain! Even if I have to break my arms and legs! I will bring you back to Konoha!"

"Why!!!"

Listening to Uzumaki Naruto's words, Hotaruka's mind suddenly appeared the image of Uzumaki Naruto with broken hands and feet, and then he was holding Uchiha Sasuke's clothes in his mouth, dragging Uchiha Sasuke, and crawling quickly.

"How scary!"

Firefly Grass hugged Dandelion and trembled.

"Well, if it doesn't work, you can go back with him."

Firefly spoke in a low voice, but neither of them heard what Firefly said because their attention was on each other.

"Ha~"

Uchiha Sasuke chuckled, with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes, he said: "Just relying on your inferiority complex, you think you can defeat me? Humph! Then let's fight!"

Uchiha Sasuke said this and left quickly, and Uzumaki Naruto immediately chased after him.

"Wait, not over there!"

Firefly Grass shouted anxiously, and then tried to chase after him.

"Konoha Tornado!"

A green figure kicked towards the firefly grass.

"Ah."

Firefly Grass looked at the green figure kicking towards him in a daze.

"Tsk! Idiot."

Yingcao only felt his neck tighten, and then his whole body was pulled back quickly.

"Idiot! What are you doing standing there?"

Madara put down the firefly grass and said with disgust.

"Master Madara, you won!"

Hotaruka didn't think about whether he was injured, but directly asked whether Madara won.

"Humph! It's just a toad that looks like a mid-level monster. How can I not be able to defeat it?"

Ban raised his chin slightly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Rock Lee fell to the ground with grief and anger in his eyes.

Were they the ones who killed Neji? Damn it, if I hadn't accidentally gotten injured during training yesterday, I would have been sent to the hospital and watched by several nurses.

I would definitely go with them on this mission, so that Neji wouldn't die. It's all my fault!

Rock Lee thought angrily.

Neji! I will avenge you!

Rock Lee thought so, and then began to face the ignorant Firefly Grass and the seemingly powerful and actually very powerful Madara.

That wolf-like animal should be her summoned beast. Judging from the fact that she didn't dodge my attack just now, she must not be good at physical skills.

Teacher Kai said that when encountering this type of ninja, you must use your best physical skills, quickly approach the opponent, and then attack without leaving any chance.

Now, as long as we bypass the summoned beast, we can easily subdue the opponent!

Rock Lee thought so and rushed towards Firefly Grass quickly.

Madara picked up Firefly Grass by the back of his collar, threw it up, and then slapped Rock Lee.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Firefly Grass kept screaming, and then fell into the very soft hair.

"Madara, Madara-sama!"

Firefly Grass climbed up anxiously and wanted to get off Madara and help him.

"Stay up there and don't come down."

Madara said as he began to fight Rock Lee.

Listening to what Madara said, a hint of loss appeared in Firefly's eyes.

"Am I holding back Master Madara?"

"Hmph! Just stay there quietly, and don't let your imagination run wild."

After saying this, Madara stopped paying attention to Firefly Grass and fought seriously with Rock Lee.

Mr. Madara~

Firefly looked at Madara with emotion.

Seriously, this guy’s strength is almost catching up with Reiko’s guy.

Quick victory!

Madara thought so, and Rock Lee thought so too.

"The fifth gate, the wounding gate, open!!!"

Rock Lee, whose whole body was red, endured the pain all over and used Lilianhua on Madara.

So fast!

"Oh!"

Madara was suddenly punched into the ground by Rock Lee.

"Madara-sama!"

Hotaru hurriedly began to treat Madara.

Rock Lee did not give Madara a chance to recover. He clenched his fists and attacked him madly.

"Madara-sama!!!!"

Seeing Madara like this, Firefly Grass was so anxious that she almost cried.

"Stay away from Madara-sama!"

Firefly Grass said, holding the dandelion tightly and swinging it towards Rock Lee.

A sonic boom-like sound rang in Rock Lee's ears, and then Rock Lee felt a force coming towards him.

Can't escape!

"Oh!"

A figure just flew out.

"Gaba!"

Rock Lee instantly felt several of his ribs broken.

"Master Madara, I will be able to finish the treatment very soon."

Firefly Grass was anxiously treating Madara.

"I'm fine, I was just careless for a moment."

Madara got up from the ground, looked at Rock Lee lying on the ground, and decided to give him the final blow.

"Wow!"

Countless sands suddenly appeared and blocked Madara's claws.

"One, two, can't you just let me complete the task properly?"

Ban was a little angry.

With Madara as the center, countless evil winds blew up, blowing away all the sand that wanted to approach, making it impossible for it to get close.

here!

Madara gathered strength in his claws, then swung them in one direction.

And the one standing there was Gaara.

After seeing Madara's attack, Gaara directly controlled the sand to protect himself.

"Tsk! Such hard sand."

After seeing that the claw attack didn't hurt Gaara at all, Madara opened his mouth.

Balls of strange flames shot towards Gaara.

Gaara didn't take it seriously until he saw the sand melting. He instantly realized that this was not an ordinary flame, but a flame with an abnormally high temperature.

At this point, Gaara's sand is not enough for him to protect himself, so...

Gaara quickly formed hand seals and decided to turn everything around him that could be turned into sand.

"Ninja Technique: Flowing Sand Waterfall!"

All the ground centered on Gaara turned into sand, and along with the strange fire, it rushed towards Madara.

The surrounding green land instantly turned into a large area of ​​sand.

Gaara controlled the sand to wrap around Madara.

"Sand Falls Burial!"

The sand that wrapped around Ban kept tightening, and the strong pressure kept compressing him.

What a troublesome guy.

Madara thought so in his heart.

But this won't kill me!!!

The originally soft long hair on Ban's body suddenly became extremely hard, blocking the sand from approaching.

Madara took a deep breath and blew a breath of demonic fire at the sand wall in front of him.

Soon, the hard sand was melted by Madara's demonic fire.

"Sand boy, you have successfully made me want to fight."

Madara said with some excitement, seeming to arch his back and quickly launch an attack.

"So fast!"

Before Gaara's sand could react, it was thrown away by Madara's tail.

Shazi chased Gaara madly, trying to catch him.

But at the same time, Madara had appeared above Gaara and slapped Gaara who was "flying" in the air.

"Oh!"

Gaara was smashed to the ground heavily, and the sand armor on his body shattered.

"Hey! Sand boy, if this is all you have, I'm disappointed!"

Ban flew in the air, not forgetting to taunt the opponent.

"Didi, Didi!"

The alarm clock rang urgently, and Yingcao took it out from behind.

"Master Madara, it's time to leave here."

Looking at Ban who was in high spirits, Yingcao reminded him in a low voice.

"Huh? Is it time so soon?"

Madara said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey! Little Shazi, I'm in a hurry this time, so I'll let you go, but I won't let you go so easily next time."

Madara said as he flew away with Firefly Grass.

"hateful!"

Gaara raised his hand and tried to control the sand to catch Madara, but he was still a step too slow and could only watch Madara leave.

On the other side, Madara was following Uchiha Sasuke's breath, trying to catch up with him.

Soon, Madara was in the Valley of the End.

"found it."

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto fighting below, Madara landed on the head of Uchiha Madara's stone statue with Firefly Grass and turned back into a cat.
