Chapitre 22: Chapter 22: Fighting Out of Konoha
Konoha Hospital.
According to the doctor's examination, Sasuke had no external injuries but suffered a significant mental shock and needed to stay in bed for at least half a month. Unfortunately, the doctor was unaware of Sasuke's unique healing abilities.
With the powerful recovery effect of his body, Sasuke recovered more than half in just a few days. However, he was still brooding over his defeat at the hands of Itachi. At the same time, the idea of leaving Konoha to find an opportunity to become stronger was more urgent than ever.
That day, Sasuke left the ward without telling anyone. Just after leaving the hospital, he saw several people dressed as "Anbu" grabbing a girl. The girl was Karin, whom Sasuke had met once before.
The Anbu grabbed Karin's hair, saying, "From another village? I can tell at a glance that you are a spy. Take her back and interrogate her!"
Karin was terrified, "I'm not a spy, I'm not!"
With a snap, the Anbu hit Karin hard in the face. "Shut up!"
Karin's cheeks swelled, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. Sasuke's face darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but want to intervene.
At that moment, Karin shouted, "Sasuke, run! They're here to catch you!"
Sasuke was shocked and immediately became alert. The Anbu looked back and found Sasuke, saying disdainfully, "Run? This kid is seriously injured; where can he run?"
Sasuke's eyes were stern. It seemed that what the red-haired girl said was true; these Anbu were indeed coming for him.
The Anbu said arrogantly, "The Hokage wants to see you. Follow us obediently!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "The Third Hokage has passed away, and the Fifth Hokage has not yet taken office. Who are you?"
The Anbu was angry. "Damn, I was careless. Come on, catch him!"
As soon as the words fell, three Anbu rushed over. Sasuke sneered and used the Sharingan to subdue the three directly with an illusion. Unfortunately, even under the illusion, they did not reveal any valuable information. It was clear these Anbu had been strictly trained, and the people behind them must be extraordinary.
At this time, Karin was anxious. "Sasuke, quickly escape from Konoha; it will be too late."
"Who are you, and why do you say that?"
Karin was incoherent. "It's me, it's... the Chunin Exam, the Forest of Death, you saved me from the big black bear..."
After Karin's reminder, Sasuke slowly recalled. "So you are... the grass ninja from that time."
Karin's eyes darkened, and then she took Sasuke's hand. "Let's go, we really can't stay in Konoha!"
Sasuke hurriedly followed. "What's going on?"
"This morning, people in Konoha Village are saying that you are an undercover agent sent by Orochimaru and that the death of the Third Hokage is related to you..."
Sasuke was furious. "Who spread the rumor?"
Karin replied, "I don't know, but the other party is likely someone high up in Konoha. Apart from that, I can't think of anyone who has such great power to spread rumors all over Konoha Village overnight!"
Sasuke frowned. It made sense. But why would the high-level Konoha frame him? Instantly, a flash of inspiration crossed Sasuke's mind. Could it be related to Itachi? Wait, could it also involve the truth of the night of the massacre?
Karin asked with concern, "Sasuke, what's wrong? You look so troubled."
Sasuke forced a smile. "Thank you for helping me, but you should go. I can't drag you down."
Karin was shocked. "Don't chase me away. I don't want to go back to Kusagakure; they'll kill me if I return there!"
"But..."
Just then, the roar of ninjas came from not far away.
"Uchiha Sasuke has defected, and there's a red-haired female spy with him!"
"Catch Uchiha Sasuke!"
The village was in chaos. In the commotion, someone shouted, "Kill Uchiha Sasuke and avenge the Third Hokage!"
Soon, the shouting and chaos shook the sky. Karin trembled, terrified. Sasuke's face changed. "Damn it, don't let me find out who you are! Karin, let's go!"
"I have a name; it's Karin, and Sasuke, where are we going?"
Sasuke said firmly, "Leave Konoha, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
Sasuke is a genius. After having the entry system, his strength is changing with each passing day. In addition, he is very arrogant, so he doesn't bother to defend himself. Besides, he originally planned to leave Konoha. As for taking Karin away, it was purely because he was worried that she would be innocently implicated. Of course, Sasuke has already remembered that he was framed, and he will make the mastermind pay a heavy price as soon as he has the chance!
Soon, the news of Sasuke's defection reached Sakura and Naruto. The two firmly did not believe that Sasuke would betray Konoha. Kakashi did not believe it either. But three people make a tiger; not everyone is wise. Except for a few people, almost everyone in Konoha believed that Sasuke had defected.
A few days later, Tsunade was appointed as the Fifth Hokage. She couldn't stand Naruto and Sakura pestering her all the time, so she agreed to form a five-person team with Sakura, Naruto, Neji, Kiba, and Shikamaru. The team's mission was to track down Sasuke and bring him back to Konoha to find out the truth.
Seven days later, Sasuke and Karin arrived at the Valley of the End.
Karin was curious. "Sasuke, are we really going to wait for the pursuers here?"
She had Kagura's Mind's Eye and had already detected five chakras more than ten miles away, one of which was an extremely powerful and ominous red chakra.
Sasuke looked at the unknown distance. "They are not pursuers, but my partners—no, it should be said... former partners..."
At this point, his expression was indescribably lonely.
At the same time, Kiba said, "Found it, it's in this direction!"
Shikamaru added, "Good job, Neji; I'll leave it to you next."
Neji nodded. "Byakugan!"
Soon, Neji said in a deep voice. "Uchiha Sasuke is found three kilometers ahead."
Naruto was very excited. "Great, we finally caught up with Sasuke!"
Sakura bit her lips, her expression both expectant and afraid. "Sasuke..."
Shikamaru sighed. "Don't be too happy too early; whether you can bring Sasuke back is still unknown."
Naruto rolled up his sleeves. "Even if I have to use force, I will bring Sasuke back to Konoha!"
Turning to Sakura, he said, "Don't worry, I learned a super powerful ninjutsu from 'The Pervy Sage.' If Sasuke dares to say no, I'll beat him into a pig's head and take him back!"
Sakura was encouraged and immediately became full of fighting spirit. "Okay, let's go now, and we must bring Sasuke home!"
Click, click. The gears of fate began to turn at this moment!
