章節 64: Chapter 64 I Might Not Be Human, But You're Definitely a Dog
"The Hokage is really strong. How could he die?" Pakkun glanced at Naruto, "Konoha has been in chaos before, and it turned out fine."
"But I bought flower." Naruto said out of nowhere.
In his heart, he added, 'If Sandaime doesn't die, wouldn't the flower I have bought be wasted?'
"Huh? What flower?" Pakkun looked confused.
Naruto didn't reply, just muttering in his heart about how he specifically bought the best white chrysanthemum for 30 ryo.
"There are enemies chasing us, about eight of them." Pakkun suddenly said.
As Kakashi's Ninken, Pakkun's sense of smell was exceptionally keen, even among other Ninken. moment the enemies appeared behind them, Pakkun easily sensed their presence and counted their numbers.
"Pakkun, can you sense their strength?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm a sensory Ninken, not some fortune-telling toad sage."
"If we don't deal with them soon, we'll end up being attacked from both sides, right?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, we need to take care of them first." Sasuke said, "The terrain of Konoha Forest is favorable to us. If we set up an ambush, we might be able to catch them off guard."
"In that case, let's do it!" Naruto nodded seriously.
"Pakkun, stay behind and ambush them."
"What!!!"
Sasuke: "…"
Sakura: "(T-T)"
The forest was lush and green, with giant trees blocking out the sun. The three of them, plus Pakkun, moved swiftly, leaping from tree to tree.
Pakkun looked at the blond boy in the team with contempt. The latter did not show any guilt on his face and even showed a serious smile.
"We're counting on you, Pakkun."
"Damn it! I'm a sensory Ninken, not a fighting dog. If you want to make a wish, go to a shrine! Brat, you're definitely a dog!"
"What does it matter? You won't die."
"But it'll hurt! Damn it! How did Kakashi end up with a student like you?"
"Ninken are also Shinobi, right? Isn't endurance a virtue?"
"Be a human, please! I'm begging you!"
Listening to the quarrel between a man and a dog, Sasuke's face was full of black lines, and he coldly interrupted them.
"Stop arguing! Pakkun, how far are the enemies?"
"Less than 3,000 meters."
Sasuke stopped, leaned against a tree, then turned to look at Sakura and Naruto, and said, "We'll wait for them here."
The surrounding branches and leaves were dense, casting dim light on the area. The towering trees blocked out most of the sunlight, and the few beams that made it through were sparse, creating thin, nearly transparent wisps of mist in the air.
Before the battle began, Naruto suddenly spoke up, "Sakura, get ready with the Genjutsu."
"The Otogakure's Shinobi are too strong. We have to be careful."
Hearing this, Sakura nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.
Pakkun, on the other hand, felt a bit nervous. During the mission in the Land of Waves, Zabuza and Haku had died too quickly, so Kakashi hadn't summoned the Ninken to assist him in battle. As a result, Pakkun wasn't fully aware of the strength of Kakashi's three students.
Pakkun glanced to the side, noticing that the normally indifferent Sasuke's eyes had turned blood-red, an intense and frightening sight.
Then, looking the other way, he saw Naruto pulling out a sword from seemingly nowhere.
'Huh??? A sword??'
'Wait a minute, where did this kid pull out that sword from? It looks so familiar. Isn't that the same kind of sword Kakashi used when he was in the Anbu?'
Sakura's mind was in chaos. Facing the imminent battle, she was almost too nervous to stop her frantic, uncontrollable thoughts.
The medical department was almost full of weirdos, and it was common to see them performing surgery with a Chakra Scalpel while casually chatting. Sometimes, with a pot simmering on the stove with a patient's leg bone, the Medical-nin would discuss which shop in Konoha had the best bone broth.
Over time, Sakura thought she had grown desensitized, and as long as things weren't too outrageous, her heart wouldn't be shaken.
But now, the more nervous she got, the more her mind was zapped by all sorts of random thoughts.
During her month of training in the medical department, she often afraid that something might happen to Sasuke. safety. But the more she worried, the more odd thoughts would pop into her head.
For example, she really hoped Sasuke is seriously injured and dying, so that she can see him.
Three kilometers wasn't a long distance, leaving the group little time to prepare.
"They're here!" Parker reminded.
Sakura steeled herself, watching as several shadows quickly descended from the trees in the distance. She swiftly formed hand seals, casting a Genjutsu in advance.
The light around them flickered, and the forest seemed to take on an unreal quality. The eight Otogakure's Shinobi, who landed nearby, immediately sensed something was off, but it was already too late.
The eight masked Shinobi, wearing Otogakure's forehead protectors, landed in a triangular formation, scanning their surroundings warily.
Suddenly, several kunai shot out from the trees, sharp and precise like arrows. But the Otogakure's Shinobi merely sneered and leapt away.
At the moment they jumped, something unexpected happened.
The nearly invisible steel wires in the air tightened abruptly. Four of the Otogakure's Shinobi, who were deeply trapped in the Genjutsu and had slow reactions, did not noticed the steel wires at all. They only realized something was wrong when they were instantly restrained and tied tightly to the tree trunk.
'That's the Uchiha Clan's Windmill Triple Blade!' Pakkun, hidden in the shadows, was stunned.
On the battlefield, the Uchiha Clan was renowned not only for their Sharingan and taijutsu, but also for their nearly mystical Shurikenjutsu. Shurikenjutsu was a fundamental secret skill of the Uchiha, and the Windmill Triple Blade, which combined shuriken with steel wires, was a more intricate technique.
Sasuke controlled the steel wires with his hands and teeth, tightening them with force. At the same time, he released the steel wires and quickly formed the 'Tiger' hand seal.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!
Sasuke flawlessly executed the C-Rank offensive Ninjutsu he had used against Orochimaru in the Forest of Death. The fire directly engulfed the four bound Otogakure's Shinobi, and in the next moment, Sasuke activated his Chidori, charging forward to finish them off.
On the other side, Naruto and Sakura coordinated to deal with the remaining four Otogakure's Shinobi in a brief moment of stunned surprise in mid-air, thanks to the Genjutsu.
Naruto swiftly stabbed one in the neck with his sword, and blood splattered immediately.
Before the blood could even stain his clothes, Naruto's figure vanished. The Flying Thunder God kunai had just reached the air above the other two Shinobi's heads. Naruto directly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, stored the sword into the seal space, and instantly activated his Lava Release.
Same old formula, same old taste.
Naruto slapped the two stunned Otogakure's Shinobi in the face, scalding them with lava, killing them instantly.
The last Shinobi was already hit in the throat by two of Sakura's kunai, ending his life.
The eight Otogakure's Shinobi, two entire squads, were annihilated in an instant. Pakkun, hiding in the shadows, nearly spat out blood.
'This is what you meant by 'the Otogakure's Shinobi are too strong'?'

章節 65: Chapter 65 Beg For Mercy?
"The enemies are too scary." Naruto complained as he moved away.
"Mm-hmm," Sakura nodded in agreement.
In this ambush battle, tactics like long-range Genjutsu combined with kunai throwing were the wisest choice. Even though she has mastered the Chakra Scalpel Technique, Medical-nin shouldn't engage in close combat unless absolutely necessary.
Not everyone is Tsunade. That princess with extraordinary strength and nearly immortal health-recovering Ninjutsu can only be described as legendary.
Pakkunsaid nothing and remained silent throughout.
Sasuke kept a blank expression, occasionally asking Pakkun how far they were from Gaara while on the move.
"Hey, Pakkun, who do you think is stronger, Sandaime Hokage or Orochimaru?" Naruto asked out of boredom.
Pakkun was somewhat speechless. Although he didn't want to pay attention to this blond kid, he had to since they were on a mission together.
"Orochimaru is Sandaime Hokage's disciple. As everyone know, a disciple certainly cannot beat his teacher."
"That's not necessarily true." Naruto said, "People's reactions and physical strength will decline as they get older, and Orochimaru looks pretty young."
"You little brat, are you hoping something happens to the Sandaime Hokage?" Pakkun sensed something amiss and looked at Naruto speechlessly.
"How could that be? I'm a law-abiding villager." Naruto chuckled.
After a while, he broke the silence again.
"Pakkun, Orochimaru is still stronger, right?"
"We're almost catching up." Pakkun reminded them solemnly.
Upon hearing this, both Sasuke and Sakura frowned, but Naruto didn't feel anything. He had no interest in carrying out such a mission.
'It's purely because of work. I don't want to chase Gaara at all. I really wanted to attend Sandaime's funeral later, though I'd probably be stuck at the kids' table.'
As he thought this, Pakkun suddenly stopped.
Naruto focused ahead and saw Temari, Kankuro and Gaara at the front staring at the three humans and one dog.
"Uchiha Sasuke!" Gaara seemed to be in an excited state, his eyes fixed firmly on Sasuke.
'Ignoring me? That's perfect.' Naruto looked like he didn't want to exert himself in a fight. He put his hands behind his head as he quietly moved aside.
According to tradition, evenly matched opponents will engage in verbal banter before a fight.
Team 7 had just finished a battle and were happy to rest a bit longer. Sasuke didn't move either, returning Gaara's gaze with the same intensity. He then took out shuriken from his ninja pouch and said, " Where do you think you're running off to? Let's just finish this unfinished match."
"Do you think you have a chance of winning?" Gaara stood on a high tree trunk, with arms crossed, looking down at Sasuke.
"Only one way to find out." Sasuke smirked.
"Sasuke means you're incapable." Naruto suddenly translated, "He could beat you with his feet tied."
Sasuke looked confused and turned to look at Naruto.
Naruto gave him a knowing look and whispered softly, "I think you're being too modest. Let me help you translate it properly."
Clearly, Gaara was doubly provoked, his eyes turning red, looking like he was about to go berserk.
"You are asking for death, Uchiha Sasuke, I'm going to kill you!"
"I hope you don't lose too embarrassingly."
"He said he didn't want to lose to an ugly freak."
Sasuke: "????"
"Uchiha!! Sasuke!!"
Temari, quick on the draw, pulled out her fan and shouted at Kankuro, "Quick! Get Gaara out of here. We can't let him lose control!"
"I'll hold them off!"
Kankuro gritted his teeth, reluctantly grabbed Gaara's arm, and said, "The plan comes first. Control yourself."
Sure enough, when Gaara heard the word 'plan', his anger subsided a little, and he allowed Kankuro to lead him away.
Temari swung her fan, and a fierce wind swept through the forest, kicking up leaves and debris, making it hard to see. Naruto, not wanting to chase after Gaara, eagerly volunteered, "Sasuke, Sakura, you two go ahead. I'll handle this one!"
Naruto's plan was to fight Temari here, stalling just enough before heading over to join the main battle, hoping to sneak in a surprise attack while Gaara and Sasuke were evenly matched.
It is a brilliant tactic, killing two birds with one stone, both slacking off and working at the same time.
It was obviously unrealistic to let Sakura stay to deal with Temari. A As a long-range Genjutsu-using Medical-nin, she would stand no chance against Temari, who could fight both at range and up close. And Naruto didn't want to get entangled with Gaara, so...
"Alright, be careful."
With that, Sasuke dashed off in the other direction, with Sakura and Pakkun following closely behind.
"You think you can just leave? Not happening!"
Temari growled as she sent another gust of wind toward Sasuke and the others, trying to block their route.
"Hey, you pervy-looking woman, your opponent is me."
How could Naruto let Temari interfere with his plan to slack off?
'Sasuke had to be the hero, and only he could take down Gaara! Maybe he could awaken 3-Tomoe Sharingan after being beaten up, wouldn't that be great? It's a win-win situation.'
Wind Release: Blade of Wind!
Several blades of wind appeared in the air, colliding with the gusts from Temari's fan, eventually canceling each other out.
Before leaving, Sasuke glanced at Naruto. He was a little dissatisfied with Naruto's sudden use of Wind Release Ninjutsu he'd never seen before.
He had just learned Chidori, and now this guy had a new Ninjutsu too. The pressure to keep up was becoming overwhelming for Sasuke.
"What did you call me?" Temari was furious.
"A pervy woman." Naruto repeated.
"Go to hell!" Temari was so enraged by Naruto's words that she no longer cared about stopping Sasuke.
She fully opened her three-star fan, unleashing a gust of wind several times stronger than before. The huge fan stirred up a massive windstorm.
"Ninja Art: Wind Sandstorm Technique!"
Seeing that he had successfully provoked Temari, Naruto had no intention of facing her head-on. He suddenly retreated and hid behind the trunk of a giant tree.
"Women are scary when they're angry," Naruto muttered, taking a deep breath.
Suddenly, the mechanical voice echoed in his mind again, and the options panel popped up instantly.
[Option 1: Make Temari beg for mercy. Reward: Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains.]
[Option 2: Make Gaara beg for mercy. Reward: The full power of Shukaku.]
As soon as the options came out, Naruto's mind started buzzing.
'Begging for mercy? What kind of nonsense is that'
'Making Temari beg for mercy is possible by beating her into submission. But, with Gaara's gloomy personality, how could he beg for mercy? There's no way he'd beg, not even if he was about to die.'
'Shukaku's combat power is probably ranked among the top four of the Biju. It's a pity to give it up, but it's also a bit of a gamble.'
'Choosing option 1 meant I'd have to wrap things up for Sasuke later.'
'If I could make Temari beg for mercy, then I could use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind Shukaku, giving it the same treatment as Kurama. That would be satisfying.'
'But if Temari refused to beg, I could just head straight for Gaara and use the Four Symbols Seal to pull Shukaku and Gaara into the seal space. At that time, Temari would definitely have to submit for her brother's sake.'
'Temari, you wouldn't want Gaara to die forever, would you?'
