"What happened?" From afar, he saw Sakura unconscious in Sasuke's arms. Kakashi narrowed his eyes and rushed over before the others. He walked up to Sasuke, whose head was lowered and whose expression could not be seen clearly, and gently patted his shoulder.
She seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Looking at the messy surroundings, it seemed that she had gone through a very intense battle. This time, the degree of chaos had probably exceeded the scope of others 'understanding.
Looking at Sakura, who was pale and breathing weakly in Sasuke's arms, Kakashi's expression turned serious. It seemed that the people who came this time were very troublesome. If these few people chased after her, they would probably die. She must have paid a painful price.
"Let's go. Let's bring him back to the medical class first.”He took Sakura, who had lost consciousness, from Sasuke's hands and rushed to the hospital with the people behind him.
Sasuke, on the other hand, deliberately followed a few steps back with a dark expression. His eyes revealed a strong sense of self-blame. He hated himself for being too weak and could not even protect the person he wanted to protect. He even wanted to take revenge. He clenched his fists tightly and his nails pinched his palms hard. Blood dripped out from the gaps between his fingers, but he seemed to be unaware of it. He could not suppress the heaviness in his heart.
Although Xiao Ying's ability was not strong, she always insisted on forcing herself to protect them in her own way. However, what she did not realize was that she was the one who needed protection the most.
This personality was really too silly! Why do you always have to do this for others?
Damn it! No matter what, please don't let anything happen to Xiao Ying.
He frowned as he looked at Okami, who had rushed over after receiving the news. He walked into the emergency room and felt that waiting was such a long and empty thing.
"Sasuke! Teacher Kakashi! What happened? I heard that there was a battle just now and Xiao Ying was seriously injured. How is she? Damn it! Who was it? I want to kill them!" Naruto, who had arrived shortly after, was so excited that he looked like he was about to rush out and fight to the death. Beside him, Kakashi-sensei pulled him back and reprimanded him,
"How? Do you think you can find her now? Xiao Ying didn't have many external injuries. With Lord Fifth Generation around, Xiao Ying would be fine. Also, keep quiet in the hospital.”
He clutched his aching temples. Why were his subordinates all troublesome fellows?
Naruto quieted down after hearing Kakashi's words, but he was still pacing back and forth in frustration at the emergency room's door. He kept muttering, while Sasuke sat on the bench with his hands on his knees in a daze. When he heard Kakashi's unreliable words of comfort, he only raised his head slightly and glanced at him. He kept hypnotizing himself to force himself to believe it.
"Kakashi is right. Naruto, you have to trust Tsunade's abilities.”Sitting on the bench opposite Sasuke, the third generation sighed as he looked at Takashi Haruno, who was comforting his crying wife. His gaze turned to Naruto and echoed Kakashi.
" Ka..." The emergency room door finally opened slowly after a long wait. The emergency light also went out the moment the door opened. Okami walked out of the room in deep thought.
"Master Okate/Granny Okate, how is Sakura?”The few of them stood in front of her and asked in unison.
Placing his hands in the pockets of his white coat, Okami looked around at them and smiled."
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just that Chakra and mental overuse will recover after a period of sleep. Yes, send her to a normal ward." He ordered calmly as he watched the medical staff push Xiao Ying out.
" That's great," Xiao Ying's mother said with a sigh of relief as she caressed her heart that had been clenched for a long time. At this moment, the anxious Naruto exaggeratedly wiped the sweat off his face and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the few people who left, something suddenly flashed in Tsunete's eyes.
----------
In Orochimaru's base
"Looks like…you guys have failed. " You should know the consequences of failure…" Looking at the four people who had lowered their heads after the report, it seemed that they had underestimated the fact that Koba's child could actually withstand the attack of the four people in the second state. Orochimaru, who had just changed his body, was wrapped in bandages. He spoke in a lazy and calm tone, but his eyes revealed a trace of killing intent. The four of them lowered their heads, trembling. Jiro, who couldn't stand the pressure in his heart, finally couldn't help but say,"
"I'm sorry…Lord Orochimaru, please forgive us.”Orochimaru raised his eyebrows when he heard his pleading tone."
"Forgive? I don't like to leave useless chess pieces behind.”Beside them, Duo You was silent for a while. He looked up at Dou as if he was asking for help, but Dou did not react at all. He stood beside Orochimaru and looked at them without moving. It seemed that he could only rely on himself. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Lord Orochimaru, please listen to my explanation. At that time, Sakura deliberately disguised herself as Uchiha Sasuke, and she even had your curse mark on her face, so we didn't suspect that she was fake. Then, when the real Sasuke arrived, we found out that although she had to tell them that they were tricked, she didn't dare to hide anything.
"She seemed to be able to predict some things and deliberately waited for us there, Lord Orochimaru. She was very cunning and had been stalling for time. When the real Sasuke came, she hid for a while. She might have sent a signal for help when we attacked Sasuke. Then she took Sasuke and fled in the direction of Koba, but we blocked her. Then she used a very strange technique. The way she made the seal was completely opposite to ordinary ninjutsu. At that time, the four of our attacks were completely ineffective against her. Her technique was not controlled by chakras at all.”After saying that, he carefully looked at Orochimaru with cold sweat dripping down his face, observing his expression. At this moment, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with interest. He narrowed his eyes.
"Oh? So…what exactly was this spell?”
" This…She was very fast at casting the seal. We were only focused on dodging and could only hear her chanting something about the Dead Soul Formation. At that time, wherever the cold wind passed, the leaves slowly began to turn yellow. The spells that followed were all related to the word 'soul'. In short, when we cast the second seal, we found someone approaching, so we had no choice but to come back…" After pondering for a moment, he emphasized that it was not because of their incompetence that led to the failure.
"If she fought us head-on, she would definitely die. However, from the beginning to the end, she used her physical strength and energy to stall for time and escape.”
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, please allow us to atone for our sins.”The other three said in unison.
"You've already alerted Muye's men. Do you still think you can get close to that place and contact Sasuke under such circumstances?”Dou made a standard gesture of holding his glasses and calmly analyzed.
"We will wait for a while and find an opportunity to go. Even if we lose our lives, we will definitely complete Lord Orochimaru's mission.”Zuo Jin suddenly took a step forward and answered before the others.
