Naruto: First Love

Chapter 401 Defection

Sasuke defected as expected.

A few days later in the evening, Orochimaru's men came to pick up Sasuke.

Koko was really discussing with Shizune how to restore Lee's health after his surgery when she heard the news that Sasuke had defected.

The first time Shikamaru, who was promoted to Chunin first, led the team into battle was to chase after Sasuke.

Afterwards, Xiao Li, who had just undergone surgery, also joined the team forcefully, but was half a beat behind.

Because of Li's joining, Kai had to ask Xinzi to go and take care of Li, so Xinzi had to go to the route they were chasing.

However, perhaps because Xinzi was relatively strong and good at speed, he quickly caught up with Xiao Li and even surpassed him.

Well, seeing Xiao Li chasing from behind, Xinzi thought about it and decided to go ahead and find Naruto and the others.

She was fast and soon caught up with Choji who was fighting with a very fat man. Seeing that their fight was over and Choji fell to the ground weakly, Xinzi hesitated for a moment, but still went down to check Choji's injuries.

He was injured in many places, his chakra was consumed too much, and his body was in an extremely exhausted state. Xinzi threw him on the ground and used chakra to heal him, simply holding on to his breath and waiting for the people behind to take him back.

Afterwards, Xinzi set off again.

When Shinko arrived at the battlefield between Neji and Kidomaru, she happened to see the two of them falling down together.

Xinzi was startled and rushed to Neji quickly, catching him before he fell to the ground: "Ningji!"

Ningci's eyes flashed, and when he saw her, he suddenly smiled faintly, and then he completely lost consciousness. She was extremely worried, and laid Ningci flat, only to see the big wound on his chest, which went straight through his body from behind!

Such a serious injury?
How come Neji's strength hasn't improved? Or is he so badly injured?
Xinzi frowned tightly and kept outputting her chakra, trying to save Neci's life.

But she is not specialized in treating this type of wounds, but in the Sharingan. She can only ensure that Neci will not die, but cannot make his wounds heal on their own.

Xinzi thought about it and decided to freeze his wound with ice, and then reduce all the functions of Neji's body to the minimum, without consuming energy and bleeding.

When the ninja who came later took Neci away, Neci was still unconscious. Xinzi felt some resentment in his heart, and when he passed by Kidomaru's body, he stepped hard on it.

But the person was already dead, and even if she vented her anger, Ningji would not wake up. Xinzi could only vent her anger for a while before leaving in anger.

Shinko didn't go to see where Shikamaru and Tayuya were fighting, but like Lee, she went to the battlefield where Kimimaro left with Sasuke.

Because of his treatment of Neji, Rock Lee came from behind and caught up with Naruto and Kimimaro.

When she arrived, Xiao Li was drunk and fighting drunkenly with Kimimaro.

When he was about to rush over to save Xiao Li, a cloud of sand suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Li and directly blocked Kimimaro's attack.

Xinzi was stunned for a moment, so she didn't rush over immediately. Gaara, is he here to rescue me?

When did Konoha and Sunagakure form an alliance? Well, anyway, Kokoro is always watching them, so nothing will happen.

Kimimaro was very powerful. Even the Sand Coffin that had severely injured Lee so badly that he could no longer become a ninja could not do anything to him.

Kimimaro was obviously unwilling to give in, and displayed the second form of his curse seal, rushing towards Gaara. The appearance of that monster made Xinzi frown hard, and slowly approached the battlefield.

Is that the power of the curse seal? It allows a person to exert energy stronger than oneself, overdrawing one's life and potential. It seems to be a good power, but it comes with countless side effects. Will these things happen to Sasuke?
Thinking about Sasuke growing a tail or multiple tails, and looking ugly, makes my head hurt. Ugly rejection!
"Sandstorm Gaara, is this all you can do?" After knocking Gaara backwards and throwing him to the ground, he said indifferently. Although his tone was very indifferent, it was also unpleasant. Gaara got up from the ground, and the sand mask that fell off when he was hit also began to recover.

Kimimaro suddenly realized, "It turns out that the surface is covered with a layer of sand."

Seeing this opportunity, Xiao Li wanted to help Gaara and prove himself, so he immediately rushed behind the stunned Kimimaro, "Don't forget I'm here!"

When Xinzi saw him rushing forward, she quickly followed him and pulled Xiao Li aside before Kimimaro's attack arrived.

Xiao Li was saved by her and was stunned for a moment, "Usami?"

Koko rolled her eyes, "Are you looking for death? You're doing strenuous exercise right after the surgery. I don't want Tenten to say that I didn't take good care of you two when I go back! Really! We don't know if Neji is alive or dead yet. If you don't know if he's dead or alive either, Tenten will probably blame me to death!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Li was shocked by her words, "Does anyone know whether Ningci is alive or dead?"

"Ah, don't worry." Xinzi carried him aside and did not join the battle. "I handed him over to the medical team. He is seriously injured, but his life is not in danger for the time being."

Really, one or two of Orochimaru's subordinates, are they that powerful? Xinzi's dissatisfaction made Kimimaro even more displeased.

She has been dissatisfied with Orochimaru for a long time.

Kimimaro looked at her in surprise, and when he realized she was someone he didn't know, he turned his gaze to Gaara.

Xinzi's height and age indicate that he is not of the same age as Gaara and the others. Even if he is strong, he is not much stronger. Moreover, he wants to compete with Gaara. Xinzi pouted and looked at Gaara, "Thank you for coming to save Xiao Li. Now I leave this guy to me."

Gaara glanced at her, neither nodded nor shook his head, and stood quietly not far away.

Li thought she looked down on Gaara, and quickly explained: "He is very strong."

Xinzi rolled her eyes, but it was obvious that Kimimaro was stronger, okay?

It’s just a pity that he doesn’t have a good body.

Xinzi could see that Kimimaro's condition was really bad. He was almost at the end of his rope, if not the end of his life.

Terminal illness.

Seeing that no one appreciated her kindness, Xinzi shook her head and thought, forget it, she decided to go after Naruto and Sasuke. She hoped that the two of them would be more restrained and not make such big moves.

Behind him, Gaara and Kimimaro attacked again.

But unfortunately, due to his physical condition, Kimimaro was unable to exert his full strength. In the end, even using the Early Warabi Dance failed to hurt Gaara, and he finally vomited blood and died.

Originally, when she saw Kimimaro rushing out, Xinzi wanted to turn back to help, but she keenly realized that Kimimaro could no longer move, so she ignored them and went to chase Naruto and Sasuke.

In the Valley of the End, we finally saw the two men fighting.

They released their most powerful ninjutsu against each other and fought desperately.

Koko could see that even with Naruto appearing in the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Coat, he was still not as strong as Sasuke.

Sasuke's strength increased not only because of his own strength, but also because of the power of the curse seal.

Seeing Sasuke knock Naruto unconscious and fall on the water, Xinzi jumped out, twisted Naruto and threw him on the shore.

Seeing Xinzi's appearance, Sasuke came back to his senses from his shock, looked at Naruto with a complicated look, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Be careful. I believe you can get through safely in more than two years." Xinzi watched him leave. His lonely figure was particularly desolate. She couldn't help but say, "If Orochimaru wants to do something to you, remember to tell me. I will help you!"
