Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

"Take this!"

Naruto leaped down from the treetops, his Rasengan aimed at Sasuke.

Intense lightning exploded in Sasuke's hand.

Countless electrical sounds mingled throughout the forest.

The Rasengan and Chidori collided.

A blinding white light engulfed the two figures.

Since neither of them would die, Rei Amamiya let them fight as they pleased.

The storm of Rasengan and Chidori exploded in the forest.

Sakura stopped what she was doing and looked at the burst of light between the branches, her pupils widening slightly: "Sasuke! Naruto!"

She instinctively rushed towards the two people.

Muzan placed his hand on her shoulder.

Sakura turned around in a panic, but Muzan calmly said to her, "What's the rush? Isn't the Hokage here?"

Muzan's words immediately calmed Sakura down.

That's right!

With the Hokage here, Naruto and Sasuke will be fine.

Muzan removed his hand from Sakura's shoulder, and the split version of his fist slammed towards Sakura.

Sakura immediately raised her arms to defend herself, but the force of the split body still made her arms numb and almost numb.

The storm gradually subsided.

Sasuke and Naruto each fell onto a thick tree branch.

Naruto felt a sharp pain in his arm, and red chakra enveloped his wound. After a while, the pain subsided.

The battle is not over yet!

Naruto jumped onto the tree branch where Sasuke was.

The moment Naruto stood up, Sasuke hid in the tree canopy.

Blood dripped from Sasuke's arm.

Sasuke felt a sharp burning sensation on his neck.

His blood felt like it was about to boil.

The pain rendered him unable to move.

But are we going to lose to Naruto?

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The wind howled, causing the trees to sway violently and the heavy leaves to be blown up, revealing Sasuke's figure.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he bared his fangs at Sasuke, punching him in the cheek.

"Sasuke, I won..."

Naruto's excited voice rang out.

Sasuke's Sharingan contracted, and Naruto's fist stopped at the tip of his nose.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Sasuke's vision blurred.

He lost?

His hand dangled on the branch.

Naruto reached out to Sasuke, intending to carry him down, but Sasuke slapped him away.

Naruto looked at his reddened hand and stared blankly at Sasuke, who had no expression on his face.

"Sasuke..."

Naruto shouted.

Sasuke climbed up from the tree branch on his own, jumped down, and the pain in his arms and neck made him stumble and almost fall to the ground.

His unsteady body was supported by Rei Amamiya's hand.

Sasuke didn't look up; he didn't want to make eye contact with anyone.

"You're injured."

Rei Amamiya placed his hand over Sasuke's wound.

A green light shone from his hands.

Sasuke's arm wound gradually healed under the Healing Palm Technique.

Naruto jumped down from the tree branch and stood next to Rei Amamiya, looking at Sasuke in front of him, unsure of what to say.

Sasuke seems unhappy?

"Sasuke, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Don't rush things, take it slow."

Rei Amamiya glanced meaningfully at the curse mark on Sasuke's neck.

He knew how to provoke Sasuke.

A casual remark, "Don't rush things, take it slow," made Sasuke suddenly raise his scarlet eyes.

"Take it slow, when will I be able to get revenge on that man!"

Sasuke excitedly shouted at Rei Amamiya.

Naruto was startled by Sasuke's sudden outburst of intense emotions.

Before Amamiya Rei could respond, Sasuke suddenly ran away, his figure quickly disappearing from Amamiya Rei's sight.

"Sister, Sasuke..."

Naruto looked in the direction Sasuke had left, then looked at Rei Amamiya with concern.

Rei Amamiya patted his head reassuringly: "Don't worry, Sasuke is just too anxious. He'll be fine once he figures things out."

Naruto nodded.

"Sakura!"

A dark shadow suddenly flashed through Naruto's vision.

Sakura chased after Sasuke in the direction he had left.

Muzan approached Naruto and said, "Sakura has made great progress lately!"

Naruto scratched his head. Shouldn't he be worried about Sasuke right now?

Even Sakura has made such great progress, so Sasuke, whose strength has remained stagnant, can't hold back any longer.

Muzan stroked his chin and looked at Naruto: "Want to train?"

Naruto was still worried about Sasuke: "What about Sasuke?"

Muzan said nonchalantly, "Didn't Sakura go after them? Don't worry! Sasuke will come to his senses."

Rei Amamiya: "..."

The word "understand" could never apply to Uchiha Sasuke.

Naruto will find out later.

the other side.

Sakura followed closely behind Sasuke.

Her worried gaze fell on Sasuke.

Sudden.

Sasuke, who was ahead, stopped in his tracks.

Sakura also stopped and looked nervously at Sasuke's back.

"Don't follow me."

Sasuke's cold warning came from ahead.

Sakura's eyes immediately reddened.

She didn't dare follow Sasuke after he had gone far away.

Sasuke had no destination in mind and kept walking forward.

The image of Itachi Uchiha kept flashing through his mind, along with the echoes of Itachi's cold, mocking words.

Sasuke clenched his fist.

He wandered further and further away from the bustling center of Konoha, eventually arriving at the outskirts of the village.

That is, the former territory of the Uchiha clan.

Standing in front of the Uchiha clan's gate.

Sasuke could almost still smell the nauseating stench of blood.

He crossed the cordon and entered the Uchiha clan territory, which was sealed off by Konoha.

Although the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up, Sasuke still clearly remembered the horrific scene before the cleanup.

Step by step, Sasuke arrived at his doorstep.

He stood there, too afraid to go in.

Four shadows appeared silently behind him.

Sasuke's pupils contracted, and he turned around abruptly.

Four completely unfamiliar figures were reflected in his pupils.

……

"Sakura?"

Kakashi looked at Sakura, who was on the verge of tears, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Kakashi led Sakura into a ramen shop on the street.

After ordering two bowls of ramen, he listened quietly as Sakura recounted what had happened.

Kakashi frowned slightly: "The Hokage wants Naruto and Sasuke to fight?"

Sakura nodded and explained, "Only in this way can the Hokage better understand Naruto and Sasuke's strength."

A strange feeling arose in Kakashi's heart. He didn't dwell on the topic any further, but instead asked, "Did Sasuke lose?"

Sakura was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Kakashi-sensei, will Sasuke be alright with that thing on him?"

The black curse mark resurfaced in Sakura's mind.

Kakashi smiled and comforted Sakura: "Don't worry, Sakura, everything will be alright. I've already sealed that cursed seal."

Chapter 465 I can't do anything against Sasuke's will!!!

It's another morning.

The Hokage's office.

Rei Amamiya was sitting in a chair. Even before he entered, he could hear hurried footsteps and breathing.

"I want to see the Hokage!"

Sakura's voice came from outside the door.

Before the ANBU ninja could announce her arrival, Rei Amamiya said, "Let her in."
