In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The four of them were silent for a moment, and Choji, carrying the injured Inuzuka Kiba on his back, was the first to speak in agreement with Naruto's proposal.

"I think what Naruto said makes sense."

Xiao Li thought for a moment, then gave up thinking.

"me too."

Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuga Neji were seriously injured and had no right to speak, so the resolution passed with a perfect score of 3 to 0. If Shikamaru had a different opinion, it would have been 5 to 1.

"There's movement ahead." The half-dead Inuzuka Kiba said in a muffled voice.

With a hole in his chest, Neji opened his Byakugan again and looked in the direction Inuzuka Kiba had pointed. His vision skipped over the green trees and settled on the forest to the northeast.

"That's close to the Konoha border." Hyuga Neji said, "A little further ahead is the Fire Country Forest. If you go in there, you won't be able to find it at all!"

There is a long, open plain between the Konoha Forest and the Land of Fire. To the west, it is close to the sea, and not far away is the Valley of the End.

"I'll go take a look first." Naruto said after a moment's silence, "You guys..."

Halfway through his words, Neji felt himself flying again, drawing a graceful curve in the air like a small schoolbag thrown after school on Friday at the ninja school.

With a bang, Xiao Li, who had recovered some strength, caught it steadily.

Naruto left in a carefree manner amidst Neji's first scolding, leaving behind a hateful back that said, "This kid deserves to be killed."

the other side.

Shikamaru was forced to retreat and hide by Tayuya who had activated the second state of the curse seal. At the moment when he was about to have a chance to turn the tables, Sasuke broke out of the barrel and fired a fire escape at Shikamaru.

Helpless, Shikamaru had to retreat again.

Shikamaru retreated back into the woods, and Sasuke ran away without looking back. Tayuya was furious, gritting her teeth and playing the flute, just as she was about to kill Shikamaru in one fell swoop.

The sharp sword cuts through the wind, like the whistling wind in the distance, shooting like thunder, piercing like lightning!

With a dull thud, the Kusanagi sword was nailed heavily to the tree.

Tayuya was startled when she saw the sword, and at first thought it was Orochimaru himself, until someone suddenly appeared and landed between Shikamaru and Tayuya.

"Shikamaru, stop it."

The dead leaves on the ground were blown up and wet mud splashed. Naruto stared at Tayuya who had entered the second state of the Curse Seal and said to Shikamaru with his back to her.

"Chouji and the others are injured. There's no point in chasing them any further."

"Damn it, it's already come to this." Shikamaru gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "How are Choji and the others?"

"In the back, I'll be there first."

Listening to the two chatting as if no one was around, Duoyou couldn't hold it in anymore and yelled.

"Hey! You two bastards! Stop ignoring me!"

"Huh?" Shikamaru looked past Naruto and looked at Tayuya. He suddenly became nervous and shouted, "Naruto, come back quickly, that woman is very dangerous."

"Oh oh." Naruto answered perfunctorily, glaring at Tayuya opposite him.

"Tsk." Tayuya in the distance looked unhappy and rolled his eyes.

He held the flute in his hand and shouted.

"Go to hell, you bastards! You and I will all die by my hands!"

Shikamaru's pupils dilated, and the feeling of being dominated by fear surged into his heart again. He suddenly remembered Tayuya's terrifying illusion and shouted again.

"Naruto, come back soon, be careful with her flute!"

"Okay." Naruto said okay, but his body did not move, "Shikamaru, you go first."

As he spoke, Naruto threw something at Tayuya. It wasn't very fast, and it looked like a white stick. Tayuya frowned and reached out to take it.

It was a white bone spur, and it felt as smooth as jade in the hand.

Just one glance and Tayuya's arrogance vanished instantly. It was Kimimaro's bones. Tayuya's scalp tingled. After half a second of thought, she gave up.

Almost completely out of instinct, Duoyou turned around and ran without any hesitation.

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment: "What did you lose?"

"Nothing." Naruto didn't bother to explain to Shikamaru, and left a sentence, "You wait here for them, and retreat quickly after you meet up. You know I can go back by myself."

Then, Naruto pulled away and chased after him.

"Hey!" Shikamaru was still a little confused, his chakra almost running out, "Naruto, don't go! Come back first!!"

"I'm going to bring Sasuke back!" The rest of Naruto's voice echoed through the woods.

In the woods, Shikamaru stood on a tree trunk with injuries, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But at this moment, fatigue surged up, and when he thought of Naruto's words that Choji and the others were injured, he was instantly surrounded by weakness and could not say anything.

Choji and Rock Lee slowly caught up with the seriously injured Neji and Inuzuka Kiba and landed next to Shikamaru.

......

Naruto didn't care which direction Sasuke went and chased Tayuya relentlessly.

He couldn't beat Uchiha Itachi, and he hoped that Uchiha Itachi would die soon every day. Now even opening the door is a shadow. His pain is far greater than Denji's, so how could he stop Sasuke from taking revenge?

"Are you crazy? Are you looking for death by chasing after me instead of Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Kill you!"

"Rubbish!"

Tayuya leaped away in a different direction from Sasuke, contempt and impatience written all over her face.

"Then don't run."

Naruto caught up with Tayuya, shook the Kusanagi sword in his hand and swung it out, cutting several giant trees in half. The fallen trees blocked Tayuya's way.

The latter was furious and simply stopped.

The two men stood on the tree trunk, facing each other, twenty meters apart.

In the second state of the curse seal, Duo Yuya absorbed natural energy and became an immortal. His appearance changed drastically from usual. He had long dark red hair, black skin, deep black eyes, and devil-like horns on his head.

"I might as well kill you right here, you bastard, you piece of trash!" Tayuya took out his flute.

"Sasuke has escaped, and I killed four of the Sound Five." Naruto put away the Kusanagi sword, his eyes fell on Tayuya's dazed face, and his voice became more and more bewitching.

"Orochimaru doesn't need you anymore, Tayuya."

"Impossible!" Tayuya's voice was unconsciously a little flustered when he heard that four people had died in his hands. "My loyalty to Lord Orochimaru..."

"Name your price." Naruto interrupted Tayuya, revealing his true intentions. "Sell me your soul."

Chapter 99: Infinite Debt (1/10 extra chapter for Jackie)

"What were you talking about from the beginning! Go to hell!" Tayuya didn't believe Naruto's nonsense at all.

"I'm serious." Naruto's tone returned to normal. "If I go back now, I'll probably end up gathering dust in a corner."

"The Sound Five no longer exist. So, what is the meaning of your existence?"

"You..." Tayuya clenched his fists. "Impossible! You must be lying to me again! Damn it!"

Naruto paused and said with his hands spread out.

"I don't need to lie to you. Orochimaru has many good children and he doesn't need you. Do you really want to go back? Or have you already thought about the consequences of going back?"

"Stop talking!" Tayuya punched the tree, smashing a hole in it. "No matter what you say, I will never betray Lord Orochimaru!"

With the flute in his hand, Duoyouye's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"If I kill you, I can go back!"

Hearing this, Naruto paused slightly and said "oh".

"That won't work."

"No one wants to ask you, you bastard!" Duoyou was a little overwhelmed.

I can't fight anymore, I can't run anymore.

Is there something wrong with this guy?! No, I have to get rid of him. If I keep listening to him, my will will be shaken. What the hell is that guy saying?

Never mind, never mind! He's just a Genin. For the sake of the red bean bread, just scare him away!

"How much are you going to spend?"

"Ok?"

Seeing Naruto's puzzled expression, Tayuya's lips flashed with a hint of pride, as if he had found some weakness.

"Oh? Are you backing off when you hear about money? You're asking me to sell my soul, huhuhuhu." Tayuya said deliberately, "My soul is very valuable."

"What did Orochimaru give you? I can give you that too." Naruto said, "Sell me your soul and I will pay you three times the price."

"I just want money," Tayuya said.

Naruto was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and asked through gritted teeth as if he had made up his mind.

"How much would you be willing to sell your soul for?"

This question confused Duoyou. Yes, how much does it cost?

Tayuya, whose little head was full of wisdom and whose fighting style was mainly strategic, quickly estimated in his mind a price that Naruto could not afford.

She thought that she would first find a reason to scare away this madman, and then find a way to escape.

Since Uchiha Sasuke had already escaped, even if she was the only one left of the Sound Five, her mission was accomplished. She was Orochimaru's subordinate, so she didn't have time to play house with that bastard.

"One thousand... no, ten thousand taels!"

Naruto said nothing as a wad of ten thousand taels of cash blossomed in his palm like a flower.

"Where did you get the money from?"

Duoyou was dumbfounded. After a moment of panic, she managed to speak.

"I...I regret it. Who would sell their soul for a mere ten thousand taels? How naive! I meant thirty thousand taels! Damn it."

With a swish, Naruto raised his other hand, and the banknotes bloomed like flowers again.

"Ah!! I mean... 50,000 ryo!"

With a whoosh, a handful of banknotes appeared in Naruto's hand.

Tayuya was petrified instantly, and remained motionless for a long moment, his lips moving.

“.......One hundred thousand taels.”

The banknotes in Naruto's hand became thicker and thicker, far exceeding 100,000 taels. He simply threw the banknotes into the woods. When he was halfway through, Tayuya finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Get out!" Duoyouya squatted on the tree trunk with a vicious expression on his face.

She began to regret accepting Naruto's feeding in the beginning, and felt sad that she suddenly understood the meaning of money.

If I hadn't been so bored that I stood there waiting for him for that barbecue, if I hadn't spent that month together, eating and drinking with Naruto everywhere, perhaps...

This was simply a trap set by the evil god, setting traps for her step by step.

But she ate so much that she couldn't forget the food. She had planned to go back and get some money to buy more food, but why did this person talk so...

I probably can't go back, and I won't be of any value to Lord Orochimaru anymore. The fate of useless chess pieces is probably the garbage dump.

But that guy has endless food!

Naruto continued to throw coins without any hesitation.

"Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away!" Tayuya couldn't bear it anymore as she stood on the tree trunk. The curse mark on her body faded away and she squatted down, hugged her knees and cried.

"Why are you telling me that? It's not my money! I can't spend it all!"

"You threw so much, I can't pick it all up! Ugh!!"

"You seem to have no idea about money." Naruto suddenly thought of something and stopped throwing coins. "Do you know how much 10 million ryo is?"

"Get out of here!" Tayouya cried out in a tearful voice, her temper as prickly as a wild cat with its fur standing on end.

Naruto didn't get angry about this. He jumped over and landed on the tree trunk that Tayuya was standing on. He stood in front of her, looked down at Tayuya calmly, and asked again.

"How about selling your soul to me for a hundred thousand taels?"

"Stop talking! I'll kill you if you keep saying that! Oooooooooo, my money!"
