Chapter 475: Meeting
The newcomers were fast, and soon, Haruno Sakura, whose perception was also quite keen, sensed the approach of several chakra signatures.
She glanced thoughtfully at Sasuke, who looked back quietly and smiled.
"It's Kakashi and the others..." Haruno Sakura blinked and said, "What happened with you?"
The girl suddenly remembered that according to the prior arrangement, Sasuke was clearly going to observe Naruto and the others. How did he run halfway and come back to meet up with her?
"I was discovered by Kiba..." Sasuke laughed dryly.
On the other side, Obito and Rogue Ninja Sasuke also sensed the identity of the newcomers.
"Hehe... everyone is here today." The masked man said somewhat sarcastically.
"But except for the Nine-Tails, they are all a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp..."
"Who?"
Rogue Ninja Sasuke was slightly stunned and looked at Obito.
"All your acquaintances, Sasuke..." Obito narrowed his Sharingan, his gaze passing over Konoha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, landing in the distance.
"Kakashi, and Naruto Uzumaki and others..."
"They... came to find me, right." Rogue Ninja Sasuke said coldly.
Rogue Ninja Sasuke followed the direction of Obito's gaze and frowned slightly.
In the direction Obito was staring.
Kakashi, Naruto, and the girl Sakura of this world were speeding towards the battlefield.
"Kakashi." When running the last leg of the journey, Pakkun lying on Kakashi's head suddenly said, "We have probably been discovered. I smelled cats and other people. A bit strange..."
"Is that so?" Kakashi didn't stop, frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Then abandon the idea of covert action..."
"We rush directly over!"
"Yes!" Naruto, who wasn't very good at hiding himself, responded with full enthusiasm.
Crossing a small hill, the view suddenly opened up, and the land ravaged by super-giant ninjutsu was revealed to the three.
"This... what is going on!" Sakura widened her eyes, looking at the mess of broken mountains, reversed rivers, and shattered land in the large area in front of her, saying in surprise.
"These are traces left by battle..."
Kakashi recognized it at a glance and said solemnly.
"What kind of battle would leave such traces...?" Sakura gasped and stopped abruptly.
She had only seen similar signs during Pain's invasion some time ago.
Could it be that both sides who fought here were figures like Pain?
Kakashi couldn't answer her.
He subconsciously lifted his forehead protector, exposing the Sharingan, and scanned the surroundings.
The gazes of two identical Sharingan met unexpectedly in the air.
That person... is it Madara?
Kakashi narrowed his eyelids and said solemnly: "Let's go..."
"He has already seen us."
Using the ninja running method, the three advanced rapidly and soon landed on the edge of the battlefield.
As soon as they landed, Kakashi and his group, who had just seen clearly the identities of the people present, were all stunned.
Dumbstruck.
Among the five people on the field, except for the mysterious man wearing a mask and the strange red-haired girl, the remaining three were figures they were all too familiar with—
Two Sasukes, one Sakura.
"Eh eh eh?! T-Two Sasukes?" Naruto blinked hard, suspecting he was under genjutsu again, stammering, "Did I see wrong?"
"I also saw another me..." Sakura was also dumbfounded, poking her head out without any lady-like image, looking at the figure not far away whose body shape and face were almost exactly the same as hers, "Am I under genjutsu?"
Looking at their expressions, Haruno Sakura and Sasuke standing together couldn't help shaking their heads.
Only Kakashi remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the three, finally landing on Obito, saying coldly: "We tracked a ninja suspected to be Sasuke, and found you guys here. What is going on?"
He took a step forward, with a faint deterrent killing intent on his face, questioning: "Could it be... is this another conspiracy of your Akatsuki?"
"Haha!" Obito sneered a few times.
"Kakashi, if Akatsuki really had any conspiracy, do you think I would tell you?" He looked playfully at the expressions of Kakashi's group and the two from the other world, "By the way, thank you for coming... your reactions told me a lot of things."
At least he now knew that these two visitors from another world had nothing to do with Konoha.
"Then, Sasuke, we should also retreat."
He put his hands on the shoulders of Sasuke and Karin, about to perform Space-Time Ninjutsu.
"Wait a minute!" Naruto shouted, rushing out fiercely, "Don't go!"
"Tell me, what exactly is going on!" He pointed at the extra boy and girl on the field, asking doubtfully, "If the one beside you is the real Sasuke, then who are the other two!"
"Such things, wouldn't it be clear if you ask them yourself?" Obito looked indifferent, turning his head to glance at Naruto.
"Nine-Tails..." He said lightly, "I don't have time to play ninja games with you, see you next time..."
Taking advantage of the moment Obito was distracted by Naruto, a silver-white thin line shot out abruptly, landing on Obito's forehead.
The latter almost didn't react, breaking out in a cold sweat! At the moment the water blade touched the skin, he subconsciously entered the state of Intangibility, letting the sharp water blade pass through his body!
Crack. The water blade pierced a small hole in the swirl mask, leaving a tiny red mark on Obito's left forehead, ultimately returning without success.
"Hehe... timing of the sneak attack was good."
Obito touched the gap on the mask, slightly angry in his heart, but not confident in counterattacking Haruno Sakura's sneak attack, so he could only suppress the waves in his heart; the expression on his face froze like a glacier, laughing emotionlessly a few times.
"However, I already told you, this level of attack can't do anything to me."
"That's really a pity." Haruno Sakura said so, but the relaxed expression on her face showed no regret.
She knew herself that the chance was slim, just trying to seize the opportunity as Obito wanted to leave.
At the same time, it was also to take the opportunity to show her stance against Obito.
"Regarding our identities, you can ask Sasuke over there... presumably you have a lot to say to him too." She turned her head and said lightly to Naruto and the others.
Obito frowned.
Because Haruno Sakura was present, he just wanted to leave the battlefield quickly and return to the base to recover his stamina and replace the blind Sharingan.
Didn't want long nights and many dreams.
Sasuke in front of him reached out to stop him: "Let me say a few words to them, Madara."
"Naruto... you appeared here to chase me, right." He looked at the familiar figure in front of him and said coldly, "I already said, I'm not interested in your ninja games!"
"It's also time for me to be clear with you! My revenge target is the entire Konoha, including you, Sakura, Kakashi, Konoha ninja... I will kill you all with my own hands and wash the entire Konoha with blood!" He spread his hands, a sickly pallor on his face, laughing loudly, "Because only in this way can the tarnished glory of the Uchiha clan be purified..."
"I want to sever all these bonds with my own hands and let Uchiha get true revival!"
The expression on Naruto's face was unprecedentedly solemn, listening quietly to Sasuke's words. When he stopped, Naruto said solemnly: "Sasuke, even if I risk my life, I must stop you and bring you back to the village!"
"Hehe..." Sasuke sneered emotionlessly, "Naruto, you haven't changed, still so naive, so stubborn... I have nothing to say to you."
"Next time we meet," as if losing patience, Sasuke's words became unusually cold at the last sentence, "I will slaughter you, and all Konoha ninja, completely!"
He stopped, wanting to appreciate the shocked and shaken gazes of the Konoha crowd.
But in Naruto's eyes, he only saw determination.
"From that guy named Tobi, I heard the truth about Itachi." Naruto said calmly, "Although I don't know if it's true or false, everything you have done so far..."
"I can understand you."
"I'm not good at preaching." He smiled bitterly, "I can't persuade you to give up revenge either."
"But if you really act against the village, I will definitely fight you with all my strength... stop you from going further and further on the wrong path!"
"Wrong path? Such familiar words!" Sasuke raised his eyebrows.
He pointed fiercely to the other side, at Haruno Sakura and Sasuke who were quietly watching everyone talk: "Your naive words are very similar to someone... Let me introduce these two people. They are Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke from another world, two people also brainwashed by Konoha, should have a lot in common with you!"
"Want to play ninja games, you can play with them enough!"
Kakashi and the others all looked at Haruno Sakura and Sasuke on the other side in shock. Sakura exclaimed: "Me from another world?"
Hearing this, Haruno Sakura turned to nod slightly at her, smiled faintly, but didn't speak, just quietly listening to the conversation between Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto still focused his attention on Sasuke.
Sasuke sneered: "And between you and me, there remain only two endings... either you kill me and become the village's hero, or I kill you and complete my revenge."
"No." Naruto shook his head.
"I don't want to become any hero, nor do I want the village to be hurt. So, if you insist on taking revenge on the village, the ending between us will only be..."
"Perish together." His bright pupils told Sasuke that these words were definitely not vain talk.
But a promise Naruto would definitely carry out.
Sasuke kept a cold face, silent, not responding to Naruto's words.
The two suddenly fell silent.
"Uchiha Sasuke of this world." Haruno Sakura, who heard this, suddenly interjected, "I think before you consider how to fight Naruto... you can consider how to pass my level first."
"I don't know where you get the confidence to rant here about washing Konoha with blood... Were those two punches just now not impressive enough?"
"Do you want to try again?"
Sasuke's face froze abruptly, like a stone statue.
