Under the Moonlight.
Sasuke barely supported himself to stand up. Looking at the black shadow falling beside them, Sasuke could not see that this shadow was a ninja at all.
However, Orochimaru has a lot of talents under his hands, and each of them has a few unique skills. Sasuke simply and neatly asked directly, "Are you the one Orochimaru sent to pick me up?"
"Does it matter who sent to pick you up?"
This black shadow doesn't seem to have a mouth, but the voice inside the body speaks with annoyance, "As long as it can make you stronger, it's enough, right?"
"Oh?"
Sasuke suddenly became suspicious, and a cruel smile flashed across his face, and after a while, he said, "That's right, as long as it makes me stronger, it's enough."
"Then follow me!"
The black shadow nodded slowly, then looked at the unconscious Naruto not far away and walked over step by step, "This kid seems to have unusual power in his body; we can use him."
"Don't touch him!"
However, Sasuke suddenly took out a kunai and pierced it into the heart of the black shadow, but Sasuke only felt that his kunai hit the air!
This made Sasuke's heart tremble!
This guy's body in front of him was a body without any sense of existence. How could there be such a person?
The black shadow slowly turned around and stretched out his arm, then pinched Sasuke's neck and lifted the boy, "You want to kill me?"
"No...no..."
Sasuke desperately tried to tear off the black shadow's arm but only grabbed air. The ninja who came to greet him really seemed to be made of pure shadows!
What exactly was going on?
Obviously, this guy can stretch out his arm to grab his neck, but his palm can't touch this guy's body at all!
In the next second, the black shadow threw Sasuke to the ground!
Sasuke reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, then coughed and explained: "Cough cough cough... I just want to test if you are qualified for me to join..."
"Is it?"
The black shadow voice suddenly became a little unpredictable, and with a little higher majesty, it said, "Don't use your life to test the temper of the strong. Remember it well."
"I know."
Sasuke nodded bitterly.
It's just that even though his current strength was weaker than the person in front of him, Sasuke still wants to talk about terms, "The person you need is me, not this yellow-haired boy. Leave him here, and I will go with you.!"
"..."
After the black shadow was silent for a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that even if you betray Konoha for strength, your feelings are still inclined..."
"No!"
Sasuke turned his head to look at the unconscious Naruto and said coldly, "I will kill him in the future. Now I will spare his life so that I can use him to test the power I can get from your side and to prove that joining you is not a wrong choice."
The black shadow again stayed silent for a while. It looked at Sasuke and nodded, "Hehehe... I hope you kid can do this in the future."
"Humph!"
Sasuke snorted coldly and urged in a low voice, "Let's go! It will not take long before Konoha reinforcement arrives here!"
The black shadow raised its head, looked at a figure rushing towards their position, and chuckled lightly, "He already arrived..."
"Mokuton, Jukai Heki!" (Wood Release: World of Trees Wall)
Just as they were about to leave here, wooden vines suddenly blocked their way, and a masked Konoha Anbu stopped in front of them!
It was Tenzo.
Tenzo looked at the black shadow and Sasuke. He then said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Sasuke, immediately return to Konoha with me, don't go further and further on the wrong path!"
"Mokuton?"
After Sasuke took a surprising look at the World of Trees Wall blocking them, he turned his head to look at the Anbu blocking the way, his face gradually turning cold. He pointed at the black shadow and said, "Okay, as long as you kill this guy, I will return to Konoha with you."
"This kid is really troublesome..."
After Tenzo frowned, he suddenly stretched out his palm towards the black shadow and shouted in a deep voice, "Mokuton, Daijurin no Jutsu!" (Wood Release: Great Forest Technique)
His arm turned into countless wooden planks, rushing towards the black shadow!
However, those wooden planks only passed through the black shadow and did not cause any damage. This scene shocked Tenzo's heart, and he had never encountered such an enemy before!
The next moment, the black shadow slowly stretched its hand to grab the planks and whispered, "We shouldn't stop a man's choice, right? Katon, Pyroclasm!"
A scorching flame quickly ignited the planks and rushed in Tenzo's direction, forcing him to dodge!
However, the flames were still closely chasing Tenzo's back. The scorching flame was almost close to him, forcing Tenzo no time to retreat!
"Mokuton, Mokujōheki!" (Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall)
A thick curved wooden pillar emerged from the ground.
The flame directly hit this wooden wall!
"Did I use too little chakra?"
The black shadow raised his hand toward Tenzo's defensive technique and said in a low voice, "Katon, Pillar of Flame!"
A circle of flame gushes out from the ground!
Tenzo, hiding under the defense of the wooden planks, never thought there would be this kind of fire ninjutsu, so the flames gushing from the ground directly hit his body!
Tenzo was scorched and had burn marks all over his body. He lies on the side with an ugly expression and watches the black shadows leading Sasuke to leave.
"This guy... is so strong!"
Tenzo gritted his teeth. Fortunately, the Hashirama Cell in his body continued to bring a powerful recovery ability and ability to resist damage. Otherwise, he would have been killed directly.
It's just that it's impossible to take Sasuke back now.
Tenzo turned his head slowly and looked at the fainted Naruto. He barely breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could rescue Naruto.
Compared to Sasuke, Naruto's identity was more important.
After Sasuke followed the shadow for a while time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you guys? Are you Orochimaru's subordinates or other people from ninja village?"
"Really..."
The black shadow suddenly turned into a young ninja. He slowly turned his head to look at Sasuke, and with a smile on his face, he said, "You are still so anxious, Sasuke!"
"Uehara!"
Sasuke's expression drastically changed, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, "How could it be you?"
If he remembers correctly, Uehara was from Amegakure.
Although Uehara's strength was indeed strong, after the assassination of the Third Hokage, he can still fight the Konoha elite ninjas such as Kakashi, Guy, and Jiraiya. Still, his name was not as loud as Orochimaru!
"Why can't it be me?"
Uehara looked at Sasuke with a very kind smile, "Sasuke, only by joining us can you have a hope to kill Itachi!"
After speaking, Uehara tilted his head and chuckled softly, "Hey, don't you think I'm right? Itachi-san?"
"What?"
When Sasuke had some doubts, two more figures suddenly appeared in the darkness. It was Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame who had just left the battle.
Itachi slowly raised his head, looked at his brother, and said in a low voice, "We meet again, Sasuke."
"Itachi!"
Even if Sasuke was exhausted, he still mustered the courage to support his body and attacked Itachi, "Die!"
Bang!
Itachi punched Sasuke in his lower abdomen, then kicked him to the ground, and said in a cold voice, "You still haven't grown a little bit. I don't understand why the leader wants to invite this kind of a waste to join."
"Bastard!"
Sasuke can only hold his belly in rage!
"As expected of Itachi-san, he is so cruel to his brother!"
Kisame standing beside said with a chuckle, "Since Itachi-san thinks this kid is useless, let's kill him now!"
After speaking, Kisame also explained with some triumph, "It just so happened that he and Itachi-san are enemies. My Samehada can taste fresh blood, and the intern Uehara can get a gift for Konan-senpai…."
Uehara touched his chin and nodded at Kisame, "I think what Kisame-senpai said makes sense. What do you think? Itachi-san?"
"Not so good."
Itachi just stared at Sasuke on the ground, frowned his brow, and said, "Okay, let's take him back to the base first!"
To tell the truth, Itachi really doesn't want to stay with these two bastards, Uehara and Kisame, any longer!
Too annoying!
Itachi was afraid that he would not be able to bear it anymore!
"Tsk..."
After Uehara clicked his tongue, he squatted down and patted Sasuke on the shoulder and chuckled, "How about it? Joining us will give you a chance to kill Itachi!"
