Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 153: Formal Meeting at Tiandi Bridge

Tsunade sighed softly and looked out the window at Konoha.

The Uchiha clan has helped Konoha do a lot of things. Perhaps, Second Grandpa has some misunderstandings about the Uchiha clan.

Tsunade thought so.

If Senju Tobirama knew what Tsunade said, he would definitely say with disdain: "Don't you think about it? The restless ones are dead, so aren't the rest the ones who are content?"

"Granny Tsunade! We are back~"

Uzumaki Naruto happily opened the door of the Hokage's office.

Hearing Uzumaki Naruto's voice, Tsunade turned and looked towards the door.

"Teacher, we are back."

Haruno Sakura nodded politely to Tsunade.

"You guys are back just in time. Do you remember the news Sakura brought back?"

Tsunade said as she looked at the people coming in.

Uzumaki Naruto, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly became serious.

"Since Kakashi has not recovered from the mission to snatch the Kazekage, I have found two other people to temporarily join Kakashi's team. Naruto, Sakura!"

Tsunade looked at Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura very seriously.

"exist!"

Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura looked at Tsunade seriously.

"I officially issue you a mission. Go to the Tiandi Bridge to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization!"

"Yes!"

. . . . . .

Two days later, Uchiha Sasuke came to the Heaven and Earth Bridge. Hanging on his shoulder was a white kitten with a sun totem on its forehead.

In front, a beautiful butterfly is flying forward. On the back of its wings, there is a pattern that looks like an eye.

As he was walking, a powerful chakra energy rushed over.

Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in front of him to block the blowing leaves and branches.

The poor butterfly was shattered by the powerful chakra.

"It looks like there's no need to lead the way."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the place in the distance where powerful chakra was erupting.

"Sasuke-sama, would you like me to go check it out first?"

A soft sound came out of the kitten's mouth.

"Need not."

Uchiha Sasuke said as he rushed towards the direction of the abnormal chakra.

Soon, Uchiha Sasuke saw Uzumaki Naruto in the four-tailed form and Orochimaru lying on the ground like a snake.

Found it, but who is it?

Uchiha Sasuke hid behind a tree and watched the two people fighting.

Uchiha Sasuke planned to wait.

Although Uchiha Sasuke is now a member of the Uchiha Planet, his heart belongs to Konoha. If the other party can get rid of Orochimaru, he would be very happy to see this happen.

But until then.

Uchiha Sasuke's expression couldn't help but darken.

The teacher said that Orochimaru is like a snake and can't be killed no matter how hard you hit him.

Uchiha Sasuke has been paying attention to the fight between the two.

"Sasuke-sama, those over there are the Konoha ninjas that Hoshi-sama was talking about."

The kitten lying on Sasuke's shoulder pointed at the white-skinned boy who was also hiding behind a tree in the distance, observing the situation.

Uchiha Sasuke listened to the kitten's words and looked over, and soon his eyes fell on Sai who was wearing the Konoha forehead protector.

How could the people from Konoha be here? Or were they here to siege Orochimaru? But if that was the case, could it be... Naruto!

"Is this the Tailed Beast Form..."

Uchiha Sasuke murmured, looking at Uzumaki Naruto in the tailed beast form with a very complicated expression.

Compared to this, Uchiha Sasuke looked at Orochimaru who had been killed countless times, and suddenly understood what was going on with Uchiha Xing's look of disgust and annoyance when he was talking about Orochimaru being unkillable.

If it were me, I would be annoyed too.

Just as he was thinking about it, Uchiha Sasuke saw Uzumaki Naruto use a super powerful attack to shoot towards Orochimaru, and Orochimaru also directly summoned the Triple Rashomon.

However, despite being a very strong Rashomon, it was destroyed by Uzumaki Naruto's attack.

This time, Orochimaru is definitely going to die.

Uchiha Sasuke thought so, and the other two thought so too.

But, if Orochimaru really died so easily, it wouldn't have caused Uchiha Star so much trouble.

Orochimaru was seen with his head stuck in the ground like an upside-down onion. After a moment, a strange noise came from under Uzumaki Naruto's feet, and then a sword shot out from the ground towards Uzumaki Naruto.

The sword became longer and longer, until it pushed Uzumaki Naruto to a certain place and then stopped.

On the other end of the sword is Orochimaru with Orochimaru's head and a snake-like neck.

Tsk, that's really uncomfortable, and it's perverted.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But compared to this...

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto in the distance.

Have you lost your mind? I'm afraid you can't go on like this.

Thinking so, Uchiha Sasuke decided to solve the problem with Uzumaki Naruto first, and then complete the task assigned by Uchiha Xing.

Uchiha Sasuke thought so and used instant movement to rush towards Uzumaki Naruto.

But when he was about to reach the edge of the forest, Uchiha Sasuke stopped.

Kabuto Yakushi, Sakura, and some unknown ninjas. Why are they all here?

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto who was roaring non-stop, Uchiha Sasuke was just about to help when he saw Haruno Sakura running towards Uzumaki Naruto.

"Naruto! Naruto, that's enough! That's... enough!"

Tears streamed down Haruno Sakura's cheeks.

She didn't want Uzumaki Naruto to be in so much pain.

Little... Sakura... Run!

Looking at the crying Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto regained his sanity for a moment, but was soon suppressed by endless hatred again.

Naruto Uzumaki is now in a state of madness and cannot control himself at all. He just wants to destroy everything he sees.

The thick tail, with the intention of destruction, lashed towards Haruno Sakura.

"Naruto..."

Looking at the tail coming towards her quickly, Haruno Sakura couldn't dodge quickly enough.

Seeing this, Yamato wanted to use Wood Release to help, but he was still a step too slow.

"It happened!"

Yamato couldn't help but look anxious.

Looking at the tail getting closer and closer, Haruno Sakura's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The next second, she felt her collar tighten and she couldn't help but step back.

Why? !

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"

A soft voice sounded, and Haruno Sakura subconsciously turned around, and then saw a pair of white wings behind her.

When Uzumaki Naruto saw that his first attack failed, he continued to attack.

At this moment, Yamato had used Wood Release to control Uzumaki Naruto.

However, this kind of wood release is not as good as Hashirama Senju's, and it is impossible to control Uzumaki Naruto for too long.

"Which road is more."

A voice sounded, and the pupils of everyone present couldn't help but shrink.

This voice...

Haruno Sakura turned her head stiffly, and then saw Uchiha Sasuke with a ponytail, wearing a modified kimono, and a sword hanging on his waist.

"Sa-Sasuke..."

Haruno Sakura looked at Uchiha Sasuke who appeared on the other side with some shock.

Perhaps it was Uchiha Sasuke's voice that attracted the consciousness of Uzumaki Naruto deep inside, or perhaps the beast's consciousness made the other party realize that Uchiha Sasuke was very powerful.

Uzumaki Naruto's sights had now fallen on Uchiha Sasuke.

"Naruto, is this what you call catching up? The last one is still the last one. You can't even control your own strength and hurt your companions. You are becoming more and more useless, Naruto."

As Uchiha Sasuke spoke, he flashed and appeared in front of Uzumaki Naruto, staring at him with his scarlet Sharingan.

For a moment, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to have entered another place.

Dark and damp, like a sewer.

Uchiha Sasuke's eye techniques were taught very well by Uchiha Hoshi. Although he could not control the tailed beasts, he could still enter the consciousness space.

In front of Uchiha Sasuke was a huge prison door, and inside the door, a huge fox was staring at him.

"Uchiha clan brat...get out of here!!!"

Jiu Lama looked at those disgusting eyes and roared angrily.

"It's just a trapped beast, trying to make trouble."

Uchiha Sasuke walked towards the cage, reached his hand into the red chakra ball, grabbed the unconscious Uzumaki Naruto inside, and pulled him out with force.

"Too much presumption! Uchiha brat!!!"

Jiu Lama kept roaring.

The sleeping Uzumaki Naruto seemed to be awakened by Kurama's roar.

When Uzumaki Naruto opened his eyes, he saw the familiar sewer, followed by Uchiha Sasuke with a calm face.

"Sa-Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Sasuke in shock, and then he was happy.

"Hey Sasuke, why are you here? Are you planning to go back? If so, let's go back together. I'm telling you, Kakashi-sensei..."

Uzumaki Naruto was interrupted by Uchiha Sasuke before he could finish his words.

"Naruto, you said that I was your goal, and that you would keep chasing me and surpass me. But it seems that you are still the same as before, reckless, impulsive, and useless. You can't even control your own strength, and you hurt your teammates."

"So, the last one is still the last one."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Naruto with great sarcasm, and then withdrew from the spiritual world.

"I hurt my companions? Wait! Tell me what's going on, Sasuke!"

"Sasuke? Sasuke!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto, who was sleeping on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and then saw Haruno Sakura with eyes full of worry.

"Sakura?"

Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and sat up suddenly. However, because he sat up too quickly, his vision went dark and his body seemed to fall backwards.

"Naruto!"

Haruno Sakura raised her hand and quickly caught Uzumaki Naruto. "Sakura..."

Uzumaki Naruto raised his hand and grabbed Haruno Sakura's arm tightly.

"I think I saw Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto, who had recovered, followed Haruno Sakura excitedly.

Listening to Uzumaki Naruto's words, Haruno Sakura was silent for a moment, then said: "I saw it too..."

"Then, where's Sasuke, where's Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto said anxiously.

Haruno Sakura was silent for a long time, then she said, "He has left with Kabuto Yakushi."

Haruno Sakura had imagined many scenes of them meeting again, either fighting or joy, but she had never thought that she and Uzumaki Naruto would be rescued by each other.

A few minutes ago...

Uchiha Sasuke came in front of Uzumaki Naruto, and Yamato instantly became alert.

"what are you up to."

Yamato said as he was about to attack Uchiha Sasuke.

"Wait a moment!"

Haruno Sakura suddenly called out to Yamato.

Then, they saw that the tailed beast chakra covering Uzumaki Naruto, who had transformed into a tailed beast, began to disappear continuously. Then, the unconscious Uzumaki Naruto appeared in front of everyone.

"Sasuke-sama."

The soft voice behind Haruno Sakura appeared again.

Then Haruno Sakura felt that the feeling of being pulled from behind disappeared, and then she saw a white kitten flying towards Uchiha Sasuke with its wings flashing.

The kitten fell onto Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder, and the wings behind it shrank rapidly, then turned into the kitten's body.

So it was Sasuke who saved me just now, right?

Haruno Sakura looked at Uchiha Sasuke blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Heh~ I didn't expect that Sasuke would choose to help the people of Konoha."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Save them? Ha!"

Uchiha Sasuke smiled sarcastically and then said: "The teacher asked me to take Orochimaru back. They will get in my way."

Uchiha Sasuke's tone was very cold.

"Sasuke..."

Sakura Haruno looked at Uchiha Sasuke in a daze, then raised her hand and walked towards Uchiha Sasuke.

"You still care about us, right, Sasuke?"

Haruno Sakura stopped beside Uchiha Sasuke and raised her hand to touch him.

"Come back with us."

When Haruno Sakura's hand was about to touch Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand to open Haruno Sakura's hand, then grabbed Haruno Sakura's neck with his backhand and began to exert force with his hand.

"Why do you think I will go back with you, back to the village that can't make me strong."

Uchiha Sasuke said sarcastically, then grabbed Haruno Sakura and left Yamato behind.

Seeing this, Yamato quickly took a few steps to catch Haruno Sakura.

Perhaps it was because Uchiha Sasuke's attack was a little too powerful, and Yamato couldn't help but take a few steps back due to inertia.

"Sakura, are you okay?"

Yamato asked Haruno Sakura with concern.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Haruno Sakura covered her neck, coughed and shook her head.

Seeing this, Yamato breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his hand that was holding Haruno Sakura's waist.

Yamato held the thing in his hand, quietly took it back, and then took a glance at it. It was a very small scroll with special symbols of Konoha Anbu marked on it.

This is! ! !

At this moment, Yamato suddenly remembered what Tsunade said to him before she left.

"Yamato, if you run into Sasuke and he strongly doesn't want to follow you back, just let him go on purpose."

So... Is Sasuke working undercover for Orochimaru? No, from the attitudes of Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi just now, it is obvious that he has a bad relationship with Orochimaru, and what about the teacher he mentioned?

Yamato felt that Uchiha Sasuke's teacher in the past three years had different ideas from them.

"Yakushi Kabuto, let's go."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Yamato, and seeing the slightly changed look in his eyes, he knew that the other party had taken the information scroll that he had just placed on Haruno Sakura.

"I see."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses, then led Uchiha Sasuke and quickly left.

"Sasuke!"

Haruno Sakura raised her hand to call Uchiha Sasuke, but found that the other party had disappeared.
