Although Naruto fell directly from a height of about tens of meters, he was fortunately protected by the tailed beast's coat, which acted as a certain hindrance.
therefore.
There were no serious injuries on Naruto's body, but the strong shock when he fell to the ground knocked him out.
Kakashi now breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reach out to pick Naruto up.
As a result, this time.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and let out a groan-like cry of pain!
"My whole body hurts...Kakashi-sensei?"
Naruto felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart and felt pain all over his body. When Naruto regained his senses and saw Kakashi next to him, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto seemed to remember something, resisting the pain coming from his body, he quickly got up from the ground and looked around.
"Where's Sasuke?"
Naruto looked around and asked Kakashi quickly.
Seeing Naruto gritting his teeth in pain and looking anxious at the same time, Kakashi didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Naruto kept saying that he wanted to bring Sasuke back for Sakura, but Kakashi knew what Naruto was really thinking deep down.
In Naruto's eyes, Sasuke was no longer just an ordinary companion or a target to chase, that simple.
To a certain extent, it has transcended friendship...
Maybe I don’t know when to start!
Deep in Naruto's heart, Sasuke has been placed in a position similar to that of a family member.
"already left."
While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Kakashi said helplessly.
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then showed an unwilling look on his face.
"Damn it, that guy escaped again!"
"And that guy Sasuke has become stronger than before!"
There was annoyance in Naruto's tone, and he couldn't help but move a little wider. As the pain spread across his body, Naruto's expression changed instantly.
Seeing Naruto twitching due to pain, Kakashi stretched out his hand to hold his forehead and sighed helplessly again:
"If you know you are injured, don't move."
As Uchiha Obito, Kakuzu, Scorpion and others evacuated in sequence.
Several people from the Kirigakure side, Konoha side and Sunagakure side reunited.
Among the people present at this moment, except for Nagato, whose clothes were slightly damaged, the rest of the people were more or less seriously injured.
The clothes on Kisame's upper body were directly burned, revealing deep and shallow scars on his body.
Although the chakra was restored a little due to the feedback from Daito Samehada, everyone present could still see the intensity of the battle between Inikisaki Kisame and Kakuzu.
Of course, the worst thing was Sunagakure's side. Kankuro's puppet technique was completely abused by Scorpion, and Maki and Temari were suppressed and beaten from beginning to end.
If Xie hadn't been ruthless, the three of them might have stayed here today.
Several people looked at each other, with a somewhat ugly expression on their faces.
"Miscalculation..."
There was a flash in Nagato's eyes, and he muttered to himself slightly hurt.
Nagato had indeed guessed the process of the other party extracting Shukaku's chakra from Gaara's body.
But Nagato never thought that Uchiha Madara's actions would end so quickly.
The reason why Uchiha Obito and others fought with them was obviously to delay them. And now their withdrawal itself is enough to explain many problems.
No one present is an idiot, so they can naturally realize this.
Kankuro and Temari dragged their injured bodies and took the lead in running down the valley.
Nagato, Kakashi and others also quickly followed.
There was no obstruction along the way, and everyone naturally quickly arrived at the bottom of the valley, and at the same time, quickly walked into the cave.
At this time in the cave.
Chiyo Granny and Sunagakure who came over in advance all lowered their heads slightly and looked at Gaara lying on the ground below.
There is an atmosphere of sadness in the air.
Temari and Kankuro, who were the first to rush in, couldn't help but tremble when they saw this scene.
With disbelief and many emotions in their eyes, the two of them walked slowly towards Gaara's direction.
Kankuro and Temari walked slowly, as if they wanted to slow down to confirm their guesses, and also hoped that their guesses were false.
But no matter how slow the two of them walk, they will eventually reach their destination.
What's more, the distance is not that far.
Kankuro and Temari walked to Chiyo's mother-in-law and saw Gaara who was lying on the ground and had completely lost his voice.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Drops of tears ran down Temari's cheeks and fell to the ground, making an invisible sound.
Kankuro lowered his head so that no one could see the expression on his face. He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and his fingers turned a little white.
At this time, Nagato, Kakashi and others also rushed over. Seeing this scene in the cave, they realized something and couldn't help but slow down.
"I'm too late..."
Granny Chiyo's face showed a look of decadence.
"Is Gaara dead?"
Naruto stood next to Kakashi and couldn't help but murmur to himself when he saw Gaara who had made no sound.
Due to Right To's appearance and intervention, Naruto and Gaara didn't have much interaction with each other except for the Chunin Exam.
The two even had a fight during the Chunin Examination.
In a way, Naruto has always disliked stinky guys like Gaara.
But often times, the people you hate the most are actually the people you know best.
And that's what happened to Naruto!
Deep in Sasuke's cold heart, he is obsessed with "strength!"
Under Hyuga Neji's calm appearance, he is "unwilling to accept fate!"
Under Gaara's cruel and murderous character, there is a "deep loneliness!"
If we say, Sasuke is like a family member in Naruto's heart.
Then, in Naruto's heart, Gaara is "a person who can understand each other's inner feelings".
As a fellow Jinchuuriki, Naruto understands better than anyone else the "loneliness" and "need to be recognized by others" deep in Gaara's heart.
You must be very unwilling, Gaara!
Naruto looked at Gaara's body and clenched his fists, a trace of Nine-Tails' chakra overflowing from Naruto's body.
boom!
Kakashi noticed something unusual about Naruto immediately, and reached out to gently pat Naruto on the shoulder to bring Naruto back to his senses.
"Kakashi-sensei..."
There was a hint of strangulation in Naruto's voice.
Kakashi didn't know how to comfort Naruto, so he could only sigh softly.
Granny Chiyo naturally also saw Naruto, with a complicated look on her face. Her already somewhat rickety figure not only became more rickety.
"I didn't expect that the first person to understand your heart would be someone from another Ninja Village... Gaara."
Granny Chiyo looked at Gaara's body and spoke softly, her tone unclear whether it was relief or happiness.
Sudden.
Granny Chiyo turned her head to look at Naruto, with an inexplicable look in her eyes:
"If I remember correctly, when you were in Sunagakure Village, you once said you wanted to become Hokage, right?"
Faced with Granny Chiyo's sudden inquiry, Naruto, who was obviously in a low mood, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Granny Chiyo like a reflex.
"I will definitely become Hokage!"
There was unparalleled determination on Naruto's face and voice.
There was no change in expression on Granny Chiyo's wrinkled face, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
"Why do you want to become Hokage? And it is a very difficult road."
Granny Chiyo thought for a while, then came back to her senses and looked at Naruto and asked slowly.
"Because it's my dream to become Hokage!"
"And I want everyone in the village to agree that no matter how difficult this road is, I will never give up easily!"
Naruto's firm and serious voice slowly echoed throughout the cave.
