Chapter 312: Trash and Essence
"What? That brat Sasuke ran away?"
In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, upon hearing the news, angrily slammed the table and looked at Kakashi in front of her.
It would be strange if Tsunade was in a good mood after receiving this news early in the morning when she just got to work.
"Yes, Hokage! Naruto has gone to chase them overnight, and so has Sakura, Shikamaru, Neji... and Gaara from the Sand Village!"
Kakashi called out the names of several people. Except for Gaara, the rest were companions that Sakura contacted. It was considered that he had done his best to call these people in the middle of the night.
"According to Sakura, Sasuke should have gone to find Orochimaru!"
"Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"
Tsunade slammed the table again, halfway through her words, wondering if she really wanted to piss her off to death. The amount of anger she had gotten in the past few days as Hokage was almost as much as she had gotten in the past decade or so combined!
Facing Tsunade's anger, Kakashi secretly groaned. He was not sure whether the news was true or not, and he had already said it now.
"You and...Might Guy, go over there and bring that person back!"
Originally Tsunade wanted to talk to Asuma, but he is now the captain of the guard department, so she decided to let Kakashi bring his partner.
After receiving the order, Kakashi immediately retreated.
"Orochimaru! You planned this all along! You just cause me trouble every day!"
No wonder the other party looked at her meaningfully when he mentioned Sasuke that night. It seemed like he wanted to give her a heads-up in advance.
She was not worried about Sasuke's safety. He had already reached that level of strength and would not bully a young boy.
It’s just that Itachi returned to Konoha Village two days ago, and now Sasuke has left, which makes it difficult to make any associations.
He is nothing more than a little fellow blinded by hatred who wants to borrow the power of Orochimaru. What she is worried about is that Orochimaru will teach Sasuke bad things and then stand against Konoha.
This is not impossible, after all, Orochimaru has a criminal record!
Sasuke and his crew rushed to the Valley of the End overnight, but just after an hour, the team discovered that there were pursuers from Konoha behind them.
"Two people in a group, move forward separately!"
Kabuto immediately gave the order, and everything in this operation had to be done according to his will. This was the power given to him by Orochimaru.
The few people who received the order naturally did not dare to raise any objections. Besides, they were just blocking them, not asking them to fight to the death. If the situation was not right, he could still escape.
Most people in the team think so, but there is always a discrepancy between reality and ideals. Whether they can escape depends on their abilities.
Soon, Akado Kai and Ken Misumi were in a group, Kin and Mizuki were in a group, Kabuto and Sasuke were in a group, and then several of them used the clone technique and scattered in groups of two.
Although the clone technique cannot last long, it can slightly interfere with the opponent's judgment and buy more time.
Their strength is not strong to begin with, and they can't exert much strength even if they get together. It is better for them to disperse and disperse the strength of the pursuers.
As these teams disperse, they will also set up traps or misleading trails along the way.
"If you can't reach the destination, our mission will be a failure! On the contrary, as long as you reach the destination, it doesn't matter even if we all die!"
Dou, who was leading the way, adjusted his glasses, and there was no emotion in his words.
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Sasuke's eyes. Since it was a mission, there was a risk of death. He just didn't expect that the other party would value him so much.
He was a little uncomfortable with being treated with such importance. Little did he know that these people were nothing but cannon fodder to Orochimaru.
Moreover, Kabuto himself believed that this operation was not only for Sasuke, but also to test his ability. If he lacked the ability, he would also be cannon fodder.
But to Orochimaru, garbage is just the essence placed in the wrong place. To move towards the future, we need not only civilization, but also some dregs!
"They've spread out here, and this is a bit troublesome!"
Ningji looked at the messy traces in front of him with a frown. He didn't expect the other party to be so cunning.
"Oh! If I had known this would happen, I should have called Ya!"
Naruto said with a look of annoyance, it would be great if there was a dog around at this moment; they thought having Neji was enough, but now it seems too ideal.
Time was too tight and no one had thought of this. We can only say that we were too young and lacked experience.
"In fact, it can be roughly divided into three directions. That side is the direction of the Land of Earth, that side is the direction of the Land of Thunder, and the one directly in front is the direction of the Land of Gold."
Shikamaru carefully analyzed the situation before him, and then pondered further.
Naruto, Neji and the others behind him could only listen quietly. Shikamaru was the smartest one.
"The three directions of travel are respectively the Shenwubi Bridge, the Beidai Bridge and... the Valley of the End!"
When Shikamaru mentioned the Valley of the End, Naruto's heart was slightly touched. He had a feeling that Sasuke should be in that direction.
"Then we will act separately. If we don't find anything, we will gather at the End Valley!"
Naruto made the final decision and the people present didn't say anything else. It seemed that this was the only way to do it now.
After saying that, Naruto rushed straight ahead, with Shikamaru following closely behind.
Rock Lee and Sakura headed towards the Kannabi Bridge, while Choji and Neji chose the Kitadai Bridge direction.
Not long after a few people left, a young man carrying a gourd on his back also came here.
After the war, Tsunade took the initiative to ease the relationship with the Sand Village, and he led the team here to discuss cooperation, but who knew that they would encounter such a coincidence.
Gaara randomly chose a direction and followed. He just came here to join in the fun, so it didn't matter where he went.
The Twelve Little Strongmen were quite capable and they caught up with the first group of enemies in a short while. However, they were a little disappointed when they found out that the person in front of them was not Sasuke.
"Red Copper Armor! It's hard to get rid of that White Eye behind you!"
Jian Meicheng said with a frown, and the opponent's speed was much faster than theirs, and it wouldn't take long for them to catch up.
Chi Tong Kai also thought of this, and his face looked bad, but a murderous intent rose up in him.
"Escape separately, and let life and death be decided by fate!"
Having said that, Chi Tong Kai ignored the other party and immediately flew in another direction.
"Huh! It's not certain who will die!"
Not sure whether it was because of the red copper armor or the pursuers behind, Jian Meicheng did not change direction, but his steps became faster.
While they were still fighting each other, Xiao Li and Shuimu had already started fighting on the other side.
Because he felt that Sakura was too slow, Xiao Li went ahead alone, but the other party might have discovered this and took the initiative to snipe him halfway.
"Watermelon-head kid, who gave you the courage to chase us alone?"
Shuimu looked at the young man in front of him sinisterly, and he and Jin blocked each other's way from the front and the back.
After realizing that he had fallen into a trap, Xiao Li did not panic, but slowly untied the bandage on his hand.
As for the last route, Shikamaru and Naruto also saw the figures of Kabuto and Sasuke.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto's shouts rang out from a distance, but perhaps because the distance was too far, his mouth-to-mouth did not have the desired effect, and the two people in front continued to run without looking back.
"Let me do it!"
As he spoke, Shikamaru performed the shadow imitation technique. Thanks to the shadows of the trees in the jungle and the bright moonlight in the sky, Shikamaru's shadow could extend very long.
"careful!"
A gleam of light from the lenses of glasses flashed by, and Dou, who had been cautious and alert, sped forward for a distance and narrowly avoided the shadow behind him.
He was already a few meters behind Sasuke, but with this burst of energy he was able to catch up with him.
"You continue forward, I'll cover your retreat!"
Before he finished speaking, Kabuto threw two detonating tags behind him.
The bright firelight immediately retracted Shikamaru's shadow, and when the smoke and dust cleared, only two figures were seen standing in front.
One was Sasuke, the other was also Sasuke, and they ran in two different directions...
