Chapter 42
The red chakra disappeared from Naruto, and with it came a feeling of weakness again. Naruto's whole body softened and he almost fell to the ground, but at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared. Sasuke reached out and grabbed Naruto, turned around and disappeared in a flash. Kakashi held the thunder in his hand, and his Sharingan was much faster than every previous rotation: "Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Slash!" Two huge thunder dragons separated from the thunder in Kakashi's hand, and wrapped around Shukaku's arm like a chain. The powerful force burst out instantly, and the thunder was a punishment from heaven. Even Shukaku's tailed beast body was destroyed by this sudden attack, and the sand on his arm fell off. Although the body was not completely destroyed, it did cause some damage to Shukaku.
After using the ninjutsu, Kakashi retreated directly, using the instant body technique without hesitation, grabbing Sasuke and Naruto and disappearing on the spot. When he looked again, he was already a hundred meters away.
Shukaku exclaimed softly and took two steps back, but this injury was not enough to hurt him. He was not in the medium state now, but in the real body. It was a bit too fantastic to use a lightning escape to knock him back.
"Kakashi... Teacher?" Naruto, who was carried on Kakashi's shoulders, was a little dazed.
"Ah." Kakashi replied with a serious face, "This is not something you can deal with, Sasuke, you just take Naruto and leave quickly, Asuma and I will find a way to stop the tailed beast."
Kakashi's tone was full of unquestionable, even Sasuke was shocked, it seemed that since he met Kakashi, this was the first time he saw Kakashi so serious.
However, to Kakashi's surprise, Shukaku did not catch up. He just recovered his arm and stood there looking at the backs of the three people, as if thinking about something.
After a thousand meters away, Kakashi stopped and turned to look at Shukaku standing there, seeming a little puzzled. Could this tailed beast be resting? Did Naruto hurt him before?
But now is not the time to think about these things. Kakashi handed Naruto to Sasuke and said seriously: "Sasuke, take Naruto and go quickly, notify the jonin, and go find Jiraiya-sama, Naruto knows who he is."
Kakashi's judgment is the same as Kurama's. In the current situation, only Jiraiya can seal Shukaku.
Naruto struggled to lean on Sasuke, blood stained Sasuke's clothes along with the wound, but he didn't care: "Teacher Kakashi, I can still fight, I have to stop that guy, otherwise Konoha will..."
"This is the business of the jonin!" Kakashi almost shouted this sentence, "You genin just need to stay behind and watch our active backs."
Theoretically, Kakashi would not say such a thing with his personality, but in this situation, what emerged in his mind was the scene twelve years ago, the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Kakashi, Kai, Asuma, Hong, Red Bean, etc., all of their generation were arranged in the shelter of Konoha, and the chunin was responsible for protecting them.
At that time, they wanted to help, and the jonin who was responsible for sending them here said the above sentence when he looked at them.
Obviously, Kakashi was already a jonin at that time, and obviously, everyone had already become a chunnin at that time, but when they really encountered a battle, they could only hide at the back and watch, watching the tailed beast destroy Konoha, watching their master and mistress die under the attack of the tailed beast to save the village.
Kakashi clenched his fists, and his Sharingan emitted a faint red light. This kind of thing... once is enough.
He looked at Naruto, and his tone was slightly relaxed, just like usual: "Naruto, you have a more important task now, an S-level task, to save Konoha, so leave this to us."
Naruto stared at Kakashi in front of him, the lazy man, but at this moment he seemed to be emitting light.
Two more figures fell, and Asuma's voice was as cheerful as ever: "Kakashi is right, you are the next generation of Konoha. Instead of letting you die, it is better to let you see the handsome backs of the jonins now."
Hong chuckled beside him: "Well, we also need to let you know why we are jonins, not just because of strength."
Sasuke lowered his head. He had not spoken all the time, but his teeth were almost bleeding. He hated that he was not strong enough.
"Sasuke..." At this moment, Naruto suddenly called him, and Sasuke raised his head, his face still had that
A cold expression, but at this moment, he is colder than ever before.
"Are you afraid of death?" Naruto turned his head and looked at him, with the same smile as always on Naruto's face, "I'm not afraid of death, so if you are afraid of death, go first and find the lecherous immortal."
Sasuke clenched his fists, his face did not change much: "Afraid of death? I really don't want to die, but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of death. Also, you can only stand up with me now, so be careful when you talk, or I'll throw you to the ground."
Naruto smiled and touched the back of his head: "In that case, let's join forces, join forces... and beat that guy up."
"I don't think the two of us can beat that monster." Sasuke is very rational.
He is not stupid. Although he is stubborn, if he goes up now, it's not stubborn, it's looking for death. He hasn't taken revenge yet and doesn't want to die.
"That's not a monster." Naruto shook his head slightly, looking at Shukaku in the distance and said, "His name is Shukaku, the one-tailed beast Shukaku. He is no different from humans. He can communicate, get angry, and curse. It's just that his values are different from humans."
"You also know values." Sasuke snorted lightly, as if sneering, "Different values determine that we will not be friends. Since we are not friends, we are enemies, not to mention that he is now standing on the opposite side of us."
After speaking, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a mocking tone: "So are you going to go up and reason with the monster called Shukaku?"
"No!" Naruto shook his head firmly, "I said, I'm going to beat him."
Sasuke almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. Doesn't this guy understand human words? The problem now is not whether we are afraid of death, but that we have no possibility of winning at all. There is a difference between sending death and not fearing death.
But just as he was about to say that, he heard Naruto suddenly say: "Sasuke, I have a way, but Kurama said that if I do this, even if I don't die, I will lose a layer of skin, and I may not even be able to be a ninja next."
"!!" Sasuke was surprised.
Naruto continued: "I have also considered that if I can't be a ninja, I can't be a Hokage, and being a Hokage is my dream. I don't want to give up my dream, but I also want to protect the village, so..."
He looked at Sasuke: "Sasuke, if I can't be a ninja in the future, can you be a Hokage? Can you... continue to help me protect Konoha?"
Sasuke opened his eyes wide: "You guy, do you know what you are talking about?"
