Chapter 555: The Snake
In the Land of Fire.
A few shinobi were hurriedly moving around in the forest.
Forests were very common in the Land of Fire. More than two-thirds of the Land of Fire was covered with vegetation.
— Sakura, Kakashi's condition is stable?
The group stopped briefly in the woods for a breather. There were seven of them in total. They were all from Konoha.
Guy and Sakura were carrying a simple stretcher with Kakashi tied to it.
Although Guy saved Kakashi, Kakashi's injuries were too severe. Two attacks pierced through his chest, and only they were enough to send a person to the next world. In addition to them, his body was pierced by azure spikes, which caused his chakra to literally almost evaporate.
Although several hours had passed since the battle, the azure spikes had not dissipated.
It was impossible to remove these spikes from Kakashi's body. These thorns were like a thorn flower that had taken root in Kakashi's body and was draining his chakra. In addition, there were more than a dozen thorns in Kakashi's chest cavity, and unless Kakashi was opened, it would be impossible to pull them out.
Kakashi himself was now half-delirious and his face was pale due to the heavy loss of blood.
— Sakura, Kakashi-sensei... Naruto looked really bad. If he wasn't too reckless, Kakashi wouldn't be in this state. "Sakura, Sakura! Naruto had to call out to Sakura several times before she came to her senses. Sakura's complexion was rather pale, but she was a medic and had to always be calm.
— But?
— Like Kakashi-sensei?
— Everything is fine... Sakura wouldn't say that Kakashi was probably going to die. These spikes were too difficult to pull out, and while inside it, they sucked in chakra and caused damage to the human body.
These spikes not only absorbed Kakashi's chakra, but also greatly hindered Sakura's healing.
— Let's get back to Konoha as soon as possible. Maybe Tsunade can do something. I can only guarantee that Mr. Kakashi won't die on the way, " Sakura's words made Naruto and Guy frown deeply.
— Who the hell hurt Kakashi-sensei so badly? Naruto asked and gritted his teeth.
— The shinobi who uses a sword is called Byakuya, nothing else is known, " as soon as Guy finished speaking, Kakashi coughed, and Sakura's hands immediately flickered with green light and began to help Kakashi.
— Kakashi-sensei might not be able to be a shinobi anymore... - when Sakura said this heavy news, Naruto froze in place, as if he was struck by lightning.
He firmly memorized one person in his mind. It was a guy with a long sword and a cigarette in his mouth on a rock.
Soon, the group continued walking. If Kakashi died on the way, Su Xiao would be very satisfied. After all, Kakashi was a very important character.
----
River Country, in a small village.
Su Xiao was sitting in front of a small river. His entire body was covered in sweat.
He had just finished with his daily training.
Deidara left at night and never came back.
Su Xiao sat on the bank of a small river and looked at the rushing water and swimming fish. He was wondering if he should have gone after the intruder first, or if he should have sold Obito's sharingan first.
After thinking for a bit, Su Xiao decided to find the intruder first.
Although the hunter's mission didn't have any penalties, it didn't mean that he didn't bear any punishment for failing it. After all, he was working for Heaven.
And his past experience as a judge always told him that he should not forget about his mission as a hunter.
If he hadn't taken such a huge risk back then, he would have ended up dying.
Su Xiao didn't want to find himself in such a situation again, so he had to complete his mission as a hunter.
— Mumble! Su Xiao shouted, and after a few minutes, Mumbling with grass all over his body and a cat in his mouth, he walked up to Su Xiao.
— Why are you holding it in your mouth?
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Bubtney released the frightened wildcat, and his eyes seemed to want to say, " Master, she's looking down on me!»
Su Xiao understood what Bubtny wanted to say.
— It's okay, she looks down on me too.
A cat is a kind of magical animal, whether you are rich or poor, it will still look down on you...
Bubtney was a little depressed, but in the end decided not to harm this wildcat. Excluding the fact that this wildcat looked down on other creatures, it looked pretty good.
Su Xiao got on the Bubtni and headed straight for the border of the Fire Country, leaving the terrified wildcat behind.
After Su Xiao left, the wildcat stopped licking itself and the ignorance disappeared from its eyes.
— About? Is this the contractor who joined Akatsuki? His aura is terrifying. It almost revealed me. Eh, I was just wondering where such a beautiful dog came from in Naruto — " the wildcat muttered and lazily stretched out on the grass. From time to time, her tail lifted, but even so, she looked like the laziest cat in the world.
— Okay, this has nothing to do with me anyway. Since you didn't see me, I didn't see you. Such a vicious guy shouldn't be offended just like that, " the wildcat's body gradually began to increase in size, and soon it turned into a blonde beauty with cat ears. "Oh, you slobbered all over me, I hate dogs for that!" and with that, she jumped into the river. She wasn't weak, but she didn't like fighting. Her main occupation was to travel in the form of a cat to the derived worlds and enjoy life.
Night, on the border of the Land of Fire, near the big wooden bridge.
Su Xiao sighed. He had been waiting near this bridge for three days, but he hadn't even seen a ghost, let alone an intruder.
He was already beginning to think that Kakuzu's information was false.
— If he lied, I'll kill him, " Su Xiao muttered and took a bite of the red apple. His mouth immediately filled with sweet juice and pulp.
The night wind blew through the trees and they began to rustle. The night forest was never quiet.
*Whew~*
Hearing a strange sound, Su Xiao stopped chewing and listened.
A snake crawled out of the woods nearby. When Su Xiao saw her, he continued to eat the apple.
— Get out if you have the guts, and get out if you don't.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Bubtny, who was lying next to him, raised his head and stared at the forest nearby.
*Clap-clap-clap*
After applauding for a bit, a figure soon walked out of the forest. The man wore large glasses on his face, and his gray hair was pulled back in a bun.
— Thankfully, Mr. Byakuya was actually able to discover me, " the guy said with a vague smile on his face and a very modest look on his face.
The appearance of this guy meant that Orochimaru was somewhere nearby.
— Didn't Lord Byakuya come here to see me instead of Sasori? Although this happened a few days earlier, it is...
— No.
Kabuto Yakushi was a little surprised. Su Xiao and Sasori were in the same group, so he was obviously thinking of something else entirely.
