Chapter 453: Sasuke, Danzo, Obito, and Karin
After watching Sasuke leave, Haruno Sakura also quickly disappeared into the snow.
She released Sage Mode and hurried towards the place where the battle just happened with her head down.
Sasuke's chakra indeed disappeared, completely disappeared.
Suddenly disappeared from this world.
For this situation, Haruno Sakura had only one explanation—he died.
Her mood was also terrible, but Haruno Sakura also knew clearly that the world she traveled to was the world of the original story, the world of Shippuden she hadn't seen...
Sasuke couldn't die here.
According to the "plot," the second male lead, Sasuke, would definitely live to the end, and then continue to love and kill each other with the fox face.
Haruno Sakura pulled herself together and cautiously moved towards the depths of the Land of Iron.
Three Wolves Mountain.
The terrain here was very peculiar. The ridges rising from the ground looked like three giant wolves opening their bloody mouths. The most wonderful thing was that the mountain body under the wolf's mouth was actually suspended. This strange terrain was obviously not formed naturally, probably traces left by some powerful Earth Style ninja.
The Land of Iron had such a story passed down from ancient times...
But Haruno Sakura forgot.
She was also in no mood to recall these trivial matters. The girl cast her gaze on a huge, heavily guarded building under the wolf's mouth.
The samurai of the Land of Iron wore white armor and black undershirts, wore strange helmets, dressed like clone troopers in Star Wars, and ran around nervously.
"The chakra sensing of those Kage is gone... have they already left here?"
The girl sensed for a while and muttered to herself with a frown.
"Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals."
Avoiding these samurai minions whose combat power was at most five, Haruno Sakura easily infiltrated the building. In an empty hall, she found the conference room where several "Kage" had gathered before, and also saw traces of battle—
The entire underground level was blasted to pieces by fierce fighting.
"Terumi Mei's Lava Style and Boil Style, Gaara's sand, and traces of Earth Style and Lightning Style..."
"And, this is..." The girl's slender finger gently poked a few white, unrecognizable fleshy bodies on the ground, and sneered, "Seems to be the Spore Technique of that vegetable man last time!"
"It seems the show here is indeed over."
"I arrived a step late."
"Then, where did they go? What exactly happened to Sasuke?"
Haruno Sakura patted the dust on the conference table, sat cross-legged casually, and entered Sage Mode for the third time today.
Powerful perception instantly covered the entire small country, taking in everything happening on the land—
"Kisame is actually fighting nearby... this commotion, tsk tsk, even without entering Sage Mode, I can sense it clearly! Who is fighting him? Is it a Jinchuriki? That chakra doesn't look human..."
"A team of very strong ninja rushed over..."
"Eh? It's Gaara and Temari. His chakra has almost no change... No, it seems to lack the scent of the One-Tail. What happened, is he no longer a Jinchuriki?"
"Gaara is moving towards... hmm, moving towards Naruto's direction?"
"Kakashi and Yamato are also near Naruto, as well as the me of this world, Kiba, Lee... No wonder I couldn't find everyone's chakra in Konoha, turns out they are all here!"
"What exactly happened? Sasuke, there are several sensory types present, don't get discovered..."
"Eh, discovered that guy Danzo. This old scum... bringing his lackeys here, what does he want to do?"
"Wait, this is... that mysterious person's chakra! They started fighting... Good, dog eat dog!"
The girl's soliloquy echoed in the empty hall. Haruno Sakura sat leisurely, watching the show happily.
Then, a new chakra sensing suddenly appeared on the field—
"This is... Sasuke?!"
Haruno Sakura jumped up abruptly.
"You really aren't dead..."
In her perception, Sasuke was confronting Danzo energetically.
"Wait for me!"
The girl said, stepping on crystal ice blocks, instantly disappearing from the building.
Then, in almost the blink of an eye.
On the battleground between Sasuke and Danzo.
Chill suddenly escaped from the air, and ice crystals condensed out of thin air.
In the next moment, the pink-haired girl jumped out of the ice mirror agilely.
The four people present were either powerful individuals or sensory ninja, almost all sensing her appearance immediately.
Eight eyes looked over in unison, watching Haruno Sakura jump down lightly from the air, landing agilely on the edge of the battlefield.
Meeting four pairs of eyes that were either confused, surprised, or malicious, Haruno Sakura looked back calmly.
On the edge of the battlefield were an unfamiliar girl and that mysterious person hiding his head and tail.
In the center of the battlefield were Danzo Shimura, who had unlocked the mechanism on his right arm, and Sasuke Uchiha, who had unleashed Susanoo.
—The battle between the two seemed to have just begun.
"Hello..." Haruno Sakura stood high on a stone platform on the edge of the battlefield, looking at the four people, her voice indifferent and cold, speaking slowly, "Sasuke, Danzo Shimura, the guy calling himself Madara Uchiha, and an unfamiliar little girl."
"Who is it?"
"Sasuke, be careful! This person seems very strong too!" The black-haired girl hiding aside reminded loudly.
Sasuke Uchiha ignored her completely.
"Sakura...?"
Is this... Haruno Sakura?
Compared to the Sakura in his impression, the girl in front of him seemed to have suddenly become much stronger in chakra, her facial features and appearance seemed more exquisite and outstanding, and her temperament changed from gentle and soft to heroic... quite different from the her in his impression.
But Sasuke confirmed her identity quickly.
For a moment, Sasuke's expression was a bit stunned.
Stunned by how much she had changed...
Even more stunned that she would appear in front of him at this time.
However, the astonishment was only a momentary thing. After this moment, Sasuke returned to an indifferent and emotionless look. His mood was still complex, but his voice was extremely cold.
"Why are you here?"
"What are you doing... here?"
He looked at the girl in front of him.
Haruno Sakura.
Team 7's companion—used to be.
Not anymore.
Haruno Sakura's gaze swept over the four people on the field one by one, finally landing on the field.
Landing on the face of the black-haired boy shrouded in a huge purple chakra condensation.
Looking at the boy hiding himself in darkness, Haruno Sakura's mood, which was excited about finding Sasuke just now, suddenly became mixed with feelings.
Sasuke's chakra had a strange smell, making her feel very unfamiliar!
After defecting to Orochimaru, what exactly did Sasuke experience after Shippuden to make his chakra so desperate and dark?
At this moment, Sakura's feelings were indescribable.
"Sasuke..." Haruno Sakura opened her mouth futilely, but for a moment didn't know what to say.
"How did you... become like this?"
"You came to find me, is it the same old trick of wanting to persuade me back to Konoha?" Sasuke suddenly sneered.
"Enough, I've said it many times. I'm not interested in your house-playing ninja games..."
Sasuke's voice suddenly became low, like a beast preparing to roar.
"I have my goals, I have my ninja path! Stop standing in my way, or I'll kill you!"
Genuine killing intent overflowed from this black-haired boy!
"Konoha ninja using Ice Style..." Obito Uchiha, sitting on the other side, tilted his head, looking at the girl who suddenly broke into the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over the ice mirror in the air, landing on the forehead protector she used as a hairband.
"Sasuke, you seem to know her." He suddenly laughed, "Then let me give you a piece of advice. Your past companions have now become your enemies, don't be soft-hearted!"
When speaking the last part, Obito's voice became particularly cold.
Cold like a glacier that never melts for ten thousand years.
Naked malice, and even substantial killing intent, surged from the two Uchiha present, enveloping the girl.
She should be trembling with fear, right? Based on the Haruno Sakura in his impression, Sasuke made a judgment.
Facing such terrifying chakra aura head-on, if it were the weak girl in his memory, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand steadily, trembling on the ground!
He turned his head away, not wanting to see the ugly state of his former companion.
But didn't hear the sound of the girl crying.
Only heard a voice colder than their tone, with sharper killing intent—
"So it's you inciting Sasuke into darkness?"
"Mouse hiding its head and showing its tail?"
Behind him, a terrifyingly huge chakra reaction came!
