Chapter 110: The New Member of This Mission
"Yamato?"
Kakashi was slightly stunned; he naturally knew Yamato's strength.
Since Lord Byakuya had already decided, he couldn't say anything more.
Soon, Byakuya selected suitable candidates from the Anbu, and the new Kakashi Team was formed.
Under Byakuya's appointment, Yamato immediately took on the role of acting captain for Kakashi Team and gathered the members to meet. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Yamato was already at odds with Naruto and the others.
"Are you a rookie? To actually use such a pointless Transformation Jutsu!"
"Humph! You're not much better yourself! You're just a monster who can use Wood Release!"
Naruto and Yamato started arguing as soon as they met, leaving Kakashi and Sakura feeling somewhat helpless.
"Alright, stop arguing. We are a team, and we need to work together to complete the mission."
Kakashi interrupted their argument and pointed to a girl nearby, "This is Matsuri, a new member for our mission this time. Everyone, get to know each other."
"Matsuri? What a strange name, what a strange name."
Naruto looked at Matsuri with a look of disdain on his face.
"Humph, your name is the strange one! You sound like an idiot!"
Matsuri shot back without backing down.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
Kakashi rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache, "Time is tight, we need to set off quickly."
Under Yamato's threats and Kakashi's mediation, Kakashi Team finally achieved a superficial level of integration, yet Matsuri still couldn't fit in with Naruto and the others.
Matsuri remained taciturn, only speaking a few words to Sakura occasionally.
Sakura noticed that Matsuri seemed interested in drawing, so she started chatting with her.
"Matsuri, do you like drawing a lot?"
Sakura looked at the sketchbook in Matsuri's hand and asked curiously.
"Yes, it's my only hobby."
Matsuri nodded, a rare smile appearing on her face.
However, when Sakura saw Matsuri's drawings, she felt they were a bit eerie.
Matsuri's drawings were filled with dark and twisted elements, making one feel uneasy.
"Matsuri, your drawings... are so strange."
Sakura couldn't help but say.
"Humph, you don't understand art."
Matsuri snorted coldly and closed the sketchbook.
As time passed, Kakashi Team gradually began to work together better.
To ensure the mission's success, Yamato decided to hold a pre-mission meeting.
"Our goal is to capture the spy Sasori sent to Orochimaru's side and then extract information about the Akatsuki Organization from him."
Yamato said slowly, "This mission is very dangerous, everyone must act with caution."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Afterwards, Yamato began combat simulation training.
He used Wood Release secret techniques to create wooden figures resembling members of the Akatsuki Organization for Kakashi Team to practice combat.
However, during the training, Yamato noticed that the relationship between Naruto and Matsuri didn't seem very good.
The two often argued over trivial matters, even affecting the effectiveness of the training.
"Naruto, Matsuri, you two need to concentrate and not bring your emotions into the training!"
Yamato reminded them with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes..."
The two responded somewhat reluctantly and then went their separate ways.
As time went on, Kakashi Team's training gradually drew to a close.
Yamato discovered that Matsuri's strength seemed much greater than he had imagined.
Her speed was very fast, and her attacks were very sharp; even Naruto was somewhat unable to withstand them.
"Matsuri, your strength is impressive!"
Yamato couldn't help but praise.
"Humph, of course."
Matsuri smiled proudly, "I have undergone rigorous training."
"Training?"
Yamato was slightly taken aback, "Where did you receive your training?"
However, Matsuri did not answer his question but fell silent.
Yamato didn't ask further; he knew everyone had their own secrets.
Although the relationship between Naruto and Matsuri was still somewhat tense, Sakura had been working hard to mediate between them.
She told Naruto that Matsuri didn't actually have any ill intent; she was just a bit withdrawn.
And Matsuri also seemed to be moved by Sakura's sincerity, beginning to slowly accept them.
"As long as I can rescue Sasuke, I'll team up with Matsuri to fight the Akatsuki Organization, regardless of whether we get along!"
Naruto said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Yes, me too!"
Sakura also nodded, "Let's work together to rescue Sasuke!"
After everything was ready, Yamato disguised himself as Sasori and headed to Tenchi Bridge for the meeting.
However, when they saw the spy sent by Akatsuki, they were surprised to find it was actually Kabuto!
"How could it be you?"
Yamato asked with a frown... "Humph, this is what I owe Lord Orochimaru, and you forced me into this, don't blame me!"
Kabuto said with a cold laugh.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out...
"As expected of Konoha, your alertness is quite high..."
As the voice faded, Orochimaru's cold face appeared in everyone's sight!
"Orochimaru..."
The expressions of Yamato and the others instantly became grave.
They hadn't expected Orochimaru to show up in person!
"Humph, it seems I'll have to put in a bit more effort this time..."
Orochimaru walked forward slowly, the powerful aura radiating from him putting immense pressure on Yamato and the others.
"Captain Yamato, what do we do now?"
Naruto's voice trembled slightly.
Although they were prepared for battle, they still felt a bit uncertain facing a powerful enemy like Orochimaru.
"Don't act rashly for now, let's see what he's up to."
Yamato said in a low voice.
However, Orochimaru didn't give them much of a chance.
He launched an attack directly, targeting Yamato!
"Konoha Body Flicker Jutsu!"
Yamato reacted quickly, immediately using the Body Flicker Jutsu to dodge Orochimaru's attack.
"Humph, your opponent is me!"
Kabuto also joined the battle, directly attacking Naruto and the others.
"Naruto, Sakura, Matsuri, be careful!"
Yamato's voice rang in their ears, and Naruto and the others immediately entered a combat state.
However, they soon discovered that Kabuto's strength had increased significantly compared to before, and they were somewhat unable to hold him off.
Seeing this, Yamato knew they couldn't delay any longer.
He took a deep breath and then shouted loudly, "Naruto, Sakura, Matsuri, let's go together!"
At Yamato's shout, Sakura and the others also understood the current situation and no longer held back. Matsuri temporarily set aside her prejudice against Naruto, and the three joined forces to fight Kabuto.
However, while they were in the middle of a fierce battle, Orochimaru's voice suddenly rang in Naruto's ear: "Naruto, did you know? The Nine-Tailed fox inside you was sealed by me personally back then..."
Hearing this, Naruto was shocked, and an indescribable anger welled up in his heart.
