Chapter 25 The Sound Four Appear
Just as Sasuke's thoughts were disturbed by their words, Sakura recognized the symbol on their forehead protectors.
Sakura remembered that symbol very clearly.
Previously, when Orochimaru killed the Sandaimein the Village, Otogakure had appeared.
Now, seeing these Otogakure ninja again, Sakurafelt an inexplicable fear in her heart.
Lee, who was beside her, was full of passion, but facing such enemies, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Moreover, there were four of them, and only three of them, with Sasuke still distracted.
"Sakura, we shouldn't be their opponents! What should we do now?"
Lee also realized that the current situation was not in their favor, so he asked Sakura.
It was clear that the sudden appearance of these people was definitely not for a stroll.
Once they actually started fighting, no one knew what the outcome would be.
And just as Sakura and Lee were both worried, Sasuke finally clenched his fists and moved without a word.
"Bastards! Don't mention that name to me!"
"You bunch of scumbags! Go to hell!"
Sasuke was now consumed by hatred, and in the next moment, he charged directly into the Sound Four.
Seeing Sasuke suddenly attack, Sakura and Lee were a bit helpless.
However, just as the two were about to help Sasuke, he coldly shouted at them.
"Don't get in the way here!"
"Go back to the Village and get help! I'll hold them off!"
Although Sasuke was blinded by hatred, he still retained a sliver of clarity.
He knew very well that he couldn't let Sakura and Lee also fall into danger.
So he planned to send the two away and then take on the Sound Four himself.
However, just as Sasuke told Sakura and Lee to leave, Sakura shook her head.
"No! Sasuke-kun, it's too dangerous for you to stay alone!"
"We're teammates! I want to stay and help you!"
Sakura said, already preparing to fight, but before she could take a few steps, Sasuke shouted coldly again.
"Help me? With your strength?"
"You'll only drag me down if you stay!"
"Without you, I might be able to perform better! Get out of here quickly!"
As Sasuke spoke, a shuriken shot directly at Sakura's feet, forcing her back.
Seeing this, Sakura, though very unwilling, ultimately chose to stop.
Lee, who was beside her, had originally intended to help, but seeing this scene, he could only leave with Sakura.
And as those two left, the Sound Four seemed to not even have them in their eyes.
At this moment, they had no intention of pursuing them, but instead focused their attention on Sasuke.
They had been ordered by Lord Orochimaru to specifically come for Sasuke this time.
So, besides Sasuke, they didn't care about anyone else at all.
Originally, they had planned to enter the Village to find Sasuke, but who would have thought they would meet him here, which suited their intentions perfectly.
"Tsk tsk, are all Uchiha Clan members so hot-headed?"
At this moment, as the Sound Four stared at Sasuke, Sasuke directly used the Great Fireball Technique to spray at them.
After the violent explosion, he originally thought he could catch the opponent off guard.
But it was quickly blocked by the Sound Four.
It must be said that the strength of the Sound Fourat this time was more than a little stronger than Sasuke's.
So Sasuke's attack was simply child's play to them.
"Alas, I really don't know what Lord Orochimarusees in this guy!"
"Is it just because this guy has the Sharingan and is from the Uchiha Clan?"
"Tch, I don't think this guy is that great!"
After easily blocking Sasuke's attack, Kidōmaru, the most mischievous of the Sound Four, couldn't help but speak.
From his tone, Sasuke heard a full measure of disdain.
This also made Sasuke irritable again; he was already bothered by Naruto surpassing him.
Now, he became even more furious.
So Sasuke quickly launched another attack, this time even activating his Sharingan to fight.
However, no matter how Sasuke struggled, it seemed to have no effect in front of the Sound Four.
Soon, Sasuke was like a plaything in their hands, until his Chakra was more than half depleted, and the Sound Four finally forced him back to a large tree.
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you too weak?"
"Lord Orochimaru didn't make a mistake, did he? Sending us to bring back such a waste!"
"What a waste of time!"
Kidōmaru mocked Sasuke again, but just as Kidōmaru's words fell, the curse mark on Sasuke's body lit up.
The next moment, Sasuke seemed to want to continue attacking with the curse mark, but before he could act, he was pressed to the ground again.
"Tsk tsk, do you think you're the only one with a curse mark?"
The speaker was Sakon, the strongest of the Sound Four; this guy was almost a pervert.
At this moment, a curse mark also appeared on his body, instantly making Sasuke a bit at a loss.
"Hmph! Foolish guy! Did you forget what you should be doing?"
"Staying in a place like this will only hinder you from getting stronger!"
"Do you want to pursue power? Then abandon everything here!"
"Like us, follow Lord Orochimaru, otherwise, you'll always be a waste!"
Sakon finished speaking and kicked Sasuke.
The next moment, just as Sasuke was about to retort, the Sound Four suddenly vanished from their original spot.
Clearly, the appearance of the Sound Four was to stir up the hatred in Sasuke's body and force him to make a choice.
And Sasuke at this moment finally understood the gap in strength; every time he thought of Uchiha Itachi's gaze, he became incredibly angry.
Coupled with Naruto's recent progress, Sasukewas even more eager to become stronger.
"No! I can't stay in the Village anymore!"
"I need to become stronger! Staying here will only waste time!"
Sasuke secretly made up his mind, then struggled to support his body and disappeared into the darkness.
On the other side, Sakura and Lee originally intended to return to the Village to find someone to rescue Sasuke.
However, before they could return to the Village, Sasuke had already caught up from behind.
Seeing Sasuke, Sakura was overjoyed, but Sasukewas even colder than before.
He didn't say another word until they returned to the Village.
By this time, it was already evening, and Narutohad already awakened under Tsunade's treatment.
Lying in the hospital bed, Naruto was scolded by Tsunade.
"Naruto! If you dare to act recklessly again, I'll break your legs!"
After Tsunade dropped a harsh warning, she disappeared down the corridor.
After Tsunade left, Naruto chuckled sheepishly.
Especially when he thought that he had already mastered the strongest taijutsu, Eight Gates, Naruto couldn't stop grinning.
However, just as Naruto was secretly delighted lying in the hospital bed, Sasuke's figure suddenly flashed past the window.
Seeing Sasuke, Naruto couldn't help but click his tongue.
