Chapter 502
["If I hadn't known him beforehand, I would have thought Gaara was a ninja from Konoha."]
["It's wrong for him to be here, even if he's here as Naruto's friend, there's no reason for him to stop Naruto."]
["No, no! No way! I won't let Kakashi-sensei do that! I don't want anyone to die!" Naruto responded like a sulky child, and then continued to attack without stopping. 】
【"That's just an ideal. If we want to turn this ideal into reality, we are not qualified now." Gaara increased the protection of the sand and directly created a protective wall around his body without dead angles: "I am the Wind Shadow of Sunagakure. Now everyone's life is tied to my back, so I can't accompany you for your ideal!"】
【After saying that, a large amount of sand came towards him. Naruto took a lot of effort to take on this wave of attacks. He said breathlessly: "Why can't you understand that my...Kakashi teacher's life and the lives of everyone in the village can be weighed on the scale!"】
【"Me!" Naruto performed the Rasengan, jumped high, and roared loudly: "I want to protect...Kakashi teacher!"】
【With these words, Naruto fell from the sky, broke the protective wall built by Gaara with the Rasengan, and rushed from behind him, and then punched Gaara in the face. 】
【“Why don’t you understand!”】
[“Wow! Naruto, why are you acting like a girl with a little temper? It makes people feel that you are being unreasonable!”]
[“If we look at it from the traditional ninja’s standard, he is indeed being unreasonable...”]
[“Hiss! It’s confirmed! Gaara thinks he is not strong enough, and he also thinks that if Hiruko takes action, the lives of those around him will be in danger, so he stopped Naruto from saving Kakashi.”]
[“Oh my God, who is Hiruko? When Pein appeared before, no one thought he was invincible.”]
[“Although what Gaara said seems to make sense, he is really not suitable to appear here. After all, Naruto just wants to save his teacher.”]
[““I want to protect Kakashi-sensei, why don’t you understand!” Naruto said it so affectionately, can’t he just let him go! (Laughing with sidelong eyes)”]
[“Hahaha, the famous Sharingan Kakashi has become a character who needs students’ care and protection. This contrast is really hilarious!”]
‘Stop it, stop it... I know you care about me, so please stop it, Naruto...’
Kakashi’s face turned red, his eyes turned white, and sweat poured down his face. He is a capable man, and he is really not used to being treated like this!
At this time, Akai on the side didn’t care about the atmosphere at all. He patted Kakashi’s shoulder heavily, and cried as if no one was there, saying: “Wow~~ I am so touched, Kakashi, you have a student who cares about you so much, I am so touched by you! Don’t worry, if you encounter the same thing in the future, I will definitely try my best to save you and protect you like Naruto! "
'Please spare me...' Kakashi had a look of being teased, and he was grinning foolishly.
[While Naruto was fighting Gaara, the third and tenth teams in the rear rushed to the battlefield of Ino-Shika-Chou. Then, under the command of Shikamaru, the three teams cooperated to capture the monster formed by the fusion of the Kigera technique with chains.]
[After completing this step, Shikamaru continued to move forward alone at the request of others. Not long after, he saw Gaara and learned from him that Naruto and the others had continued to move towards Kakashi. Go west. ]
[Gaara also gave his reasons for changing his mind. Even though theoretically only Kakashi's strategy could defeat Hiruzen, he was still moved by Naruto's determination and bet on Naruto like Jiraiya. ]
["Sometimes people are really envious of people who can act as they please..." Shikamaru sighed softly, and then quickly showed a firm look: "But now is not the time to say that... I must protect the jade entrusted to me by Asuma, and I must protect the children who shoulder the future of the village!"]
[After a pause, Shikamaru lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I will stop Naruto, even if it means killing him..."]
["Ah, Hiruzen's three subordinates are really no good. They were suppressed by a few chains."]
["To be honest, when the leader is considered to be an unmatched existence, is it really reasonable that his subordinates are so weak?"]
["In the end, it was still Naruto who never gave up's willpower overcame everything. Just a fight made Gaara change his mind instantly. "]
["Shikamaru is serious. He actually said he would kill Naruto to stop him."]
["Since you have made this determination, why not just let Naruto fight with Hiruzen. If it turns out that it doesn't work, why not let Kakashi carry out his plan?"]
["Ah, I'm not surprised at all by what Shikamaru said. Anyway, he will definitely stand on Naruto's side like Gaara later."]
Naruto didn't care much about Shikamaru's blunt statement that he wanted to kill him. Instead, he was very upset that Shikamaru kept stopping him from saving Kakashi.
"When did Shikamaru become so annoying? "
Little did he know that Shikamaru himself was also very depressed at this time. Although the jade entrusted by Asuma was very important, was the situation really so critical that he needed to sacrifice his companions to save the situation? Shikamaru really didn't understand this.
"It's so troublesome to be asked to do this..."
[Naruto caught up with Sakura and Sai, and then quickly intercepted the controlled Kakashi at the place where Sai was injured and fell to the ground during the previous exploration mission.]
[But no matter how Naruto shouted, Kakashi never gave any response and moved forward on his own. Just when Naruto couldn't help but want to forcibly stop Kakashi's actions, he happened to notice a special pattern engraved on his wrist.]
["What is that?" Naruto asked puzzledly. Sai, who also saw the pattern, explained: "It's a time-limited technique. Even if you faint due to torture, the technique will be activated on time."]
["Isn't that a living time bomb! "Sakura exclaimed immediately upon hearing this, and Sai also said that even in the Root, this is a last resort that is rarely used.】
