Chapter 223 Leaving You Alone to Eat So Much Bitterness (Ch 223)

Shukaku opened his mouth to store another Tailed Beast Ball. The purple-black vortex deep in his throat was captivating and terrifying.

“Naraku!”

The first ones to come to Naraku were Inuzuka Tsuma and Might Guy. They didn’t retreat far and realized something was wrong the moment Susanoo disappeared.

Might Guy opened his arms and stood in front to block. Inuzuka Tsumugi pulled Naraku’s clothes and tried to take him away, but his exhausted body couldn’t even lift a boy.

Although she also knew that such behavior would not help at all.

But as long as this can increase Naraku’s chances of survival a little bit, and make him die later than herself from the power of the Tailed Beast Ball, she is willing to make any attempt.

The same went for the surviving ninjas, who formed several layers inside and outside to protect Naraku inside.

Since they are destined to die, let them die before this young man.

“It’s all right.”

Naraku’s light murmur was drowned in the blood, blurring into three or two simple syllables, and Inuzuka Tsuma didn’t hear the meaning clearly.

She lowered her head and saw Naraku lying quietly in her arms, his eyes following the sun, as if trying to feel the remaining warmth brought by the last ray of sunlight.

–Is Kakashi on another battlefield also looking at the same sunset?

This question was a bit absurd, but Naraku inexplicably felt some kind of connection between souls.

–Perhaps, there really is such a thing as telepathy between friends.

–Luckily Kakashi didn’t see this embarrassment, otherwise he would be sad again.

Naraku thought deeply, and when he heard Inuzuka Tsume asking what he was talking about, he repeated again: “It’s all right now.”

The setting sun sank into the horizon, the red glow disappeared, and night fell.

Inuzuka Tsume was a little confused, but the next second, his sharp ears heard a faint roar from behind him.

A Konoha ninja wearing a forehead protector and a vest ran up from behind, passed by the side of the crowd, and charged towards the Sand ninja.

Then there was one, two, three…

“We are here! Get to the back!”

“You guys are great for sticking with it until now!”

“Go to hell, damn Sunagakure!”

“Kill them all!”

Countless companions who came to support shouted to each other, and turned into a black and green crowd that emerged from both sides of the wounded ninjas, sweeping over the mountain top, carrying anger and hatred and slamming into the steep slope where the Sand Village was entrenched, splashing blood and rain.

Shukaku lowered his head and aimed his huge mouth at the place where there were the most Konoha ninjas. The chaos sphere seemed to expand to its limit.

“No!” Inuzuka claws roared and tried to stop him: “Go! Sand Village has a tailed beast——”

Swoosh——

A fiery red shadow suddenly jumped out from the junction of dusk and night. Before it landed on the ground, a blue light flashed in front of it, and a thick and long beam of light shot out rapidly and pierced Shukaku’s head.

The giant yellow sand beast howled and fell backwards. The beam of light suddenly moved upward and cut directly into the Tailed Beast Ball in front of it that had not yet been fired.

boom!

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded with a loud bang, causing a violent gale. The already devastated battlefield was suddenly filled with flying sand and rocks, and people were blown to all directions and unable to stand steadily.

When the storm subsided, Inuzuka Tsume put down her arms and stared blankly at the other person’s bright red hair fluttering in the wind. He was wearing a neat ninja uniform, which looked so strange that she hardly recognized him.

“Kushina…?”

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

Kushina just glanced back quickly and then closed her eyes in pain, not daring to look at Naraku’s pale face again.

In her perception, Naraku’s chakra reaction was so weak that it was close to exhaustion, and even the most basic operations could hardly be maintained.

When the flow of chakra stops, that is the moment of death.

That was the child that Mikoto and Fugaku had cherished and cared for for more than two years. He was the most important disciple and friend of Sakumo and Kakashi.

He already had a short life span due to his illness, and now he was as precarious as a candle in the wind.

The Nine-Tailed Fox’s unconvinced shouting sounded in her mind again. She was in no mood to talk about any big principles, so she cursed back viciously.

“Shut up, you stinky fox! I’m using your chakra, so what?! Not only am I going to use it, I’m also going to use your chakra to beat the tail! If you don’t agree, hold it in!!”

The nine-tailed fox that was making a lot of noise just now suddenly became silent.

Kushina, who was still furious and full of fighting spirit, drew a huge amount of chakra from the Nine-Tails. The tailed beast coat surged out of her body, and the red and blue energy mixed and condensed once again.

Shukaku recognized the chakra aura of the strange red-haired woman as the Nine-Tails, and wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson, but he was bombarded by the endless Tailed Beast Balls and fled in panic.

With Kushina’s cover, the Konoha troops’ counterattack was unstoppable and they quickly drove the Sand Ninja down the mountainside.

“Aunt Inuzuka…” Naraku called softly with half-closed eyes, raised his right hand slightly and pointed at the waist bag, “There is a talisman paper in the interlayer… maybe…”

Before he could finish his words, someone instantly appeared next to Naraku, reached into his waist bag before Inuzuka clawed at him, took out a piece of paper covered with green spells from the interlayer, and stuck it to his chest, using chakra to stimulate it.

Sensing the extremely familiar chakra, Naraku tilted his head slightly, trying to see if the other party was angry at his willful behavior.

Those gentle black pupils probably contain a lot of anger, right?

Unfortunately, due to his damaged eyesight, he could only see a blurry figure.

“beautiful,”

Just as Naraku opened his mouth to apologize, he was embraced in a warm embrace. The warmth seeped into his skin through the fabric of his clothes and soaked into his bones.

“I’m sorry, Naraku…” The usually dignified and gentle voice was choked with sobs, “I made you suffer so much alone…”

Drops of water fell on his face, feeling a little cool and a little hot. Naraku couldn’t tell the difference in his daze.

–It turns out that my mother will never blame me…

The talisman paper glowed with a light green light, and the nourishing and peaceful energy merged into the bones and blood, soothing the organs and limbs that were on the verge of collapse, and repairing the meridian damage caused by chakra overdraft bit by bit.

Although the effect was not very significant, it managed to save Naraku’s life and prevent him from continuing to weaken.

With the blessing of [Izanagi: Change of Fate], the only successful healing talisman in the laboratory gave him a means to survive.
