I am the most popular character in Naruto!

The person who had been torn between the two of them has appeared!

"Sasuke-kun..."

Sakura's unease was confirmed by Naruto; she clenched her fists, bit her lip, and stood still.

For the past three years, she has been hoping to grow and be able to provide Sasuke with enough support.

She never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again when Sasuke left Konoha!

Sasuke went there seeking power. If we show him that he can also gain power in Konoha, would he stay?

"Sakura-chan! I can't wait any longer, I'm going to go straight for it!"

Compared to Sakura, who hesitated and felt sentimental, Naruto was much more direct.

Amidst Yamato's furious cries for help, Naruto took the lead and charged directly at Sasuke, who was relentlessly slaughtering his shadow clones.

Chapter 670 Sai and Sasuke

boom!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

Sasuke strolled leisurely through the encirclement of Naruto's shadow clones, his Kusanagi sword swiftly slicing through the throats of the shadow clones, turning the shattering sounds of the killing into a beautiful symphony.

"Hmph, as endless as insects."

Sasuke gave a light snort and decisively stretched out his hand, activating his own chakra.

"Thousand Birds Sharp Spear! Lei Hua!"

sizzle

The lightning transformed into a long spear, instantly piercing through numerous Naruto shadow clones, and then exploded into a vast expanse of lightning.

The fully formed Chidori Spear barely consumed any of Sasuke's chakra; he could recover his chakra in just a few breaths.

This move is applicable to a wide range of situations, whether it's used to eliminate mobs or for surprise attacks and probing.

After idly clearing out a large number of shadow clones, and then watching the empty space being filled with locust-like shadow clones again, Sasuke yawned.

The shadow clone's strength is only a small fraction of the original body's, and it will turn into white smoke and disappear as soon as it suffers the slightest damage.

Compared to Naruto, who is practically invincible, his shadow clones seem far too fragile and easily defeated.

"Judging by the time, he should be here soon, right?"

Sasuke looked up at the sky, and sure enough, a dark figure stepped on the shadow clone's shoulder and leaped into the sky, a bright blue danji condensing in its hand.

"Sasuke--!!!"

Naruto stretched out his entire body, the Rasengan in his hand spinning continuously. He descended from the sky, his face filled with a fierce light as he pounced on Sasuke.

"Naruto—!!!"

Sasuke smiled when he saw Naruto, and with a wave of his hand, a large amount of lightning flashed.

"Spiral pills!"

"Chidori!"

bang

The two collided, and no one knew what kind of feelings existed between them—whether they wanted to kill each other, or something else entirely…

The explosive chakra spread wildly, and layers of blasts exploded around the two of them, directly crushing almost all of Naruto's shadow clones.

When Sakura, Yamato, and Sai arrived, all they could see was Sasuke with one arm around Naruto's shoulder, the two facing each other.

"Long time no see, Naruto."

Sasuke gave Naruto a knowing smile, while Naruto stood there dumbfounded.

Three years have passed, and Sasuke still looks exactly the same.

Even though everyone has grown taller and more handsome, their feelings for each other remain strong.

"That's... Uchiha Sasuke?"

Yamato looked at Sasuke's solemn face. He was just an elite Jonin. The reason he was able to lead the new Team 7 was because of his outstanding combat experience. To be honest, he wasn't much stronger than Naruto and the others.

In the ninja world, strength is the primary measure, and with Sasuke's current strength, Yamato wouldn't dare say he could easily defeat him.

"Uchiha Sasuke, a rogue ninja from Konoha, was a former member of Team 7 and possesses formidable strength."

Sai said with a fake smile, "It seems that he and Naruto have a very good relationship."

"Sasuke-kun has never chosen to betray us, Sai."

Sakura glanced at Sai. As a girl who wholeheartedly admired Sasuke, she didn't believe that Sai could replace Sasuke's position in Team 7.

Of course, Sai had no intention of replacing Sasuke; he came to the new Team 7 purely to broaden his horizons.

"Is there any difference between betraying Konoha and betraying you?"

Sai looked at Sakura with confusion, "Now that you've left Konoha, you're Konoha's enemy."

“That’s completely different!”

Sakura said angrily, just like Orochimaru left Konoha, but she was still her master's good friend.

Even if Sasuke leaves Konoha, his feelings for Naruto and himself will not change.

This is what bonds are!

"Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway."

Sakura sighed. Sai looked at Sakura with a troubled expression. Although he had no feelings for her, Sakura's words still touched his heart.

"I don't understand either..."

Sai gave a bitter smile and looked up at Sasuke.

"Since that's the case, then I'll have a go at you, the knowledgeable one, and see what the difference is between us!"

If you don't understand, then let's have a fight.

After the fight, everyone understood everything.

A world where strength reigns supreme is that simple and straightforward.

With that thought in mind, Sai made up his mind and took a step forward.

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

Sai rushed toward his two silent brothers. Sasuke, whose mood had been interrupted, frowned and casually let go of Naruto's shoulder.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto said nervously to Sasuke, "He doesn't know anything, don't make things difficult for him!"

"Ha, Naruto, it's been so many years, you've become so pathetic."

Sasuke chuckled lightly, "You're going to care about an ordinary ninja?"

"That's not what I said!"

Naruto was getting anxious, but Sasuke grabbed him, pushed him away, and rushed towards Sai.

"Hey! Sasuke!"

Naruto felt like he was seeing a ghost; why did he get the feeling that Sasuke was jealous?

Sakura narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Yamato.

As expected, Yamato reacted immediately upon seeing Sasuke move. He didn't call out to Naruto and Sakura, but rushed forward to help Sai.

"Ninja Technique! Super Beast Fake Painting!"

Sai coldly pulled out his paintbrush and scroll, and unleashed his signature skills on Sasuke.

Almost instantly, Sai drew several tigers on the scroll, and the tigers jumped down from the scroll and roared at Sasuke.

Most ninjas who see this move for the first time will hesitate, after all, it is not easy to estimate how much fighting power this ink-formed beast has.

But Sasuke didn't stop at all, and immediately launched a vicious attack.

Wow

As expected of a divine weapon in the ninja world, the Kusanagi Sword tore apart the tiger created by the Super Beast Imitation Drawing with just a single ordinary slash.

Sai clearly did not expect that his ninjutsu would be so easily defeated by Sasuke. He was caught off guard as Sasuke appeared in front of him and swung the Kusanagi sword at him.

The Kusanagi sword is extremely sharp. If Sai were to be struck squarely in the face by the Kusanagi sword, only Chiaki's presence would likely be enough to save him.

"Sasuke-kun!"

At the critical moment, Sakura shouted to Sasuke, and the Kusanagi sword in Sasuke's hand trembled slightly, giving Sai a space to escape.

He scrambled to avoid Sasuke's attack and was immediately shielded by Yamato.

"Are you going to die?!"

"He's an elite Jonin, how could you, a mere kid who's just entered the Jonin realm, possibly be his match!"

Yamato angrily cursed at Sai.

Chapter 671 Sasuke and Yamato

Sai, who was scolded by Yamato, remained silent with a sullen face. He also noticed his own problem and began to reflect on it.

This action was somewhat impulsive. If it were back in the Root organization, he would never have acted so rashly.

What's going on here?

Why did a ripple appear in his otherwise emotionless heart after the mask of the Root was removed?

"It's my fault, Captain Yamato."

Sai rationally lowered his head and admitted his mistake. When Yamato saw that he had lowered his head, his anger dissipated.

If Sasuke hadn't paused when he heard Sakura's words, Sai would probably have died on the spot. This shows that, just as Sakura said, even though Sasuke left Konoha, his feelings for Naruto and Sakura hadn't changed.
