Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Chapter 333 A Close Call

[A simple and clear answer.]

This also indirectly proves that Hinata is very confident.

【Zhi Nai is determined in his heart. 】

"Then, I'll take care of the other two."

"Kiba, wait until Akamaru recovers before you come to help."

[As soon as Shino finished speaking, Kiba retorted angrily, "No need, I can join the battle right away!"]

[As he spoke, Ya formed a hand seal.]

Seeing this, Temari, who was some distance away, immediately unfolded the large iron fan she was carrying on her back.

However.

The tense atmosphere was immediately broken.

"Let's go."

Gaara didn't turn his head, then strode away without hesitation.

He didn't care about Temari and Kankuro's reactions.

He was indeed quite interested when Hinata made her move.

[A battle instinct tells me that the Hyuga clan woman, who has a close relationship with Naruto Uzumaki, is quite strong.]

[Gaara was originally planning to make a move.]

【but......】

[Shukaku suddenly ran out and cried out again.]

[So, Gaara immediately changed his mind.]

Yes, he did it on purpose.

This is clearly a rejection.

[Shukaku immediately became furious.]

[Gara heard Shukaku's incessant cursing again in his mind.]

It sounds as awful as it gets.

Tobirama Senju: "Hmph! You have a sharp tongue!"

Nine-Lama (Yang): "Well said!"

Kurama (Yang): "A weak raccoon dog likes to bark!"

Shukaku: "Damn fox!"

Nine-Lama (Yang): "Go ahead and bite me!"

Nine-Lama (Yang): "It's one thing to have a bad voice, but to be so rude and petty..."

Nine-Tails immediately switched to verbal sparring mode.

Shukaku was feeling incredibly uncomfortable, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't even speak fluently without using profanity.

In the end, it could only revive its teammates.

Shukaku: "That sounds nice!"

Shukaku: "If you hadn't tricked Masaya, how would Masaya have chosen his gender on his own?!"

Shukaku: "You wicked fox!"

Shukaku: "Hmph! What goes around comes around. Even you in the black-framed world have chosen your gender! Serves you right!"

beep—

Soon, Shukaku received another ban from speaking.

Temari and Kankuro were both taken aback.

They then exchanged a silent glance.

What... happened?

[It happened before...and it's happening again this time?]

It seems... both of these connections are related to Naruto Uzumaki...

"Let's go."

Kankuro took a breath, but ultimately couldn't utter a word.

[I had no choice but to put away the puppet and catch up with Gaara.]

Seeing this, Temari also put away her large iron fan, and while keeping a watchful eye on Team 8 behind her, she retreated.

She clearly saw that Gaara's sand had reached behind the three of them, but suddenly stopped.

"Naruto Uzumaki...it must be related to him."

[“But…Gaiara is like this, could it be…”]

Temari shivered.

[Those who interest Gaara usually end up dying a horrible death.]

[This is also a rare interest of Gaara's.]

[In an instant, Temari raised an eyebrow again.]

【"no!"】

[“That guy may be from Konoha… but if I take him back, anyone who can interest Gaara is definitely not an ordinary person. With a little manipulation, I might be able to persuade him to abandon his evil ways and join my Sunagakure!”]

【Uh-huh!】

Temari was convinced by herself.

Everyone: "..."

Did you see Naruto's talent because of the black-rimmed glasses?!

We're too embarrassed to call you out on it!

Tian Tian immediately turned to look at him, her eyes filled with anger.

However, Temari seemed to agree with what she said in the black-framed world, and was even nodding slightly.

It seems that this was truly her only thought, without any other purpose.

Kankuro hesitated, then shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, being handsome comes with privileges!

hateful!

I'm going to wipe off the mask!

No... I'm a puppeteer, I wouldn't stoop to such methods!

At worst, I'll just become a cool puppet...

【"Ha~"】

【Hahaha~】

The three Sand Village members left without looking back.

[After a moment of stunned silence, he put his hands on his hips, a smug look on his face, and said, "Hahaha~ See? He was scared away by my seriousness!"]

"Woof..."

Akamaru withdrew his paws, then covered his face.

It thought it was embarrassing enough as a dog... but its owner was even more embarrassing.

Shino frowned, still puzzled as to why the three opponents, who were about to attack, suddenly turned and left.

"Hinata?"

Hinata shook her head; clearly, she didn't understand what was going on either.

【Om—】

[Silently retracting the fox head from his palms.]

"It's a very strange feeling."

"That Sand Village ninja carrying the sand gourd... seems to have the same internal structure as Naruto."

"A Jinchūriki?" Shino's expression changed slightly.

[He subconsciously glanced in the direction Gaara and the others had left.]

Just then, a parasitic insect flew back into his hand.

After a moment of silence, Shino said in a deep voice, "They've left. It seems they've already collected the other scroll and are now heading towards the central tower in the central area."

[Then Shino fell silent again.]

After a while, several parasitic insects returned.

"Let's go too."

"Everyone is safe, let's head to the central area first."

"Okay." Hinata nodded, having no objections.

【Hahaha~】

[The teeth were still there, laughing smugly.]

【...】

Kiba Inuzuka: "..."

Inuzuka Tsurugi: "Idiot!"

Hana Inuzuka: "You idiot, little brother!"

Akamaru: "Woof!"

On the other side.

Naruto paused.

"What's wrong, Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked attentively.

"It's alright, Team 8 just ran into Gaara and his group."

Gaara?!

Those three Sand Village ninja?!

Sasuke also looked at Naruto, his eyes questioning.

"Without engaging in battle, Gaara voluntarily left."

Is this happening again?

"Shukaku is disliked by everyone. I thought that kid probably wanted to make a move, but after what Shukaku said, he changed his mind," the great fox analyzed inside the sealed space.

Naruto thought for a moment and then stopped caring.

"I'm going to find someone, and it's not on the way to the Central Tower... You guys go ahead, I'll catch up with you later."

[After saying this, Naruto didn't give Sasuke and Sakura a chance to refuse.]

[Whoosh—]

In the next instant, Naruto vanished from his spot.

Sasuke and Sakura exchanged a silent glance.

Under normal circumstances, Naruto wouldn't mind them following him.

But this time, the situation seems a bit different.

"Let's go, we can pick up some things along the way... I guess that's what Naruto meant," Sasuke said to himself.

【Gurgle—】

[Get something done?]

Sakura instinctively swallowed.
