Chapter 402
Although Naruto was determined to keep up, the cold sweat on his forehead and his slowing pace were enough to show that there was something wrong with his body.
Since Naruto didn't say anything, Sakura didn't know how to speak. After all, she had her own clone following her, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Fortunately, he had a clone, otherwise Naruto would have almost hit the tree trunk.
But if the opponent was Orochimaru, tracking shouldn't be so smooth, at least that's what Sakura thought.
While Sakura was thinking, she heard Captain Yamato suddenly say, "Okay, let's take a rest here."
? Are you so fickle?
Captain Yamato glanced at Naruto sharply, then turned his gaze to Sakura and said earnestly: "Hurrying and recklessly are two completely different concepts. As the saying goes, 'haste makes waste'. In addition, Sakura, as the only medical ninja in the team, you must always pay attention to your own condition and ensure that you can respond to various situations at any time."
Sakura nodded obediently, walked to the nearest tree to lean against it, and then summoned her summoning beast - Xixi.
As soon as Xixi appeared, it immediately used its unique ability to help Sakura recover her depleted chakra.
After all, most of her chakra was used up when she controlled the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body. Coupled with the subsequent treatment of Naruto, although her chakra is now sufficient, she really needs to be extra careful when facing such a powerful enemy - Orochimaru.
Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but clench her fists secretly and focus more on recovering her chakra.
After seeing Sakura gradually getting into the state, Captain Yamato nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes soon returned to Naruto. He gently patted Naruto's shoulder, his expression became unusually serious, "Naruto, come here for a moment."
Captain Yamato's voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible majesty. Naruto looked at him with some confusion, but still walked over obediently.
"From now on, the two of us will form a team and fight side by side. We also need to understand each other's best ninjutsu so that we can exert the greatest power in the battle. Only in this way can we better cope with the challenges that are coming."
After saying that, Captain Yamato took the lead and walked to the side. After visually judging that he was a certain distance away from Sakura, he stopped, looked back at Naruto behind him, and then asked, "Do you really have no memory of what happened just now?"
Naruto frowned and tried to recall, but his mind was still blank. However, there was a rare nervousness in his voice. He didn't know why Captain Yamato asked this, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, "I...Is there anything I should remember?"
Captain Yamato also said bluntly: "The bridge and the cracked ground."
Naruto suddenly thought of the lecherous sage's appearance from before, "Is this all done by me?"
Captain Yamato sighed, he did not approve of Jiraiya-sama’s white lie, “Actually, it’s okay not to tell you the truth right now, but why should I?
Indeed, using that power may be a shortcut for you to rescue Sasuke, but the power obtained by relying on the Nine-Tails is not your real power. If you continue to rely on the power of the Nine-Tails in the future, it will only make you more painful and may even hurt your companions.
Although it didn't happen this time, but because of your problem, Sakura was unable to participate in the battle and was forced to follow you who had transformed into a fox demon. In fact, you should have vaguely noticed it, but you didn't stop the release of the power. Is it because you were anxious?
From now on I will completely suppress the power of your Nine-Tailed Fox, but if you think that this will make you weaker, you are wrong. Even without relying on that power, you are already very strong.
Did you misunderstand a little bit? The source of your power is not the Nine-Tails' chakra, but your own chakra that can withstand the terrible Nine-Tails' chakra. If you want to save Sasuke, you must use your own power to save him. If you want to see Sasuke, you must use your own eyes instead of the Nine-Tails' eyes. If you want to protect Sakura, you must use your own power instead of the Nine-Tails' power. "
