Chapter 398
After Sakura arrived at the place where Naruto and Orochimaru had fought, she kicked the ground lightly with her foot. She found that the soil was still moist and soft, and she could even see a pool of black ink... It seemed that they should not have walked too far, but what was going on?
Sai...was he doing it voluntarily or was he forced into it?
Naruto looked around at the ruined scene and thought of the previous scene of the Sky Bridge. He asked in confusion, "The bridge is destroyed and this place is like this. What happened?"
Captain Yamato stared at Naruto, his tone filled with a hint of surprise: "Don't you remember?"
Naruto shook his head vigorously, indicating that he had no impression at all, and then asked again: "By the way, why did I faint?"
Seeing Naruto frowning and trying to recall everything that happened before, Sakura hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing her words, and whispered to Naruto: "You were defeated by Orochimaru, so you passed out."
Because she had told a lie, Sakura involuntarily cast her gaze towards Naruto, only to see an extremely dissatisfied look on his face. He clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Is it true or false? Damn it!"
It's so easy to fool! Sakura secretly sighed in her heart.
She glanced casually at the pool of ink, but her eyes suddenly became sharp - it turned out that under the scroll, there was a picture album.
Sakura walked over quickly, carefully picked up the album, and gently brushed off the dust on it. She looked at the album and muttered to herself: "This is Sai's stuff... How could it be thrown here in such a mess? But... why is this album here too?"
You know, this picture album is Sai's most treasured treasure. It carries Sai's unique and deep emotional memories of his brother. Although it has not been completed yet, Sai never wants to show it to others, as if only in this way can he keep the beautiful time that belongs only to the two of them.
At this moment, Sakura tightly grasped the album in her hand, staring at the cover. All kinds of speculations came to her mind, making Sakura feel even more depressed. "Why would such an important thing be abandoned here... Could it be that Sai encountered some trouble? Or does he have some unspeakable difficulties?"
She knew very well what this picture album meant to Sai, but now it was lying alone on the cold ground, with no one paying attention to it, because this was not just a simple picture album, but also the sustenance and concern in Sai's heart.
Captain Yamato said jokingly, "Such important things were thrown here. It seems that even Sai, who is always careful and cautious, would feel a little nervous in front of a powerful man like Orochimaru."
After hearing what Captain Yamato said, Sakura showed a very surprised expression on her face. She turned to look at him and asked in surprise: "Could it be that, Captain Yamato, you witnessed the whole process with your own eyes?"
In response to Sakura's doubts and guesses, Captain Yamato smiled and nodded in affirmation.
He stretched out his hand, pointed at his ear, and explained softly, "My wooden clone was lurking nearby just now, and kept in real-time contact with me through the radio equipment that was set up in advance. So, I know everything that happened here."
After Sakura heard this, she really couldn't figure out what kind of situation Sai was in, so she asked, "So what is Sai's situation?"
Since the clones were at a certain distance from them, they could not clearly hear what they were talking about. Captain Yamato could only describe the scene he witnessed to the two of them: "Sai, after talking to Orochimaru for a few words, followed Orochimaru and Kabuto and left together."
Upon hearing the news, Naruto's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, and he blurted out: "What on earth is going on? What on earth did they say?"
Sakura at the side asked briefly: "Are you threatened?"
Captain Yamato shook his head slightly, folded his arms across his chest, and analyzed thoughtfully: "Hmm... not really. Sai seemed to be the one approaching Orochimaru on his own initiative, and even handed him something. It seemed more like he was trying to please and curry favor with Orochimaru..."
Is that so... As expected, the master's worries were right, this Danzo really has ulterior motives...
Naruto looked at Captain Yamato in shock, his heart in turmoil. After hearing the conversation between the two, his brain immediately began to think frantically like a high-speed machine, but was soon filled with countless questions.
