Chapter 249 Meeting
Chapter 249 Meeting
"Does it really matter to you who I am?" I said, "We won't stay here for long, and we won't be together for long in the future. If you are just curious, just know that I am Gaara and Neji's companion."
Gaara said, "Asaru is my friend. The best friend."
The Kazekage was silent for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "What about Naruto?"
"Uzumaki Naruto?" Gaara said, "Asahi's former teammate."
He frowned and added reluctantly: "...He is also a close friend of Chaolu."
"Naruto is... my most important friend."
Gaara and the Kazekage looked at each other for a moment and realized that the reason their choices and destinies were different might be because they were following people and heading in different directions.
"You choose to follow Naruto?" Gaara couldn't understand, "That stupid guy?"
The Kazekage looked at me, then at Gaara: "Except for Temari, I don't have a very good relationship with anyone of the opposite sex, so I may not understand the relationship between you two... Do you like her?"
Gaara said without hesitation: "I like it."
I said, "Don't you like Naruto?"
Fengying was slightly stunned: "Of course I like it."
I smiled and said, "Yes! My Gaara likes me just like you like Naruto, and I like Gaara just like Naruto likes you!"
The Kazekage was silent for a moment, then looked at Gaara: "You...?"
Gaara frowned and looked at me, "Asaro, we haven't seen the Uzumaki Naruto of this world, what if he doesn't like him?"
"Eh? Is that so?" I wasn't sure. "But, it is possible..."
"Right. So you can't say you like me as much as Naruto likes him, because Naruto might not like him."
Neji couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted, "That's enough. Let's get down to business!"
I nodded and said to the Kazekage, "We have no ill will towards the Sand Village, nor did we mean to break into your house, but we lived in the same place before... Please, can you let us go? I want to get to Konoha as soon as possible."
The Kazekage asked, "What do you want to do in Konoha?"
"I want to see with my own eyes what Konoha looks like now. I want to meet Naruto and Sasuke."
"Why are you so obsessed with Konoha?"
"Well...if I tell my story from the beginning, it might be very long. You just need to know that in our world, I was a ninja of Konoha at the beginning."
"I know." Fengying said: "What you said just now..."
He was not used to adding someone else's adjective in front of his name. "Gaara from your world... said that he met you when he went to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam. You are a member of Kakashi's class."
"Yes... Later, for some reasons, I was forced to leave Konoha. But please believe that we have no ill will towards Konoha, and we definitely have no ill will towards Naruto."
The Kazekage smiled, "Even if you have ill intentions towards Naruto, I don't think it matters. There are only a few people in the entire ninja world who can hurt him now."
Gaara frowned and said, "He's very powerful now?"
Fengying nodded: "Although I can't say that I'm invincible, I'm almost invincible."
"What about Sasuke?" I asked, "How strong is Sasuke?"
"Perhaps... only Naruto can defeat him."
How did he do that? How did he become so strong? Why can Naruto in this world defeat Sasuke, but in the world I live in, Naruto was defeated and died?
However, as the Kazekage, Gaara couldn't possibly understand these issues better than I did. I could hardly wait to set off for Konoha.
I said politely, "Please allow us to leave."
Fengying asked, "What if I don't allow it?"
I could only say in a less polite way, "I don't want to fight with you because you are Gaara. Besides, I'm just informing you, I don't really need your consent."
Susanoo rose from the ground, its two palms holding up Neji and Gaara on the left and right respectively, and it grew wings on its back, fanning up a strong wind.
The Kazekage's eyes widened in disbelief: "Susanoo...?! Are you from the Uchiha clan?!"
But I didn't have time to answer, Susanoo broke through the roof and took us into the sky.
"Sorry, Gaara! You ruined Yashamaru's house!"
"It's the fault of that Kazekage." Gaara looked unhappy, "I've explained it to him so clearly, but he still refuses to listen."
Neji said, "Isn't that you?"
"This world is different from our world," I said. "Even if they have the same appearance and name, we can't simply assume they are the same person. That's what I think."
Gaara said, "Hmm," "I think so too."
"But... you actually became the Kazekage." Neji's tone was a little complicated: "And I... didn't survive? Even if it's not our world, such a difference is really uncomfortable."
I consoled him, "Don't worry, Neji. I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you."
Susanoo is too big, and if it flies into the Land of Fire like this, it will definitely arouse vigilance.
So we landed on the ground halfway, sneaked into the border, and then tried to sneak into Konoha's barrier.
Itachi teacher was once an Anbu member, and was ordered to be an undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization. He once led Kisame to easily break through Konoha's defenses and enter the village. I calculated for a moment according to the method he taught me, and was not sure whether the password I calculated was correct, but I tried to make hand seals according to the result of the calculation, and I successfully entered.
"Itachi-sensei... is indeed amazing."
I don’t know how he was doing while we were looking for a solution in the other world?
Is the speed of time flowing the same on both sides?
Can he wait until I find a new way?
Or was he already dead when I took action here?
I tried hard to get these chaotic thoughts out of my mind.
When we entered Konoha, the sun had already set, and the night naturally provided us with a layer of cover. We used the Transformation Technique, otherwise, with a Byakugan and a face like the Kazekage, it would be easy for others to notice us and then become suspicious.
"Let's go and visit Naruto's house."
I hope that the Naruto in this world lives in the same place as the Naruto in my world and never moves.
Neji followed behind me, looking at the surrounding buildings from time to time, and said with some emotion: "I never thought... that I would return to Konoha one day."
Gaara said, "This is not your Konoha."
"I know, but..."
I asked, "Does Neji miss Konoha?"
"…Occasionally, I think back to Konoha, and I had some good memories there. But I don't want to go back anymore."
We walked downstairs to Naruto's house, and I looked up at his window and found that the lights were not on.
I was a little helpless: "He doesn't seem to be at home."
Neji said, "I'll use my Byakugan to look for it."
But as soon as he opened his white eyes, he saw something and suddenly stared straight ahead and stopped moving.
After a while, a young girl slowly walked out from the darkness ahead.
There was a hint of uneasiness on her beautiful face, her long black hair was draped behind her, and her white eyes immediately revealed her identity.
It's Hyuga Hinata.
We saw her and she saw us at the same time. For some reason, we looked at each other for a moment, then she hugged the paper bag tightly in her arms and turned and ran away.
Neji: "…What is she doing here?"
Gaara said, "It seems like he was just passing by."
Neji: "It's like he came here on purpose but pretended to be just passing by when he saw us. He's grown up now, but he's still as shy as he was when he was little, tsk."
I wondered, "Does she have something to do with Naruto as well?"
"If it was something important, you wouldn't give up just because you saw a few of us passers-by." Neji said, "Probably not important."
He said so, but he kept looking at the direction Hinata left. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at another fork in the road: "Naruto is here."
Just as he finished speaking, a young man trotted out from the darkness on the other side and appeared under the street light.
When he saw us, he first showed a puzzled expression, then seemed to understand something and looked a little distressed: "How did you find out that I live here!?"
I looked at him with some curiosity - this is the Naruto who survived... the Naruto who lived to the age of nineteen!
But why did he choose this hairstyle?
"Hello, we are..." I was about to explain our origins, but Naruto sighed and skillfully took out a pen from his pocket, "Okay, where do you want to sign? But don't come to my house again next time!"
I was stunned: "Huh?"
Gaara snorted, "He's become an idol."
Neji said calmly: "Didn't the Kazekage say before that he is now a great hero. This treatment is also normal."
"Kazekage? Have you seen Gaara?" Naruto asked curiously, "Are you from the Sand Village?"
Just as Neji was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where Hinata had just left.
Seeing that his expression was not right, I immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is approaching Hinata..." Neji frowned, "No...someone is holding Hinata hostage!"
I said, "Go and have a look!"
Neji immediately rushed forward, Gaara and I quickly followed, and Naruto also caught up: "What? What happened to Hinata? Hey, who are you?!"
But now is not a good time to talk, after all, our origins are a bit complicated.
Ningci jumped onto the roof, and soon I could see a black shadow with fluttering robes in front of me. He seemed to be holding something in his arms and was rushing forward in the night.
Ningci said: "Hinata is in his arms, not moving. Maybe she was given drugs or some kind of ninjutsu that restrained her movements."
Gaara turned his head and looked at Naruto who was already side by side with us, "Someone is invading, don't you need to sound the alarm?"
"I'll take care of it!" Naruto said, and rushed in front of us, shouting at the intruder's back: "Hinata!!"
Neji looked at Gaara and said, "If he sounds the alarm, it will be hard for us to hide our identities. If it escalates to the village level, things will become very troublesome. It would be best if we could get the answers we want directly from Naruto."
"No, I just want to say," Gaara said, "Isn't the defense of Konoha Village a little too lax in the future? The Sand Village was immediately surrounded as soon as we appeared, but Konoha has so many more invaders, and there is no reaction now?"
"Perhaps it's just because we appeared directly next to the Kazekage that the Sand Village reacted so quickly." Neji suddenly "tsk" again, "But you're right - Konoha's defense seems to have problems."
Because suddenly dozens of people in black robes jumped out from below and blocked our way.
Neji frowned and said, "There are so many invaders, but Konoha has no reaction. Could it be that all the defense forces have been wiped out?"
I opened my Sharingan, "Wait a minute, this is a good opportunity for me to try out my new eye technique!"
I still haven't found the time to practice using Obito's eyes.
Hearing this, Neji and Gaara quickly changed formation to cover me and draw fire, so that I could focus on one enemy and concentrate—
Soon, I felt a mysterious feeling appear at the focus of my vision, as if the space had turned into a piece of paper, and I could easily crumple it with a thought.
distortion!
An enemy was hit right in the middle by my pupil technique and was absorbed by my space distortion and disappeared.
I targeted other enemies one by one, but because I was not very experienced, I was slow in finding the right feeling and launching the pupil technique. Some enemies were able to react and dodge, but my pupil technique would deflect and I could only twist their arms or thighs.
Yet the loss of their limbs did not harm them.
I frowned and asked, "Is it a puppet?"
Neji looked at Gaara and said, "From the Sand Village?"
"Impossible," Gaara said, "Didn't the Kazekage say that Naruto was his most important friend? If he really likes Naruto as much as I like Asaro, it definitely couldn't have been done by the Sand Village."
Neji: "...I think his love for you is not the same as yours, but... never mind."
While we were clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers, Naruto was fighting the mastermind who took Hinata away.
The miscellaneous soldiers were not that strong, but they were numerous, felt no fatigue or pain, and had no fear at all, so they were quite difficult to deal with.
Ningci said: "No, if I keep hiding my identity, it will be too passive."
His and Gaara's abilities are so unique that they can be recognized as soon as they are used.
For example, Neji's Gentle Fist and Kaiten, and Gaara's Sand Storm Funeral. If they continue to conceal their identities, many of their moves will not be usable in battle, and it will be difficult to exert their full strength.
Gaara said: "Considering Konoha's slow reaction speed, if we can deal with these scum and leave before they arrive, we can continue to conceal our identity."
"Use it." I said, "We don't reveal our identities because we don't want to make things too complicated. But we have no ill intentions. Even if Konoha finds out, I think we should be able to negotiate successfully."
After hearing what I said, Gaara's sand immediately surged out like waves and mist, covering the sky and the sun, and swept towards the puppets.
When the sand drove the enemies together, Neji used Kaiten to smash them all into pieces at once.
And Gaara's sand can continue to capture the next wave of enemies.
This was originally a defensive move, but with the cooperation of Neji and Gaara, it became a group attack that could target multiple enemies.
"Sand...?" Naruto seemed to take the time to glance at us during the battle, "Gaara?! When did you come to Konoha?!"
He condensed a Rasengan in his hand and said to us urgently: "Gaara! Hinata just fell down, go catch her!"
I turned around and looked around, and found Hinata hanging outside a tall building. She was holding a long red scarf tightly, and one end of the scarf seemed to be caught somewhere, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground long ago.
I rushed towards her, hugged her waist and brought her to the roof.
At this time, the fighting on both sides was over.
Naruto hurried over and landed beside Neji and Gaara. He looked at Gaara strangely and said, "You are Gaara, right...? But why are you disguised like this? And you pretend to be someone who wants my autograph! How weird!"
I put Hinata on the ground. Her body was paralyzed and she obviously couldn't use any strength.
Naruto asked with concern: "Hinata, are you okay?! Who are those people?"
I tried to use medical ninjutsu to treat her. Hinata looked at me in confusion: "Thank you..."
She shook her head at Naruto: "I don't know who they are..."
"Speaking of which," Neji looked around, "This place has collapsed. Why hasn't anyone from Konoha come to check it out?"
"Hokage-sama went to attend the Five Kage meeting and took a group of elite guards with him... Most of the others also went out on missions..." Hinata explained softly: "During the previous Fourth War, the major ninja villages suffered heavy losses... The defense forces were much weaker."
Unexpectedly, it was Hinata who took over the conversation, and Neji remained silent.
Hinata stared at him steadily: "I...just saw you use Kaiten...are you from the Hyuga family? Who is it?"
