Chapter 804: The Will of Fire, Not Even Dogs Believe It!
Whoosh!
Several figures dashed out of the laboratory's open doors, looking disheveled.
Boom!
The already dilapidated laboratory collapsed from the explosion.
"That was close! We finally made it out alive!"
Yamato, his face pale, patted his chest.
Woof!
Akamaru, in a very human-like gesture, also patted his chest with his paw, mirroring Yamato's action.
Neji's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
The temporal explosion bomb had grazed past him, and one can only imagine the consequences if it had hit him directly.
If that had happened, he might have ended up with a new nickname, 'Neji Sauce'.
Being hit by that bomb would have made it difficult to keep his body intact.
Chino, though not as dramatically affected, instinctively took a few steps away from Tian Tian.
"I calculated the trajectory when I fired, and I have plenty of healing potions with me, so rest assured!" Tian Tian confidently assured them.
Although this was her first time in actual combat, she had thoroughly tested her abilities in the training grounds beforehand.
'Rest assured... yeah, right!'
Neji, Yamato, and Chino exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts without words.
From now on, they would try to avoid letting her take the lead in battles.
Otherwise, they feared that the enemy might not even get a chance to harm them before they had to retreat.
These attacks didn't discriminate between friend and foe.
Indeed, this was one of Tian Tian's unique traits.
"Do you think they're dead?"
Looking at the collapsed ruins ahead, Tian Tian turned and asked.
"Maybe... they're probably dead?"
Yamato scratched his head, speculating.
"I don't know!"
Chino spoke the truth.
As for Neji, he naturally activated his Byakugan.
"Open!"
His eyes transformed into their activated state.
Note that the Byakugan is not usually activated; if it were, bulging veins would be a normal occurrence.
Hyuuga Hiashi, who didn't have bulging veins, was an exception.
"No! There are four of them in total, and while one of them has an incredibly powerful chakra, the other three seem normal!" Neji confirmed the information.
See that? This is the power of the Byakugan.
It's like having a human radar!
Having such a teammate by their side greatly increased their safety and convenience.
"Be on guard!"
With this information, Tian Tian naturally took command and issued the order.
They couldn't retreat just yet!
Their mission was to uncover the truth behind the laboratory's events, so encountering these mysterious enemies was a welcome challenge. Even knowing the enemy's powerful chakra, she wouldn't back down.
The others understood this logic as well, so they all braced themselves.
"Watch your feet!"
Neji's Byakugan detected something attacking them from underground, so he warned them immediately.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, vine after vine burst through the ground, wrapping around them.
And it didn't stop there.
Squeak, squeak!
A dense chorus of mouse squeaks filled the air.
A strange-looking black mouse, using the channels created by the vines, pounced towards them.
"Host Parasite!"
Chino's Host Parasite technique enveloped the swarm of mice like a cloud of black dust, quickly disposing of them.
"Wait, these aren't mice!"
After dealing with the mice, Chino immediately noticed something amiss.
The mice, upon death, didn't leave behind corpses but rather a pool of black ink.
"Hmm?"
Yamato felt like he had seen something similar before.
Tian Tian, on the other hand, focused on dodging the vines and wasn't in a hurry to attack.
With her destructive power, if it weren't for the need to investigate the laboratory's secrets, she could have easily wiped out the area with her ultimate techniques. There was no need for such complications.
As they were entangled by the relentless vines, a wooden wall, several meters tall and shaped like an egg, rose from the muddy ground.
Thud, thud, thud!
The thick wooden logs that formed the wall parted, revealing several figures within.
"..."
The sudden silence was unnerving.
Even the frenzied vines stopped abruptly, creating an awkward pause.
This was because both sides were 'familiar' with each other.
"Naruto, what are you guys doing here?"
Tian Tian turned to the blond-haired, blue-eyed Naruto, who now sported a few fox-like whiskers and looked less and less like his father, the Fourth Hokage.
That's right!
Inside the wooden wall was none other than Team 7.
The one using Wood Style was, of course, Yamato, and Sakura and Sawai were with him.
Rats, of course, are the Root's secret technique, 'Beast Illusion'.
Sakura's role is to set the atmosphere.
"Tiantian, Yamato, Neji, Chino!!!"
Naruto also reacted, rushing over in excitement.
It can only be said that his nerves are truly thick.
He completely forgot that the Blazing Sun Country and Konoha are currently at war.
Strictly speaking, they are also enemies, so it's normal to be cautious of each other, and Naruto's behavior is abnormal.
Facing Naruto's enthusiasm, Tiantian and the others felt extremely embarrassed.
After all, they were Konoha ninjas before, but now they've become Blazing Sun ninjas, and they just dealt a blow to their former allies.
Fortunately, Yamato was there on the other side, otherwise it would have been an instant game over.
"Naruto, why are you here?"
Yamato couldn't help but break the awkward atmosphere.
"We're here to complete a mission!"
Naruto replied matter-of-factly, while Sakura behind him silently formed a '' on her forehead.
Because such matters need to be kept confidential.
"Are you too?"
Yamato's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Also?" Sakura picked up on the key point and, after exchanging a glance with Yamato, stepped forward to negotiate, "Our mission is to investigate the truth behind this laboratory and track down Orochimaru's whereabouts. Is yours the same?"
Since Naruto has exposed their mission, it's only natural to make full use of this opportunity.
Of course, Sakura was also smart enough not to mention the issue of their opposing positions.
After all, the enemy is the Allied Forces and the Blazing Sun Country, not these ninja squads.
Currently, they are just enemies, not in a state of killing each other.
Cold War!
Not a hot war.
Even if they are ninjas from the Allied Forces, as long as they don't show hostility, they can enter the Heavenly Castle Hall area after reporting in advance, and the Blazing Sun Country won't cause trouble, they'll only observe secretly.
Of course, intelligence warfare, economic warfare, assassinations, and espionage are separate matters.
So even Yamato didn't have the intention to take direct action.
While there was uncertainty, the situation also didn't allow for it.
"Our mission is the same as yours!"
Tiantian, as the temporary leader, naturally took the initiative to speak at this time.
After all, some things can only be decided by her on whether to disclose them and to what extent.
Both sides tacitly handed over the right to speak to the only female ninja.
"Really? That's great!"
A relieved smile appeared on Sakura's face.
As for what she was thinking, no one knew.
If they were all Konoha ninjas, they might not have other thoughts.
But now they are enemies, and even if they won't fight at the first sight, it's impossible to return to a close-knit state, so naturally, they would have reservations in their hearts.
Intrigue!
That's the only way to describe it.
"Yamato, when are you returning to the village? I really want to see you guys!"
Naruto casually placed his hand on Yamato's shoulder and asked.
For the Crown Prince Naruto, even if they are white-eyed wolves or filial sons who have caused great damage to Konoha, as long as they believe in the Will of Fire, they are good friends.
So what if the Inuzuka clan left Konoha? There's nothing to say.
Naive and saintly! That's Naruto's personality.
The only difference from others is that he possesses an incredibly powerful force.
Carefully pushing Naruto's hand off his shoulder, Yamato shook his head and said,
"Naruto, I won't return to Konoha!"
Why would he go back to become a tool for Root?
At this point, Yamato understood why his family had to leave Konoha.
In the Heavenly Castle Hall, there was no information blockade, and he had naturally read the book 'My Struggle' and learned about the horrors of Root through various channels, not to mention the scandals involving the Hokage. It was impossible for him to believe in the Will of Fire anymore.
Not even a dog would believe in the Will of Fire! Yamato is now a firm believer in the 'Blazing Sun Will'.
As for why the change was so smooth?
It's simple.
Because the Blazing Sun Country truly practices what they preach.
They warm their families like sunshine and purify the corrupt ninja world with flames, just like fire!
Numerous welfare benefits genuinely make everyone in the Blazing Sun Country feel warm.
At the same time, they truly eliminate the noble class, purifying the ninja world.
The more one understands the Blazing Sun Country, the more one can feel the decay of the ninja world.
