Konoha's strongest substitute user

The temperature of the sun is just right. It's like being in an air-conditioned office. My whole body feels warm. I feel like I have turned into a cat with long hair that can mop the floor. I lie on the balcony with plenty of light on a sunny day. My head is dizzy from the smoke and I really want to sleep... Obviously They were still fighting just now, but they just couldn't help but want to sleep. I don't want to think about anything, so it's better to just give up thinking. I'm too tired from fighting, so it's more comfortable to sleep.

The bright red platinum star smashed half of Death's head into a pulpy substance, and Death had already slipped away with its head still indistinguishable. Taking advantage of the last moment before Dongxing fell into coma, Star Platinum beat Orochimaru's arms more miserable than the God of Death's head. The soul arms were treated like two pieces of material that were not very heat-resistant and were treated according to the process of forging iron. Once again, first smash it, then burn it.

Orochimaru's screams can prove that it is very painful for the soul to suffer such a heavy injury.

Perhaps it was because the souls of his hands were gone, and the first and second generations reincarnated in the dirt finally stopped moving.

Hinata Hizu burst out with the fastest speed in his life and knocked Orochimaru away from the third generation and Tosei with one palm, and guarded in front of the two people with the monkey demon.

Now it is no longer a question of whether Konoha can be destroyed or the third generation can be killed. More and more people are surrounding the Four Purple Flame Formation. Orochimaru does not dare to conflict with these people even if his hands are still intact. Now even if You have to hurry up to escape.

Although Orochimaru lost his hands, he still had a flexible, soft and strong tongue.

Taking out two scrolls, Orochimaru threw one to his subordinates who were still maintaining the Four Purple Flame Formation: "Seal my arm in, hurry up."

The Four Purple Flame Formation immediately withdrew, and Tayuya grabbed the scroll and sealed the soul of Orochimaru's tortured arms into the scroll.

The crowd of onlookers finally had a chance to show off, but a huge python suddenly appeared, swept the ninjas who were repelling Konoha with its tail, and swallowed the five people standing in a row on Orochimaru's side together, and turned into a python with a bang. Disappear as white smoke.

In order to protect Tohoshi and the Third Generation, Hizu and the Saru Demon, who had a chance to prevent Orochimaru from escaping, could only pick up the two unable to move people and avoid the giant snake's move to sweep away the windmill.

It has to be said that there are actually quite a lot of black technologies in the ninja world, especially the black technologies mastered by the scientist Orochimaru. It is really difficult to keep Orochimaru who wants to escape when this guy is ready with all kinds of back-up moves, especially when he has to protect two seriously injured people.

Hinata and Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief before they arrived, and saw that Dong Xing, who was lying flat on the roof, was on fire, as if he had set himself on fire: "Where is the medical team, come here quickly, can you save the whole body if it is on fire?"

In fact, this is the system's protection mechanism. After all, Dongxing can no longer drain the blood that turns into fire and brimstone.

The battle belonging to the Eastern Star is finally completed.

But the battle between Team 7 and Gaara has just begun.

Sasuke has encountered monsters before, and there is a guy among his teammates who can be called a monster, not to mention that there is also a monster named revenge living in his heart.

But this was the first time I saw a monster that looked exactly the same as the one across from me.

That kind of ferocious body combined with the sand, a crazy expression, and a behavior that has the value of existence, but only relies on killing to maintain its actions. He looks like a complete monster in every aspect.

In Sasuke's eyes, the current situation was worse than facing this monster alone.

Being incapacitated was a drag, Sakura was trapped, and the only one left fighting this monster was Naruto.

It was very painful, more painful than being pierced through the skin with a sharp ninja tool, more painful than being hit in the face by Ino's fist...

The ribs seemed to be making rattling sounds under the load, and breathing became very difficult because the chest was squeezed and I was unconscious...

The one shouting stupid things is Naruto

The person fighting that Gaara, that monster, must be Naruto...

In the end, it was Naruto who protected Sasuke and himself, and he was the one who became a drag?

What if Naruto loses too? Will he die? And Naruto...

The most important thing is, Sasuke will die too, right?

Not willing to give in...

Why could Naruto become so strong? Why was he still being protected? He was also standing in front of Sasuke, but he couldn't even sustain a move.

Just, very unwilling...

I don't want to rely on Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi-sensei all the time.

“Instead of asking others for help, rely on yourself.”

Yes, I have been asking for help, and so has the Country of Waves, and also in the Forest of Death. But I'm really weak, weaker than Sasuke, weaker than Naruto, and I don't look like a top student in a ninja school at all.

"If you want to obtain a power as powerful as Star Platinum... you can't hide behind Sasuke or even Naruto forever, and they can't protect you forever..."

"But if you use tarot cards for a boring reason like trying to gain the strength to catch up with Sasuke... you will definitely die..."

will die.

I'm very afraid of death, but now I'm not much better than death, right?

And if Gaara is not defeated, everyone will die.

No, that's not the case. There is no such thought as "I'm going to die anyway, so why not give it a try". The real reason is that there are certain things that I want to do, even if I die, I still want to do it.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to be protected all the time, he doesn’t want to be held back, he doesn’t want Sasuke and Naruto to die, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to die himself. In short, there is already a reason to become stronger.

"Goodbye at the end, Sakura."

That's right, if you don't want to die, if you want to live, if you want to live with everyone, you must become stronger.

The tarot cards, which represented power, slowly faded in Sakura's hands, and then completely integrated into Sakura's body.

"Sakura"

Hearing Sakura's groan, Naruto couldn't help but look over even though he was fighting an opponent he had no confidence in defeating.

Gaara did not miss this opportunity and grabbed Naruto directly with his huge sand claws: "Where are you looking? When you die, I will send her and Sasuke to see you."

"What are you talking about, brother?"

Gaara was happily speaking out his harsh words when he received an extremely heavy fist on the face, so hard that Gaara's entire half-human, half-beast body flew away and broke several thick branches.

"Sakura, are you awake...?" Naruto looked at Sakura in surprise, and then his expression gradually became confused: "No, you are not Sakura."

"Tsk... It's a shame that we've been in the team for a few months, can't you recognize it?" Sakura curled her lips with a disgusted expression, and blew the sand from the nails of her left hand that had just punched Gaara: "What an idiot. Well, he's quite cute though."

Being praised by Sakura for being cute in the tone of a big sister in society, Naruto still blushed even though he felt something was not right about Sakura.

Unlike Naruto, who relied on intuition more than thinking, Sasuke immediately discovered something was wrong with Sakura.

This Sakura...

The aura on his body is too strong.

And what about that layer of cherry-pink chakra that covers the entire body? It looks... very similar to Kujo Tosei.
