Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 26

Scary... so scary.

Temari trembled, watching Gaara below who had turned into a monster beyond recognition.

Huge monster claws stretched out.

"Come on, let me feel it!"

After Gaara finished speaking, he quickly jumped up, waving his huge sharp claws, and rushed towards Sasuke.The thick trunk snapped under Gaara's attack.

The ensuing battle was almost beyond my imagination.

Gaara is like a machine that only knows how to kill, it keeps attacking, and every blow is so violent.

However, Sasuke was suppressed by him like this.Even if Chidori is used to hurt Gaara, it can only make Gaara's killing intent stronger.Then continue to transform into a full body.

I do not know how long this deadly and terrifying battle lasted.

Perhaps, the real terror began with the arrival of Naruto.

After exhausting Sasuke's chakra, the curse seal on his neck finally awakened.Black marks spread all over his body, and after using the last Chidori, he was exhausted and fell on the tree trunk.

That is the curse seal...

The black, streak-like thing is the curse mark of Orochimaru...

Sasuke couldn't move his body.If this continues, you will be killed.

I stood up, trying to stop.But the reason for treating Gaara before, I don't have much chakra left, and I can't support my physical strength just now because I ran away desperately.

In such a situation, it is impossible to block Gaara's attack.

I couldn't stand still, staggered back a few steps, and finally sat slumped on the ground.

Gaara's attack is close at hand.At this critical moment, a yellow figure suddenly appeared and kicked Gaara away.Gaara was kicked away, reversed in the air, and landed safely on the bushes.

"Naruto. Sakura!" I called out.But they obviously didn't hear it.

Sakura stays by Sasuke's side to check on his injuries, while Naruto confronts Gaara.The eyes are sharp.

However, seeing Gaara's appearance, Naruto was still scared.To be precise, perhaps no one is not afraid.This Gaara is completely unrecognizable.

"Everyone, run!" Naruto turned his head and shouted loudly towards Sakura and Sasuke behind him.

But it was too late.

Gaara had already passed Naruto's eyes straight, and attacked Sasuke who was still unable to move.

"Wind escape. Great breakthrough!"

As I shouted, Gaara was violently knocked out and fell heavily on the tree trunk.

"Stalk!" Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, and Temari-san were surprised and shouted my name in unison.

I stood up slowly to stand in front of Sakura and Sasuke.Regarding my sudden attack, no one thought of it, and the most unbelievable thing was Temari.

She couldn't believe that I would help Konoha's people.

But think about it too.She doesn't even know me and Konoha's group of people... I have already regarded them as partners...

"Why help us..." Sakura looked at me with too much emotion in her eyes.From the gratitude to me at the beginning, to the hostility after knowing that I betrayed them, to the confusion that the two feelings are fused together and it is difficult to distinguish.

In fact, even I myself don't know the meaning of what I do, why I do it...

I used ninjutsu, which was already severely lacking in Chakra, which made me a little unstable but tried my best to maintain it.I breathed heavily, still unable to calm my beating heart.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto... I'm sorry."

I quietly watched Gaara stand up, the way he looked at me was the same as the way he looked at Sasuke.They are all equally full of killing intent.

But the fear has left me.No, rather than leaving, I might as well say that I dispelled it.

Because of protection, so brave.

"I am the ninja of Sand Hidden. For ninjas, orders are everything. Even if I don't want to be your enemy anymore, I must let you know everything when this day comes. Sasuke, you are right, I betrayed you You treat me as a partner, but I...I..." Tears could not stop streaming down.My voice was crying, but it didn't stop. I wanted to take this opportunity to express my feelings.

Companion, it touches my heart.

"So, this is the only thing I can do for you." I smiled silently, raised my head, and looked straight at Gaara firmly. "Gaara, I can't let you hurt them."

"Why! Why do you want to stop me again and again..." Gaara stared at me crazily, that feeling was no longer him.

"Because of my companion." I replied calmly.

"Companion...companion...ah...ah..." Did his head hurt again?Or do you recall old memories?

I don't know, but seeing him like this still hurts my heart.

"Well, because of the companion."

It's Naruto and Sakura's voice!
I turned around in surprise, the two of them no longer knew when they were standing side by side with me.They looked at me, and I found trust in their expressions.

"Ah...why! Why! Why can you all...ah..."

"Be careful!" I watched Gaara rushing over desperately, eagerly reminding Sakura and Naruto beside me.

Naruto turned around and dodged to Sasuke's side, picked up Sasuke and wanted to dodge.

"In that case, I'll kill you all..." Gaara raised his claws and aimed at Naruto and Sasuke.Naruto hugged Sasuke and had no time to dodge, but Sakura stood in front of him, holding up Kunai.

Useless, will die.

But... Can't move your body?

Damn, did you run out of chakra...

Before I could react, I felt a huge impact, and then, I flew up into the air and hit the tree trunk violently, my internal organs hurt like they were about to explode.The suffocating pressure was on my body.My consciousness suddenly became blurred.

I tried my best to half open my eyes, and saw Sakura who had passed out.She was being pressed hard by Gaara's claws on the nearby tree trunk.Same experience as me.

I lowered my head, unconsciously looking at the terrifying tentacles pressing on me and Gaara who was facing me, who had completely become a monster.

too naive.

Gaara, you still want to kill me after all...

But Gaara, I don't blame you.

I know it wasn't your intention to do this.

You are just too miserable.too painful……

I fell into a deep sleep.In my deep sleep, I had a long-lost dream.

In the dream, I once again recalled the first time I met Gaara.

The little red-haired boy sat on the swing timidly, and when he heard my words, he suddenly became extremely disappointed.The little girl stood beside him with an innocent and childish smile on her face.

She leaned in front of the boy and whispered, "I don't believe you are a monster..."
