Chapter 161 Kaguya Kimimaro

After the four defeated their opponents, they reunited not long after. They all had more or less traces of the battle, their torn clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, and the wounds on their faces and bodies still hurt slightly, but these could not hide the light in their eyes at the moment. However, at this moment, their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

They smiled at each other, their smiles were full of relief and pride. They seemed to be happy for everyone's victory over their opponents. In this tough battle, they defeated their opponents with the skills taught by Naruto. You have to know that the enemy they just defeated was an enemy who could compete with the Jonin. If it weren't for the skills taught by Naruto, they would have to pay a heavy price to defeat the four Sound Ninjas. They knew this very well, so they were grateful to Naruto.

Recalling the process of the battle, every thrilling moment made them feel frightened. But it was at the critical moment that the skills taught by Naruto played a key role, allowing them to turn danger into safety and finally win.

Then the four of them no longer hesitated, their eyes were firm, their bodies were vigorous, and they chased in the direction of Sasuke and Xiao Li. Their footsteps were quick and powerful, and they made a dull sound when they stepped on the ground, as if announcing their determination.

The wind whistled in their ears, blowing up their hair and clothes, as if to cheer them up. They had only one goal in mind, and that was to find Sasuke as soon as possible.

On the other side, Xiao Li, who was chasing Sasuke, was very close to Sasuke because he had eaten the speed fruit. Xiao Li's figure was like a flash of lightning, leaving a series of blurred afterimages in the air. His eyes were fixed on Sasuke in front of him, and his heart was full of firm determination.

The wind whistled past his ears, as if cheering him on. Xiao Li felt the thrill of speed, and a strong sense of confidence surged in his heart. He knew that he had to catch up with Sasuke as soon as possible and stop him from going down the wrong path.

As the distance between them continued to shorten, Xiao Li became more and more nervous. He didn't know how Sasuke would react, but he was ready. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would not give up. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to make Sasuke turn back.

Sasuke in front seemed to feel Xiao Li's approach, and his footsteps paused slightly, but soon continued to move forward. Sasuke's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He didn't know whether his choice was right, but he had no way back.

Xiao Li looked at Sasuke's back and swore in his heart that he would bring Sasuke back no matter what. He increased his speed and rushed towards Sasuke. A fierce chase was about to begin.

"Sasuke-kun, please stay. I don't know why you want to leave Konoha, but we don't want you to go further down the wrong path. Those ninjas we met just now, if we guess correctly, should be from the Sound Ninja. Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, he is our common enemy. You shouldn't associate with him, it will only put you in an irretrievable situation. Sasuke-kun, turn back, come back to us, let's fight together to protect Konoha, and fight for those who have paid for us. We are partners, we have experienced so many difficulties and challenges together, aren't these enough to make you stop? Think about the vows we once made, think about the days when we struggled together, don't be blinded by hatred, don't let yourself fall into an abyss from which you cannot extricate yourself. Sasuke-kun, come back!" Xiao Li shouted anxiously, his eyes full of expectation and worry.

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Sasuke shook his body slightly, then stopped and turned to look at Xiao Li. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with struggle, pain, and a subtle touch of emotion.

"Li, I have my own reasons and someone I want to see. I hope you won't stop me." Sasuke's voice was low and firm, as if he was stating a decision that could not be changed.

Xiao Li looked at Sasuke, feeling helpless and distressed. He knew the pain and hatred in Sasuke's heart, but he also understood that Sasuke's choice might bring irreversible consequences.

"Sasuke-kun, I understand your pain, but you can't lose yourself because of hatred. Orochimaru is not someone you can trust, he will only use you. Let's go back to Konoha, we will work together to find a solution to the problem." Rock Lee tried to persuade Sasuke, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Sasuke lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his head again, his eyes still full of determination.

"Li, thank you for your concern, but I have made up my mind. I must become stronger. Only in this way can I avenge my family." Sasuke said, turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiao Li looked at Sasuke's back, feeling helpless and worried. He knew that he couldn't change Sasuke's decision, but he wouldn't give up easily. He secretly vowed to find a way to make Sasuke come back.

Just as Xiao Li was about to continue chasing Sasuke, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Li. Sasuke and Xiao Li both stopped and looked at the person who came.

This man had white hair, pure as snow, fluttering gently in the breeze. His face was stern, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. He exuded a powerful aura that made people feel in awe.

Xiao Li looked at the newcomer warily, his mind full of doubts. Who was this person? Why was he here? Was he Sasuke's helper? Countless questions flashed through Xiao Li's mind.

Sasuke also looked at the newcomer, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to know this person, but he was not sure why he came.

The white-haired man stood there quietly, without saying a word, just looking at Sasuke and Xiao Li with his deep eyes. The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if a storm was about to come.

At this time, Kimimaro whispered: "Sasuke, I am Kaguya Kimimaro. I am here to pick you up on the orders of Lord Orochimaru and that adult. You continue to move forward. I will hold them off here." Then he looked at Xiao Li quietly.

Kimimaro's voice was cold and firm, as if he was declaring an order that could not be disobeyed. His eyes revealed an absolute confidence, as if he did not take Xiao Li seriously.

Xiao Li stared at Kimimaro closely, with a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from Kimimaro, and this person was definitely an extremely powerful opponent.

Sasuke looked at Kimimaro, nodded slightly, then turned around and continued to walk forward. He knew that with Kimimaro here, it would be difficult for Xiao Li to catch up with him.

Kimimaro looked at Sasuke's departing back, and a subtle complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Li, and his eyes instantly became cold and sharp.

"You'd better not try to stop Sasuke, otherwise, you will pay a heavy price." Kimimaro's voice was like ice, making people shudder.
