Chapter 79 Sakura's First Battle

Just when the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, three pairs of eyes suddenly stared at them from a distance. There was no doubt that those three gazes were directed at Naruto and the others.

The gaze hidden in the darkness was full of malicious prying, like a wolf greedily eyeing its favorite prey. The originally quiet environment around seemed even more eerie because of this malicious gaze, and even the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the grass seemed like the heavy footsteps of danger approaching.

Naruto was the first to notice it. He smiled and then cast a sharp look in that direction. Sasuke also felt something was wrong. He quietly clenched the weapon beside him. His muscles tensed instantly, and he was as if facing a great enemy. Sakura looked nervous and involuntarily leaned close to Naruto, her body trembling slightly.

However, after being noticed by Naruto, those three pairs of eyes disappeared without a trace like ghosts, but the looming sense of threat hung over the three people like a thick haze, as if foreshadowing that an unpredictable crisis was about to come.

Then, Sakura asked nervously, "Naruto, have you found the enemy again?" Her voice trembled slightly, like a leaf drifting in the wind. Her eyes were full of panic and anxiety, just like a frightened deer, at a loss. Her hands tightly grasped the corner of Naruto's clothes, and her body trembled slightly due to fear, like a delicate flower in the wind, fragile.

Naruto patted Sakura's hand gently and comforted her softly, "Don't be nervous, I made a mistake." Then he looked at Sasuke and gave her a mysterious smile.

Sasuke immediately understood and said, "Since there are no enemies, let's rest early." After that, he sat down against a big tree, soon closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Sakura felt a little relieved after hearing what Naruto said, but she was still scared and her hands did not let go of Naruto's clothes.

Seeing this, Naruto comforted her again: "Sakura, it's really okay, just go to sleep." After saying that, he also found a relatively comfortable place and lay down.

Sakura hesitated for a while, and finally slowly let go of her hand and sat down not far from Naruto, but her eyes still looked around from time to time, not daring to completely relax her vigilance.

The night was getting darker and darker, with only the occasional chirping of insects and Sasuke's gentle breathing. Just when Sakura finally felt a little sleepy, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, rustling the leaves.

Sakura woke up instantly, her heartbeat accelerating rapidly. At this moment, several kunai and shurikens flew towards the three people from the depths of the forest.

Sasuke opened his eyes instantly, and evaded the attack with an agile roll. He quickly drew out his kunai and knocked away the hidden weapon that was flying towards him. Naruto also reacted instantly, and pulled Sakura, who was still panicking, to protect her behind him.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you guys to be so alert." A gloomy voice came from the darkness with a bit of sarcasm.

As the voice appeared, several figures slowly walked out of the woods. There were two men and one woman. The leader had his face covered, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Sasuke frowned and said in a deep voice: "Someone from Sound Ninja."

One of the ninjas snorted, "Sasuke, do you dare to fight me?"

Sasuke would not tolerate such provocation. Electric arcs suddenly surged in his hands, and the Lightning Release - Raikiri burst out instantly. "I'll use you to try out the new move I just learned."

Sasuke rushed towards the ninja as fast as lightning. The electric current on the Raikiri flickered and jumped, crackling, as if it was going to tear the air around it apart.

When the ninja saw this scene, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes involuntarily, but he quickly forced himself to calm down, and quickly formed seals with his hands at lightning speed, preparing to meet Sasuke's fierce attack with all his strength.

At this moment, Sasuke used the "shaving" technique and flashed in front of the man in an instant.

The sudden close approach left the ninja with no time to react and he had no way to avoid it.

His face was instantly filled with extreme fear, and he wanted to retreat but it was too late. Sasuke's Raikiri, with the force of thunder, stabbed at his chest mercilessly.

At this extremely critical moment, the female ninja next to him suddenly threw out a shuriken, trying to interfere with Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and he nimbly sidestepped the shuriken, but his attacking movements did not pause at all.

"Die!" Sasuke roared angrily, and Raikiri stabbed into the masked man's body with full anger.

The ninja let out a shrill scream and fell heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing a large area of ​​the ground red in the blink of an eye.

The remaining two Sound Ninjas witnessed this bloody and tragic scene, and were horrified. They looked at each other in panic, their eyes filled with fear, and instantly wanted to retreat.

At this moment, Naruto teleported and appeared behind the two ninjas.

His sudden appearance made the two already panicked people even more terrified, as if their souls were about to be scared away.

Naruto said, "You can leave if you want. That woman will fight with our female teammates."

The two ninjas were stunned when they heard this. The female ninja instantly showed anger and shouted, "Don't go too far!"

Naruto crossed his arms, his face determined: "What? You don't dare? Then you can't leave today!"

The masked captain of the Sound Ninja gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "You!"

Sakura stepped forward at this time and looked directly at the female ninja with a firm look in her eyes: "I accept the challenge!"

The female voice shinobi sneered: "Humph, you little girl who doesn't know your own limits!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the female ninja rushed towards Sakura like an arrow from a bow, and the kunai in her hand stabbed straight at her like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Sakura, who had a hundred times the power, was not afraid at all. She wanted to take the fierce blow with her strength at first, but she thought of her unskilled "shaving" and decided to try this new skill first. Sakura flashed and tried to perform "shaving", but because she was not very skilled, her movements were a bit clumsy. However, she managed to avoid the fierce stab of the female ninja.

Seeing that her attack missed, the female ninja became more fierce, and her moves came like a storm. Sakura kept trying to master the use of "shaving" while dodging. Gradually, she found some tricks, and her body movements began to become faster and more flexible.

Sakura saw a perfect opportunity, and instantly used "Shave" to get behind the female ninja, and suddenly threw a punch. The female ninja did not expect Sakura's speed to suddenly become so fast, and was hit by this punch and fell forward, her body swaying and almost falling to the ground.

Before the female ninja could stand firm, Sakura used "Shave" again and appeared in front of her in an instant, followed by another fierce kick. The female ninja was kicked back repeatedly, staggering and almost losing her balance.

Sakura continued to attack, and her use of "shaving" became more and more skillful. She kept changing positions, as fast as a ghost, making it impossible for the female ninja to figure out her movements. The female ninja could only wave the kunai blindly, trying to resist Sakura's attack.

Finally, Sakura found the fatal flaw of the female ninja, rushed over with a "shave", gathered a hundred times the strength on her fist, and punched hard with all her strength. This punch was as powerful as a tidal wave, and the female ninja was instantly knocked dozens of meters away like a cannonball, and fell heavily to the ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust.

"You lose!" Sakura said loudly, her voice full of confidence and pride.

With a "gulp" sound, the Sound Ninja Captain swallowed hard.

He stared with wide eyes at the powerful strength displayed by Sakura, his heart filled with shock and fear. The arrogance just now had disappeared without a trace, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His lips trembled as he said, "This... How is this possible?"

Naruto looked at his miserable state and said, "Take your team and leave."

The captain of the Vonin seemed to have been granted amnesty, and hurriedly dragged away two unconscious teammates.

At this time, Sasuke asked in confusion: "Naruto, are you just going to let them go like this?"

Naruto smiled and looked at Sasuke: "These three are Orochimaru's men, the ones who attacked us just now. We still have some use for them."
