Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

Raising her hand to lift the hair on the side of her neck, Hinata said calmly: "Where are Kiba and Naruto?"

Along with the hurried footsteps, Naruto and Kiba did feel an indescribable sense of panic. Sakon and Jirobo, who had been fighting with them before, quickly retreated after receiving the order, and the two who were unable to break through the obstruction were unable to break through. The man, on the other hand, quickly saw the camp that was in a mess, and then followed the traces of battle along the way to catch up.

"Hey~~everyone~! Are you okay?? Damn it, we were held back just now!"

Seeing Shikamaru and others from a distance, Naruto, who was running at the front, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but the teeth following him were obviously more sensitive, and his intuition told him that everyone's emotions were wrong now.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why isn't everyone talking?"

Running in front of everyone, Naruto looked at them strangely, but after seeing Sasuke lying on the ground with a face full of pain, the blond boy's eyes froze involuntarily.

"Ya, have you encountered enemies too? There are two of us here, how about you?"

Hinata spoke in a cold voice. Hinata had vaguely guessed something, but she needed confirmation.

"Hi! They are also two strange ninjas. Their forehead protectors are made of musical notes. If I am correct, they should be the ninjas from the Sound Ninja Village that Kabuto-senpai mentioned before."

He neatly knelt down on one knee, and Ya's words also brought a bit of shame: "I'm really sorry... We couldn't break through their obstruction in time..."

"I severely injured the two sound ninjas who blocked me, and found the last Earth Scroll on the way. Then, tell me the process and details of how you were blocked."

Raising her head to look at Naruto, Hinata's tone did not contain any emotion: "Everyone!"

"Hi! It's like this..."

Ya's fingers subconsciously clenched slightly, and then told the details of the encounter bit by bit, while Naruto, who was looking at Sasuke next to him, also fell silent. Obviously, he had more or less understood what he wanted to do. mistake.

"That is to say...Naruto was imprisoned in the barrier by the enemy from the beginning because of his carelessness and complacency, so he never played any role from beginning to end. Is that right?"

Hinata's expression has become extremely cold, which made her sweat-covered teeth bite her lip slightly: "Actually... this is because the enemy is really... too powerful..."

There is no doubt that even though Yahira ridiculed Naruto in every possible way, it is not difficult to see from these words that he still defended Naruto's position.

In response to Kiba's words, Hinata did not respond. The girl with white eyes just moved her steps lightly, and then walked in front of Naruto. The golden hair that had always been flickering had obviously realized something. Those blue eyes There was even a trace of undisguised begging in his eyes.

In this begging look, Hinata's right hand was raised high, and then suddenly dropped, and a loud slap landed firmly on Naruto's cheek!

Looking at the frightened Naruto in front of her, Hinata also spoke calmly.

"Naruto-kun, you..."

"What a disappointment."

(PS1: Well~ o(*￣▽￣*)o~ Since we have a BOSS battle, it is necessary to have collective experience points and collective upgrades, right?)

(PS2: It’s almost time to end the Death Forest section, eh ~ first update ~)

silence

This slap undoubtedly made Naruto's body tremble slightly.

In terms of strength, this slap had almost no force. Compared to Hinata's usual punch that could make Naruto levitate four or five meters off the ground, this slap was almost like a caress.

However, the meanings of slaps and fists are obviously incomparable.

No matter how hard the fist is, it can't break Naruto's heart, because it symbolizes formal fighting or communication, and represents recognition and acceptance.

The slap, this behavior, is a kind of body language that declares disappointment and rejection, just like the looks and insults that surrounded Naruto when he was a child.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

Kneeling on his knees, Naruto knocked his forehead heavily into the mud in front of him. This posture of sitting down clearly revealed the regret in the blond boy's heart.

Yes, this was the first time Naruto admitted his mistake to others.

When he was a child, he never apologized no matter how much the people around him bullied him. Because, even though he has a careless character on the surface, Naruto also has a sense of resentment in his heart. He does not think that he has made any mistakes, so he will not apologize to anyone around him. Even if he is caught playing a prank, he will never apologize to anyone around him. Don't apologize.

Because I didn't do anything wrong...I just wanted others to notice me.

It was this thought that made Naruto never say 'I'm sorry' to anyone.

But today, Naruto felt unspeakable regret. He knew Hinata's disappointment in him. As the third member of the Three Holy Fists of Nanto, he was also the earliest member of Hinata's group, and even one of Hinata's classmates. He was proud of his status. Even if he didn't say it, he could tell that he felt proud of being looked down upon by the people around him because of his status.

However, he disappointed Hinata because of his carelessness and complacency.

Moreover, because of his own absence, Sasuke was seriously injured here.

Such regret came from the bottom of Naruto's heart, and made him kneel down to apologize willingly, without even any hesitation or hesitation.

Hinata looked at Naruto in front of her silently. She was not surprised in her heart, but the anger could not be easily eliminated no matter what. If based on the current overall strength, the three members of Team 7 are undoubtedly the three most powerful ninjas in Hinata's group.

However, Hinata dispatched two sound-nins by herself, Sasuke also successfully injured Orochimaru, but Naruto was treated like a pig by the enemy for most of the day, and he didn't even offer any help. , if Orochimaru hadn't specifically issued an order not to kill members of Hinata's team this time, I'm afraid that Kiba would have been seriously injured or even killed by Sakon in the confrontation.

All of this was caused by Naruto's mistakes.

The other members watched Naruto's apology silently. They also knew very well how serious the mistake was that caused the loss of the team's combat power because of Naruto's recklessness and carelessness.

This is different from Shikamaru's mistake. Shikamaru tried his best, but was abruptly overturned because of the enemy's powerful strength. But Naruto, because of his own recklessness, fell victim to the enemy's restricted ninjutsu in vain, thus wasting his own strength.

"I don't want to say more about the consequences of your stupidity. I think you should be aware of it. So, now that all the scrolls have been collected, take Sasuke with you and we will head towards the Woodland Tower."

Turning around, Hinata did not accept Naruto's apology. She knew very well that so-called verbal apologies were of no use, and it would depend on the subsequent behavior of the person who apologized.

So, now that Orochimaru's BOSS battle has ended, the fragrant phosphorus has been successfully captured, and the scrolls have also been collected, there is no reason to continue to stay in this broken forest full of miasma.

The next trip was undoubtedly very dull. Choji, who was carrying Sasuke on his back, was surrounded in the center, and the rest of the people were on guard all the way forward, because the power of this reinforced group was really huge, and all the hostile ninjas they encountered along the way were also Wisely stay away from them, and those mindless beasts and the like will undoubtedly become a snack on the Hinata team's road.

And Sasuke's situation is also very worrying. Originally, he should have recovered quickly after merging the curse seal, but this time it seemed different, as if the power of the curse seal could not match Sasuke's detection. It was as if Carat had completed the fusion, so that during the whole day and night of marching, the black-haired boy never woke up, and his body temperature was astonishingly high.

If Hinata thought about it carefully, she would understand that the curse seal, as a corrosive special chakra, must be fused with the host's own chakra to be effective. However, as a foreign object, the fusion of the curse seal will inevitably be affected by the host itself. Chakra resistance.

The strength of Sasuke in the original book is far less than that of Sasuke now, so the chakra that was sealed by the curse was quickly fused, resulting in the effect of state one. But now, Sasuke's strength has been greatly improved, and the resistance to the curse seal has become stronger, so that it has been unable to complete the fusion.

In addition, the various secret medicines Choji brought along the way were fed to Sasuke to replenish chakra and physical strength, so that Sasuke's physical strength was constantly restored, making this tug-of-war even longer.

But what is certain is that Sasuke's strength will undoubtedly take a small leap. The battle between the chakra of the curse and the chakra of one's own is a disguised form of exercise enhancement mode. It is very dangerous at this time, because it will consume a lot of nutrients and energy stored in oneself. If you are not careful, it may even happen. Possibility of failure due to physical exhaustion and death.

But because of Choji's secret Akida medicine, Sasuke's body cells were continuously replenished and absorbed energy and nutrients on a large scale, which was equivalent to a high-speed internal growth.

Although the curse seal will definitely be fused in the end, due to the slow fusion speed, it will definitely be more perfectly integrated with Sasuke's body, and the power it exerts will be more powerful, at least it is unlikely to reappear like in the original work. The pain is so painful that one cannot move, and even interferes with one's own chakra activity.

Therefore, Sasuke definitely doesn't need to worry. Although Hinata still has to put on an expressionless face in order to cooperate with the group of people around her who don't know the plot, she is used to it.

Naruto undoubtedly looked a little depressed. Due to Hinata's authority, other people in Hinata's group couldn't comfort him, so in the past few days, Naruto undoubtedly seemed to have returned to the way he was criticized by thousands of people when he was a child. The environment was the same, but the golden retriever boy obviously knew that this was his punishment, so he didn't say a word even though he gritted his teeth. He knew very well that he needed to use actual actions to make up for this mistake in the future.

There is no doubt that Shikamaru and others have become much calmer. After this experience, the pineapple-headed boy has obviously realized the lack of resourcefulness, and he has understood a more profound truth: if you cannot do your best, you will have to pay for it. The price is likely to be more than just one's own. Those who trust him and follow his orders are the first to pay the price.

This kind of mental pressure made Shikamaru very nervous. The same goes for everyone else. At least Choji rarely eats potato chips during this period, and his previous state of focusing on food has also restrained a lot. He should know that he is fighting now, not traveling.
